New Church Calling

Ok I know it had been a long time since I had posted but a whole year??? REALLY??? I had a meeting with the bishopric a few weeks ago and was called as the new Primary President!! WOWZA! I was shocked! What? Are you kidding me? I am not primary president material is what I thought! But I accepted and got to work. I have been told that the Lord will qualify those for their callings not the other way around. SO, as this calling teaches me the importance of love and understanding, patience, being humble, and the joy that can come from it, I am loving my new calling! I have an amazing presidency and am so excited for my new job!

Family Snap shots

I needed an UPDATED family picture for this years family calendar. So we rushed to town and had my sis in law take a few snap shots! They turned out very cute and we only had to freeze for 3 minutes. Not Bad!!!

CARS

Kamrie and Taylor had a Daddy/Daughter date and had to make a cardboard car to "race". It was like an obstacle coarse where they had different pit stops like "you drank to much root beer, walk toe to toe for 10 steps, ect. We decided to make some fun ones from the movie cars. Keagan thought they were so fun that he needed Lightning McQueen and then I decided that Kyler would need one to. So with a few cans of spray paint, duck-tape and a little creativity, we came up with Fillmore, Mater, Lighting McQueen and Guido! The kids loved them and looked SO CUTE!!!

Bubbles

We bought a "bubble blower" in Disneyland for Kyler. I must say one of the best inventions ever!!! He LOVED it and tried to catch the bubbles in his mouth. Yuck!

Keagan's First try at Soccer

Keagan was a GREAT little soccer player! It took him a few games to get the hang of it, but when he did, he would always get the ball and score! It was SO fun to watch. Several little 6-7 year olds and a soccer ball are HILARIOUS!!!

Kamrie turns 11

It's so crazy to think that my little girl is 11 already! She is such a huge helper to her Mom and Dad. She is maturing so fast and already thinks she needs a cell phone and to wear make-up. I compromised, she can wear mascara and lip-gloss and she still has to use "the KIDS" cell phone when she needs one. I love you so much Kamers!

More pics of our new house

It's kind of been crazy the last couple months but we are LOVING our new home. A few people have requested to see some pictures of the inside so here they are. We have many plans for decorating and a little updating too! We have decided to give a "room makeover" to everyone for their birthdays and then work on the living rooms, ect after that. We can't wait to get started!

Pioneer Day Parade

We went to the Pioneer Day parade up in St. Anthony with Grandpa Erickson, Nathan, Tiffany, Maycee and Taylor's friend Cala. It was a lot of fun and we got yummy candy!

Erickson Reunion

For the Erickson Family Reunion this year we went to Lava Hot springs. We swam, sat in the hot pools, played games, spent time with family and ate lots of yummy food.

Flood Arrogating

My father-in-law and I had never arrogated our pasture before and Drew was gone so it was up to us. Apparently we know what NOT to do now! We'll do better next time! But the kids sure had fun splashing and playing in the water!

Cute Little Slimy Slamanders

Keagan caught these slimy little critters under the house in the crawl space. He was so proud of himself. And even though he wanted to keep them all, Mom made him put them back. I know I'm MEAN! :(

Kyler LOVES to play outside

Kyler LOVES to play outside! His favorite is the sand box or anything to do with water. And he usually has his best buddy "Duke" right along with him.
