Grandparents Day by C.Q.



My school hosted Grandparent's Day. The kids read their stories aloud and then Nanie and Papi suprised me and took me out of school early to eat at Fuddruckers instead of the cafeteria!! I'm so glad they came to see me. Now my teacher knows who they are!! The End.

Splendor....

Glitz....Glamour....Giving... was what the 2008 Junior league Charity Ball was all about!! This year we decided to really focus on the giving part. So many of our donors really don't know what we do, they just cut checks to us. Instead of our typical entertainment this year, we invited the Boys & Girls Club, all of whom benefit in some way from the League to perform. Agape, a Christian dance crew of little girls came and danced their hearts out and were so precious. These girls were so precious and so happy and willing to come, I was certain that the League is making a difference. We had some teachers and students who have benefitted from the program, say a few words.
As you can see from the pictures we had an old Hollywood feel to the room. I loved it!!! The Band was fabulous, and once again had everyone on the dance floor. All the hard work this past year finally came to fruition and it was a great feeling!! We had a fabulous leader, who is so good at what she does. I am so proud to call her friend and mentor. Thank you Lizett!! I can only hope that Ball next year will be as sucessful as this years. I'm so thrilled she's gonna be working on my side next year!! Thank you to my friends who have entertained my conversations about Ball and have supported me each step of the way. My family, who has put up with a part time Mommy and wife, sister and daughter, I thank you for babysitting, dress shopping, cheerleading, donating, and loving me, as I persue something I love doing. A zillion Thank Yous!!! The night was fabulous and we accomplished the goals we had set for this year.


P.S. My mom's wreath won!!!!!

Hello Old Friend!!!

Even Mr Hawkins got into the spirit!!





Kendall had her Thanksgiving feast on Friday and we had a great time!! She was so proud of herself that she got to perform for us. She was grinning from ear to ear!!!

What is That???




Is what I want to know!! I opened the garage last night and found this. Apparently Hubby was busy while we girls were in Houston this weekend. I guess Santa came really really early this year.

A Shower and something sweet





Sunday, My Mom and Aunts hosted a wedding shower for my cousin Angelica. The shower was outside and I must say it was perfect. The cool breeze and the soft french music in the background was just so nice. The bride will be keeping her wedding very simple, but since she adores tiffany blue, we just had to have a cake in that color. You like???

Happy Halloween!!!






So we Quicks had a great Halloween. This year we were Sharpay from High School Musical 2 and a Peacock. Don't they look great?? We got to be with Emerson for her first Trick or Treat, and she could not have been any more excited to be a big girl with her cousins. Later we saw Flash the falcon from Caroline's school and we just had to take a picture. Supergirl and Pirate were passing out candy with Flash. Aren't they cute??
