Alex is equally as amazing, and we have really grown to love him as well!!

Jesus and the SuperBowl!? 8:45am
http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=29748Posted on Jan 28, 2009 by Art Stricklin & Joni B. HanniganTAMPA, Fla. (BP)--The Pittsburgh Steelers, playing in their seventh Super Bowl on Sunday, will go for an unparalleled sixth NFL title.If the Steelers defeat the Arizona Cardinals, strong safety Troy Polamalu will have a stake in that achievement, yet he has a perspective that transcends any title game.While he may be known as a silent killer for his soft voice and hard hits on Pittsburgh's top-rated defense, there was nothing quiet about Polamalu's witness for Jesus Christ during the annual media day prior to the Super Bowl."I feel like faith is the foundation of everything I do on the field and off," said Polamalu, a former USC star now in his sixth year in the NFL."It determines how you live your life when you love God."Polamalu was one of numerous Steelers players on the field at Raymond James Stadium Jan. 27 who voiced their faith in Jesus Christ to an array of reporters who have descended on Tampa, Fla., for one of the world's most prominent sporting events.Polamalu said he is glad for the opportunities the Super Bowl provides for players to share their faith. "[Arizona quarterback] Kurt [Warner] has a platform to share just like every athlete and he is using it," Polamalu noted.Pittsburgh punter Daniel Sepulveda added, "Every time I hear Kurt Warner talking about his faith, I'm saying, 'Yeah, give it to them.' It inspires me to hear guys like that who are willing to share. The joy of the Lord is on them. He's not on my team here, but we're on the same team all the time."Running back Mewelde Moore, like other Christians on the Steelers squad, said God is "No. 1 in my entire life. That's the way I've always looked at it."Moore, who rushed for 588 yards this year with five touchdowns, said God "has blessed me with this ability and this chance to play football since I was a senior in high school. I want to give God the glory this week, not man."Moore added, "It can change people's life when you have an understanding to give it all to God." Moore also noted he finds strength "from other Christians and from hearing other people share His name."Sepulveda was wearing his Black and Gold Pittsburgh uniform on Tuesday but won't be on the playing field Sunday, having been lost for the year due to a knee injury in pre-season drills.While the injury was painful, both physically and emotionally, Sepulveda said it gave him a chance to share his faith during the worst of times personally amid the best of times for his team. "It's more important to share your faith when things are not going good than when they are," the former Baylor University All-American said.Defensive end Aaron Smith said he relies on his faith and prayers to God, along with a men's ministry book, "The Sampson Syndrome," as his 5-year-old son Elijah battles leukemia."My prayers are thanking the Lord for every minute I get to raise him," Smith said.Defensive end Nick Eason said Steelers coaches have worked hard to get the team ready for a new set of plays and defensive schemes against the high-flying Cardinals, but he already has his main playbook memorized."John 3:16," Eason said when a reporter asked him for his most important key to the game. "'For God so loved the world.' The Super Bowl is only temporary, only a part of my life. I don't know what will happen in the game. I don't know how long I will play, but I know He will always be there," Eason said.Among other Steelers interviewed on media day:-- Heath Miller, who ended his rookie season in 2006 as a starting tight end for the Steeler' Super Bowl championship team, told Baptist Press he grew up going to church with his parents and as he matured realized the "importance of having God" in his life and "how big and how grand of a figure that He is."Not all young people grow up embracing their parents' faith, Miller admitted, but he credited their steady influence and the power of the Spirit in leading him as a youngster to accept Christ and then continue to develop a deeper appreciation for his faith."Certainly as I grow older, I appreciate the effect that my parents had," Miller said. "Maybe when I was younger, I was too immature to realize the effect that they had on me. [W]hen you look back, when you're in the same situation, you're like, 'Oh, that's why they did it or 'They handled that really well at the time.' They're definitely inspirations to my life....""I'm still developing," said Miller, a member of Sword's Creek Community Baptist Church in Virginia; "I'm still growing and learning and still trying to become a better person."Miller said fellowship with other Christians on the Steelers squad is an inspiration but stopped short of naming any individuals because, he said, "there are so many people you can learn from.... All these people -- sometimes it's surreal to me -- definitely have opportunities to reach out and to hopefully touch other people's lives."With the Super Bowl taking place in Florida, Miller said quarterback Tim Tebow, the University of Florida's Heisman Trophy winner and fellow believer, is "certainly an inspiration to me ... his audacity to speak out and the firmness in his beliefs.... And at the same time, you know, I think everyone is different and everyone gets their point across in different ways.... He inspires people and he's not afraid to go out and do it."-- Cornerback Anthony Madison told Baptist Press his faith "makes all the difference in the world.""Let me tell you, God is so good. He has blessed me beyond my imagination. I personally would have never thought that I would be here at this time, considering the things that I have been through in this game," Madison said."If there's one thing that I've learned," Madison said, "is that you have to stay focused, especially in this league, because there are so many temptations, there are so many things thrown your way, and if you don't keep your focus on the Lord, you can find yourself in some situations that you feel like you cannot recover from."Being focused, Madison added, is not as easy as it sounds. "I'm 27 years old. There's women that throw themselves at you," he said. "There's alcohol at your disposal. There's all these things just right there at your fingertips and you can easily get caught up in that."Madison said he tries to "do right by the Lord" and is inspired by his relationships with his fiancé and his older twin sisters who challenge him and hold him accountable for how he lives."They tell me straight, they keep me straight, they're just good people, and I would never, ever cross them -- I don't care how much of an NFL player I am," Madison said. "We just consider ourselves just people who love God."Madison, a graduate of the University of Alabama, also commented on Tebow, describing the Gator signal-caller as "amazing, absolutely amazing."Noting that Alabama played Florida in the SEC championship game, Madison recounted, "I was thinking, 'OK, I want us to win because I'm an Alabama fan; we need to win this game, bottom line. But if we were to lose for some way, I'd want it to be a guy like Tebow.' The guy's literally taken the platform he has and he's using it to glorify God. You have to respect that...."-- Patrick Bailey, a rookie linebacker from Duke University who was active at The Summit (Southern Baptist) Church in Durham, N.C., said last year he sustained an injury that caused him to believe he would never be able to play again."The Lord has blessed my life," Bailey told Baptist Press, recounting, "I was on crutches, I couldn't even move, but here I'm on the world's biggest stage."Bailey, who said he attends the team's chapel services and goes to church when he can, noted that his teammates respect each other for their views. Recounting a conversation sparked when he was reading from the Book of Romans and a teammate was reading from the Old Testament about King David, Bailey said it was "a great little time to just converse in that stuff."--30--Art Sticklin is a Dallas-based sports correspondent for Baptist Press.

Christmas

2009-01-08T14:52:00.003-07:00

Christmas was a blast this year! We had so much fun, I just can't believe it's over! Christmas eve my parents came over and we had a christmas eve dinner, made cookies for Santa, which reminds me, I need to get those cookie cutters back to my sister, and watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas, I also read the kids a christmas story, they opened up their pj's, and then went to bed, with visions of sugar plumbs dancing in their little heads.

Christmas morning Mike and Mckay woke up at 7:00 and went upstairs and woke up Hunter and Chris, and then waited until 7:30 to wake us up, but I heard them before they came into wake us up, cause I couldn't wait, I was so excited! Then we went downstairs to open presents, Mckinzie got a Guitar, Clothes, shoes, perfume, and makeup. Mckay got a new cel phone, cologn, Halo figurines, coat, skateboard, clothes, and new church shoes. Lauren got clothes, shoes, a new cel phone, a digital camera, and printer. Mike got roller blades, a Jordan coat that justin bought in Chicago, a football, clothes, a sleigh and an Ipod. Chris got clothes, shoes, a football, a bunch of Mini guys, a skateboard, and a sleigh. Hunter got clothes, a green and black football, shoes, Mini guys, a skateboard, a Jordan coat from Chicago and a sleigh. Justin got Steelers slippers, golf bag, jacket, hat. and a game called swashbuckled signed by the man who invented the game, his brothers and dad liked it so much they had us buy them one after christmas. I got a Juicy hat and scarf, and a sweater from Chicago, and a bunch of clothes, perfume, and bedding.

Then when we went to grandma Heugly's house she gave the little boys each their own Duffle bag red/black (team colors) a football, basketball, a red water bottle, and a shirt. Mckay got a Trip to Sun Valley and some drafting paper. Mckinzie and Lauren got Pj's and a sleepover at grandma's with their friends, and a 15.00 gift card for I-tunes & Mckay got that too. Justin got 300.00 from his dad, a framed pic. of the Chicago trip, a Polo shirt, a Steelers Pancho. I got a Cool red bag and a shopping spree with the girls and Sue. (I can't wait) last year it was so much fun!! We loved everything. Sue, also made us all dinner, and it was delicious!!

We went to my mom's house for a christmas party, we acted out the nativity, while my dad read the story from the scriptures. Then Samuel (my nephew Oakley) stood on the wall and we threw things at him. it was funny cause non of them hit him. And then he threw them back! We got lots of things, but the thing that meant the very most was a book about the Child family, which is my mom's maiden name, I haven't been able to stop reading it, it shows how our family was in France, and then England, and then to the United states, and it tells their story, it is awesome!

Then for New Years eve we threw a party at our house, Joe's family, Ethan's Family and Mark and Sue came. We had a blast, we ate, and ate, and ate, we watched a movie, and played rockband. When the New Year Came, we lit fireworks, and Yelled and screamed, it was a ton of fun!!

Needless to say we had a great Christmas. We are so grateful for everything we have been blessed with, and it has been so much fun to be able to give to those people who needed our help this year. We haven't been able to do that very much in the past, and it was truly a blessing for us to have the opportunity. That is what it's all about!

Christmas Fun!!

Isa- Adventures!!

2008-12-17T22:54:00.002-07:00

In Nov. I was able to attend an event for Isagenix called Beyond Courage. It was an amazing experience! I learned alot! I also learned to appreciate everything in my life, and to not be afraid to Live my life to the fullest!! I spent about 6 days in san diego, Kim Olson and I shared our own cabin, and were able to spend some time with our Isagenix Family, I love all the people in Isagenix, they are some of the neatest people I've ever met in my life, Kim is alot of fun to hang around with, as you can see, when we were on the beach she was trying to get her camera back from me. I was trying to delete an ugly pic. of me... I was out there on my birthday...I thought it was going to be sad to spend my birthday out of town, but Justin did something very special for me...the night before my birthday I had just got back from a long hard day, and on the deck of our Cabin were two bags, full of presents...I could not believe it!! He found the number of the place we were staying and had them make me some gift bags. It was the nicest thing, I just sat on the bed and cried, it meant so much to me. I shared what he did for me the next day with everyone, and they thought that was awesome, it is definately a great example of how to treat your wife! I am very lucky to have Justin for a Husband, he is such a sweet person. I did miss him and the fam. on my birthday, but they made it special, the day I got home, Mckinzie had made a cake, and they had decorated the house and made me special cards, It was a birthday I'll never forget! Also, when I got out of the shower on the morning of my birthday, Kim had put balloons all over the room and put a cute present on the stove. It was so sweet, and My Isa- Family sang me Happy birthday twice, once at breakfast and once in the big group.It was cool.

Lauren is in the Womens Choir, they sang three songs: sleigh ride, Mr. Santa, and Nativity Carol, it was beautiful!! I curled her hair and it looked so cool, it looked like ribbons. She looked and sounded beautiful. Her friend "who's a boy", Dylan came to watch and support her, he is a very nice boy, he's definately a gentlemen. It was also my mom's b-day, so we went out to eat after, we went to iceburg, it's connected to a gas station, so I told my mom she could pick out any treat she wanted for her b-day, so she got a nut roll. I also made my dad get one so he wouldn't eat hers... we had alot of fun!

Michaels Chourus performance was awesome too!! it was an hour long because they had so many songs, they have been practicing very hard, they also made a cd with some of the songs on it for the parents. Mr. Bottita (our Tutor) is the one who is the director and puts it all together each year, Lauren was also in his choir in elementary school. He is very good at what he does and they did an amazing job! After the concert, we stayed and visited with him, he was teasing all the kids, he only has one daughter, and he loves our fam. & We love him too!

Halloween

2008-11-05T22:53:00.003-07:00

We had a blast on halloween! First we had the parade at the school, and then all the kids friends came over to our house to hang. Then the little boys went trick or treating in my mom's neighborhood. Mckay & Mckinzie went with their friend Taylor trunk or treating in Alpine cause Taylor's mom said they would get big candy bars, but I think they ended up a little disapointed! Then I took all the older kids and all their friends to my mom's house to say hey...she was giving out pencils so Laurens boyfriend (dressed as a nerd) was like "cool, I'll just add it to my collection!" and put it in his front pocket! lol Then I dropped lauren and all her friends off at a party. and then dropped mckinzie off to finish trick or treating with Taylor and mckay, who then showed us how full their bags were, in just a short amount of time, we were like "wow, how did you get this much candy", and they said, "well there were two houses in a row where no one was home and they had a bowl of candy out on their porch saying take one", hmmm...let's see...teenage boys (take one) = Take ALL!! lol Then I came home and waited for the little boys who had trick or treated in three neighborhoods including ours, and finally came home with their cousins and friends to count their candy and eat the delicious chili that Justin had made, I have to say, I think it was his best yet!! Yum! Then I went to pick up lauren from her party, and it's a good thing too, as we were leaving a police car was pulling in! They must have been a little too loud! That Lauren, she's such a trouble maker! lol Ok, now I'll tell you what the kids were, I'll start with the oldest, Mckinzie was sleeping beauty, dressed in her pj's, we curled her hair and she wore a crown and sparkles in her hair, she was beautiful! I remember mckay and Taylor telling me what they were, but I can't remember what they said, oh well, at least "they" knew!lol
Lauren and her boyfriend Dylan were nerds, you can't see it in the pics. but lauren also had toilet paper stuck to her shoe, they looked so cute! Mike, was a confused sportsman he was all sports combined, Chris was a football fan and Hunter was a Caveman football player, sox was a hot dog!! Justin was the Joker, and it "was" a joke because he only wore his costume for about ten seconds, and we couldn't get a picture that fast! I dressed like I did at Rachelle's party... Anyway, it was a great halloween!

First Day At Highschool!!

2008-08-31T14:11:00.002-06:00

I can't believe my little twin babies are sophmores in High school!! I guess they are not that little anymore, Mckay is taller than both of us. who would have thought that, because at birth they only weighed 3'11 and 3'13!! It's so weird, Me and Justin met when I was 15, and now my kids are that age, ok I am still a little freaked out about it! They ride to school with Mckay's friend Taylor who's a Jr. He's a really good kid. I think they are adjusting to High school, Mckinzie is in audition womens acapella choir, she has a beautiful voice, and is also enjoying her photography class. Mckay is enjoying his art class, right now he's working on something that is absolutely amazing! The teacher told them to draw leaves, and I am just blown away at the intricate detail and at all of the extra things he throws in that makes it so interesting to look at. He definately has a gift. We are so proud of both Mckinzie and Mckay, for the people they are becoming and for who they already are. They are both very excited to be in High School!!

First Day Back to Junior High

2008-08-31T14:07:00.002-06:00

Lauren is now in 8th grade. She is the captain of her cheer squad, the neat thing about this is that she is voted on by her squad, they vote for their own captain, and they chose Lauren, she gets along with everyone. We are very proud of her. She is now all by herself in Jr. High, she will miss Mckinzie and Mckay. I had her pose with her only Sis. on the first day. I think she is glad to be back in school with all her friends.

First day Back to Elementry

2008-08-31T13:57:00.002-06:00

Easton is Hunters age and Dylan is Mike's age, they are in the same class this year. They enjoyed the Summer, but they are glad to be back in school.

Football has Just Begun!

2008-07-23T11:15:00.002-06:00

Chris, Michael, and for the first time Hunter have been going to football camp, and have been having a blast getting ready for football! They just got their new football uniforms, Chris was #30 last year and is now #30 again! Hunter got #36! Michael got #7 ("like Ben Roethlisberger" Mike says) And what is even more cool is that one of the coaches told Mike they possibly would use him as quarterback this year! Go Mike! We are all really excited for football season to start, and are looking forward to all the fun games!

The football haircut

2008-07-23T11:05:00.002-06:00

Chris and Hunter saw Michael's buzz for football and decided to get their hair cut too! They were scared for what it would turn out like, but in the end it looked great, and Now... They are READY for a whole new year of football fun!

The Parade

2008-07-23T10:45:00.003-06:00

Lauren (cheer) Chris, Mike, and Hunter (Hip-hop dance class) Were all in the parade this year!! It was so cool having four of our kids in the parade! They all had so much fun!

What can I say, we had a blast at this concert! I can't believe how loud everyone was! But not me, I was just sitting reverently in my seat :) Just ask my girls, who are now deaf because of all the "other" people!! It was so cool to see how David Archuleta reacted to the crowd, he was really emotional, and expressed his love for all of us. We stood up the entire time he and David Cook sang, It was awesome!! Our family is split as usual in who our favorite Idol is...this is how it goes Girls: David Archuleta Boys: David Cook, except me who is a little of both. We were able to see them after the concert and got all of their autographs on our shirts, shoes, pinewood derby car, poster, pictures, Laurens shorts and her cel phone signed by David Archuleta, she was so excited, and thinks she might have a chance with him!! "What? He's only four years older, Hello!!" I got a t-shirt of David cook for Justin and had him sign it, since he went to scout camp this week with mckay, and missed it, he will love it, I can't wait to give it to him!!! Also, Me, Lauren and Mckinzie got to touch David archuleta's hand!!! We will never wash them again... It was something we will never forget.

Happy Fathers day!

2008-06-16T10:45:00.003-06:00

I don't think I've ever seen Justin so happy, as he was with his new Porche. He was grinning from ear to ear! He has always wanted a Boxter, and it was really fun to be able to get it for him. He loves it so much, he never wants to stop driving it. We went for a drive up the canyon sun. night, it was so much fun! We love to take drives, but this was different than ever before, we could see the stars, smell the trees, and feel the cool air, it was awesome!! I love you Justin, Happy fathers day! -Cindy

Lauren's 13thB-day Party!!!

2008-06-16T09:22:00.005-06:00

Lauren had her birthday party with all her friends on Saturday June 14. When everyone first got there they played the candy bar game, it was a lot of fun. Second we went out side and hit pinata, the girls all went first but couldn't get it down and then Luke (aka laurens friend who is a boy:D) hit it down. (We had a #1 & #3 pinata for 13) Dakota (aka laurens old friend who is a boy) hit down the # 3. They then played dodge ball out side on the tramp and had a lot of fun. Then they all went inside to play the skittles game, it was fun but people kept having to spit out their skittles(gross!) I decided we will never play that game again! Then she opened her presents, lauren ended up with $140 (WOW!) and some really cute clothes! Then they had pizza and cake. They had alot of fun!

Mckinzie helped me with the whole party. Thank you so much Mckinzie, I couldn't have done it without you, I also would not be able to figure out this blog without her. Mckinzie, your awesome!!

Happy Birthday/ Fathers day

Happy Birthday Justin & Lauren

2008-06-12T10:27:00.002-06:00

Today Is Justin's 38th birthday.

Justin, I hope you have a great birthday! I love you so much. I'm so glad I get to spend my life with you. You are the best husband and dad, anyone could ever ask for. My life was complete, the day we met, and I can't even imagine my life without you. You are definately my soul mate. We were "mfeo" (made for each other:) Thank you for always being there for me, and for loving me the way you do. I am so grateful for that. I am so glad you are able to be home with the fam. and that we are able to enjoy our family while they are young. That was my goal with Isagenix, to be able to have you retire early, but I want you to know I could have never done it without you, and your support. You have always helped so much, it takes alot to run a household, and I could never do it without all your hard work. You may not have a "JOB" anymore, but I have been so impressed with how much time and effort you spend helping the kids with everything from football, baseball, basketball, cheer, homework, missionary prep., driving. And helping me with everything from Laundry, Driving kids here and there, grocery shopping etc.. sometimes I wonder if there's anything left for me to do except watch an old movie, and eat bon bon's!! I know you do it all because you love us, and It has been so great to see that sparkle in your eye, that tells me that you are loving the freedom and enjoying your life with your family! I love to see that. It makes everything worth it!! Now I just want to spoil you, because that's exacly what you deserve. I can't wait for you to get your present!! I love you, Cindy

Lauren,

I can't believe my baby girl is 13, you need to stop getting older now! Lauren I love you so much and I am so proud of the beautiful, spiritual, kind, funny, and loving young lady that you are becoming. I hear compliment after compliment about how kind, and compassionate, and nice you are. From people judging by your beauty, expect you to be the opposite, and are always pleasantly surprised. I am so impressed with the good choices that you are making, with your testimony and with the example that you set for all who know you. I am so happy with your choice of friends, and am blown away at your wisdom, and strength. You are such an angel. I love you with all of my heart. I can't wait for your b-day party. Love, Mom

Chris's Play: The Frog Prince

2008-06-12T09:46:00.004-06:00

Christopher played the frog prince in his class play, and he was the best frog prince in the world! He said his lines very loud, and slow enough for everyone to understand, he did a great job, and smiled the whole time, except when he was suppose to act mad :) the frog princess was two heads taller than him. He was so cute!

Mother's day

2008-06-12T09:26:00.002-06:00

Mother's day, was a little unusual this year. We took a trip to Manti, and Buried Sneaker on my parents property. We had a special burial, and each remembered things we loved about sneaker, and had a prayer.

Then we went to the Manti temple, which is very familiar to all of us, since that's where we were sealed as a forever family, and the kids rolled down the hill as usual. We had a lot of fun. It is a mother's day I will never forget!

Mckinzie & Mckay's B-day Party

2008-06-12T09:06:00.002-06:00

It's been a while since I've blogged, so I have a lot to catch up on. First, the twins had a birthday party, they had a blast! They went to the mall for a scavenger hunt, each team had a list of things they had to take pictures of, then we ate there and then brought them all home for Pizza, cake, and games. They each invited 6 of their friends, and they ended up playing night games until 10 or 11 at night. Now that their 15 they're just excited to get their learners permit...(scary) We love you Mckinzie and Mckay!

Happy 13th Birthday Lauren. Lauren is an amazing young lady. She just finished 7th grade with a 3. 6 gpa (yaaaaa!). She is also starting 8th grade cheer for American Fork Junior High. She is so amazing at tumbling and stunts. Some of the stuff she does is pretty scary. I just turn my head and pray. She is very beautiful and has many friends girls and BOYS(NOOOOO). I just tell her "boy friends" that I have a shovel, and I know how to use it. She's only 13, STAY AWAY FOR A FEW MORE YEARS.

Lauren you will always be my little baby girl.

Happy Birthday

Love Dad

2008-05-23T11:29:00.002-06:00

I would just like to say I was becoming an addict
of blogging. My name is Justin Heugly and it's been two weeks since my last posting. I am in control of my life. Now for what you have missed with us. There has been many baseball games. G-ma and G-pa Heugly and G-ma Nooner came when Chris hit a monster hit into the outfield his first then watched as Mike hit his first home run. This year has been so fun to coach my boys. I can honestly say its more nerve racking than when I played. Wanting your kids to succeed and do well is such a rush. I gave up two Laker-Jazz games to go watch my boys play. Totally worth it.

Mckay and Mckinzie are done with Junior High. They will be Sophomores next year at American Fork High. They also will be getting a learners permit to drive soon. They are both really good kids. I couldn't have picked anyone better to be the oldest and set the good examples for our family. They had a combined 15th b-day party this year. Lots of boys and girls, they had a lot of fun.

Lauren completed 7th grade this year. She had a 3.5 gpa and above for all four terms. Not to mention she spends a lot of her time with cheer. She has soooo many friends and has soooo much fun. My hat goes off to her. She has found a good balance in her life. She now will spend the summer preparing for 8th grade cheer.

Michael finished the fourth grade. He got straight A's the whole year. With the football basketball baseball and everything else that was huge. He is the leader for every team he is on. For football he played quarterback, full back and linebacker, not to mention every special team. He didn,t sit out one play this year. Basketball he was point guard, he led his team with 14 pts a game. Now it's baseball and he's the starting pitcher and leads the team in hits. He has more hits than the other 10 kids combined. Way to go Mike.

Little Chris, He played all three sports this year also. In football he's one of the smallest kids on the team but the one with the biggest attitude. He's not afraid to tackle anyone. He plays corner back. I coached his basketball team this year and he was my best player. I think he averaged 15 pts a game. I now coach him in baseball. He is the greatest kid to coach. He is always smiling. He plays second base. He is the golden glove of the team. Anything hit to him is an out. Funny thing about chris is that had been born 12 days later he'd still be on Hunters team. So he is the youngest kid out there. He plays on Mikes team and without him our team would be struggling.
He is also one of the leads in the school play this year. Where do we find the time. He just finished the third grade

Hunter just finished first grade. Being the baby of so many kids he is definitely well known. Everybody knows Hunter. This is his third year in baseball and he is amazing. They hit off the machine in this league and he hits it every time. He plays pitch, short, second, LF, and First. He is such a joy to the whole family. He can't wait to play tackle football this year.

Thanks to Cindy for giving me the gift of time with my family. It has been a tremendous blessing. The family will be stronger and closer. It's been so much fun staying home.

Love Justin/Dad

Happy Mothers Day

2008-05-10T22:46:00.003-06:00

Second, my wonderful Mom. She has always showed me unconditional love. Through my rough times and through my good times, I could always count on her. You do SO much for the family. I truly thank you for taking good care of and loving Dad. What an example of what a MOM a Grandma, and a Wife should be. Love you Mom

Third, my wonderful Grandmas. I have been blessed to have both of you in my life. With a few years under your belts, there comes much wisdom. I've enjoyed all the wisdom and time you have shared with me.

Love Justin

Sneaker "Angel" Heugly

2008-05-04T18:43:00.018-06:00

Our "Angel" sneaker's last days we'll never forget. She put up a good fight to stay alive, but her body was too weak. "The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak." Your family loves you sneaker, and we will never forget your sweet little spirit. You served your mission well. You taught us to love unconditionally, and you taught us compassion. Our family has never been closer than we are now, all because of you. Thank you. You have reminded us of the importance of life and to never take each other for granted, to stay close to our Heavenly Father, and to live each day as if it were our last. Because you never know when it may be. We love you! You will always be with us. You are our sweet little angel.

Love, Mom

Happy 15th Birthday Mckinzie and Mckay! We can't believe our baby twins are growing up so fast. We love you!

Do It Anyway

2008-05-03T13:14:00.003-06:00

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

Be honest anyway

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It never was between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa

Good bye Sneaker we love you so much

2008-05-01T22:20:00.003-06:00

You brought a new love to our family that will never be forgotten. You watched over our family while you were here. Please continue to watch over us from Heaven.

Love
Dad

There shouldn't be a care in the world, when you are surrounded by family.

Update on Sneaker

2008-04-21T13:28:00.004-06:00

For those of you who may not know, we boarded our dogs while we went on our vacation for spring break, on the morning we went to pick them up, they had let all the dogs out to play, and the person in charge said she only turned her back for about five minutes, sneaker had been attacked by all the dogs (they say that if one dog starts it, they all join in) they had to give her mouth to mouth to revive her.

Tues. night the doctor didn't think she would make it through the night, she needed surgery to remove some dead skin, but her levels were not good enough, and the doc said she could die if we put her under, we visited that night, justin gave her a blessing. and it was all justin could do to drag me out, It was so hard leaving her knowing that might be the last time we saw her alive. The next morning, wed. her levels had improved enough to perform surgery, so he was able to remove some dead skin, (if they don't remove it, it becomes toxic to the body, and it poisons them),and they cleaned her wounds, they looked alot better after that. thurs morning I called to see how she was doing and they said she hadn't eaten the night before or that morning,(they have an IV in but they still need her to eat) I rushed down to see if I could get her to eat My mom and dad met me there and my dad gave her a blessing, and then he was watching me with her, and thought I probably needed a blessing also, which was true, so he gave me one too. sneaker has a hard time even moving, but right after the blessing she got up and put her little paws on grandpa, and gave him love, she also reached her little head up over his shoulder and gave me a little kiss for the first time since the accident. I was so grateful for that, because it made me feel like she had forgiven me for not being there to save her from all of those dogs attacking her. after my parents left I was holding her, and offered her some of her dry dog food the kind we have at home, she slowly started eating it from my hand and she ended up eating about four small handfulls, until the doctor came to get her. Sneaker's potassium levels are high and they are tryng to get them down. Her liver levels, have gone from 1200 to 700 and her kidney levels have improved as well. Her red blood cel count was way low so the doctor came to get her to give her a blood transfusion, I was worried that she might not accept the blood, because it wasn't a perfect match, but she did accept it, I was so happy about that. The transfusion lasted for about six hours yesterday, lauren and I went to see her last night, she seemed tired but more responsive, she even growled at the doctor, and that's a good sign, that she's back to her old self. Also, after her transfusion one of the nurses little boy was eating a hot dog, and sneaker really wanted it, the little boy gave her a little, and then the doctor said, if she's eating it, give it to her, and then they went and got her about three slices of lunch meat to eat, and she did. Then they decided to mix in some meat with her dog food, and she wouldn't touch it, because it had been contaminated with dog food! Last night was the first night I felt ok to leave her, I knew she needed to rest, and I felt she would be ok through the night. I havent heard from them this morning, I will be calling and going to see her today, and let you all know. Thank you so much for all of your prayers on her behalf. I know she has felt them, and so have I. She is not just a dog, she is my baby girl!! Please continue to keep her in your prayers, because her battle to live has just begun, it will be a long process, but I just want her to get well enough to bring her home.

On Monday April 14th, we got to go on a family trip to bluff. We saw indian ruins, had navajo tacos, played games, slept in, went to fun sights and places. It was a bunch of fun to be there and spend time with our family. We can't wait for the next time we are able to do this again.
