The twins...........(Trevor and Travis)

Ok so here's our Surprise twins!! I say that cuz we were done after our first 3 and I even had the IUD in but no............they thought I needed more craziness in my life! Just kidding!! The have been the hardest but funnest challenge in my life and I love them so much!! Never a dull moment in my life since I've had them.
They were born in the #1 pediatric hospital in all of Europe. It was actually Cambridge, England. The Drs. had me so scared that they were gonna have the twin-twin transfusion, so I saw a Dr. every other week. The Air Force dr and the British Dr. alternated. They wouldn't let me go to 40 weeks even though I told them, (but who listens to the women when it comes to their body?) They are identicle, meaning they shared the same placenta, they had their own sacs but shared the placenta. They were so identicle the nurses were very strict about which blanket they were wrapped in, they didn't want to get them confused. They are still so identicle that my dad and grandpa's can't tell 'em apart. Heck! I even confuse them all the time! When I talk to them seperately, it usually starts, w/ "Trevor, I mean Travis!"
The twins get whatever they want..........they don't talk, they whine until someone figures it out, so by the time we figure it out, we just give it to them! I'm not a patient person, but these guys are making sure I'm learning how to be more patient.
Like I said............NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!

Dhanni Elise Bigler




Here is our little Dhanni! See is such a joy and so much fun. She is such a little princess. She is always making a fashion statement. She likes skirts w/ cowboy boots, anything mis-matched and wild hair-dos. She love playing "Mom" to the twins.

She is in Kindergarten and loves it. She loves her teacher Mrs. Vining, who is also Richard's first cousin. She loves to feel important and getting to school on time, although she's not crazy about being woke up in the morning. She loves having a boy name for a girl, we talk about that about everyday.

We love our "Dhanni Girl"!

Jarom James Bigler


Here's Jarom, our first boy! He is a sweet boy, very sensitive and always helpful. He is 7 years old, and will be baptized in April.

He started school in the English school system, he even wore a British school uniform. He started speaking w/ the British accent, and still uses some of the words. (Like a garbage is a rubbish bin in England.) He will be doing his second year of 1st grade, but he is the smartest 1st grader.

He loves playing car and trucks w/ his younger brothers (the twins). He also has an addiction to the t.v.

When Jarom gets home from school, he always asks if he can go work w/ Richard on the farm. He loves the farm. He is also in charge of the chickens we have and feeding them and collecting the eggs.

We love Jarom and happy he is part of our family!!

Rhonni Shae




I've decided to copy Wendy, thanks for the idea!

Rhonni Shae

Rhonni has been a blessing in my life, and I'm thankful to Rhonni for coming down to Earth to staighten her moms life up. She started her life in an adult world. She didn't even want to crawl, she started walking at 8 mths. She was very grown up for a little girl. I was going to school and working while her nana and papa pretty much raised her. I remember my dad (Papa) taking her to work w/ him on the farm. He just put her car seat in his truck and she was his help-mate. They have a special bond. He was her temporary dad (since she didn't have one). Grandpa Howard calls her little Ronnie. She was named after Papa. When Rhonni turned 3, her momma found a husband/dad for us. She called him Richard up until the day we were married. After that it was dad from there on out. She was adopted and got a new last name. She was concerned about being a Bigler, she wanted to be a Littler. Rhonni has always been a smart little girl. Rhonni is the best big sister, and all her siblings love her. She helps w/ homework and chores and has even been helping the twins learn to talk. I love Rhonni so much! Thank you for being part of my life!
