More Baby!!!

I don't know if you are tired of seeing ultrasound pics, and if so, too bad, because we like to show off our little QT. We got a gift certificate from our doctor for a 3D ultrasound so we decided to go and use that this weekend. It was in St. George so we decided to make a day of it and go to the Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm, which was also alot of fun. Blake's new thing is....yep, you guessed it Dinosaurs, which is fine with me. Anyways, back to the ultrasound, We found directions to the place and when we got there it was in this little ghetto place off Bluff St. (as ghetto as you can get in St. George, Utah). But the lady that did it was really nice and she did a good job. The only problem is that our little turd had both of her legs up in front of her face. Her toes were above her forehead and she stayed that way for the whole time we were there (45 minutes). We could tell the lady was frustrated because she wanted to get some good pics, but what do you do huh? There are some cute ones though.

Happy Belated Halloween

We are alittle late posting the halloween pics, we wanted everyone to see what Blake was for halloween. He got to go trick or treating with his cousins, Kodi, Jasa and Philip. Blake and Philip where both superheros. They also went to a carnival in Orangeville. Blake and Clover had alot of fun spending the week in Emery County.

Baby Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are having a girl. The ultrasound wasn't the greatest because there was alot of fluid in front of our baby girl, but it was good enough to tell what we are having. I knew all along that it would be a sweet little girl. And I guess most of you who voted knew too.

Grammy Carrie Came And Visited

Grammy Carrie came and visited us for a couple of days this week and we had such a fun time just hanging out and re-learning how to make chicken noodle soup and cherry pie. She hitched a ride with my aunt Alice and grandma Delsa on there way to Tuachan to watch a couple of plays. Blake had soo much fun playing with "Grammy Carrie" that he had such a sad look on his face when she had to leave. We had to keep reminding him that he would see her again next weekend when her and Grandpa Dave stop by on their way to Vegas. It took him a couple of hours but he eventually cheered up. Thanks Grammy Carrie for coming and visiting us.

The whole weekend Blake was pretending that this Mountain Dew box was a house and his crayons where living in the house. The little handle there is the door and we had to knock on the door to come in.

Blake got a hold of the camera and took a couple (really about 30!) pictures. This one we call "Grandma Carrie on a Wall".
Isn't she precious? She is going to kill me when she sees that I have posted this forever on our blog for all the world to see. Clover has still been really sick and her blood pressure is high so keep her and the baby in your prayers. We are amazed at how many people think that we are going to have a girl. It is almost odd to see because we put a poll on the Erickson family website and the majority of people think that it is a girl. We can find out in the next 2-3 weeks so we will keep you posted.

Long Time No Post

We apologize for the lack of posting, but we have been quite busy over the last month. School started as you saw from the previous posts, and Blake and I have been busy doing homework and taking tests. We went to the Kay and Delsa Erickson family reunion over the Labor Day weekend. Blake had soo much fun playing with all of his cousins. Clover has been busy growing a baby as you can see from the post. She has not been feeling great lately, but we both have to remind ourselves that it will all be worth it in the end. We were soo excited to see our little baby and see little hands and feet. The baby was moving all over the place and we told he/she to enjoy the space while it was there because it was going to get cramped in a little while. Clover is about 14 weeks along so in about 6 more weeks we should be able to find out whether we are having a boy or girl.

Baby!!!!!!!!

Too Cool for School

Blake's flashing is "check me out" pose. Isn't he the cutest preschooler you ever saw!?! In his first day of school outfit. He is all jazzed and ready to go to Three Peaks Preschool. He couldn't leave without putting on his cool shades. He is getting so big and hansome, I have to admit that I got a little emotional. No I did not cry (there's no crying in preschool!!) But after a great first day, I'm really excited for all the fun things Blake will get to do and learn.

Check out are back sides as we walk into school. Don't ya just love his backpack, cause he sure does!!

Here is Blake with his teacher Mrs. Carolyn. When Blake got home today he couldn't stop talking about all the fun things they did. I asked "did you have fun at school?" Blake's reply "YEAH". Then I asked,"did you color?" Blake "I draw'd a bee (we're not sure if he meant a bee or a B). Then he says "I had milk and cookies, and play'd and went down the slide"!!

Muscle Man

Blake had a growth spurt in his bicep area The two muscle men

Blakes Vacation Home

Blake calls this his "house"
And this is the "garage door"

Clover and I just found out that we are expecting our second little little monster. We haven't been to the doctor's yet but our new little baby should be due around St. Patricks Day. I guess I do have alittle Irish in me so why not:) And if you don't believe it then here is some proof for ya!!! Sorry the picture is alittle blurry.

I'm Lonely here!:)

Clover and Blake have been in Price this week visiting her family and I am ready for them to come home. It gets kind of lonely here in Cedar by myself. They make things exciting around here. Clover forgot the camera but she sent these pictures to me from her phone. Maybe when he comes home he will want to get in the big pool.

This is the only pool we can get Blake to want to get in. He sure is having fun with his cousin Kodi
Here are the little swimmers again. Look at the cheesers on both of these picks.

Blake's First Kite Flying Adventure

Here's a family photo. We had one with him picking his nose and one without. We chose the nose picker.

Spider-man, spider-man does whatever a spider can.
Our kite went down a couple of times. Here is Blake trekkin after it.
Blake didn't want to hold it at first but loved it after a while. He was a natural kite flyer.

Happy 4th of July

Because we are poor college students with a gas guzzeling SUV we stayed in Cedar City for the 4th of July weekend. I had a long 3-day weekend from work so we were able to experience Cedar City's festvities for once. We went to the parade on friday morning and We are going to have to say that we were alittle disappointed. There was only one float and it was decent to say the least. The night before I joked to Clover that we should just sleep in and skip the parade because it was going to be lame. By the end of the parade Clover was calling it lame too. To show you just how lame it was let me share a picture of one of the floats/entries of the parade.

Is that a FORD FOCUS? Is this really the kind of car you put in a parade? Needless to say there were some good moments from the parade and Blake had a good time and that's all that matters right? Here are some more pics of the parade. We watched the fireworks show but forgot to take the camera so we can't share any pics of the show but it was a great ending to a fun day. We hope everyone had a great 4th.

This was Blakes least favorite part of the Cedar City Parade. He hated the loud firetruck sirens and horns, luckily he enjoyed most of the rest of it.
I thought this was a pretty cool float, look at the detail on that thing!:)
Blake got a frisbee from Smokey the Bear.
This was a bedpan dance group from the hospital.
Blake had a much better view of the parade from on top of my shoulders, but getting candy was alittle tricky.

It was so stink'n hot at the park today, Blake says "Mom it's hot, hurt your hands"?

We are so lucky to have such a sweet lil' man. He is looking back to make sure I wasn't getting lost.

Blake and I had a fun day at the park, to bad dad has to work. I wonder what is going through Blake's head? Maybe "do I pee my pants now or later"!!

I realized that some may want to see what the new hair do looks like from the front. And since this is the only half decent photo of me, here ya go!!!

And here is the after.I wish I would have done this at the start of warmer

weather. It feels great!!!!

I just chopped off 12 inches of hair for Locks of Love. This is the before picture.

Fun Week in Star Valley

We decided to take a much needed week off and head on up to Star Valley to visit the fam. We got to be the first to stay in Grandma and Grandpa's new house in Fairview. It is such a beautiful home. Russ does some nice work. If we ever build a house we would want him to do it. On our way up there it snowed and we just about turned around and drove back to Cedar City:) We had a great time spending time with Grammy Carrie, Em, Russ, Brad and Lauren. We also got to spent some time with Grandma Delsa and Grandpa Kay and did the Sunday night get together that we miss soo much. Jake, Melissa, and Jason came up Thursday night and spent the rest of the weekend. We played alot of Wii and Catch Phrase. We love our family and are soo grateful to be a part of such a great group of people. Thanks to Grammy Carrie for letting us crash her new house. We love you.
