School, Camping, and Birthday's Oh My!

I .

Hello!! It has been awhile since we have blogged so here is our update about our family I hope that you enjoy the pictures as well.

Let's start with Garrett's birthday! As you all know we rented a camp trailer and went up to Current Creek. It was very beautiful up there and nice and cool!! Everyone had a great time and we all had fun!! Poor Ann though, she started to get sick on Friday night. When we woke up on Saturday morning, it was Garrett's Birthday!! The Big Numero Uno!!!! What better way to spend your first birthday!!! After we got up and gave Garrett his presents we had to drive back to Heber to get Ann some Medicine so that she could feel better! After that we made our way back up to our camp site!! It was a beautiful drive!! When we got back, we just hung out and played games and cooked dinner and made smores over the camp fire!! It was great!!! The Ericksen's First Family Campout!!!! As you can probably tell by the picture that this is the only way that Ann will go camping with me....but hey!! I don't mind!!! We stayed dry when it rained and we also stayed warm when it got down below freezing!!! So after all, I really didn't mind either!!

Also it was Sydney and Ashley's first day of school!! Sydney now goes all day to first grade! She loves her teacher, Mrs. Gardner. She is a really great teacher! Sydney likes her a lot! Everyday she comes home and fills us in on what she did that day! Its so neat to see the excitement that all little kids have when they get to learn new and exciting things!

Ashley is going to pre-school this year! She is so excited to go! She goes on Tuesday's and Thursday's. She is so funny! She so badly wants to be just like her older sister and do all that she does! Before you know it she will be!!

Well that's all that has really been going on around here! Ann can't wait to get out to Ohio to see Marisa and Kelsey! And I'm sure that I can't wait until she get's home!! :) Until next time!!
