A Fun Day in the Sun!

This morning we woke up and wondered what to do on such a beautiful day. Adriana and I thought about playing tennis, the men wanted to work out and I knew the girls would like to swim in a pool so we went to....Fayetteville Athletic Club. We played tennis, worked out, swam in the pool, and had so much fun! Tomorrow it is suppose to rain so we will have to be inside. Good thing we played outside today!


Learning how to back float with papa!

Swimming...

Smiling and having a good time in the pool :)

She loves the pool with Eduardo, not necessarily me...

Even getting her hair wet under the mushroom she loves with him.

Blueberry Picking

Day Two: We all went to a blueberry picking farm today! It was beautiful weather and delicious blueberries. We all ate TONS as we were picking, but Ana Maria won the prize for eating and picking the most! She was serious about picking but was smiling the whole time with Laura Sofia helping her. Afterwards we went to "Oops" store and shopped a little and now we are home. Laura Sofia and the men have camp this afternoon so we are resting for that. Who knows what we'll do later?? We'll keep you posted! :)


Can you see how many blueberries she has in the corner of her mouth? haha!

Picking, picking, picking!

Eating, eating, eating!

Eating even green ones :)

She took her job serious!

"Where's the bucket??"

Our buckets were almost full...

It's FULL! It took us a long time to get a gallon worth but we did it!

Tulsa Zoo

Tio Jose, Tia Adriana and Laura Sofia arrived this morning from Miami, FL! We are so excited they are here for the week and we have so many fun things planned.
Our first day...the Tulsa Zoo! We enjoyed a picnic lunch, spent the day at the zoo, came home and swam in the pool that they brought for Ana Maria and ate a yummy taco dinner. We are tired but looking forward to another fun day tomorrow...we'll keep you posted!


Laura Sofia (my niece) and I enjoying the zoo...I am so happy she is here!

Finger Park

Eduardo and I are always looking for new places to take Ana Maria. We finally found where "Finger Park" was, which I've heard a lot of moms talking about. It was a fun park and Ana Maria had a great time with us!


She's not too crazy about the slides but when she decides to go down, it is usually head first or backwards!

Our big girl!!

VIDEO: She LOVES juice boxes and will usually drink the whole box in one gulp. We have to tell her to take a break and breathe, haha!

Laura Sofia is coming!!

YEAH!! We are so excited that Laura Sofia is coming Sunday...only 2 more days until we see her! Ana Maria cannot wait, and of course Tio Eduardo and I can't either! She is coming with Tio Jose (Eduardo's brother from Port St. Lucie) and Adriana (Eduardo's sister-in-law). She is the daughter of his other brother Mario who lives in Miami. She is coming for the University of Arkansas tennis camps that Eduardo is hosting next week and the week after at the university. She is a great tennis player and is going to have fun at the camp, as well as with us doing so many fun things during the days!!
We can't wait for you to come Laura Sofia!!


This is a picture from Christmas at their house in Miami. It's Laura Sofia, Daniela and Gabriela with Ana Maria. We wish we could see the other girls too but we will be in Florida soon to spend time with them.

Isn't she beautiful?? She looks like a model in this picture!

FAC Hoe-Down Party

School is over and summer is here! FAC's Jumpstart pre-school officially ended Friday and next week summer school will begin. They had a terrfic end of the year hoe-down party and performance. Ana Maria didn't attend pre-school this year but will in August. As you know, I helped teach in the 1 year old class and helped them perform that night. The rest of the night I was with Ana Maria enjoying the pony rides and games. She had never rode a pony before so it was so much fun to see her face. She loves horses so I had a feeling she would love this!







VIDEO: Not quite sure about it still!
