David was able to celebrate his Abuelita’s birthday and have a small family reunion while in Central Florida this week for the opening of the American Idol Experience. Abuelita’s birthday was February 12th. Everyone met at David’s hotel room where he was staying. They had a GREAT time and David spent most of the night talking, laughing and just being silly with his cousins. David also serenaded his Abuelita with Happy Birthday!! I’m sure that made her day and his. The reunion was short but sweet. Unfortunately Mama Lupe and aunt Martha couldn’t make the reunion, but they were there in spirit even though they were miles away!!

Thank you M.E. for sending AFS these photos – it is wonderful to see David being able to have time to enjoy being with his family. I am sure his grandmother was so happy – what a great birthday gift for her to be able to spend time with so many of her grandchildren.
I love the second photo — David is there with his favorites: what looks like his MacBook , charging iPhone, bottle of hand sanitizer, and Abuelita!

Hi Vanessa,
Mirta sent me those pics about 3:00 am Florida time (i think). I thought she was just sharing them with me so I wasn’t going to post them without permission plus I was waiting to get the pics from you. I told Mirta that and she said,”No! M.E. wanted me to send these to Fan Scene!” so I figured she sent them for you (I don’t know how you and M.E. are related) since I hadn’t heard back and you said “next time I get on the computer,” so I wasn’t certain about your situation. Anyhooo, sorry about the confusion. I’d love to post your pictures up here as well if you still want (you said they were in a different location?) Well, please let me know!
Thanks!
Todd

ARCHIEFANDOC, THAT’S THE FIRST THING I NOTICED TOO!! OH HE IS JUST TOO MUCH!!
China80(Quote)
China80 – I wonder how many bottle of hand sanitizer received in gift bags? I know that I gave him some too!
Silly of me – but tickled pink to see that he has the exact same MacBook as mine.
ArchieFanDoc(Quote)
ARCHIEFANDOC, HE PROBABLY HAS ENOUGH HAND SANITIZER TO OPEN UP A STORE AND MAKE A PROFIT!!! HA HA!!
China80(Quote)
LOL China — the name of the store: :
Archuleta’s – You Can – Touch My Hand – Hand Sanatizers – Works For Me.

David’s grandmother must be an amazing person to have so many of her grandchildren there to celebrate her birthday. What a sweet family.

M.E. – Our effort doesn’t feel like work at all. It is always a pleasure and joy to support David and his family. So happy to be a part of this wonderful fan site that Todd and his crew work so hard at. I’m sure they feel as I do, that it’s not work but something we want to do and feel called to do. We have your back here with no strings attached. It’s in gratitude that we support David – we feel as if we receive so much more than we give back. It’s our privilege that we’re here and here we’ll stay!

Cheryl, I’m having problems with the site too.
It displays fine in IE but the whole page is like 200 pixels wide and runs down the center of the page in Fire Fox. I checked other websites and they appear fine so I don’t know what’s going on. I called Orlando last night and he says it looks fine in both browsers on his computer.

Hola!!!! I arrived late to this party but it is never to late to wish Happy Birthday to “Abuelita”…..”Feliz cumpleaños Abuelita de David! le deseo todo lo mejor del mundo; que Dios los bendiga, a usted, a David y a toda la familia”.
Thanks so much for the pictures! it is always wonderful to see David spending time with his beautiful family. God bless you all.
Todd, the page has been working great for me and I use Firefox.

Thanks Todd…Grandma Lupe told me about your site and wanted me to leave a comment for you. =) I’m going to print out the pictures and give them to her on Sunday. I see her at church every Sunday. She is such a sweet lady. My daughters of age 11 and 8 LOVE David and are his #1 fans. It’s a blessing to know Grandma Lupe and feel so close to David. BTW: if you have more pictures, please email them to me directly and I can personally give them to her. Abuelita Lupe wants me to say “thank you” for everything that you do for David….
