Weekend with Erica

I had a great time with Erica this weekend.. I bought her a little pool that she could sit in cause its been super hot.. well she thought it was alot funner to jump in, laugh, then jump out.. she wouldnt sit at in at all. It was so funny. I love this little girl so much.. My life could be turning upside down and when she looks at me and smile she makes everything bad go away.
She is growing up so fast. She is talking alot more now, picking up every word.. She knows my parents spoil her o death and always goes to them and say "candy".. its so cute..
even her tantrums are cute.. the other day she got mad at me because i wouldnt let her run in the street, so i took her inside and she was kicking and screaming, then she grabbed my neck and started to choke me.. i couldnt help but laugh because i know i have a long road ahead of me with this little girl.. I need to get supernanny's phone number. :-)
I want another baby so bad. Erica loves to play with kids and i know she would love to have a brother or sister to play with, but when the time is right, it might happen.
Erica, I love you so much baby girl.. Momma loves you.

Mothers Day

So, Today, Me, My mom, dad, and Erica took a drive up to Kolob Resevoir. It where my family always used to go to go hunting and fishing. It brought back alot of memories for my dad and even for me, from what i can remember. About 19 Years ago, My sister (who has passed away 15 years ago, when i was 8) and I, Carved our names on one of the Aspen trees. So we decided to look for it, and sure enough, it was still there.. you could barely make out Erica's name, but it was there. It kind of brought a tear to all of our eyes. My sister loved going up there all the time. And i could tell it was a little hard for my parents. But we plan on taking a little trip one day and do a whole day of fishing, probably without Erica because she just kept wanting to jump in the water and was getting so mad when we wouldnt let her. It would be good to get the family together and go fishing all day. I miss those times. So, despite all the other problems i have had today, i had a good mothers day and glad i got to spend it with the people who means the most to me.

Happy Mothers day Mom.. thanks for everything you have ever done for me!
