Thanks

Thank you to everyone that prayed for my family during my grandfathers final days. He passed away last Thursday. We were able to go to his visitation and funeral. It was a very nice service and it was nice to see family that I have not seen in awhile. Thank you Newkirk family for your hospitality. We always enjoy staying with you! We really appreciate it.
Just thought I would update a few recent pictures.

Katie talking to Riley at Sam's V-day party. They were just chatting away, or Katie was! Sam at his party. Handsome man!

Katie dumping water on Sam in the tub. She is going to be the little bully I think!

Sam got a package today. A larryboy hat. He finally has super suction ears! He was super excited. We used some birthday money from great grandma Rosie and Grandpa Bob. Of course Katie has to be a part of everything too. She usually doesn't leave anything on her head for long so I took more shots of her.

The whole outfit. It goes great with Sam's larryboy cape!!

Just thought I would add a cute little baby photo. My best friend Marla had her 3rd baby on Wedensday. Ryan Emerson. He is a little cutie. I think he looks a lot like his big brother Josh and big sister Natalie! Congrats Heil family! We love you :)

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Update

Just a quick update from Sam's 4th Birthday Blog when I mentioned my grandpa. My mom was able to get to Missouri on Wednesday. My grandpa was doing ok that day. My dad said he said hello and talked about the weather like he always does. Since then he has quickly gone downhill. Would still appreciate your prayers for him and our family.

This will be my last grandparent (on my side, we still have Mikes grandpa Bob and grandma Rosie with us in Kansas!). I have been so very blessed to have had all 4 of my grandparents in my life up until I was almost 30 years old. It was nice to see my children with most of them for a little while. I hope my children are as lucky as I have been and have their grandparents for just as long.

Just Because :)

Just a few videos of our Baby Girl :) Isn't she just so darn cute?!

Sam's 4th Birthday weekend (yes, I said weekend :)

Sam had a great Birthday weekend. Hard to believe he is 4. I know, I have said that before. We started the Birthday WEEKEND on Thursday. When I asked what he wanted to do for his birthday he said he wanted to have Josh, and Lexi over. And Chloe and Carter. So, that is what we did. We had them over for a playdate/birthday party. We played games, ate lunch and cupcakes and opened gifts. Sam had a scobby theme. He had his Scooby shirt and underware out on his chair for days ready to wear for his birthday party! TO cute.

Here is the gang that came over. Sam, Carter, Chloe, Lexi, Lindsay, Natalie and Joshua.

Here is the Birthday boy with the cupcakes that his momma made for him. They were a hit. The kids had scooby mac n cheese for lunch and fruit. It turned out to be a great party.

This is him with one of his gifts. We made a puppet later on after everyone left! He has since taken it apart so many times an eye and ear are missing but it was a good time!

We made pizza Thursday night. Here is him eating the cheese more then putting it on the pizza! Friday Sam and I went to Rising Star Open Gym. We had not been there for awhile. IT was a lot of fun. He really liked the pit with foam squares and jumping around. I forgot to take my camera in with me.

Friday night we went out to eat to Culvers and he got a free ice cream sundae for his birthday. His sister liked it about as much as he did. She is so my Grandma Schweigert (everyone that knew her knows what I mean there :)

Saturday we had Nana, G-Bob, Memaw and Papa over to celebrate (which was his actual birthday and Valentines Day!

Momma likes this pictures. He is just so sweet. I have to say he is a polite little guy. I told him to thank his grandparents after he opened gifts. He went to each one and hugged them and thanked them. Then he hugged his sister, me and Dadoe and thanked us and told me he loved me. I cried a few tears. I just love him so much.

Sunday we just went to church and came home and played with all our toys. It was a fun filled weekend had by all. Thanks to everyone for the gifts and well wishes! Here he is playing with one of his many cool toys. THis and his leapster games are his favorites by grandparents and his favorite from mommy and dadoe....

Hulk hands that roar and make all kinds of noise! He is showing how he can be mean like the hulk!

And you have to get the sister in at least one picture. She put these on today all by herself. :)

I will probably update again soon with some more pictures of the kids and maybe even more from his birthday. Our battery went out before cake on Saturday so I am hoping Memaw or Nana have a few cute ones to share!

Oh, and anyone that is visiting please add my Grandpa Proffer to your prayers. He got very sick earlier this month and now they are saying he only has a few days to live. Pray that my mom gets to see him before he passes (she is home sick right now with that horrible stomach flu) and that he goes peacefully and finds my Grandma Proffer in Heaven. I love you Grandpa.

Thank you,
Michelle
