Matt My Love

Once Upon a time...Over seven years ago I became friends with this funny, good looking, sweet talkin guy. After months of him laying it on thick with his charm and smooth lines, I called his bluff, "Why don't you quit sweet talking me and ask me out" (or something like that). My ploy worked and he did just that. To my surprise he had more than just looks and charm, he was an all-around great guy. I was in LIKE. I liked how I felt with this guy, more than any other person I've met.

Little did I know that this guy would be the answer to my prayers, changing my life and the course of it ENTIRELY. The middle of this story is Good there's; romance, comedy, action (with three boys, that's a given), and a fair share of drama. But it's getting late.

I just want to wish You, the most amazing husband I've ever had a Very Happy Anniversary. I feel extremely grateful to be your wife. Thank you for putting up with me and making my life so great (You will never know how much I honestly mean that). I really look forward to the many years I get to spend with you. Thanks for a great day of being with you.

Love Always- Me

Oh ...P.S. You can quit sweet talkin me now, if you wanna make out just ask!!!

P.S.S. Scanner broken, pictures later.

Bye Baby...

Tooth!

Now you see it...

Now you don't.

Brax is on cloud nine! After a year of wanting to lose a tooth, it finally happened. He even confessed his love for the Tooth Fairy. The only fairy my boys will admit to liking.

Please...Help...I've lost it!

Just taking a moment to vent about the loss of hundreds of pictures, just in the past two months. First of all our computer crashed a couple of months ago, me being oh-so-positive (Matt must be rubbing off on me) thought that we would be able to retrieve the thousands of pictures I've taken this year and the thousands of songs I just put on my Ipod. Nope. I must not be living right. It can't get worse than that right!?!

Oh yeah it can! I've been taking pics like it's my job since the loss of computer. My SD card-Full. Today I went to put my recent Thanksgiving and family pics (for Christmas cards) on cd for my mom-inlaw and realize that after my midnight excursion to Walmart (my least favorite place-people out of the woodwork!) last night I left my *#!% SD card in the machine. I HAVE LOST IT - LITERALLY!!! Called...no one turned it in...no one has seen it. So now some dishonest stranger (that hangs out at Walmart in the wee hours of the morning-sketchy) is walking around with my family pics. Not just any family pics, the only ones I have left from this year. So I am asking if anyone has any pictures of my family members, I will love you forever if you could e-mail them to me at linzhick@yahoo.com. And if you see someone with a 1gig sd card full of pictures of yours truly & co., let me know.

PS-Sorry so angry, just covering pure sadness.

I was reading Kelsi's blog today on how fast her little boy is growing up and the regret of maybe doing things wrong and not savoring the time like she wish she would. And it hit home in a big way. I got choked up, I stopped blog stalking, and ran to see what my boys were up to, with plans to show them some love and attention. They had just come in to say they were bored so I sat down and put them both on my lap and gave them a big long squeeze...until Brax quietly said "this is weird". Moment ruined! He's already getting too big. Sad. Word to the wize...savor, savor, savor!

Hickman Halloween

Head of the household- scary thought!

Hulk, and Randy the rodeo clown (that's what he wanted his clown name to be, he says there's a rodeo clown that he knows named that, but so is my sister! Crazy clown). And a group photo of the cutest boys I've ever laid eyes on. They loved Halloween...okay Hulk and Randy did, gorilla-not so much.

Friends and Family

Happy Halloween!

This past weekend my Mom, Sister, Niece, Brother, and Sister-in-law came down to visit. Between (my niece) Bailee and Bo, Hayes got more love than he could handle. But we all had sucha good time together.

I love Halloween and thought it would be fun for us to get in the Halloween spirit by going to Thriller out at Tuacahn. I think it was my fifth time, but my brother and his wife's first time. I obviously like Thriller, it's a great show and the dancing is good, but Darryl Yeager if you are reading my blog I have a few suggestions- First of all Chucky...Must go!!! I cannot stress this enough. Second there should be a warning for those who have good seats, that the mummy's you-know-what is not well hidden. And Last, bring back Children of the Corn and maybe a few other NEW numbers. Thanks Daryl.

I of course forgot my camera and was kicking myself all night long, especially because Matt from SYTYCD was one of the dancers. I totally could have gotten my picture with someone famous. I would have posted it for all to see. Ha. And I didn't even get a pic of my cute little brother and his wife. {Dang you Linzee!}


My sista and her little Bailee


My Mom and Me.

I love my family. Thanks for your love, support, and a good time guys. I am finally really in the Halloween mood with just days to celebrate. Woohoo.

A Bo-ism for Bullies!

A few weeks back Brax started being bullied on the bus, by a fifth grader. It breaks my heart to know that my little (okay, not so little, but smaller than most 5th graders) Kindergartner has been coping by hiding under the seat from this kid. So we had a little family sit down to try and resolve this problem.

Brax's idea: "I'll just tell him to pick on someone his own size!" That is a classic, but not a guarantee

Me: I'll get on that bus grab him by the back of the neck and give him a little taste of his own medicine and see how he likes it! Then I'll call his mom, because I don't know any mom's that would tolerate their kid being a bully. (This was, of course just an idea said quietly to myself).

Matt: Said something nice and rational, but later told him to say "my dad knows where you live"

So here we are talking it over when Bo pipes up and says "Brax just say 'you wanna piece of me...wanna have a finger bending contest?'"

Great advice Bo.
