It feels like this was FOREVER ago!

Today is Tuesday, Aug 11. I can't believe it is already August! Oh my...

Well school starts on Tues, Aug 25th. I can't believe that I have a 3rd grader! Lynnsey is excited.

Emily is silly as ever.. her hair looks like a mullet right now! She is too cute!

I am hoping that Beauti Control will take off for me soon! I need to make extra money!

Adam starts his school Sep 28, a day before his bday! He will be 33... lol! I can't believe that I am almost 30... blah!

Statia and Makenzie are staying with us this week... YEAH! They are all

playing so well together.

I am so thankful my baby girl is HOME to stay!

Oh, I missed her!

Tonight was much easier. It only took Emily about 10 minutes to go to sleep. She only REALLY cried for about 5 minutes. She knew what it meant when I sat her in her bed. She immediately got mad and started crying... so she knows it means bedtime!

Lynnsey is going to Sea World tomorrow... I hope she has SUPER fun!

Adam was accepted into the Paul Mitchell school today! YEAH! He starts in late September! He will do FABULOUS!

Today is July 21st. Can you believe it?

Last night, I put Emily in her bed at 9pm. She cried for 21 minutes and then she went to sleep for the entire night! It was so hard, I had to call Adam's mom... I said help me...!

Lynnsey is at her Grammy and Grampy's for the week. She is going to Sea World and to a water park... she will have a BLAST!

She comes home on July 28th! YEAH!!!! I miss her SO much!

Success

So... I did it. Last night I rocked Emily for over 20 minutes and she just cried and she wanted to play... I kept saying NO, it is night time. She wanted to play with the dog, she wanted to play with my face...

So... she had a clean diaper, she had a full tummy, she had everything she needed to go to bed... So I put her in her bed and let her cry it out!

It took 17 minutes. Then she was asleep... It was magic!

It was hard!

My big girl, Lynnsey! She is at Grammy's until Tuesday, and then she is HOME! YEAH!!!! I miss her! She is having fuN!

Do you know that BREAST CANCER affects 1 in 8 of women? Make sure you take care of yourself... Don't be the 1 in 8!

July 15th!

I miss both my babies!

Well, my Spa party was a success...Thank you to the ladies that attended!

Emily has not been sleeping for my inlaws... poor Memaw!

I miss both my babies!

TUESDAY... I WISH IT WAS SATURDAY!

Well, tonight is my SPA party! I am excited. This is the first time for me in my new house! FABULOUS!

Jul 13

Well, life without kids...

Hmmm... We have had no children for 1 day. It is strange... I surrounded myself with children.... I took Kody to the mall... hung out at the water park with Kayce and Matthew... and KK! Then Frances, came over with her 2 kids... What can I say...?

Overall, we had a Fabulous weekend! YEAH!

Lynnsey

These are some pictures of Lynnsey having a great time at her dad's...

She looks like she is having a BLAST!

Check out this FABULOUS picture of Kayce...

This is one I took at his baseball game. The

ball is MID-air!

July 10th!

My little sister Kenadie is 2 ! Her birthday party is tomorrow in SanAntonio... That is what we will be doing tomorrow! She is having a BARNEY party... Remember... the big purple dinosaur!


Today is July 10th... Emily slept ALL night again last night... YEAH!





My inlaws are taking Emily for 1 week... that means Adam and I will have NO kids for 1 week. I am not sure we will know what to do... We will enjoy peace and each other... I am sure... but no crying or "MOMMY, DADDY!"





I think we are going to take 1 day off and just spend it with each other... I think we may drive to Fredricksburg to get some fresh peaches... or float the river...

Daddy had the goods last night!!!

He got Emily to sleep before 10pm... and she slept ALL night!

AMEN!

He took her night light out of her room, and he turned off her lullaby music! Who knew that was it???

Thank you ADAM!

HAPPY "8TH" BIRTHDAY LYNNSEY!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

These are pictures from yesterday... Lynnsey is 8 today! These are from New Jersey... she is at the shore... She is with her 2 sisters and her little bro!

I need help... moms and dads...

Emily is 1 yr old. She has been sleeping through out the night for a long time now. Recently, past 3 weeks, she is waking up EVERY night.

I need help... Yes, she is teething, I have tried Orajel, Tylenol, Motrin... and she is still waking up.

Does anyone know how to help me get her to sleep and keep my sanity???

Lynnsey... she is SO pretty!

BEAUTIFUL!

I miss my Lynnsey! She has only been gone 5 days today... :( Tomorrow she is 8! Can you believe 8 years have gone by? It is hard to believe... I MISS HER!

Today, July 7th!

So... today is July 7th. Can you believe Lynnsey will be 8 in two days? It is SO hard to believe how fast it has gone...
Emily is still not sleeping well, it is killin me... she is teething! It is sad, orajel seems to only help for a minute, Motrin and Tylenol don't necessarily help, just make her BLAH!!!
I am very tired today... Adam and I have been working out...
I have been concentrating on Cardio, and he has been doing weights... MAN thing! I like going to the YMCA, because it is SO family oriented! It makes it fun.

Family

So... these are some pictures that I took recently... One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of my family... There is something about black and white that I LOVE!

LYNNSEY.....

Let's see... Lynnsey will be 8 in July.. on the 9th. She starts 3rd grade in Aug. She will attend Double File Trail Elementary.. that is RRISD.

She had an early birthday party. We rented a water slide from John Boucher at church.. and she had a blast. There were about 12 kiddo's at our house... and 4 girls spent the night... I think that was the BEST birthday present EVER!

She is at Adam's parents for this week... Then she will go to New Jersey and Florida for July... She gets to spend time with her dad and his family! She is excited... She loves to fly too...

June 2009

Check her out on her new DORA toy... She loves to get on and off... on and off... on and off... and she can scoot backwards!

This is Emily... not sure why the pic was so blurry, but I like it!

COWGIRL EMILY

Can you believe that it is already June?

Emily turned 1, on June 17th.... Can you believe that it has been a year???

She had a party on June 20th... It was so much fun! We had about 30 people in our home... and she had a blast!

This is her princess #1 crown that her MEMAW bought for her!

We moved from Pflugerville to Roundrock! It is only 10 minute differnce. I am closer to work... I am somewhat worried that Lynnsey will change schools, but she is excited!

Our new home is a 1 story... YEAH! NO STAIRS!!! It is only 5 minutes from church! That is great!

Emily turned 1, on June 17th.... Can you believe that it has been a year???

EASTER came and went!

Well, here are my sweet babies! They were so happy to play in the flowers! Emily tried to eat them!!! Lynnsey ran and played until she saw a BEE... then it was all over...! :) I hope you enjoy these pictures like we do!

So.. Palm sunday weekend, we went to Granbury to my grandparents house. It was great. We had a great day at the farm on Saturday and celebrated Easter on Sunday with the family at Lori and Jeff's house!

Then, this past weekend, we drove to Saratoga... to Adam's parents. We celebrated Easter with them this weekend. More pics of that to follow. Overall, we had a great time and traveling was good, just long trips take a toll... I was so tired.

OK... PAMPERED CHEF time.... I had my first party! Kaye was the host. As far as I am concerned, it was a sucess. I learned alot and have finally set up a website so people can order off line! www.pamperedchef.biz/ericaheckler Enjoy and Shop all you want... it is awesome!

April 2nd, 2009

Well today is April 2nd. I was steady at work today. EAsy and worthwhile...

I finished the 4th book to the TWILIGHT series last night. I am relieved. It truly consumed me... I am glad that I can focus on my "REAL" life now.

I am now a "PAMPERED CHEF" and a "BEAUTICONTROL" consultant. This is going to be a challenge but well worth it! Who doesn't like to eat and be beautiful?

OK... so my big accomplishment... I have lost 20 pounds. I am so excited. I have been working my hardest and getting up and going to the gym 3 days a week. I am so happy with my progress and I am going to continue until I reach my goal!

Emily and Lynnsey are doing wonderful. We are celebrating Easter this weekend with my family in Granbury,TX. Then, next weekend, we are celebrating with Adam's family in Saratoga,TX. We are busy for the next couple weekends.

Anyone interested in a 5K? We are having a GET FIT 5K at Cedar Park Regional Medical Center on Sat, the 4th. Starts at 8am. It is $5 for kiddos and $10 for adults... Come and walk or run. I am totally walking....

This is all that I have for today!

Yard Sale

Today started fairly early... Adam and I got up and about 630ish. We got all of our yard sale things out and... BOY was it cold. I think it was 40 degrees and the wind chill factor was worse than that. We had the sale until 3pm. We sold everything with the exception of one tupperware box. We are taking that to the SHAREFEST at the church.
I made enough to pay for the kit to start BEAUTI-CONTROL! Yeah...

Well, my inlaws have been here and today we went to SEARS grand. It was awesome.. We got $300 worth of clothes and shoes for $130. How awesome is that. THank goodness for grandparents that will clothe your children. Oh my how it helps.

We were sucessful and didn't fight ALL day.. So, I would say today was a wonderful day.

Now.. I am relaxed and about to lay in bed and start reading "ECLIPSE."

Mar 27

Well today is Mar 27th... Friday is here at last!!!

Last night I went to a spa party!!! It was great. My hands are so soft and so are my FEET!!! YEAH! My face is so smooth... it is heavenly...

SO I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL BEAUTI CONTROL! YES BEAUTI CONTROL!!! I will be FABULOUS every day! I will let you know when I am all fired up and roaring to go!

AND, I have decided to sell Pampered Chef too! I am gonna be a money making machine! :)

This morning I came into work and had flowers and a card on my desk. A patients mother had left me a thank you card and roses thanking me for taking care of her baby. Oh my, it is a wonderful feeling and makes your job worthwhile~! So.. I am staring at some pretty peach roses and baby's breath! It is breathtaking!

And, I am very in love with my husband... and I love my baby girls so much!! Today has proven to be a wonderful day and a reminder of how thankful I am of our healthy family and our great life together.. Thanks to the father above!!!

This afternoon!

This afternoon is dragging... it is cold and rainy outside. Just a gloomy day! I wish I didn't have to be here at work, but I will get over it.
My friend Susan is having a SPA party tonight, and I can't wait to relax..... with the mint smell!
But before that I am taking Lynnsey to tumbling. I think that Thursdays are becoming her favorites. Today, she went to the rodeo on a field trip.

I have decided to have a yard sale on Saturday morning. I am cleaning out my house and my garage! I need to SPRING clean... get it ALL gone! Adam is exctied for this... He wants all the crap out of the garage... :) That is "HIS" territory.

I am grateful that my inlaws are here, they can help with the kiddo's while I try to make some mula!! Whatever we can't get rid of... we are going to donate to our church. We are having a Sharefest.. we donate and give away everything free of charge to the community! It will be wonderful! I have ALOT of baby stuff!! And maternity!

Here is Emily Kaye... check out her bottom 2 teeth. Now she has 4 on top!!!



This is my Hannah Montana look alike!



Emily "eating" the bubbles!! YUMMY!




One of my favorite past times with Lynnsey!
She loved this horse. His name was Rebel!

Ahh... Right before her 1st school dance. She is so pretty and I am worried. We will keep the GUN loaded!

Mar 26

So, today I feel great humility. I said something I should have never said, and I hurt someone's feelings. The saddest thing is that this person was not mad and didn't fight. They just told me that they were hurt. I think I have learned a wonderful lesson in a horrible way.

This morning was hard for me. I snoozed the alarm about 4 times, then I finally got up at 5. I only had 30 minutes to get to the gym in time for spin class. I got there late, and I was just gonna do the eliptical or figure something out. But, the front desk manager said, "SPIN?" I said No, I am late... He said, "you are 3 minutes late. I am signing you up!"

So, with that I made it to spin and had a great workout. 886 calories in 50 minutes!! YEAH!

My inlaws came in last night, they are helping us with Emily. She has been sick AGAIN!
We are gonna have to meet with an ENT dr to talk about getting tubes put in her ears. I know that a million are done every day all over... but we are talking about my little baby.!!

I have decided YES... definately to Pampered Chef, and maybe to Beauticontrol! I just love SILPADA SOOOOOOO much!

OOPS, EMILY went to the DR today... Sorry.

TODAY!

Well, Adam took Lynnsey to the DR today. She has bilateral ear infections and she has puss pockets on her throat. She gave Adam a prescription for her. The DR game him a $40 off coupon for the antibiotic, so that has me a little worried.
Hmmm....

The Heckler Family!!

THE HECKLER FAMILY, Lynnsey, Adam, Emily, and Erica

MY FIRST BLOG

SO... This is my first blog. Anyone interested???

I have decided to try something new. I am debating whether I should or should not sell Pampered Chef. I am also thinking of SILPADA. The only thing is, Silpada is Kaye's thing. I would feel bad taking parties from her or her people... :( Pampered Chef is already WELL known. Advice... Anyone???

So, I have 2 children and a husband.

Emily is 9 months

Lynnsey is 7.

Adam is a little older... :)

I am totally trying to figure out these pics.. If I move, they stretch and look ridiculous.

So, here is the FIRST blog!
