Mommy, we're pregnant like you!

We laughed so hard when my kids and nephew came out of my moms guest room looking like pregnant mama.:)

Mother's Day emotions....

This Mother's Day is an emotional one ....

The beauty of the outdoors shining through the windows...how God has blessed us mother's with such a beautiful day!

Knowing how hard my husband works for his family and how he would love to be home every day. But instead he is out almost every day 14-17 hour days to get our freedom from debt and show our kids that their dreams will come true. He is our HERO!

My children:
Olivia- such a daddy's girl. She loves to be in charge, yet steps back not wanting to be the first volunteer for anything new or daring.

Sonja- my little mother, kind and giving, yet first to volunteer for anything especially sports related(sounds like mama :) she's my first child that needed stitches :)

Forrest- my eager pastor, loves to learn anything about the Bible. Not into sports or daring things. Very content inside with a book or his super heros.

Barron- my clown, always doing or saying something that makes you chuckle. A hard worker! Spends all day staying by Daddys side and doing farmwork. Anything and everything.

Now there is this little bundle inside of me, Liam. A surprise to mommy and daddy, (all our boys have been surprises) yet such a joy. Knowing this is our last little one and knowing our family is complete brings a warmness to my heart. Liam is a stinker already. But I don't ever want to forget this feeling of him tossing and turning in my belly. Just to remind me "I'm here mommy and I hear your voice".

I have always known that I wanted to be a mommy. But you don't get that true feeling until you have a child of your own. Whether you give birth, adopt, or take in any child. Your motherly heart pops right out and knows what to do.

My children are the love of my life! Even though I am not a perfect mother, I accept those imperfections, and hope through my children's eyes they see the love in my heart more than my mistakes. I want them all to reach for the moon when it comes to their dreams and ambitions. Knowing that Eric and I raised them to be Christian boys and girls with dreams that will be reached, not that they need to be perfect. But to take the path that God has chosen for them, be bold, and take that confidence to conquer the world of their dreams.

I love you my children! Thank you for giving me my Mother's Day every year for the rest of my life!

Birthday Season!

We call it birthday season do to the fact that we have all 4 of my kids birthdays in a 7 weeks. So spring, end of March thru mid-May, is a fun but busy time for all of us.
Usually we have a large one time party for all of them. But this year we are super busy so we made their birthdays as special as we could make them.
They pick where they want to eat dinner, I bake and decorate their bday cakes, each one picks out the family outing for their day, and let's not forget their gift.(this year is a bike for each)
Such a fun time for them and us! As parents, of course we love to see the smiles and hear the squeals of excitement......I love my  Heiss bunch!
Happy Birthday Olivia, Sonja, Forrest, and Barron! You keep my heart filled with love!
