HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

My INCREDIBLE HULK!

showing his muscles

Jayden and Gavyn

This year was Jaydens first Halloween :D it was fun! He did really well with his costume and was so good the entire time trick or treating. We started out going around to family and friends and ended at my aunt sandys house that she of course had all set up and WARM with dinner ready and more treats. It was a fun Halloween and I just love getting together with all of my family.

Carving PUMPKINS..

On Friday night I had my family come over and we carved pumpkins, ate soup, and then went down to the pumpkin festival in Jensen. I LOVED the festival down in Jensen but we'll definitely head down earlier then we did this year. The TRAFFIC was NUTS going down, I seriously have never seen such a thing in VERNAL UTAH :D But it was worth it, I thought that it was so much fun!

some of the "GANG" us adults definitely had a better time carving the pumpkins then the kids did :D haha..

I probably picked out the hardest pattern for Joey to do but it turned out GRRrrEAT!

Thanks babe!

beautiful mom carving her pumpkin

Our AWESOME pumpkins.. I had Joey carve the TRICK or TREATING one. It was definitely a challenge but it really did turn out good.

Thanks everyone for coming over and for all of the good food. We'll definitely have to make this an every year deal :D I love you guys so much!

Erickson Halloween party...

My sister in-law Diane always puts on a fun little HALLOWEEN party for the kids.. She is so amazing and so creative. The kids had so much fun and the games were a blast! I can't wait until Jayden is up and running around with all of his WILD cousins :D

Here are just a few pictures from the party.. I always get so disappointed in myself because I wish I was more of a CAMERA HAPPY person. Hopefully it'll get better when Jayden can actually move around himself.

THANKS AUNT DIANE FOR SUCH AN AMAZING PARTY!!

all of the grandkids except for KyLen he was sicky :{

WE LOVE HIM...

I cannot tell you all how much we love this little guy! He seriously brings so much JOY and HAPPINESS into our lives :D these are just a few pictures I took of him a few nights ago.. I just LOVE him so much I had to post!

I dedicate this song to my sister MarShel...

(these are the lyrics to the song on my blog page sit back listen and read the lyrics... )

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

And I’ll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I’m as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I’ve never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
There’s a boy here in town says he’ll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I’ll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words I been singin’
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin’

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep ‘em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls

When I listened to this song I started to bawl this is seriously the best song ever and I wish that it would have came out sooner :{ I would have loved to have this song on my sister video! I love her so much and I know that she is in such a better place and so much happier... I can't wait to see her again!!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SISTER!

Bluebell Corn Maze...

Jaydee Bug and Dad!

The boys going down the slide =}

COW TRAIN!

Ramsey was so pumped for this ride it was hilarious. I was trying to get a picture of him and he would look at me for only a second and then check out the cow and say cheese, haha. I kept telling Danny to get in so that I could get a picture of the boys with their dads but Danny had a hurt knee and figured he wouldn't be able to get in there.

I love to watch Joey with Jayden, he really is such a good daddy and he just loves him so much, never in my life would I have ever thought I would have seen Joey getting into something like this or the SLIDE =} Jayden will get DADDY to do ANYTHING!

and their OFF...

We went to the BlueBell Corn Maze on Saturday with Joeys brother Danny and his boy RAMSEY and my cousin in-law Zeke and his little one GAVYN, it was so much fun and the boys had a blast.. well until we got lost in the corn maze and we had all three of them bawling, haha.. it was classic. But we did finally find ourselves out of the corn maze, it was fun. I can't wait till Jayden is up and running around with his little cousins.. it's going to be fun to see how he'll interact with all of them and just watching him explore things on his own! Here are just a few pictures of the day, I really wanted to get a lot more pictures but you all know how guys are with pictures and well I was the only girl SOOOOO..

1 YEAR...

My sister in-law Diane brought these "I LOVE YOU" balloons for all of the kids to send up to Aunt MarShel

Thanks DIANE =}

"The GANGS all HERE"

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU GUYS!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

October 14th marked the 1 year mark since my sister MarShel passed ={ somedays I can't believe it's been a year and somedays it seems like it's been forever. There isn't one day that goes by that I don't think about her, I miss her so much and my heart just hearts watching my baby grow and my sister not being here. I know that she would absolutely love him and they would have been the best of friends! I'm so thankful for all of our supporting family that we have been blessed with. We hung out Thursday at my aunt sandys' house ALL DAY and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It's nice to be with the ones you love the most at the most hardest times in life. I love you Aunt Sandy and thank you so much for having us ALL over at your beautiful home ALL DAY and putting up with all the wild children =}

We miss you so much MarShel and can't wait to see you again..

LOVE YOU!!

I know I say this all of the time but honestly we love this little boy more then you will ever know. He is so AMAZING and so much FUN! He is learning so much and catching on to everything around him =} He is getting so big! at 7 months Jayden weighs 24 lbs. 12 oz. hahaha he is such a chunk-a-monk and that's pretty much what all of his little cousins call him, haha we love it!
