Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

Sunday was our three year anniversary. I can't believe it. The last three years have been great. We've done so much and things have changed so much. We couldn't ask for a better life. We are so blessed.

For as smiley as our kids are, Davis would not cooperate when we were taking pictures. Blair was pretty good, but Davis wouldn't even give a decent look. This is the only picture where he has a half decent look on his face and, of course, it was one of the worst of Blair. Oh well, better luck next time.

Random Pictures

We haven't done anything big and exciting lately, but we have been having a lot of fun at home.
The babies are so much fun right now. They go anywhere and everywhere and it's always faster than I thought they could move. They always like to see what the other one is up to and they LOVE to climb on everything. Here are a few pictures we've taken lately.

The babies love to hang out by me when I'm cooking dinner. Last night they pulled out the drawer on the bottom of the stove and Blair thought it'd be fun to climb in. This isn't something I love them doing, but I still needed a picture.

Davis and Blair love books. They have a basket full of books that they love to get out. They love to read stories and they have both started helping me turn the pages now. It's so cute. In the morning after breakfast, the first place they always go is to the books. Hopefully, they'll always love reading!
Davis climbing under the end table. Anything new to climb on is always exciting to them.
One morning I was in the middle of getting them ready and I left their room for a minute. When I came back, they were sitting together like this.
Nothing is as fun when you're sitting. Standing is always best!
The babies both love mirrors. Their closet doors are mirrors and they can entertain themselves there for a long time. It's pretty funny to watch. The other day we were out shopping and Davis was getting a little cranky (typical boy), I walked over to look at something and happened to put the stroller in front of a mirror and immediately I heard happy noises out of him. He was checking himself out and loving it. What a cutie.
Usually I bathe the babies one at a time, but when Spence is home they can take a bath together. They love splashing and playing with the toys. Blair also loves crawling around in the tub and sticking her mouth under so she can drink the water. Yum!

Big kid PJs. I think pajamas with a top and bottom and no feet make the babies look so grown up. Here they are in their big kid PJs for the first time.
Davis and Dad having a good time.
Blair and Dad enjoying a few laughs.
Davis and Alex playing at the park during the family reunion for Grandma Olsen's side of the family. On the 24th of July we went to Park City. Spence, Dad, and Austin took their bikes and rode the lift up the mountain and their bikes down. They had a great time and the babies and I had fun shopping with Grandma.

Life couldn't be better at the Erickson house. We are happy as can be and can't get enough of our cute babies. We are blessed beyond belief!

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We went to my parents and had a BBQ with my family and watched fireworks. It was a lot of fun. We love every chance we get to hang out with Brady and Emily and their cute kids. Blair and Davis did great at the fireworks which was awesome because they never stay up late. We took a ton of pictures - sorry I posted so many.

Cute Babies

New Trick

The babies are growing and learning new things each day. Blair is crawling around super fast now and pulling herself to standing. Her latest trick is walking on her hands and feet. She does it a lot on the tile or on my parents wood floor. She must not like to crawl on the hard floors. She only takes a few steps at a time, but it is pretty funny to watch.

Swimming

We have gone swimming a bunch lately and the babies love it. It's so nice to have the pool so close to our house. We go over at nights when Spence gets home from work and it's perfect because we don't have to worry about sunblock in the evenings. The babies like floating around, but they love getting out and splashing and they even like putting their faces in the water for a second. One night Grandpa and Grandma Davis brought Trey and we all went swimming. We are loving summer and having so much fun.

Camping

We went camping last weekend with Erin and Riki Graybill. We had so much fun. It was the first night the babies spent in a tent and they did great. We had them super bundled up which turned out to be great since we woke up to frost. They slept really good and were happy most of the time. Saturday we hiked up to Timpanogos Cave. We also got to try out the new Camp Chef stove we got for Christmas. Camping breakfast is the best.

Ivory

Last week I went to Denver to see my newest niece, Ivory. I had so much fun holding a new baby and playing with Trey. Trey absolutely loves being a big brother and is happy to help anytime. He is the cutest kid ever. He always wants to hold the baby and he must have the burp rap on his shoulder while he does it. I love the little things he says to her. "Remember me? I'm your big brother. You love me." "Don't worry, Sweetheart; it's okay." Trey and I had fun playing at the park, eating treats, and reading his new books. He practically has the new manners book and big brother book memorized. It was fun to hold the new baby, but super fun to hang out with Trey. He is growing up so fast.

While I was gone, Spence took care of the babies at home. He did a great job. I came home to a clean house and happy babies. Spence was very pleased to see that Blair would now cry when he left the room instead of when I left the room. He took the kids to work for a few hours a couple of days and everything. They had fun with their dad.

Relay for Life

Last weekend we went to the Relay for Life with Grandma Erickson. It was so much fun to be there with Grandma. We are so lucky to have her in our lives and we think she's the toughest grandma around. She has been such a trooper through all of her cancer ordeal. She has the best attitude and helps everyone around her have a positive outlook too. The pictures aren't that great, but that's what we've got.

They do a lap first and then everyone else joins in.

Blair raising money for cancer research. There are booths set up all around and each one raises money for something related to cancer. This one was a jail that required a donation to get out. Grandma and our little family getting ready to do a few laps.

We also went to Kayla's horse show while we were in Logan, but we failed to take any pictures. We were busy having fun and helping Kayla. She did a great job and we'll be sure to get some pictures at the next show.

Camping...Sort Of

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to Logan to hang out with Jared and Mandy and Adam and Abril. Jared and Mandy were camping in Logan Canyon, but we were too whimpy. The weather wasn't good and we didn't want to sleep over with the babies. We drove up and hung out with them in the day and had a great time. The babies enjoyed playing with their cousins and their favorite aunts Miranda and Kayla. This is a picture after we did a short hike.
