A Day With Debbie

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Leticia is a friend from my childhood, we went to church together and also school...She was in my wedding party. On Fri, she turned the BIG 50---her little sister, Melissa gave her a big party at the church annex on Sat--we could not attend because we were having Loralys party here so, we went to church in Irving with papa and Letitcias family on Sunday and all went to eat afterwards together!

On Sat, we had a big "Minnie Mouse" themed Birthday party for Loraly.
We rented a big jump house and had a pinata full of candy along with lots of cake and presents for the birthday girl.
Lindsay had decided to have her party a little early, actual birthday is Nov17, because of baby Sophie coming...

on Sunday, Oct we had a small baby shower for Lindsay...several of her good firends came, she got a few really nice gifts for Sophie...now, we just need Sophie to be here!
I can't wait for your Birthday, to get to hold you, love you and see your sisters reaction to their new baby sisiter who have they have been waiting patiently for...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET HUSBAND, 53 YRS YOUNG TODAY

more of my favorite part of my birthday

this is the most favorite part of my birthday

9-11-01
Kaitlyn had started Kindegarten in Kopperl and Mike and I were getting ready for our very 1st Grandparents Day Lunch with our little first grand-daughter.
I remember having the "Today Show" on--then there was a news flash..
I remember seeing the Tower falling..
I remember seeing all the smoke and then the plane hit the other Tower..
I remember seeing the second Tower fall..
I remember seeing people running and crying...

I remember holding and hugging Madalyn, she was just a baby, I was watching her while Lindsay worked..
I remember picking Mike up and the drive to Kopperl...
I remember the radio playing and there were no songs...
I remember getting to Katys school, we were late cause the cafeteria lady I had called to see what time Katys lunch was gave me the wrong time...we checked in, were told to not mention the happenings of the morning to the children, no one wanted them to be scared the rest of the day till their parents picked them up and could talk to them about the day..
I remember walking into Katys computer class, she had had some tears, her little face was red, she thought we had forgot about Grandparents Day..
Mrs West let her go and have lunch with us and get our first Grandparents Day pic made together...
I remember her smile when she saw us walk into her class room...

I remember calling my children, my friends, my parents, my father in law..
I remember tv that night and all the people who had lost love ones, the signs made and placed everywheres...
I remember my prayer that night, to please keep my family, my children, my grand-daughters, my friends safe..to take care of people that had lost loved ones..for our nation to be whole again...
I remember flags..
I remember sports events that cancelled for the following weeks..
I remember no airplanes flying by for days..
I remember Pres.Bush face when told of the tradegy as he sat with a class of students...

I remember her face when she saw us walk into her class room..
Now, she is in 6th grade, half of her school life is now almost over, next will be JrHigh then HighSchool..
Ironic that Grandparents Day lunch was 9-11 again.. 6 yrs later.
I remember her face today when I walked into her lunch room..

Today, we got to go to Madalyns school and have lunch with her to celebrate "Grandparents Day"! We had so much getting to eat Bushes Chicken with her! Then, we got to go to her room and she made us a beautiful card with her picture on it wearing her pretty cheetah girl shirt.
Thank you for a very special lunch Madalyn, we love you so much.
You are the sweetest 1st grader I know!
I am so happy to get to be your "Ma"!

I am teaching for our churches MDO program this year--I have such a fun class of almost 3 yr. olds---they are all so sweet and funny!

one day....like Madalyn says, "we have to save all our money for Longhorn school!"

Loraly started dance class on Wed night..she is following her big sister Madalyns footsteps---ballet then tap... Miss Meredith is Loralys teacher as she was Madalyns also...

On Tuesday, you will start MDO again this year---you will love playing with all your friends and getting to go to school, it will be so much fun! You are our "Little Princess"...You are so cute, your little looks, always cracking us up, even when we are "Buddas"---our fish, how I love to watch you swim!
I love my LulaBelle!!!!

for my favorite first grader....I hope this year that you meet a lot of new friends, learn more about spelling and math and just enjoy each and every day! I love your sweet smile and the way you talk to me on the phone! You are such a special little girl and I only hope you know just how much I love you!

for my sweet sixth grader---what a truly sweet girl you are, I hope you learn more and more every day. I love your giggles and frowns so much! Enjoy this year, have a great time with all your friends..and stop growing up so fast!!!! I love you Miss Kaityln.

This summer, I had took Kaitlyn several times to shop for school clothes, backpack adn lunchbox, so Mike & I decided to take Madalyn today to shop for some special 1st grade clothes---she decided she really likes "Limited 2", in her words, "it was cool"---She got several mix/match outfits and then one special sweat outfit with DANCE on her bottom---
So that Loraly would not feel left out, we also got her a pretty outfit too...
What fun to shop for our little special girlies!
