Wow.....its been a long time!!!

It really has been a long time since i have updated my blog.....BUT i have a good legit excuse!!! As some of you may already know... my little Family has been living with my mother since October due to finacial stress. While we are FINALLY getting aead...it looks like we could be living here for a couple months more. We are eternally Greatful for my mother and all that shehas done for us!!! of course sometimes it might not seem to her that we are thankful....we truely are. One day I hope that i can repay her for all of her sacrifices shehas given up for us. We wouldnt be nowhere if it wasnt for her!! We love you mom!!

As for the reasoning behind not updating the blog? well, we have to use moms computerwhile er are here....and i would feel guilty for uploading all my photos on it and taking up her memory :0) (was that good enough???)

or....heres another one.... Its because I dont know my blog address by heart and had it bookmarked on my computer. So when i wanted to log in today.....itwas TOUGH to find a way to find my addy!!!

hahah.....ok enough excuses i guess....i will try harder to update for those who really care. We are finally getting on top ofeverything and this new year is looking promising!! cant wait to seewhats in store for my little family!!!

We love you all and wish you the merriest of Christmas'!!!!!

The Heaps Family!!

Hospitals are NO fun!!!!

Just a few photos of Logan to show
you just how much fun he is having in
the Hospital......NOT!!!
He was so mad at the world when he
had to get that darn IV in his head!!
Who wouldnt be!!
On the bright side of things....
he has Gained 10 oz!!!!!!

UGH I hate that Mandi and her family
have to be put through all of this!!!
I wish there was more i could do to help
out!!! She is so strong though!!
We love you Mandi!!!

Baby Logan

Just wanted to take a minute on this special
Sabbath Day to express my love for Little
Logan and his family. They have really
been through alot these last few months
with him being sick and all....and never
once did i see Mandi's faith in our lord
Dwindle. She has been so strong through
all of this...alot stronger than i ever
could have been!!
Today we fasted in hopes that Logan,
his family and his Doctors can
find some answers to why he is so sick.
We are all crossing our fingers
and praying our hearts out....having complete
faith in Heavenly Father that some answers
might be found soon!!!
Thank you to all who fasted with us
and have kept Logan in their prayers!!!
He is such a special little spirit...
God has some great things in store
for this little peanut!!!

“For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name. And whoso shall ask it in my name in faith, they shall cast out devils; they shall heal the sick; they shall cause the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak, and the lame to walk. . . . but without faith shall not anything be shown forth except desolations upon Babylon . . .” (D&C 35: 9, 11)
