It's Birthday Time again

Today September 23rd is Don's birthday, and tomorrow the 24th is Mallory's birthday! Mal and my other girls celebrate their birthdays all week. Don just one day. The girls have a lot of fun with that. I wish them both a wonderful day with family and friends, and for them to know how important they are every day to us.

My husband is a wonderful man and priesthood holder and a great example of how a father and husband should be. He is fun/funny and he makes me laugh. I'm so thankful we are an eternal family.

My Baby is 20

Yes, it's 9/11. the day after the BIG one for me. but 20 years ago I was in labor on my birthday and had this crazy wonderful person the next day. I think he was 6lbs 7oz I don't remember because I was out cold. C-section. He has been a good friend of mine since the day he was born.

He loves sports, he plays softball (church) soccer,(red mt. high) football ( Red Mt, Stapley Jr. and Shepard.) basketball (church) Golf.(fun) extreme skipping, skateboarding, and his favorite, Volleyball all four years at Red Mt. High school. His big sister Kim made the shorts he is wearing in this soccer picture. Taylor even was ok with me being his soccer coach for a few years in a row.

Now, he is on a church mission in Uruguay, South America. He has been serving for almost 11 months. The time has gone by fast. He loves the people, and is learning the gospel, so he can share it to the fullest.

The teen years are gone for him now. But I know he is just as happy if not more so because of the choices he made as a teen. Happy Birthday My Son.

My name is debbie and I'm 50....

That's right, today is the 50th anniversary of my birth. It started with eggs and bacon that were made by my wonderful husband. Then off to work where the kids, teachers and staff all made me feel special. They also spoke louder, so I could hear them better, and helped me find chairs to sit on because I was looking older. lol
When I got home I found items of 50 around the house. 50 stickers, 50 cho. chips. 50 paper clips. A book on what I should do before I turn 50. (To late) Thank you to all you dear people who wished me a happy day with 50 something-or-another. My Mother sent me 25 two dollar bills.
Don and I went to a movie, we saw "Takers" it was a interesting movie. Much better then some of the comedy's we've seen lately. We actually walked out of the last two comedy's we saw. Any way, When we got home there was a house full of family. My kids had planned a BIG sandwich party. My Brothers, my sisters, my grandma, my aunt and uncle, my cousins, nieces and nephew, my dad, my parent-in-laws. my kids and Mallory and Hanna on Skype were all there to greet me and the door with a big surprise! We then went down stairs and they had me sit in the wheel chair, and I opened up 50 bags of items. You know how long it takes to open up 50 bags of things? I received some fun stuff. I'll post pictures next time. Then back up stairs for the Ice cream cake. What a fun day! I love my family and thank them for making the day special. Thank you for all the text's I received during the day and the emails from family and friends. Thank you Don for being my husband.
