David's 40th Birthday!

By -



Here are some pictures from my cousin David's 40th birthday. All day he said "I'm 40 years old today." So cute, right. Anyway....I wish you all could have been there. It was amazing. I never got to know David as I was growing up. He was raised by a foster family. Now as adults, we are getting to know David. He is really special and you can only feel happy when you are around him. He has manerism like Uncle Gilbert and is loud like Tommy! His foster family loves him very much and even after the parents died, his foster "brothers and sisters" care for him. I didn't know that Aunt Vicki has always been involved in his life, just from the sidelines a bit. I can't imagine the ache she has carried around in her heart all these years. It was a wonderful day of bringing together two families that love David very much.

I want you to know how much I admire you. I know that time is short for you and your family to be together and there are lots of things to do. But somehow I feel that you are one of the lucky ones. In these next few weeks, you will love Jeron more than you ever have and you will cherish all your moments together as a family as most of us civilians never do. You are strong. You come from strong stock. Me, my mom, her mom, grandma hett, aunt julie, stacey, kristie. When you were Charly's age, you always loved to be in the wind and rain. I would carry you and try to shield you from the bad weather, but you always poked your little face, loving the rain and wind beating on it. I still have that image of that baby girl as I look as you now. You have challenges and trials and yet are so willing and ready to face them head on. Love each second with your husband! He is a good man. Know that the Lord is mindful of you and keep a record of his many blessings to you and Jeron. You...

A Challenge

By Stacey -
So Jake and I have been watching a lot of tv and decided to take pick at least one day of the week and not turn on the TV at all. We challenge you guys to do the same. We are going to do Mon ( our fam home evening day). So, we challenge you guys to do the same...no TV, no movies, and no excessive internet surfing for one day a week. Go for a walk, a hike, start reading a book together, clean, make dinner together, do random service for people you don't know, go to bed early! Let me know how it all goes!

hi Ya'll (thats what everyone says here in TX) Jeron and I have made great friends with Vanessa And Eder..... (jeron works with him) They are really down to earth and are SO good with charly. They are our age and both mexican.....(jeron fits right in with them... lol kidding) Last night the 4 1/2 of us went to a carnival.... we all took turns riding the rides and watching charly.... then we all stuffed our faces with corn on the cob, cotton candy (which charly loved), and caramel apples YUMM. we watched all the animals in the petting zoo, got fake tattoos (some things never get old) and just sat and talked. It was so fun. It just made me feel so good.....Just in the sense of me and jeron and charly being our own little family in Texas..... 100's of miles from where we were raised..........being on our own... not depending on anyone anymore.... and being so happy together. I feel like we have come so far from where we were 2 years ago... when I didn't eve...
