70th & 3rd Anniversary!

Today was mine & my grandparent's anniversary! Matt had class until 6:00 today so Joshua and I decided to go on a little road trip to Brigham. We went and put flower on my grandfather's grave to help celebrate his big day. The interesting thing about it was that as soon as I set Joshua down by the grave site he would not stop smiling. He was laughing and giggling as if I were tickling him. It was really neat and made me weepy.

I cried all the way to Brigham because I was thinking about past memories I had with my grandparents. I really miss you Quig! Thank you for being such great grandparents!

Sooooo CUUUUTTTEEE!

The flower I brought him and their special date.

I tried to take a picture of us laying down but as you can see Joshua didn't like the sun...even though it was overcast.

This one is by far my favorite. We had such a fun time!

That is what a 7 month old that weighs 20 lbs 4 oz looks like ;).

After Matt got home we went and ate at a local restaurant that has been around since 1914. Apparently it was the place to hang-out when my grandparents were in Logan. Once I was there I realized that I had been there before with my grandparents and parents. What a neat place! Matt & I enjoyed our steak and even got a free dessert! What a deal!

It doesn't even seem like we have been married for that long. So much has change and we have come so far! Our marriage is so strong and we are SOOO HAPPY! I have the best family!

6 Month Stats

weight: 19 lbs 14 oz
height: 27 ''

Just last week we had Joshua weighed again and he is 20 lbs 4 oz. He is getting so big so fast. He loves to walk around now and tries to get me to let go, as if he could walk by himself. He is such a stink! We love him and are enjoying every tear, smile, and dirty diaper ;).

He is sleeping better and seems to really like his new home at Utah State. Our third year anniversary is coming up so we will most definitely post some pics of our special day.

REAL Game, Weddings, & Move...

So this is kind of out of order but oh well. Joe & Michelle leaving the dinner. Leaving for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Erickson. Still weird but a good weird! We are so happy for them and love that we have a perfect couple to hang out with now at family functions. We only wish that Joe & Michelle will have a child soon so Joshua can have a playmate.

Dad watched Joshua all day! He finally went to sleep after a burning hot day at the temple. Joshua loves his daddy!

The happy couple! Finally coming out of the temple. It was weird seeing Joe kiss Michelle so many times that day...however, it would of been more weird if he had not. Congrats again Michelle & Joe!

Cute adore Saders! I love her!

Waiting outside in the heat for Joe & Michelle to come out! Joshua was not happy!

Daddy trying to get Joshua's mind off the heat.

At the REAL Salt Lake game with friends. It was such an exciting game but Joshua thought otherwise. He hated the loud noise and since REAL scored 4 times it was really hard for him to deal with the noise. He watched the fireworks just fine later after the game though.

Friends for life. Diana & I had so much fun at the game. It was so good to catch up with her.

Family spending time together. Joshua actually did great at the beginning. It wasn't until they scored that he freaked out.

The move to Utah State was chaotic! It was hard on all! I even got sick right after the move with an extremely high fever, so Matt took care of Joshua while I slept most of the day. It is so hot here but not nearly as hot as in Bountiful. I have realized that I was not meant to live in Utah during the summer. Hopefully Matt will get an internship somewhere cold during next summer so I don't have to worry about the heat anymore.

Latest news on Joshua. Did I mention he is allergic to Milk! What a joke for me! I love Cheese, Ice cream, and most dairy products. I have had to cut out all diary from my diet and it has been rough. Joshua is loving to walk (with assistance) around his new home and loves his bouncer. He now prefers to sleep on his stomach and we are grateful because he is starting to sleep longer than he ever has. Maybe he will start sleeping through the night...one can only hope.
