Jaxon's first pack meeting

Jaxon loves scouts!! It was funny when he was trying to pin me.

Erickson Christmas Party

The kids had a great time with their cousins over Christmas break in Utah.

Tubing on Christmas Eve

As we do every year we went tubing on Christmas Eve. We had so much fun. We go with the same friends every year and have hot chocalate and snacks. This year we had 3-wheelers so the kids didn't have to hike up the hill. They thought that was great. It was a fun day. Paityn really enjoys the snow but she isn't too sure about sledding down the hill. But she loved jumping and playing in the snow. We've gotten a lot of it here this year.

Happy Birthday Doug

Doug's birthday is on Christmas and we always forget about it. Even he does. I just want to take the time on this Christmas day to say how grateful I am for him. There are so many reasons why I love my husband of almost 16 years. Wow! I just wanted to write a few down.
I love Doug because:
You are sarcastic and a tease to everyone but me!
You play board games with the kids. You are a fun dad.
I love the way Paityn looks at you. She loves you so much. All the kids do.
I love your big hugs.
I love that you take pictures of everything, but we don't have many of him(that's not good).
You always have music playing in our home.
You are smart and spiritual at the same time.
I love your knowledge of the gospel.
You are generous and kind.
You are a strong leader but sweet at the same time.
You are always there for us through thick and thin.
You tell me when I'm wrong without making me feel judged.
I know this sounds cliche but you are my best friend. I'm so happy to be with you. You make my life complete.
I love you.
Happy Birthday.

First Snowfall and Santa

BCS Bound!! (again)

Go Utes! We are so excited that the Utes clobbered BYU. I think Max Hall should get the MVP.
