Dinner with the girl cousins and Aunt Lori

Last night all us girl cousins and Aunt Lori got together for dinner. Kris and Cassandra were unable to come, but the rest of us were there. We had a really good time chatting about anything and everything. Grace and Jayson also joined us!!! Grace is the most sweet, adorable baby!!! (Jayson too!!!) We plan to do this the last Wednesday of each month at 6:00 pm at Hall's in Quimby Village. All Aunts are more than welcome to come and hang with us!!! It truly is special to remain close with family. Love to all my Heckber girls!!!

Corrected Birthday Greetings

I gave credit of the birthday wished to Holly and I was mistaken, it was actually Melissa who sent the birthday greetings to Eric and Myself. Thanks Melissa....sorry to have misread the posting person.

Emails

Ashley, I sent your Mom and Dad an email. I can send it again if they need me to. I have also sent Bryce and Ross an email inviting them to the blog. They have not responded yet. So if anyone has better luck let me know I will invite them again. I think the email says the sender is "Holly". They know that I am doing this because I have sent them both a separate email from me telling them. Let me know if I need to invite anyone else.

Thank you Holly for the Birthday wishes. Recovery from my elbow and wrist surgery has taken longer than "I" expected, but my Orthopedic surgeon and Physical Therapist said I am right on schedule. I did not think it was going to take 3 months to recover, but after 4 1/2 weeks I understand now what the were saying all along. I go back to work on Thursday so I am sure using it more often it can only help....at least that is what I am hoping for.

Happy Birthday!!

Everybody wish Aunt Lori and Eric a Happy Birthday!! Hope you both have a great day. By the way, how is your recovery going Aunt Lori, we haven't heard much from you lately?

P.S. - Does anyone have Karol, Uncle Gene, Bryce, Ross or Clay's e-mails?

How was everyone's weekend?

We had a wedding to go to on Saturday night. Steve's niece got married. Emily was the flower girl. She did a great job. All the kids had a great time at the reception. Emily did her part to help with cleanup. She picked up all the hershey kisses that were left on the table and put them in her flower girl basket. She was very happy when they told her she could bring it home. I made two sheet cakes for the wedding. They had the main cake which I did not do, then in the last week or two they decided that was not going to be enough so asked if I could make some. It was nothing fancy so I am not posting a picture. Jacob was out dancing and fell hit the concrete floor and busted his lip open. The ring bearers dad was right next to the dance floor so got there quickly. Unfortunately he had blood all over his shirt from Jacob. Alexis was in her own world dancing and singing. Brandon stayed close to Steve and I. He would dance for awhile then come back to the table with us.

All in all it was a good time. What did everyone else do?

information

Melissa has a great idea---I could use an update on information for my adress book and especially e-mails. So come on family and give with your stats. I am sure we could all use updates. Thanks.

Broken wrist update

I am recovering nicely after the most horrific day of my life, this past Thursday. The surgery went well. I was put to sleep and woke up fully clothed...not sure how I was dressed. I was hoping Mom was the one that assisted me, but she said I was already in my clothes when she came back to the recovery area...hmm, that's scary! Anyway, it was all good until I got home and my arm/wrist started to lose the numbness. I cried like a baby on and off for about 6 hours. Darrenn, my boyfriend, got to experience a new side of me he never wants to see again! I was demanding Oxycontin from my Doctor at 9:00PM. When he wouldn't give it to me, I started to cry and politely thanked him and hung up on him! I took way too many pain meds that night, but it got me through the pain and I didn't have to get my stomach pumped!!!! It is now Monday and I'm doing much better. It's sore, but I no longer am taking my pain medications, so it's definitely tolerable.
I have learned my lesson after all this...turning 30 is painful, physically and emotionally. I accept that I'm officially old!!!

Need Info

I thought along with the picture cd's I would compile a stat's sheet on all of us. There have been times when I would have liked to have known someones birthday, anniversary, or something like that. If you would pass that information along to me I would like to get it all together. And for those that do not blog, if you are in their family and know all the stat's please add them.

1. Full name of each family member including maiden names of spouses
2. Birth date
3. Anniversary
4. Address
5. E-mail
6. Phone and/or cell numbers

If you think there is other info I missed, let me know. E-mail me at ksink@fwi.com

Broken wrist update

Just wanted to let you all know Amy ended up having to have surgery on her wrist. She went in Thursday morning and from what I hear, was in quite a bit of pain last night. Maybe mom can fill us in better on the details. Hope you are feeling better today Amy if you are able to get on the blog.

Couple more pictures of Grace...

Just wanted to give you guys a couple more pictures of Grace so you can actually see what she looks like now:) I think she looks a lot like Amber right now!!

Grace Jeniece Jordan...

She is here!!! She was born last night at 5:50. She is 7lb 8oz 19 inches long. Amber ended up stalling at 9cm and so they decided to have a C-section. She was feeling a little sick and of course sore last night, but her and Grace are both doing good! I only have one picture, more to come later:)

Status update on Amber...

I thought I would write a quick note to let you all know how Amber is doing. She is currently at the hospital and the labor process has began!!!! :) Her contractions are about a minute and half apart and she is dialated 4 or 5 centimeters. She should be receiving her spinal tap any time now.

So...hopefully there will be a new baby today!!!

Amber won't have the time to post any updates, so I will try and do that for you guys, and if she gives me the okay I will post pictures too:) I don't want to take away her glory!! So, she may leave you guys in suspense, haha:)

Hello

Just a quick hi to everyone. I'm not sure how often I'll keep up with this, but I told Holly I'd try! Congrats to Ashley and Dustin. And now for those of you who are wondering, 'Just what is Rayna, aka "Devil Child" up to now? Well, my dad came over after school today, and she brought out her Barbie Throne Chair. She changed into a dress and proceeded to demand that everyone stand and bow to the princess! It was so funny b/c she was sooooo serious about it! More later...

Pictures Anyone?

As some of you already know, I took on the task of getting all the old pictures everyone had onto cd's. I have had them scanned for some time now but lack the motivation to actually get it all finished. Now that summer is coming to an end I will make myself get it done!! If anyone out there has any albums or loose pictures they would like added to this project, let me know. I would be more than happy to add them to the one's I already have scanned.

Public Service Announcement!!

Would you give this kid a driver's license?? This week Cody will be getting his. Fair warning to all those on the road!!

HOW WAS EVERYBODY'S WEEK-END? WE SPENT IT AT OSSIAN DAYS----WORKING THE PORK CHOP DINNER ON THURSDAY AND SETTING UP A BOOTH FOR THE BRIDGES AND ALSO WITH BKM.

LUV, MIC

Final wrap-up from the Heckber Olympics

Here we are back once again with our final update on the Heckber Olympics. Our first picture includes team members Kirby Sink, Kyle Sink, Larry Heckber and Cody Heckber. This group is what we call our "Special Olympics" team, they really did not possess any talents worthy of any of the events, however we needed to classify them into some sort of category, thus, the appropriate title of "Special". Next we have fellow Olympian Noah Robbins. Noah was over- qualified for the "Special Olympics" team, however, may be demoted next year, judging by his form on the "Lily Pad" event. Finally we have Miss Taylor Robbins. Taylor also competed in the "Lily Pad" event managing to score high only for being so darn cute.

We all had a great day at Pine Lake, as you can see we finally made Dad rest for a change. Until next year, that's all from our "Special Olympics"!!

Guess this weeks injured Heckber!!

Can you guess this broken wrist? The above mentioned wishes to be kept anonymous. So don't worry Amy I won't tell anyone it is you!!

Hello

Well I guess it's my turn to say hello to everyone! HELLO!! They boys are doing great. Jayson was baptized this past Saturday. Curt and my sister-in-law, Stephanie are his new godparents. Rayna said they were getting "god married".

Congrats to Ashley on your engagement! Congrats to Jason and Angie on their little one. I'm so glad to hear things are going well. I can't wait to hear from Amber and Scott!

Here are a couple pics of the boys now.
