February News!

WEll, I haven't blogged in a while so I thought i'd bring you up to speed on things at the Heer Household:o) We have all been really sick for the last month, one of us will get over it and another ones gets it then it goes back to the first person that got over it......it's terrible, we just keep passing it around!! One day when it was warm, I opened my doors to air out the house thinking that MIGHT help, but it didn't seem to!!!
I have my tonsils taken out on March 17...and I'm very scared about it! I do NOT like having any kind of surgery!!! I'm hoping all goes well, and that I feel better once i'm recovered! I was better for about 2 weeks and my soar throat came back a few days ago, so i'm sure that I will feel better once this is all over with!
We had to take Easton to the Dr. yesterday, he's been REALLY pale, dizzy, headaches, and fever for about 3 days in a row, he kept telling me that he could feel his heartbeat in his eyes, like his eyes were pulsating...........he had felt this way before when the doctor wanted to change his diet a little to see if that helped him feel any better and it did, but then he started feeling this way and it just scares me when he gets sick!! Anyway, the doctor said that he has an ear infection and a sinus infection, so I'm hoping that that's all it is and he gets to feeling better!!! The poor little guy, I just hate it when I don't know what's wrong with him, I can't imagine losing him!!! And that's what I always fear when he feels these strange ways!!! He's on antibiotic now so hopefully he will start feeling better!
Malorie has BasketBall tournaments today and tomorrow, however we aren't going on Sunday, I think it's still to have sports on Sunday(just my opionion) We have to go all the way to Hamilton Indiana today for an ALL day tournament!!! I really can't wait until BasketBall is over!! Jess plays on the Bird Lake Church team every Sat. night so we pretty much sit at Basketball games all day on Sat.
Jess is feeling a litte discouraged about his job lately! He has a great job, I think he's just frusterated with his boss and one co-worker.....I hope and pray that things will get better for him and he'll see what a good job he has!! I'm so thankful that he has this job, he's worked there for 12 yrs, and I hate for him to just throw that away!
Anyway, i've been babbeling on and on..........I need to go back to bed!!

SNOWMAN '09

We decided to go outside and play today, we built our little snowman and made snow angels and then had a snowball fight!!! It felt good to go outside and play for a change:o) This picture is when it was like -20 below zero, we boiled water and took it outside and threw it in the air, and it just turned to vapor cuz it was SO COLD out!! I thought the picture turned out good!

My snow angel

The kids were so proud of their snowman!!!

Me and my honey bunches of Oats!

Sledding

The kids went sledding today for a little while.......they had fun!

I'm also posting some picture of Alex......He sure is getting big! He's so cute!

Friends and Family

Friday night we had RuthAnne and Michael over along with RuthAnne's mom and dad, Beth and Ralph and my parents! We had such a great time, it was just like the old days when RuthAnne and I were little, our parents used to get together all the time, only this time WE WERE adults too!!! Les played a game with Malorie and Easton where he said he was going to hypnotise them, they had to listen closely and follow the directions exactly, anyway at the end of it they ended up with black soot all over their faces, it was so FUNNY!!! They really thought he was going to hypnotise them and they were so excited! We laughed so bad!!! We looked at old pictures and RuthAnne did a few impersonations for all of us!!(which she is VERY GOOD at:o)

She's gonna kill me for this one:o)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Today we had Christmas with both sides of our families! This morning we went out to Jess' parents for lunch and gifts.....Easton and Jess went rabbit huntin and Easton got the shoot for the kill, he was SOOOO EXCITED!!! My Mom and Dad got in from West Virginia around 2 or so, and we opened gifts with them and Beth & Ralph and then had supper! We all had a great time, it's so nice to have my parents here for Christmas! Tonight Jess and I are all alone because my mom and dad were staying at Beth's house and my kids wanted to stay there too! So, we didn't know what to do with ourselves after everyone left:o) Hope you all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! WE DID!!!





Not even sure what to say about this pic:o)
