Happy Birthday Beckie!

What can I say about Beckie? We weren't always great friends...who can blame me...? we shared a room, and once the massive amounts of PINK and Strawberry shortcake took over, I was out of there! That was the worse thing I could think ofabout Beckie. :o) She is the type of person you want to have on your side. She is the most caring person I know. She has been there for me and my family many times. I know I will never be able to pay her back for all the kind words and actions she has shown me. She is nonjudgemental, she is kind, she is strong, she is F U N N Y! Not too many know the funny side of Beckie.....but she can make you laugh. Wether it is by her spontaneous dance moves, or a funny comment. I will never forget how Beckie kept her sense of humor even through the chemo. Beckie has always loved to bake. I remember when we lived at home she would make chocolate chip cookies...I love cookie dough, Beckie would only give me a little smidge of the dough. Now, when she makes her absolute best cookies, she saves some dough for me. :o) We have come a long way! She is unselfish, and always keeps others feelings in mind. I always tell her that I will have to try and sneak into heaven with her. She is my best friend...and I am so lucky to be able to call her my sister.

Some pictures from a long time ago!!! Could we look any more opposite?
Me and my sisters.

Check out all the candles!!!
Beckie and Troy...although I am pretty sure she looked this good after she delivered her babies!
I love this picture because at the time I was thinking this was the last time i would go through labor...kid#4, and Beckie was so kind to encourage me by saying..."just enjoy the pain Julie" how thoughtful of her. :o)
Beckie and Jim took me and my sister Cherie to see Brian Regan in concert....we laughed the whole time!

Here is what we have been up to:

Grant had his first baseball game on Saturday. Brett is the coach. It was so much fun to see Grant play. He has been waiting for sooooo long! He did so good too. He didn't even need to the tee. I guess all that time playing Mario super slugger on the Wii really paid off. I look forward to many, many, many, many more baseball games.

Doesn't he look like an awesome pitcher? I know Brett is crossing his fingers. As for me....I don't need that kind of nail biting stress!

Ok, I love this picture. Josh wanted to get out on the field so badly. He picked up a ball and bat and headed straight for the field. Needless to say, most of the game I would have to go pick him up and drag him away each time. Ahhh, good times. :o)

*******HAPPY EASTER******

A few photos of the highly anticipated Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Each kid goes home with a ton o candy and about 10 dollars too!

Josh was so fun to watch as he found eggs. I can't believe my baby is old enough to look for Easter eggs.

Savannah only wanted one egg.

Just kidding! Easter egg hunting is serious business!

Not too many pictures of the kids in the new clothes.....I have almost given up the battle.

Looking so handsome.

Of course it was raining....which explains the umbrella.

******HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY!******


Troy had Thomas the train party! He currently loves Thomas...but is scared to death of train tracks???? Anyway, we had a great time celebrating Troy!

Troy in his new Thomas PJ's from Grandma and Grandpa, & his new "speed" shoes.

I found this tonight as I was preparing my beehive lesson. It is Elder Hollands talk from conference last week, along with a video. It is a very moving reminder to me of what the true meaning of Easter is. Click on link below.

Happy 3rd Birthday Troy! April 8th

Three years ago we welcomed Troy James Heugly to our family. I can't believe he is 3 already. Troy was my smallest baby....I will never forget the first time I saw him and when the doctor put him on my chest. I remember saying..."he's so little." When Grant was born he weighed 9lbs 8 ounces...so a 7 lb 9 oz baby was nothing! Along with the great smile and scrumptious dimples, Troy brings adventure and excitement to our family. We love him so much! Happy Birthday Troy!

Troy loves tools.

One of my favorite photos of Troy.

Check out the dimples!
