HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HEATHER!!!!!

HEATHER IS 33 TODAY! Yes.... I said that right! Happy Birthday, Heather! We are so proud of the woman you became! You are awesome! She is such a gift from God in this family! Heather is my encourager. When I am down she is there to lift me up. She is kind, forgiving, loving and truly a gift from God! She's a good mom and wife and daughter and she touches everyone's lives with joy, love, laughter and happiness! Thank you, God, for this special person you created for not only Your pleasure...but every life she touches!

As a child Heather was funny and always laughing or smiling!

Her teen years were not much different! She has
always had that wonderful sense of humor! Then
she went from child..... to braces.....

She kept our house busy with her joy and friends!

Another stage of her growing up was getting her first car!

Then the day finally came when she had to grow up....
climb out of her comfy bed....

Say bye to her daddy.....

And go off into the world.....

The only ones sad were her dad & I! She wasn't!

The happiest time I ever saw Heath was the day
she married the love of her life..... her Donald!

He is her love, protector, encourager, and the
best friend she has ever had!

And she has become a better person because of him....
a domestic goddess.....

a cheerleader for her coach hubby and athletic boys.....

Oh.... her boys? They are her life! Her reason for living!
And it all started with one..... Parker!

Next thing she knows.... she turns around and has 2!
Patrick and Parker!

Then came 3 boys..... Patrick, Joshua and Patrick....
and she still had more love to give soooo....

That brings us to Heather and her 4 boys!
Patrick, Jared, Heather, Joshua and Parker!
Her love is complete..... and her family!

Most of my pictures of Heather should be with her boys....
they are everything to her..... you can see by the pictures!

Happy Birthday, Heather! Hope you liked "This is your life" shortened!
Love you so much!!!!!!

Well, the weekend is over but it was WONDERFUL! Sunday was nice...... got an extra visitor! Maddie! It was great having her over. Karla kept Dylan home to keep him rested another day before going back to school today. And although he is not contagious anymore.... she thought she would keep him away from Andrew and Lauren and Papa. So.... it was just Maddie!

Andrew made chocolate chip chunk cookies and then Papa made everyones favorite... Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal no bakes! A family favorite Grandma Wave used to make and everyone around here loves. He split them and sent them home with Maddie and Lauren/Andrew for their families. Kept me from eating them! lol! Ryan picked up Sandy and the kids to go to the punkin patch and Maddie and I hung out while Papa watched the Seahawks take a lickin'. Maddie read to me... which was nice... and we played games on facebook. When we were leaving we looked at all these mushrooms. She was shocked. They grew up over night!
Went to QFC to get milk and her soup.... she had a can and I took her home. Driving back I listened to the Sound of Music cd..... I really listened to the orchestra trying to pick out instruments and loved loved loved listening to the music. Just awesome. You should try it sometime. Too cool.

Relaxed at home.... happy and blessed.

Today is also cousin Amy and Jon's anniversary! I want to wish them a wonderful day of love, laughter and happiness!!!! Their pic is on the side!

Hope you have a great day.... especially Heather!
