MORE SNOW!!!

In the next few pictures you will not find any pictures of me or Amy.
We are smart enough to not go out in that stuff! :)

Noah is ready to call the CPS on child labor laws.
He is shoveling the sidewalk between our house and our neighbors
from the newest snow. What a great hard worker!

Just look at that shovel go!

Is there really anyone in there??
Noah know hows to dress for the weather.
Violet loves to "help" shovel.

Eric keeping the troops on task.

Two more PIcs:)

Eric in his tux ready to perform.

The happy couple!

Family Christmas Pictures

Family pictures are always an interesting event.
Just trying to get one with everyone looking halfway descent 
is a major accomplishment. Here are a few of the best.

Our little "Linus" from Peanuts with her blanket and thumb.
She is just too cute!
This is how we take a family picture. Thank goodness
for timers!!!
Everyone trying to see if we finally got a good one!

YEAHHH! A nice shot.

The 3 musketeers....behind the cute smiles lies the
trouble makers. Have they been naughty or nice???
We will just have to see what St. Nick brings this year!

It's My Birthday! YIPEEE!

Today it snowed 4", church was cancelled after the first meeting,
and I got to open presents!!! We also go to see Eric sing
with the Spokane Symphony Choir and Orchestra.
What a great day! 
(Besides freezing temperatures and the snow)

Amy was so happy with the new necklace that she and Noah 
bought for me.

Queen for a day!

MMMMMMM....COOKIE MONSTER!!

Eric made my FAVORITE desert from Texas!
What a great guy.

SNOW DAY!

Eric and the girls shoveling the snow on the driveway.
I shoveled 4"-6" of snow yesterday at 4pm.
Eric shoveled another 4"-6" of snow last night at 9pm.
Now he is shoveling another 12" this morning!!!!
Violet tried her hand at shoveling, but that didn't last too long.
She couldn't get a good grip with her mitten gloves:)

Violet sits on her perch in the snow. Amy plays with Violet and
Noah plays with the boys. It's really funny to watch Violet...
She has to be in the middle of it all. No matter if it's in
our driveway or the neighbor's. She is right there watching!

SNOW, SNOW & MORE SNOW!!!!

Our home this morning!

18" on snow on the trampoline

YES, you saw that correctly....20" of snow in our front yard!
AND it's still coming down!

Noah, our scientist, wanted to know how much it had snowed.
The total so far is 20". The weather man says we
can expect another 6"-8"!
The temp. isn't getting any warmer in the next week so this stuff is
going to hang around for a LONG time!

Pic at The Cameron's

Violet had a good time playing with Uncle Jack!

Amy found an old mask of our cousin Mikey's and thought it was fun
to scare Violet and anyone else who walked by.

Me and my favorite Texan Grandparents

Bryngel's Wedding

Little Violet wanted to be in all the pics. It's a good thing
she is small and at the bottom of the pics.

The proud Erickson Family with the happy couple.
Congrats Bryngel and Jessica!

Thank you Sis. Lono for the cute dresses!

Noah was the 2nd in command on the camera.
He LOVES to take pictures!

The Aquarium in Draper, UT

The kids loved see all the sea life at the aquarium!

Noah even touched this ray! Brave kiddo.
Had to throw this one in since we are not in the same pic often:)

Violet fell in love with this interactive boat. She was kicking
and screaming when we had to let other kids have a turn!
At least she was cute doing it.

Jennifer's Boise Reception

Mom, and I had such a fun little trip to Boise. We were so happy to 
be there with Jennifer, Scott, Paul and Deborah and Mom's cousins.

Provo, UT

We were in Provo for Eric's youngest and last sibling to get married.
The kids had a great time at the duck pond near BYU's campus.
Uncle Bryngel caught a duck and was all the niece's and nephew's hero!

What a BEAUTIFUL girl!!!

Noah has always enjoyed feeding, chasing, scaring, catching
and watching ducks. What a little man:)

Hip Hop Class

Amy had a lot of fun giving her "attitude" in her
hip hop class she took this summer

Playing on the River in Post Falls

Amy Sue can make friends anywhere and with anyone. She has a great smile!

Noah is growing fast and becoming such a GREAT big brother.

Little mess here (Violet) has us all wrapped around her finger.

Daddy helping Violet float with Amy's supervision:)
