First Friday!

 Mariana danced at First Friday downtown. It was so fun to watch and our first time to attend. What a fun event! (G was supposed to dance but her partner was injured :/ )

Happy Valentine's Day!

 We enjoyed a visit from Lito to deliver treats. Then he treated Mariana to lunch in congrats for her acceptance into A&M (and I picked up MOOYAH burgers for Austin and I to enjoy on his lunch break. Yum!).

Confirmation Sponsor

 Gloria will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation this year, and she chose a sweet friend of ours as her sponsor. 💓

Our newest Aggie

Mariana received the news of her acceptance to Texas A&M this past weekend. We are so proud of her and so thankful to have another Aggie in the family. What a blessing!

We "accidentally" discovered it while she was at work because I received a financial aid email from A&M, so we got her some little treats to surprise her when she came home. :)

Plum Tree

 This guy has been interested in planting a plum tree (and asking for one for his birthday) for a while. We had some dear friends over who are experts in fruit trees, and he enjoyed chatting with them about it. They were so sweet to surprise us with one on our front porch later that evening. He was so excited!

He and Austin planted it today (in the rain!).

We are thinking of making horticulture his 4H Project. He was wanting to do animals, but plants are so much easier/cheaper!

First Lost Tooth!

 Cecilia has been waiting while all her other friends have lost teeth. She finally did it today. It became crazy loose after she bit into an apple, and then this strawberry did the rest of the work for her. 

She got to choose a treat and chose colored cones and ice cream from HEB which she happily shared with her siblings. Sweet girl!

Lock in for Life

 Our parish had it's annual Lock in last night. The kids had a blast but we always wonder why we let them do it when they are so tired for days later. At least it's only once a year! This was taken around 5:30am after they had some talks and activities at church, went to Grand Station for 5ish hours and then came back to church for more fun (can you tell how tired they are?).
