I know I said that I was going private...and I am...but not today. When I get back from a getaway with my (much)better half I will find out how to go private and I hope to surprise myself and be better at blogging. Until then here are a few pics of Hayes at one.

Private!

Word on the street is that there are some serious WaCk JoBs out there doing weird things with children's pictures from blogs. And having three of the most beautiful boys in town (not bias at all) I'm not down with that! I'm sad to say, I'm going private. I love that I've been able to find long lost friends and they've found me and that I haven't had to play the private game, but I don't want some weirdo taking my pictures and editing it for their benefit. Matt will be happy if he ever reads our blog and I'll have a little peace of mind. So you know the drill leave me your e-mail addresses or e-mail me at linzhick@yahoo.com.

*If you copy and edit the pic above it's fine, cause you'll never know if either spiderman even belongs to me or if I stole it off some innocent person's blog!

SUmMeR

Summer is officially here. WooHoo!!!

Bring on the sprinklers, pools, slides, tents, friends, bugs,

and definitely Popsicles.

As hard as it's going to be, my goal this summer is to relax and enjoy my kids more and worry about my house and errands less. Because at the rate they're growing, they won't be kids much longer!

Long Time, No Blog!

I know it's been a while. Thank you Kaesy (the one person to read our blog) for that little push to put down the bon bons, get off the couch, and write something wonderful about the gorgeous guys I live with! Life is crazy, but it's not slowing down, so here we go.

What's new?


We've been having some teenager moments! ENOUGH with the ATTITUDE!!!


Bo turned 4 and has learned to ride a two wheeler. Still working on the starting and stopping but in-between is amazing, plus no stitches (knock on wood)!


Hayes has teeth...Big ones!!! And he knows how to use them...unfortunately.


My evilly-perfect husband has again turned one of my little Momma's boys into a Daddy's boy! (How do you do it Hon?)


What's Not so New?


Brax is still growing! (Brax's friend and fellow kindergartner, Addie. Just a little size difference)


Bo is still sucking away at the thumb! Four years and it's still hanging on.


All three of my boys (four counting Matt) just keep getting cuter. Is that humanly possible? (Just a little bias).

And One thing that will never change...I'll always suck at updating my blog!

Easter

I Like Easter and all the good that comes with it. The warmer Season, baby animals, dying Easter eggs, hunts, the good candy and of course the Real meaning! But one thing I'd love to do without at Easter time...

Boiled Eggs!!! Even the smell...GAG! I Can't wait till those stinky suckers are outta my fridge.

Our little Hayes is getting not-so-little all too fast. He is 8 months now! It's weird to think that in 4 months we'll be celebrating his first birthday, but on the other hand I can't remember when we were just a family of four. This guy has a smile on his face most of the time, he laughs, spits, and talks- nonstop. He is very determined, he'll growl, dive, and army crawl to get to what he wants and is not afraid to bite or scratch if you get in his way. We all love him to pieces and have fun watching him grow and get into everything.

Christmas Review

I know I'm behind but wanted to review Christmas time, before it's forgotten. Plus who knows if I'll loose these pictures too.

A week before Christmas it started snowing one night. Along with the snow came excitement, fun, and the Christmas Spirit.

Bo with his snowman (seconds before he fell apart). Brax, Bo, and friends behind their snow fort.
The boys spent their days outside building snowmen and snow forts. It was heaven...for the two days it lasted.

We had a little Christmas party with the Hickman side of our family. We stuffed little animals (not real) for kids in other countries. It was such a great night, all the adults even got into it. Afterwards we roasted marshmallows and drank hot chocolate. We love our cousins.

Had to post this picture, he's so cute!

Saw Santa! Hayes wasn't so sure. Bo asked for injas (ninjas) and Brax asked for a DS (and was willing to bet his dad $100 that he would get it).

Went to Lehi and spent Christmas with My side.

Growing up we Always went to my G & G Peck's house on Christmas Eve to spend it with all of my Mom's family. My Grandma spoils us all and my Grandpa just sits back and enjoys it. Great company and lots of love. We all had a blast hanging out with the fam.

Hayes was lovin his first Christmas. Spoiled!

Spoiled!!

Spoiled!!! Brax got a pellet gun. SCaRy!!!

Went to Grandma Vic's and opened our Christmas Eve jamies with cousin Bai Bai.

Christmas morning woke up to Grandpa Kirkie yelling. Got spoiled even more by Grandma Vic (daughter of Gma Peck - comes by it honestly). I'm so grateful that my parents still take care of each other and can hang out and make it enjoyable for the rest of us despite not being married anymore. Thanks for everything Mom and Dad, we love you both. (Sorry not the best pic. The only one I had.)

We took the long way home so that we could celebrate cousin Bailee's 2nd birthday. My boys loved hanging out with her and her pets and especially the money cake.

Had a great New Year's Eve. Thanks Summer and Nick. And later thanks Grammy and Gpa Oso for letting us have a night out.
