Peek a boo!!!

Our Philly !

Well, Our Philly has gone and done it!! He grew up and joined the Marine Core !!!! I know most of you have heard but I thought there might be a few who don't read the weight loss blog to find out all the latest happenings....so I thought I would let you in on the news ! Keep Kimi in prayer....her boy is gone! And I am sure even our tough, take no prisoners Kimi is having a hard time without Phil around!

I have his address at boot camp so if you want it drop me an email or phone call , I will give it to you ! I would love to see us all send him letters and care packages ! Maybe we can send a few to Kimi as well......

Tatiana's Trinkets....

Yep...we did it...we joined the "IT" crowd.....you know...you can find "It" on E-Bay! (admit it you have always wanted to know someone in the "IT" crowd) We have opened an Ebay store! Right now we are selling an eclectic array of odds (Jim has a lot of those) and ends, and I have recently started selling for others as well ! I am hoping in the near future to morph my inventory into some custom personalized items ...like commemorative plates for baby's births & weddings, hand painted furniture..... Tawni is going to be making and selling jewelry.....you get the idea !

We just thought we would let you in on our little venture...we are hoping this venture will enable me to stay home, not only to homeschool Tawni but to be able to open our home for foster care!

So if you have old stuff cluttering up your pad or you have something you want to sell...let me know !!

The store is called Tatiana's Trinkets....we added a link on our sidebar !!

Just a reminder.....

Remember to pray for all our guys and gals serving us .....and their families.....and the people we are fighting for....and the people we are fighting against......

I thought this picture was awesome !

The caption under the picture reads:

Air Force Master chief Sgt. John Gebhardt of the 332nd Expeditionary medical group at Balad, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. the girls ENTIRE family was executed by insurgents: the killers shot her iin the head as well. The girl received treatment at the military hospital , but cries and moans often. According to nurses Gebhardt is the only one who can calm her- so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair.

Torn between 2 loves.....

I just downloaded a free trial of Scrapbook Max......I have been very against these digital scrapbook programs.....and I still prefer the look of the hand done pages...but the ease...the no mess...and less cost...plus the fact that I can print Multiple copies of the same page with just a click of a button have pages done for family members........NO NO don't worry I am not the new rep. for Scrapbook Max......just sharing a private battle.......to scrap the traditional way...which is an art all to itself.....or to move into the future and actually get these scrapbooks done ! What do you think???

BIG Brother Kaiden

What a ham!! I just had to put these on...he is so darn cute! The other day... with a totally straight face I sat down next to Jim and said I am in love with a guy I have only known for a year........He gave me a funny look like "what?"...then I smiled and said...yep..Kaiden Robert...he's the cutes boy ever !!!

More Kenzie !!

Kaiden is not to sure of Kenzie but doing much better than we thought he would be ! Kenzie is home...and oh yeah...I guess mom is too. Everyone is doing good....other than mom being so tired she can't see straight......!!

Kenzie Ruby Vogan....

Sorry, I forgot to bring my card reader...so I could only download photo's from my phone ! But I wanted to get these up for the world to see my newest baby!!! Kenzie Ruby Vogan 8lbs 3oz 19&3/4 inches .....she was born at 8:28am!! Everyone is doing good and the girls are so excited!! Kaiden...well...not so much.....but he will learn to love her!!

Thank you Josh and Jessy for giving me another baby to hug, kiss and love.....spoil and send HOME !! WWWOOOHOOO !!

Hey, I know death and the following grief is not something most people want to think about, but it is a fact of this life, try as you might you can not escape it. I have been through several HUGE losses in this life.....I mean we all lose people, Grandma's & PA's.....and not to belittle those losses, but you kind of expect those...you know in the back of your mind that someday you will most likely have to deal with the loss of this person...and in a way you unconsciously prepare yourself . The kind of loss I am talking about is the sudden unexpected loss, the one that hits you like a semi truck going 80 and then stops and backs over you...this time slower......I hope and pray that you NEVER have to experience this type of loss....I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I am writing all this to remind you.....that we have a friend who has experienced this kind of loss......she has started a new blog...trying to reach out and help herself and others ......I am hoping that you will pop in a support her during this time...but also that you will spread the word.....there may be someone you know who has experienced a loss and could really use a blog like this.....misery loves company.....but it helps to know that what you are feeling is normal...you are not crazy ...and there is hope !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN !!

Karen,
I feel truly blessed to call you a friend !
You are such an inspiration to me, You are always there to share your wisdom, a comforting hug or a laugh ! You are one of those people who can inspire without making me feel less..does that make sense?
You have such a sweet heart, one that truly seeks to honor God in all you do. You are someone who is always seeking to be more like Jesus and you’re not afraid to do the work that it takes. I look at you and see what I aspire to be...A woman who loves the Lord, honors her husband, loves her children, and blesses her friends ! And you do it all with a sweet and humble heart. I admire you more than words can say ! I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and a blessed year ahead ! I wish I could be down there to hug you in person...so just consider yourself HUGGED !

Noah's Ark Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark.



ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Shocking ...I know!

Merry Christmas !!!

I know it's hard to believe....a family picture of the Bicklers!! We only do this about once every 10 years...so take a good look...you probably won't see another one for a while...unless of course I drop a million pounds like some other unnamed person .... or persons.......

We wish you all a blessed and wonderful Christmas ! We feel truly honored and extremely blessed to have such awesome people in our lives !!! **We love you man!!** SNIFF** I'm not cryin...it's just my allergies.....**Sniff**

A picture is worth a thousand words...this one maybe more....

That is Jim's guilty "who me?" look..... That's me saying "you just wait till there are no witness's!!! This moment captured by our very own Julie Paine!! Thank you Julie!

Our Little T

Lorrie has started a web page honoring the life of her little T . It has some great pictures and Lorrie really shares from her heart! I know my "Amy" blog has really helped me through the grief process and I added Thomas and Lorries site so we can support her during this time! It's going to be a LONG , very hard road, the whole family will need our continued support, but most of all our prayers! Get your tissues, take a few minutes, let them know you are thinking about them ! I added a link at the side called Our Little T...go check it out and leave a note !

I'm dreaming....Of a white Christmas.....

WOW ! I don't know about the rest of you but the first day we got 11 inches!! And we have only added to it since then !! Makes it really feel like Christmas for Jim and I !!! I know it's not as easy to get around...but in Idaho and Montana ...we do this for at least 4 months out of the year !! Jim and I love it!!! We dont love the 4 hour commutes home in the middle of the night...but hopefully that will get better!!

Do you ever wonder???

Do you ever wonder what your kids are doing when your not paying attention?? I laughed so hard when I saw these I had to share them with you.....and just a note...this isn't ALL the pictures....just a few of the best!!

There are 299,968,595 people in the United States of America. If everyone in the U.S. lined up single file, the line would stretch around the Earth almost 7 times. That's a lot of people.
The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.
There are 49,535 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,048 people named James Bond, 113 people named Harry Potter , 503 people named George Bush, and 31 people named Emily Dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, no boys named Sue.
What about you? How many people share your name? Enter it and find out how many of you there are.

15 years......

WOW ! 15 years ! I know I should be getting some type of award for this.....15 years with a Bickler man? It is not for the faint of heart that's for sure !

Yes, it's true...15 years ago today Jim and I snuck off and got ourselves hitched! Life has not always been easy and there are times I am amazed we made it through....by Gods grace alone I assure you !
We have learned to laugh at ourselves, and hold on tight through what ever life has to throw at us ! Jim , you may be a pain in my behind some times but I love you and I don't know how I would live without you !
