Camping at Cub River

A couple of weeks ago, we had the Olsen family campout. We went to Cub River near Preston, Idaho. We had a really good time. It was a little crazy with the kids because they are so mobile. They are no longer content to sit and play on a blanket. They prefer to roam around and eat dirt, sticks, rocks, and grass. Mmmm. We did a lot of fun things and enjoyed visiting with our family.

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.

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.
