Easter Pictures of Erik

Here are Erik's Easter pictures. There is a picture of decorating cookies at Aunt Susie's Easter Party for the kids. There is a picture of Erik coloring Easter eggs at home.There is a "Easter Picture" that I took of Erik in our yard in front of the azaleas. He was in a funny mood when I took those. He didn't want to look at the camera. He is holding the Thomas the Train that he got in his Easter basket, and he kept asking to go eat M & M's in these pictures (as he calls them MMs). There is also a picture of Erik hunting Easter eggs at Nana's.

Happy Easter

Before Erik got sick this weekend, we went to the Bass Pro Shop for the Easter Egg Hunt. Erik had a blast. He thought it was great that there was candy in the eggs. He also won a little bathtub safe book about the characters from the movie Cars.

Here's a picture of us with the Easter Bunny (Erik wouldn't sit in his lab or go up there by himself - so it's a family pic.).

Pics of Camping Trip

Erik's First Camping Trip

We took Erik camping for the first time. We had lots of fun. Erik loved being outside the entire time. He especially loved eating outside and going to the petting zoo. We camped with Todd's sister Lori and her family. Erik was so impressed because Lori (he calls her Aunt LeeLee) gave him a cookie. He, a week later, is still talking about that cookie.

I am going to try to upload one of those slide shows with some pictures. Let's see if I can do it.

Valentine's Day

I had such a nice surprise for Valentine's Day. Todd and Erik brought me breakfast in bed. I had eggs, toast, and orange juice. It was really nice.

Merry Christmas, Et. Al.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Erik was so fun this year. He would open a present and get so involved playing with it that he would be too busy to open any other presents. It was really cute and so refreshing because he was greatful for his present and not coveting another.

How do people find time for hobbies. I thought I would have time to blog (quick easy hobby), but goodness - I can't find time to do anything other than work and housework. Oh well.

For those of you who were following the weight loss contest at work - I didn't win. I came in second place. I think if I had lost another half pound I would have tied for first. So, no spending money for me. I had fun though. I understand that we are doing it again in January.

I have decided to have surgery for sleep apnea on Jan. 16th. I am not doing everything that the docs recommended for me. The moving of the jaws seems a little extreme to me. So, I will be having my deviated septum fixed, my tonsils removed, and my palate trimmed. Then I have to have another sleep study to see if it helped. I am really hoping that it fixes it enough because jaw surgery is not really what I want to do. I am not looking forward to the surgery, though. It sounds really painful.

I hope to be able to do some shopping with my mom before I have to go back to work.

I am also hoping to buy a laundry basket and make a cute liner for it for a toy basket.

I hope Erik doesn't have a hard time going back to school.
