Taylor's 9th Grade Pix

Madison's 7th Grade Pix

Hanger in the Fridge :)

Yes this is a hanger in the fridge!! 
  • Who did this?
  • For what reason?
  • Was it fun?
These are 3 frequently asked questions to my little ones, when I find a surprise in my house somewhere.

Anamarie's Kindergarten Pix

Isn't she a sparkly, pretty girl??

Toothless, Dirty, & Crazy, but super cute!!

"Brettso" is quite an interesting little boy. Before my 3 boys, I was a mother to 1 boy for 12 years and developed a very skewed perception of what most little boys are like. I thought all boys were mild tempered, easy going, didn't hit, or bite or spit (yes, that's Brett's favorite new defense). I thought all little boys obeyed and stayed in time-out when they were put there. I really thought all boys loved nap time. Until little Brettso came along and humbled me, and possibly William too. Now a mother of 3 boys and 2 girls, I have learned that children are like colors in a rainbow, each one is completely different, but together we all shine beautifully.

I have been told, that Brettso is daddy's mini-me. Even though Brett is "mister tough guy" he still is one of the most adorable little boys. Anamarie still manages to dress him up any chance she gets; even with pretty flowers in his hair :)


Double Rainbow...All the WAY!!

Yes, it was a "double rainbow across the sky". It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon when it only rained for a few minutes while the sun was shining, making this amazing sight right across our house. Brettso & Anamarie especially loved it. Anamarie's friend Daphney join us in the family picture.

Family Work Out!

This is how the Heiner's do their work outs. Brady does squats with Taylor on his shoulders, and we all arm wrestle to see who is strongest. Watch the video.

Baby William taking his 1st steps

After months of anticipation, William is finally walking at 15 months old. All the other Heiner babies took their first steps between 9 and 10 months old, but William likes to take his time when it comes to EVERYTHING! He's so cute!

Doing my JOB

Brett explains to me everyday..."mom, I need to do my JOB". He goes into my office, sits in my chair and starts rapidly typing on my laptop, while occasionally moving the mouse around. He hasn't figured out the true navigation of the laptop yet, but I give him a few months before he has it mastered and is actually doing his "JOB" :)

Brett's "Bad Cough"

Brett noticed some of William's medicine on the counter this morning and insisted on having some...because of his "bad cough" :) In the past he wasn't too fond of medicine, but after a long winter of continual sickness, he grew to love the taste of cough medicine and pain relievers. This video is a perfect example of his sneaky attempt to get medicine.
