AJ's 6th Birthday (a little late on my blog)

 AJ's birthday started with a Blizzard from DQ for lunch then

a LEGO cake for supper.

AJ told me, it was the "best birthday ever this year." Mission accomplished.

Father's Day

 was epic this year because 1) Cosette & I crafted a present and

2) Dwight is smiling for a picture. It really is the little things.

Happy 6th Birthday AJ

 The day you were born was a gift from God. We love you Anthony Jacob Hein.

Happy Birthday AJ!

For our 13th wedding anniversary,

Gregg and I decided to head to Jake's Steakhouse. We brought Adriane as our guest, because 1) She's Adriane which means she's awesome. 2) She makes us look cooler and younger. :) 3) We love her company.

Enough Said.

Grace's 18th Birthday Dinner Party

For Grace's 18th birthday, she asked if she could have some of her best friends over for fancy Runza's & Strawberry Spinach Salad. So last night, we had a party. It was lovely (if I do say so myself). At one point, Grace stood up and gave a speech (which she had written a few nights before). She made everyone 1) Cry 2) Cry some more and 3) very proud that she is an amazing and thoughtful member of our family. We love you Grace.

 NEVER underestimate the power of a Hastings Gift Card that has a mustache on it. It was put to good use by EVERYONE.

 More mustaches with each other's hair. Don't ask, I didn't.

 Friends forever.

 One very tall Gregg, one beautiful Grace & one short DeAnn :)

Happy 18th Birthday Grace

and counting.

 Happy Anniversary Gregg. I love you.
