I had a great Mother's Day! I went to Taylor's school for a Mother's Day party. The kids sang to us, gave us a present and even waited on the Mom's! They served us fruit kabobs, pretzels, mints, blueberry muffin and punch. The teacher read what each child said about there Mom. The child was to finish this sentence "My Mom is the best.........". Taylor said "My Mom is the best tucker inner at nighttime". So sweet to find out what truly is special to a little kid! Now I have a whole new outlook on when I tuck Taylor into bed!

Noah also did something very special for me. He bought me a card and a gift that was $7!!!! That is a huge deal, because he has been saving his money to buy a video game and he already had $20 saved. Noah hates to spend his money, so this was a huge deal for me!!!
I am so thankful that I have two wonderful little kids!!!

Mother's Day

Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

No Vegetable Soup Here

Brenna pretty much has the tapioca pudding recipe down from Grandma Cookie and is now working on the strawberry pie!!! However, she said she refuses to make vegetable soup!!!!

Good Morning

Good Morning Family,

I hope everyone is out enjoying the beautiful weather. We have been very busy getting ready for Alexis' first communion. It was yesterday and it turned out wonderful. The weather was beautiful and we spent the day with some family and friends. Thank you to everyone who did come. It was so nice to see you. Here are some pictures of Alexis.

I hope everyone is doing well. Ashley your pictures were great. I hope everyone feels better soon. Luckily (knock on wood) the only thing that has hit our house is pink eye. But I will take that over puke any day. Megan have fun at the New Kids concert. I can't wait to see if you get any pictures.

I hope everyone has a good week. See you soon.

New news

Just wanted to let everyone know what going on here. All of us but Mike are fighting colds. My throat is killing me. Also, Jayson gets tubes put in his ears on Monday morning. That should be something. I know he'll be ok, but it's still a surgery. Ya know? I've got a clogged pipe upstairs and started a load of laundry...needless to say when the washer "tried" to drain we had a waterfall in our kitchen. Ethan to the rescue!!!! I'm happy that the weather is warming up. It's nice to be outside more....and NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK IN JUNE!!! LOL!!!

Pics are up!!

Hey all!!! Our pictures are up at http://www.justpicturethis.biz if anyone wants to check them out. However, I noticed that they all have a watermark on them so you cannot save them to the computer and send them to Walgreens like I had told Aunt Mic. Sorry!!! If anyone would like any of the pictures, just let me know and I will get them printed for you once I receive the CD from our photographer.

Thank you and enjoy!!! I thought they turned out better than I ever imagined! I love them!!!

Darrenn and I taking advantage of the nice weather we had last weekend. We love having bonfires...and I love smores!!!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Home from our honeymoon...

We are home! We had a great time! The weather was so wonderful! Much better than the weather I hear you guys had!!

We went to a couple theme parks while we were there and stayed with my Aunt Tricia most of the time. We also went to Clearwater Beach and a beach near Daytona. Dustin decided that he didn't need any sunscreen and ended up getting pretty fried! He regretted it afterwards:) Other than that we just relaxed by my aunt's pool and played with the dogs. Nothing too exciting, but it was a nice getaway!

Hope you are all doing good!

Love,

Ashley & Dustin

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Give a shout out to Melissa...shout loud because she is really getting old and may not hear you!!!

Happy Bday sis!

Love your favorite sister,

Amy (surprise, surprise)

HOPPY EASTER

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY "HOPPY EASTER"!

THANK YOU EVERYONE...

Thank you so much to everyone for coming on Saturday and a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who helped with the wedding!! Sink Family...thank you so very much for taping at the wedding. I really appreciate it more than you know. I cannot wait to see the video!

I hope that you all had a great time! Dustin and I had such a great time and we so happy to share this experience with all of you. Thank you everyone for the gifts as well, we appreciate it!!

Also, just wanted to let everyone know that we are now going on a honeymoon:) I don't know why I didn't think of this before...but we are going to go to Florida and stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They are also letting us borrow their car, so the expense should be very minimal so that makes us very happy! We leave Wednesday morning and will be there for a week. It should be a really good time, especially the weather, considering we all woke up to snow this morning!!

Also, I thought I would check with family first, we found a bracelet at the reception. It is black and has small and large black jewels on it and it. Let me know if someone is missing it.

Again, thank you so much to everyone!!!! We love you all!!!!

Ashley & Dustin BALLER:)

New Heckber

Ethan and Sarah have a new baby! Brody Wayne was born Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 8:10 am. He was 7.7lbs and 20.5in. He's a beautiful baby with a full head of hair and dimples like Ethan. Both mom and baby are doing well. They are home. James seems ok with him. Rolan, I think is a little jealous. This makes grandchild number 10 for mom and dad. Congratulations Ethan and Sarah!

Happy Birthday Amy!!

Wish Amy Jo-Jo a Happy Birthday Today!!!

Happy 13th Birthday BRENNA

Brenna will be a teenager tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day, Happy Birthday BooBoo!!!!

We moved again!

Hello Heckber's! How is everyone doing? Hopefully well. I just wanted to let everyone know that we moved. Our lease on the apartment was up so we needed to find somewhere to live. We finally found a house in Imperial Gardens off of Stellhorn. The girls get to stay at the school they were in and we have more room for the kids to run around, and it came with a hot tub. We just moved this last weekend but our phone numbers stayed the same. Talk to everyone soon. Take care.

Thank you to Mom, Dad, Aunt Lori, Kris, Eric, Melissa & Nick for helping us move and get the house ready and helping take care of the kids. We greatly appreciate everything you did for us. Love you all!

Hey Aunt Pam, still waiting to see your latest masterpiece!!!

For those who were not able to make it to my house last weekend, I wanted to share this with you. The poem was written by Kris for Grandma's funeral last year and I hired an artist to draw the hands that match the words of the poem. The needle, thread, ring, cookie cutter and rosary all belong to Grandma and the wheat was from Grandpa Heckber's funeral. I will be making copies for those who have requested, if you want a copy let me know and I will be sure to include your name with the order.
