My Birthday Celebration

My birthday was great this year. I celebrated for a week! Saturday, we had a girls day out with lunch and then a special treat. We all went for a mani/pedi and shopped and had so much fun. We laughed all day. Then we ended the day with a "jewelry trunk" show at Rita's. Irene displayed her necklaces and then we walked next door to David's for bbq.

Before and after

I just had my pool replastered and a little patio area done.
This is a before and after shot.

EASTER @ KC

Had a great time at KC. We all went to mass. There was drama. Dad was an usher and at Communion time he had a little dizzy spell...and he had to be helped to a seat by the other usher. Finally he was escorted out by Ronnie and Jaime Vasquez ..along with David..and Gary ...and Roper.....Irene.... LOL!!
EVERYBODY BUT HIS WIFE...WHO CONTINUED...SINGING .....
Dad was alright , he says he got alittle too hot..
David and I gave mom a hard time cause.... she KEPT SINGING...while her husband was being tended to by everyone else.

Hope everyone had a good Easter ... with plenty to eat.
Don't tell mom I put this on the blog about her still singing!!! LOL!!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to the family. My family are heading to mass and dinner at Mom's. David and family are there and we are hoping to have a great celebration. There were thunderstorms last night but all seems quite now. Just cloudy and alittle cool.

On another note ... Mom saw the cardiologist nurse the other day and they told her all is well . They don't want to see her there for another year!!! She will stay on Coumadin. On the same note... Dad saw the arthritis doctor who has been treating him for almost two years with predasone for the condition he had . They have minimized the dosage little by little and it seems Dad is rid of that too. Yeah!! That is two less doctors they have to see.

GOD IS GOOD! Easter blessings to all the family.

Everyone try to do some posting today .

Enjoying the day @ McDonalds

Texas

Its 84 here today.......they say there's a big blizzard heading our way. Hmmmmm..... Texas weather. One day flip flops ...tomorrow snow boots!!

Roper was heading to the panhandle tomorrow for a judging contest and it was canceled due to the weather.

A TRIP TO VISALIA

Me and Rudy

Elise, Lila and Rudy. I was the photographer

Me and Rudy

Last week we took a trip to Visalia to See Rudy and family. W took a side trip to Hanford, a city next to Visalia. In the downtown area there is still the old Hanford and there we toured the old courthouse, the old Hanford Auditorium, and some really beautiful old restored houses. We had a huge ice cream platter for four in and old ice cream shoppe that belongs to a dairy in the downtown area. Great ice cream. We had an enjoyable day there and the rest of the time we spent eating. LOL. All in all we had an enjoyable short trip.

Happy Birthday to my Meho!!

You all know who this is cause you know that this is the kid that gets on her the most since his mom is the administrator!!! Hahhaa!!! If someone else would post pictures there wouldn't be this problem---hahaha!

Roper is 18 today. Getting ready for college. He is decided to accept a schloarship offer to South Plains College in Levelland , Texas . Levelland is about 25 mi. west of Lubbock. His schloarship is in Livestock judging. They travel to all the stockshows in Texas and southern states judging . After two years there hopefully he will flow into Texas Tech. Alot of them do that who are on the judging team. They go judge for Texas Tech. I am so excited for him but sad to see him go off.....away from Mom. He wants to go into livestock production ...but he is inspiring to be a state representative one day .........and I know my son can do it. He is just like his grandma and mom.....loves to argue politics.

Happy Birthday to my baby!

THIRD PLACE PIG AT SAN ANGELO STOCKSHOW

Had to post this picture of Roper taken at the stock show in San Angelo. This was his last stock show to show in . I always wanted a picture like this to hang on my wall,,,from my little farm boy.
I won't have nothing to post after Roper graduates this May so who else is going to putting up pictures.......????

Mom is home

Just in case you don't know ...Mom was released this morning. Sylvia drove up from Ft. Worth as earlyas she could so she could fix mom 's hair before everyone got out of church and it was for nothing!!! Hahaha... they will be playing beauty shop i'm sure today . Mom may be sick but her hair is going to look ALIVE!!!

Eva

Just got home from KC . Mom seemed to be doing better. When I got there she was sleeping and I mean sleeping . She was snoring and didn't even know I came in and had a seat.

She is bored and can't seem to lay there . I told her to just lay..and rest so she put it on her FOX... and it seemed to make her sit still. There are a total of 3 patients at the hospital ...so they are pretty much there if she needs something . I am thinking with another dose of antiboitics or so and another chest treatment ...she should be able to go home by Monday. At the time I left she was more concerned on how her hair looked. I am leaving that to her other daughter that will be there tomorrow. I was more concerned with providing company than good looks !! Hahaha.

Dad ...seems lost without her being around ...but he also got some rest .... at the house.
He still has a cough but with continuous doses of his meds he should be okay.

Thats all for now.

Eva

Just a quick note for those who don't know : Mom was put in the hospital yesterday. She took daddy to the doctor for a bad cough and then she told the doctor she was still sick . She hasn't had a voice all week. They gave her blood test and x-rays and come to find out she has phenumeonia......so she is at KC hospital. They had her on antiobiotics and today were going to have her on some breathing treatments. Hopefully she will get some rest in there as well. She never stops when she is at home. She had this cold almost a week ...and it turned into this partly cause she doesn't rest.

Video of Roper showing at San Antonio Stockshow... hope it works..

Rita

Well I wanted to let you know that Rita is back in the hospital. (Plaza Medical) She has been having some problems with her breathing and has severe swelling in her belly and one leg. This has been happening over quite some time and she finally went to the ER. Her lungs are filled with fluid so tomorrow they will attempt to drain some fluid from her lungs and stomach with needle aspiration. Lasix too. We visited her tonight and she seems in good spirits. Actually, it was a small family get together...Kirk,Eloise, Gilbert, and Sylvia were also there! I will update the blog as we get new info.

Happy Birthday PHIL!

My DAD is 55 today!

Here is a pic to remind you what he does best, telling jokes (that only sometimes are funny! :)

My dad might have a big belly, but he has an even bigger heart! He is the most generous, unselfish person out there and I definitely miss him.

If you are in the area, my mom is throwing him a party

Irene 's report...on Eva

Mom had her heart cath done today and it came out beautiful. No blockage anywhere. Doc said it looked really really good. We just have to deal with the atrial filbrilation. Hopefully with medication we can regulate it sooner or later. So now she will stay on Rythmol and Coumadin.
She is home now.

The All Male Beauty Pageant

Last Saturday Roper's Sr. Class sponsored a ALL MALE BEAUTY PAGEANT to raise money for project graduation. Roper was a good sport and entered. There were 6 Sr. boys, and the rest were thier teachers, principals,,,and the Pres. of the school board Roper made a cutie pie!!!

Marion and Dominique Barber

We were invited to the Mavs/Utah game in the Dr Pepper suite and got to watch the game with Marion Barber, his brother Dominique (he plays for the Houston Texans), and another college friend of theirs. Also in our suite was T.O.'s assistant, she was very nice also. A friend of mine is a director at Dr Pepper and he was the one that took us. Food, drinks, and excellent company! It was a fun night.
