Going Private....

I guess I need to go private for the safety of our home. My daughter Ashley has informed me this would be best. and since I want to keep up with everyone and as long as your someone I know and not creepy you are welcome to visit with the Hickens. I will leave this for a couple of weeks so that I may get all the addresses needed. If you don't come find me I will try to come find you. We invite all friends and family. Thanks everyone!!

Home again

I had a good yet busy time up at Ashley's helping her take care of my two true loves , Jack and JJ, they are such the light of my life! I did come home tired though-there is a reason I didn't have kids in my forties-I do have to give it to my sister Penny though cause taking care of little babies in your forties is not quit like having and taking care of them in your twenties. All went well though and I so enjoy every little bit of time I get with my sweet little boys!

I would like to tell my Daughter Ashley how proud I am of her, she has been a real trooper. I know that moving up to Oregon as a young Mom with all that has been piled on-a new born, a busy two year old and not much luck with her health-has been hard and she just shines through it all. Hang in there baby I know things will get better. You and Johnny are exceptional people and I have no doubts you guy will make it though these tough times only stronger. You guys are great little parents, I love you!

Going to visit my little Lion JJ and my sweet baby Jack

I'm heading up to Oregon once again to see my sweet little loves JJ and Jack and more importanatly to help my wonderful daughter Ashley.
Ashley has the very unfortunate opportunity of having her sick gall bladder taken out. Believe it or not I just got done helping my daughter Lindsey with her surgery to get her gall bladder taken out only one month ago. ??? "Whats with my children and having sick gall bladders!"

This is a video from Jacks baby blessing/party. Jack and JJ are with thier Geepa and Great Grandpa Hicken. JJ didn't want his picture taken so he started to roar at us-to show he is angry- and when he found that we all thought it was so funny, he just kept going. "Pretty cute!"
