Happy Birthday Heidi!!!!!!!

Today, August 23 2008, is my darling oldest daughter Heidi Rene's Birthday!!! To learn more about the wonderful, loving person she is go here, don't worry I'll wait. Isn't she wonderful? Heidi has one of the most incredible imaginations of anyone I have ever known. As a child she was never bored. As long as she had a loose thread, a scrap of paper, a squished paper cup or any other piece of any old thing she would be happy. In her mind the scrap of paper was the beautiful Princess, the loose thread was her Prince and the squished cup would be the Prince's steed and then magically transform into their happily ever after Castle.


Heidi amazed me quite often with how creative and imaginative she was.

She still is today.

She always has the best ideas and the most creative ideas on how to do things. She has created some of the best Halloween costumes for her two daughters Abbey and Lindsay.(My two oldest grand daughters.) She is also quite well known for the amazing birthday parties she throws for the girls every year. She is fun to be around and she always has us in stitches.

Today is the Big THREE Oh for her. She isn't exactly thrilled about this milestone, well more exactly she isn't quite sure if she is happy or distressed about it. Although knowing Heidi, she will turn being thirty into an art form.

I love you Heidi!! You have added so many interesting dimensions to my life and brought me so much JOY that I thank the Lord for giving me the privilege of being your mother.

Thank you momma. I love the tribute. It made me a little misty, I must say. :) That note made me smile. Lindsay has made an almost identical one.

Happy birthday Heidi. She sounds so great she should have her own blog so we can get to know her better!

Happy Birthday Heidi. Love the tooth fairy note. So sweet. Glad you had a chance to lay beside your sweet granddaughter. I about lost it when I heard she smiled. I know that has lessened. Take care family.

Happy birthday Heidi!! I ALMOST didn't get this comment in while it was still your birthday, but I think you'd be okay if I was late...

After all, seeing those wedding pictures reminded me of how you were late to your own wedding ! :) :) :)

We Love You!!

Happy birthday Heidi, even if at one time, I was terrified of you and thought you hated me ;)

If you call being left at the hair dressers in Kennewick, with no car, no one comming to pick you up, and your wedding is in Pasco, being late for your own wedding, then ya, I'm guilty. :) Jeff loves to hear that story. Did I mention I had to scale my parents roof to break into the second story window to get my veil? Ya, I had my nails done that day too. Oh, and it was an icy roof in December. Ahhh, memories.


p.s. Thanks for all of the birthday salutations.

What a nice post! Very cute photos, too! I didn't realize your daughter married a Decoursey! Also, after reading the comment Heidi left, I'd LOVE to hear about her wedding day! It sounds very exciting (in retrospect!) Thank you for your nice comment about little Joseph. My prayers are with Don & Lisa and little Elisabeth. My heart goes out to them. What a very difficult trial. But I am firm in my belief that miracles do happen through the priesthood. She is such a beautiful little spirit. I hope that this new diet is the solution!

Happy belated birthday Heidi. It seems like FOREVER since I've seen you guys and i don't think that I have ever met your girls. Hope you had a great day.

I agree with Jeanette. Heidi should get a blog.

Love all the old 1970's pics. I think everyone's family room had the exact same tint and hue back then! Happy Birthday heidi!
