DEBI'S BELATED BIRTHDAY




Well, as you all know, I am not always up on things. First of all, Debi's birthday snuck up on me. I always seem to remember Matthew's because he was born during the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Now Debi, comes along this year, when I am trying to do a very difficult classroom. So, I not only forget to put her card in her childrens package, but then I forget to post my tribute to her. Good thing she is a Mom and realizes how life gets complicated. No, Deb I do not love you any less than your brother, I just haven't had one second to post this. BUT HERE GOES YOUR TRIBUTE
1. Debi is the most organized person I know. She likes to plan things out and does a great job
2. She is a TERRIFIC MOM. She is so cute with those girls and tries so hard to be the best mom she knows how.
3. She is a great runner- wow, I have never entered a marathon, but she does and does a great job. I got to go see her run in Pittsburgh a year ago.
4. She is a terrific decorator. I love her house and the things that she has done with it. She definatley has a talent.
5. She makes fantastic HAIR BOWS for her children. I love the bows that she does and she could have a whale of a business.
6. SHE IS VERY SMART. Ok, she will hate this, but I have to brag. She graduated in Human Resources from Utah State. Then when she was pregnant with Sophie, she decided to go back to get her Masters. She never told any of us and after Sophie was about a year, she graduated WITH HONORS from the University of Nevada. Not only with honors, but just a few people get chosen to be honored to belong to a group of NATIONAL business degrees that is very exclusive and YES, she is a member. SHE GOT STRAIGHT A's. Now that seems a great feat, and she did it while her husband is in school too, she is nursing her baby, and working full time. YES, she is SMART.
7. She loves her husband very much. SHE IS A TERRIFIC WIFE. They are the cutest couple ever.
8. She loves to shop- Yes, she really takes after me.
9. She is a bargain shopper- much better than me.
10. She hates the phone- not at all like me.
11. She really plays with her children. She is adorable playing dolls or whatever they want to play.
12. She is very healthy. She never gives her kids treats that are not healthy, and makes sure she gives them good nutrious treats.
13. She has a terrific shape. She watches what she eats, well forget the ice cream and chocolate, and she looks fantastic. TINY.
14. She is a good friend. She loves people, and loves to be good to her friends.
15. SHE LOVES A GOOD PARTY and knows how to throw one. She does a great job at any party you want her to throw. I have been to a few, and they are steller.
16. She is a GREAT DRESSER. She loves clothes, and always looks cute. She even looks cute when she is running.
17. She likes to go to bed early and get up early. This is great for her kids.
18. She can handle her kids by herself, 4 days a week. Travis is a consultant, and travels to his jobs and she is home with the kids herself. I could never handle a 6, 3 and 1 1/2 year old by myself.
19. Debi is very honest.
20. She is a great jogger and walker. I had so much fun walking with her in Pittsburgh. I hope she remembers the night we went in a rain storm. FUN, FUN, FUN.
21. She loves to travel. Deb and Travis go on great trips. They seen most of the back east sights, gone on cruises, been to Europe, and I think she would travel all the time, if she could.
22. She loves to ski, and wishes there was more skiing back east.
23. She is a great Primary teacher. She loves her little class.
24. She is a great cook, and loves to try new things.
25. She is very organized and can get alot done in a short amount of time.
26. She still loves Ralph Lauren- she worked for Polo once in Jackson Hole.
27. I think she has a nice singing voice, but she doesn't believe it.
28. She is very thrifty, in everything she does.
29. She is a FANTASTIC DAUGHTER and loves her family very much. She tries hard to do what is right, and is teaching her daughters valuable life lessons. She loves her Heavenly Father, and is a great GIRL. I am SO HAPPY SHE IS MY DAUGHTER. I love you and I am so, SO SORRY THIS IS A LATE POST.
NO MORE BECAUSE NONE OF MY KIDS ARE GOING TO GO TO 30!!!!!!

You have a beautiful family. Ella looks very sweet. What an exciting time for you all!!! Enjoy spoiling that new little princess! Your rag quilt was cute and girlie- just perfect. As far as my rag quilt goes. I cut 7 in. squares and it is 6x7. I also used 9 different flannels. I backed it all in the same fabric though (the polka dots). It was SOOO fun to make.

They went straight from doctor check-up to hospital and had the baby last night. Brian is supposed to try to get some pictures and all the details posted today. They say he looks very much like Kennedy did but not quite as much hair. Of course they think he is so, so cute!!:) Anyway, all was well last night about 9:30 our time. Whew!! I leave Monday morning to go help take care of everybody! I think Grandma is going to be doing the Princess Birthday Party! :) Keep checking their blog for more details and thanks again for caring!!
