Ashton Update

Just wanted to let you all know that I did go ahead and take Ashton to the ER last night just to make sure everything was ok. I was pretty sure he was fine he wasn't showing any signs of abnormal behaviors. They did an X-Ray and everything looked good!!!!! We didn't get home until 2:00am but it was worth it. On a side note I sure hope that Obama's health care plan doesn't make us wait that long just to see the doctor. It was rough!!!!

The Biggest Goose Egg Ever!

I consider my kids a pretty rowdy bunch of kids and I think we have been pretty lucky with injuries. But this one I think is a big one. Poor Ashton came in contact with a chair wrestling around and boy did it leave a mark. He has a pretty big forehead anyways then a big goose egg to make it even bigger. He seemed to be doing fine but it makes my head ache. What a tough guy. I just hope it doesn't get any worse. No matter how many time you say stop messing around before someone gets hurt it is always a little late!

Now A Necessity!

A few weeks ago our washer died on us and you don't realize how important it is until you don't have it anymore. We went about two weeks without, deciding on what to do. I have been wanting the latest and greatest but found them rather pricey and never looked into it. After finding a great deal and a $75 SRP rebate we made the investment and I couldn't be happier. I now consider them a life necessity!!!

First Day of Preschool

We are well over due for a new post!!! Mason started preschool (kindergarten prep) a couple weeks ago. He and I both are very excited. We have had a couple adventures but hopefully they won't happen again. Mason got put on the wrong bus coming home and had to sit on the bus until the driver finished his route and then brought Mason home. It was over an hour late. He seemed fine but me not so much. He is only four people!!!!! Anyways he loves it and is doing great.

Heap Reunion 2009

Here is just a taste of what is to come. I am going to have to post in sections because there are tons of pictures and tons of stories. We had our annual Heap Reunion camping in the mountains for 5 days!!!! The kids, epically Mason just loved it. Me on the other hand is really looking forward to next year when I am not pregnant. It was fun but a little rough for me. I would do it again in a heart beat for the kids and when I say kids that includes Colton the biggest one of them all. I just picked a few random pictures to get started.


Ashton and Brinley not yet dirty.


Mason and Preston shooting his bow and arrow. Mason really wanted to shoot it not sure why but I am sure he saw it on a show or something and Colton told him Preston had one and maybe he would bring it to the reunion if he was a good boy. So here they are.


Brinley is going to be a big helper for me when this baby is born. Every time Maya woke up Brinley was all over her and just had to help aunt Denee. Well she thought she was helping.


This face describes Mason the whole trip. Except when we had to let the toad who he named Drake go because he wasn't coming home with us. More to come on that story!


Breakfast of champions doughnuts and OJ.

Bubble Gum

I told the kids the other day if they were good and helped mom out they could each have there own pack of gum. They were so excited and of course Ashton and Brinley practically ate there's in two days but Mason came to me and said "mom look" and he was blowing bubbles. He keeps practicing and is getting better every day. It kinda keeps him busy for awhile too!!!!

It's a......
