Also learning a little about Lia Sophia jewelry. Which is awesome.! There will be prizes and a chance to get some money off the jewelry if you want to buy some.

Tyler's first haircut

You are all probably wondering why one earth I would cut Tylers hair when he hardly has any anyway. Well 2 reasons. 1- His hair was growing in so un even and he had these funny looking wings on the side that were driving me CRAZY! 2- I heard that if you cut their hair it will grow back faster and thicker. So we will see. He was SO good for his hair cut. I thought he would be scared of the clippers but he held very still and did GREAT!

Isn't he adorable???

My newest creation!

My nephew Dean turns 2 tomorrow. Today was his birthday party. I was asked to make the cake. I was so excited! I found this cute cake online and decided to give it a shot. It turned out better than I imagined. Definitly better than the cake I made him last year. Here is the green dinosaur......

My embarrassing moment

I usually like to add a picture each time I post. Maybe because I feel like they are more interesting than what I write. But you will all probably be thankful I didn't add one after you read this....



Being a CNA for about 6 years, and a mother, poop has never really bothered me, until today....



Today has not been a good day for Tyler... When I walked in his room this morning to get him out of bed,his room smelled awful. I decided I better change his diaper, well I didn't just change his diaper, but his outfit and entire bed. What a mess. I figured he had just eaten something that upset his stomach. About an hour later it happened again. 2 baths in one day! Well he wasn't acting sick or grumpy and seemed better so I went about my day. Thankfully no more accidents.



About 9:15 or so Donny and I left my parents to go home but I needed to run to the store first. We stopped at Macey's in Provo to grab a few things. We were headed down the baking aisle when I smelled something. I looked at Donny and said "We better hurry before we have another explosion." and I took off down the aisle. Not even a second later Donny starts saying " OH NO! OH NO! OH NO!" Well you guessed it. Diarrhea EVERYWHERE. Oh my gosh it was so aweful. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed a handful of paper towels, but that wasn't enough. We asked a couple workers if they could help us and they were so nice but I felt so bad. Then I had to go to the bathroom to change Tyler while he's SCREAMING his head off. And last of all I had to expalin to the cashier what happened and why I was walking around with a plastic bag wrapped around my sons bottom(just incase it happened again) I asked the cashier to please find someone to take the cart to be sanatized, because it was discusting. Well she just gave me this look like "Are you serious?" well yes I was very serious. She then turned to the bagger and asked him if he would help me. I then had to explain what had happened all over again. He was very very nice and understanding, thankfully or I might have broke down in tears. We planned to make a short trip to the store and we didn't get out of there til 11 o'clock. Now we are up drinking pedialite all night. Luckily we made it out of the store alive and we will call the doctor in the morning.



I hope you all had a better day than me! Oh, but I still love being a mom!

August happenings

I don't mean for it to be a month between each post but with our internet is still not working great, I really don't have patience nor time to do this. So here I am at my mothers using her internet so you all don't think I am completely lost. Here is what the Hicken's have been up to this month! Not in any particular order...

We went to Colorado with Donny's family and some family friends. It was a blast. Very beautiful area, Ouray, Silverton, and Telluride. If you have never been there it is a gorgeous area. It was nice and rainy most the time. Which was a nice change from the heat around here. We hiked to a beautiful waterfall in the rain, got ADORABLE old-time pictures of our Tyler, and the other picture is of Donny and his Mom on top of the mountain, if you look close you can see the city of Telluride down below. They road the Gandola up there, a ski lift thing!




On August 14, I turned 24!! I didn't think I would feel old but I kinda do. Donny decorated the house with balloons and streamers. (Tyler loved the balloons) We went to the Utah County fair, and then ordered pizza. Invited my family over for cake and ice cream. Below is Donny's cake creation. Don't ask me why an Alien, but oh well it was funny!


SOLD!!! :( We finally sold our Bronco. This was Donny's car since he was 16. Lots of good times! But when we are lucky we got 10 miles to the gallon in this old beast, so it was time to sell it! Our neighbor bought it so we will still see it, just 2 parking spots down from ours. Its hard to see everyday, but it is good to see someone put it to good use, because we hardly ever drove it. We will miss our ol' Broncy!!

August has $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point! My mom, sister, nephew, son, and I went to the dinosuar museum. (I think we went the same day as you Lorina) It was CROWDED! We had to take turns taking pictures, be we got a few cute ones. Most had other peoples kids posing in our pictures, it was funny! Tyler and Dean had a good time!


CONGRATULATIONS DONNY!! Donny made it into the Marriot School of Business at BYU! He plans to major with business finance degree. I am so proud of him! He worked hard to get here! We are excited for him to start a program. Now we have an end in sight and it is very exciting!!


I picked up a new hobby, Couponing! Thanks to my friend Erin. She inspired me. You should check out her new blog iamfrugal.blogspot.com She has amazing deals and how to start into coupons and save money, lots of free stuff too! Right now we really need to save money so this has been great. I am just getting started but am quickly becoming a couponaholic ( so my husband thinks).

Well thats what we have been up to this month! Now we are just trying to get things in order before Donny starts school in a couple weeks. Life never slows down. But we are enjoying it! Hope to have a new up-date soon!

The many faces of Tyler

The other day Donny and I were taking pictures of Tyler. Before my camera flashes it shines a light on the object you are taking a picture of. So in this case, Tyler's face. Every time the light went on he pulled a funny face. Take a look...

What a GOOFY boy!!

Pioneer Day!

Donny had the 24th of July off so we spent the day with my sister and her family. First we rode our bikes up Provo canyon and had a picnic at a park, we came back to Emmalee's house and played games while the babies took a nap(or while Tyler played in the playpen and Dean napped), then the boys went swimming and we had a BBQ and went over to grandma and grandpa's to watch fireworks. Tyler jumped every time a firework went off but he never cried!! So that's good. We had a lot of fun.
