Bear Lake

On Friday we took the kids up to Bear Lake for the day. Brian rented a paddle boat for 2 hrs and then got a sea doo for another 2 hrs. the kids let us know that next time we should just go with the sea doo. It was alot more fun. I only went once on it because it made me sick so Brian took the kids the rest of the time while I rested on the beach. That day they were still doing raspberry days and so there were alot of the things going on down town. We stopped by to get one of the famous raspberry shakes and had lunch. by the time we got home every one of the kids were sound asleep in the back. I think we wore them out pretty good. Brian thinks we should try to have a family reunion up there some time because of all the fun everyone had.

For those of you that are in the Twilight series: I was going to buy my copy of Breaking Dawn on the 2nd to avoid the insanity the night before but when I was getting ready to leave, Brian called and asked me if I had already picked it up. I said "Not yet." Brian said "Good because I already bought it for you." For those who don't know Brian has been teasing me for getting so into these books so this was a big deal for me that he got it. He even got stickers and a button with Breaking Dawn on it for me! What a man!!!

Long time no Blog

I have been quite slack in keeping up on my blog. Sorry. Sense the last post we have been busy. Julie had a birthday and so has my son Brian. Julie, I'm sorry for being such a slack sister. You are the best and deserve better from me. I know I talked to you, but still isn't enough. I'm sure most of you know Julie, but for those who don't Julie is an amazingly kind and thoughtful person who would do anything in the world for you if you needed it. She also is a wonderful friend and will be true to you no matter what. I count my lucky stars that I get to have her as my sister. Julie is a fantastic mom and loves her time with her son Cody. I just love you Julie!!

My son Brian is such a great kid. He makes sure there is never a dull moment in our house. He can be very busy getting into all kinds of mischief but he is also one of the most loving and thoughtful little boys I know. He got a gift card from his Grandma and Grandpa Erickson. He had big plans for it but when we got to the store, they didn't have what he was looking for so he decided to get something for his little brother and big sister and has been doing this for about a week. What a sweet boy! I'm very proud of him for making such a good choice and thinking of others. Brian's birthday is July 24th and if you live in Utah you know that the whole state is out celebrating so we decided to take Brian to the Hoggle Zoo and Gateway mall the next day. Brian loved it and told us this was the best birthday he's ever had. (He says that every year) We had a little family birthday party on his special day and he got to open his presents from us with the cake and ice cream. I wanted to have a party with his friends the next week but when it came to the day of Brian got sick and we had to cancel. Poor kid.

This last Thursday I went in for another doctors visit and was able set up the ultra sound to find out if we are having a boy or a girl this next Wednesday. Brian and going crazy! He wants to know now and just can't wait. He hopes we have a girl along with Kelsey but the boys don't care either way of course. I would like this baby to be a girl as well but the main thing is to just have a healthy baby. Brian's dad thinks it's a boy and I think my whole family thinks it's a girl. My sister Kami has been right every time when one of us gets pregnant and she feels quite confident this is a girl. We'll see.
