Please don't fire me....

Well here it is almost 11pm and I've decided to start writing on my blog before I get fired from those who like to read about me and my crazy family. I'm not gonna write much but just a quick summary to what is to come.....

Here is the past week and half in a nutshell.
-I resigned from my position at the bank. My last day is a little less than a month away. For those that don't know...my new job.....Stay at home Mom~
-The girls picked out their halloween costumes and of course I didn't win. I will post pictures tomorrow of what the final outcome was.
-Went to a pumpkin patch today and we all had a blast. Here are a couple pictures of what the day consisted of.
-Olivia had her last soccer game today! I told her I would give her $1 if she scored a goal....well.....the girl kicked the ball from midfield on one kick and was about 3 inches from going into the goal. She went ahead and asked her daddy if she could still have the dollar. I'm pretty sure we are going to give it to her. :)

Talk to you all later. I'm one tired momma and need my beauty sleep! :)

The big debate....

The big debate in the house right now is what in the world the kiddos are going to be for Halloween. I of course want one thing and I keep being told "I don't really wanna be that." I want to dress the three littlest ones as the three little pigs, but I think I'm slowly by surely losing that battle. Wait a minute....who gets to make decisions in the house??? Apparently the 4 year old!

For those of you who didn't know, my dad was back in the hospital. :( Hopefully after his "procedure" today he will be able to go home tomorrow and continue to again hit the recovery road. Your thoughts and prayers continue to be beneficial in his healing process and we appreciate them more than you will ever know.

Taylor competed on Saturday in the NFL Punt Pass and Kick competition and well....this year didn't take us near as far as years past. We are VERY proud of her for getting out there and giving it her best. We just know now that we are competing with the "big" girls in this age group and need to start eating our wheaties and lifiting weights!

Anna Grace is rolling like CRAZY!! The little thing is everywhere if I would let her. I put her down on her back and in about .2 seconds she is on her belly ready to keep going. WOW! Time flies...she is 19 weeks old today. Corey decided to bring it to my attention today that next August Olivia will be walking down the hall going to Kindergarten. OK...that made me tear up. Can't imagine what the real deal will be like. My girls are growing up so fast.

Reese and Olivia are just doing their own things lately. Reese is loving school. She literally goes running in her classroom every morning without even looking back. It's bittersweet in a way. We have parent/teacher conferences tomorrow and Wednesday to find out how they are doing. This should be interesting. I will let you all know later how that went for us.

Well Anna Grace is squaking....better get off here and go take care of my baby girl.

Can't get behind....

Ok!! So I've decided that I'm not very good at keeping up with this blog stuff and I really need to a better job and get my blog game on.

Well here goes the last week.....

Anna Grace got baptized last Sunday! It was wonderful. My parents made the trip up from Texas and Corey's parents made the trip down from Michigan. Lots of family and a house full of people. It was great that my dad was able to come up....especially after all of the "stuff" that happened in August. He didn't feel well at all while he was here, but he is one devoted papa and said he wouldn't miss it.

The only other crazy thing that happened this week was the wonderful Tornado Warning we had last night. We of course had no idea it was going on until Taylor called us and told us to watch the weather. Once we turned it on we realized very quickly that we were under a tornado warning and better get our booties to a safe spot. So Sabrina, Olivia, Reese, Anna Grace and me all piled into the smallest bathroom in the house and chilled out. I held Anna Grace and read books to Olivia and Reese. Wish I would have taken a picture. I'm sure it was quite comical seeing us all piled in the bathroom. Thank goodness there wasn't a tornado and we all survived.

Taylor has her next level of competition with the Punt Pass and Kick. She and Corey will be traveling to Paris Arkansas in the morning to test out her kicks, punts and throws. GOOD LUCK TAY! Just have fun. For those of you who don't know....Taylor has won the past 2 years and has gone to compete at the New Orleans Saints game as well as the Tennessee Titans. She was the Tennessee Titans champion last year. One competivite little chica I must say.

Big Day coming up...

Happy 4 month Birthday Anna Grace!!!

We have a big day coming up in the Erickson house!! Anna Grace is getting baptized on Sunday and she will have lots of people joining her on her special day. Her Memaw and Papa from Texas are making the trip up here from Texas. This is a pretty big deal for us!! We are so glad that Dad is feeling as well as he his to make the trip.

Corey's parents are also going to be making the trip down here from Michigan. This is going to be their first time to meet their newest granddaughter and I know they are thrilled.

Not much else is going on in our neck of the woods. Enjoy the latest pictures.
