"Parent Confrences"

This weekend we took the opportunity to go to Orcus Island, one of the San Jan Islands during Parent Conferences, we were let out of school early! We drove four hours then took a ferry to the Island! We stayed in a State park called "Moran State Park" in a vacation house for two nights ! It was very fun we had lots of fun experiences! We did a long hike up to a waterfall, we went canoeing on the lake, and lots of fun fire time! I hope we can go there again in the summer!

Stanford "birthday present"

Mom and Dad at the game!

The tree in the background is the mascot for Stanford, apparently every time the band would start playing the tree would start dancing really crazy!

The Band!

For my moms birthday my dad decided to take my mom to a Stanford football game! Meanwhile we played at our friends' houses! Sounds like they had a pretty fun yet crazy time!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My dad & Audrey decided to decorate the whole kitchen pink with streamers, balloons, & flowers!

Someones excited for their birthday!

Potato Post

Audrey digging potatoes

Our biggest potato so far!

Our smallest Potato (in Audrey's hand)

Our stake president asked every member to plant a garden. So, we decided to plant potatoes. Now we aren't farmers or anything. We didn't know when to dig up the potatoes. After a few weeks we started digging up potatoes! Then we waited because they were really small! And now we are getting bigger potatoes and eat them a lot!

I like potatoes!

Decorations

My mom had a designer come into our house and help us pick out some decorations for our house!

The real Brandon Erickson

Serious!

The Blog Switch

As you may know my mom first started this blog but for some reason, busy probably decided she just did not have time to blog. Mean while I wanted to do a blog, so my mom gave the blog to me! So I now do all the posts and the little pictures and stuff! I hope you like it! -Emma!

General Conferance

I hope you guys all enjoyed the wonderful sessions of General Conference! I know we did ! We plan on going to general conference this coming spring for my twelfth birthday! My favorite talks were by the prophet Thomas S. Monson! We also enjoyed our tradition of eating homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We also took turns taking notes on talks all through the conference!

Utah

Cabin

Bruce at dinner

Camp Fire Dinner

Camp Sight View

My mom, dad, brother and sister all went to Utah. While they were there my mom ran in the "Top of Utah" marathon with her sister Kathy! My dad also went to a BYU football game! Meanwhile, Bruce and Audrey stayed with cousins! And through this whole thing I stayed home with a friend, because they drove half way one day, drove the rest of the way the next day, stayed for one day then drove all the way back on Sunday, which to me sounds just plain crazy! And on the night of their first day of driving they went camping together in a cabin in Farewell Bend State park!

Mom and Dad in Maine

In August, we went to my Dad's parents house on Hayden Lake, Idaho. While we were there my Aunt Dallas and Uncle Harry got sealed in the temple! Also we had a mini show for every one, in which we sang a few patriotic songs and the primary song "I love to see the temple". And for about half of the trip my parent's went to Maine for my Dad's 20 year high school reunion!!
