The many faces of Heather







Cool Shoes!


Speaker shoes.




She thinks these are the neatest shoes. She waited two weeks to get these.

100 Post!!

This is my official 100th post!! When I first started, I thought that I would be just messing around. I don't usually stick with this kind of stuff, but look at me... 100 posts.


It has been past due, but this blog is dedicated to Heather. I have not written a lot about Heather because, well, she is not really home very much. She works one full time and one part time job, she goes to school, and she plays hockey (ice hockey). She studies and hangs out with her friends. Well tonight she hung around for a little bit and I thought I would commemorate this with some pictures.. She is going out later, yes with a guy, but just for a soda. Is that what they call it? It's not really a date or anything. Yeah, right. Oh, well. I can't complain and I shouldn't tease her, but it is sooo much fun!! She is a great kid and the little guys love having her around.

Alex, again


When you are bored and are trying to hide from your brother and he takes too long to look for you, this can happen. Its really quite sad.

My sister

My sister, Leslie, has a way of coming into your house and leaving notes that you find much later in unusual places. I was recently going thru a bag of stuff that I have just had lying around and found this.....

My La-La Loves Me Way Too Much!
I told her one day that I would really like a piece of the moon-so she built a spaceship in her backyard and blasted off! She came back with a piece in the shape of a heart.
My La-La loves me way too much
I told her one day I wanted to pet a dino so she built a time machine in her garage and back to the Stone Age and brought back a T-Rex-he ate my mom's car!
My La-La loves me way too much
I told her one day I'd like to have a robot-so she got back in her time machine and Zap! went to the year 3000 and came back with Z-Bot 200, my very own robot butler. He even feeds my dog for me!
My La-La loves me way too much
But that's o.k. I love her that much, too.
One day she told me she wanted 40 kisses and 40 hugs----so I let my T-Rex take care of that.
How cute is that!! She must have written this while ago. I found it in the middle of a small spiral notebook. Just tucked in where Lauren or Alex or Aaron could find it later. It is so very sweet! I can just see it in a children's book with some really great illustrations. I love her!!

The Things I learned About Camping

Mom and I spent Saturday learning how to camp the Girl Scout way. Actually, we learned how to camp, period. I used to camp with my Dad when I was young, like 10 or so and Mom, well she has NEVER been camping. About three years ago, I went camping with Clark, Lauren and Aaron and the Boy Scouts. I decided then that the Hilton was the closest I would ever come to "roughing it". Now that we have the girl scout troop, Mom and I needed to be officially trained in the Girl Scout way of camping if we ever wanted to take the girls camping. We spent the entire day at a Girl Scout camp and really learned a lot. I actually started a fire, well sort of. We learned how to cook over a fire, coals and a propane stove. We learned about knots and what to do if there is a lost camper. We learned fire safety, camp safety, and the various ways to cook. We learned all kinds of things together.

Mom, however, learned something extra that she has taken home with her......CHIGGERS! Yes, that camping fun that just keeps on giving. I am not laughing at her in any way, shape, or form. I think it is amazing that she was willing to do this. I am just so very sad that she got this experience as well.

We came home tired and gross, but it was great fun. Well, more fun for me than Mom....

Special Visitor

Smile, Big!!! Our first Tooth Fairy



We had a special visitor last night. While I was at Girl Scouts, Alex lost a tooth! He was messing with it all day at school and it finally came out yesterday! Daddy had to get the tooth lasso to help with the last bit. Clark said it was sticking out at about a 90 degree angle, so it was soo time. Alex got a crisp one dollar bill under his pillow. Its amazing how fast he got up this morning!




You gotta see this!!

This is unbelievable!!
