February 27, 2008 Who is in the box???
TALIA! She thought it was great fun to hide in one of my moms fabric boxes. She just happened to choose the one with PINK fabric and tucked herself in with Milo's blanket! I love that kid!

While I was with my parents Talia had a fascination with my dads boots. She found them and put them on all by herself on a few occasions. Well Talia those are some pretty big shoes to fill!

(February 19, 2009) At the age of 101 my grandma, Ruth Nielson passed away. (she also had 101 great grandchildren...pretty cool!) I went to LaVerkin, UT for the funeral and stayed with my parents at my Grandma's house. Here are a few pictures that remind me of my Grandma...
Her house...I never knew her to live anywhere else. I remember visiting every summer. As kids we loved to sleep on a flat part of the roof and watch the fireworks on 4th of July.
The house on the hill had a wonderful view of the small city
Grandma loved to work in the garden and always had cute decorations in her yard.
Grandma was patriotic and very opinionated and it showed in small ways like her signed picture of Ronald Regan.
Other things I remember are the ceramics that she made, her music box collection, and her love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

For Valentines I made heart shaped pizza and everyone enjoyed it. Although it tasted good to everyone, Gavin wasn't too impressed when I excitedly showed him the pizza I so carefully shaped. I said "Look it's a heart!" and Gavin said "sort of." While Preston was cutting the pizza he had to make heart related jokes like "which ventricle would you like?" He is such a silly. Even Milo got a little taste...and yes that is a girl bib on him, I am just too cheap to buy him a boy bib.
My Valentine!
The boys getting in a little valentine male bonding the Hickman way...WRESTLING!

Talia has a new skill...putting socks on. She is so proud when she gets them on. The only problem is that she gets so frustrated when she can't put her Talia sized socks on. She Loves to be like her wonderful daddy! And (above) How the heck??? I could never fall asleep like that! Talia climbs in and out of the jumper all by herself...that is unless she gets stuck.
(February 7, 2009) My little man is 6 months old and cuter than ever! He is an extremely proficient crawler because he has been crawling for a month now. He smiles and laughs all the time and Talia and Milo love to play. Now that Milo moves pretty fast Talia gets such an excited thrill when he chases her. Sometimes they just giggle and giggle together. I am sure the fighting will come but right now I love the innocence in there sibling relationship. 
On Friday I had my sister in law Ann with me. She is such a funny girl! She came with me to a friends house to do some valentines pictures and she needed a job so I let her take some pictures with my camera. I love the chubby legs she got on Milo. Here are a few of her best shots. It was fun to see what kind of pictures she got.
Super Gavin!
The Girls...
Talia was saying "Super!" over and over with her hands in the air.
They also spent a good amount of time jumping or "flying" off of the fireplace.
Super Alyson
Super Brooklyn
