Back in August Brianna and I went to see Little Mermaid (live theatre.) A long time friend of mine was playing the part of Ariel, so you can imagine how excited I was to see her playing a lead role in a Broadway production. More importantly though, it was Brianna's first experience with live theatre! I was so proud of her. She did great! I thought she would have to get up every thirty seconds to pee or cry or whatever, but she was so enthralled and in awe over it all that she didn't budge! She even got to meet my friend Sierra after the show, but she wasn't wearing her Ariel costume, so Nana didn't even know it was who she saw on stage! She was so excited to go and as you can see, she wore her Ariel Halloween costume. I kept over-hearing people saying how cute she was. That's my girl!!

So...we all know that I am exceptionally behind in blogging pictures and fun info. As such, I will attempt a quick recap of the last 8 or so months so bear with me!!

Thanks to Sammy for getting me a cute background. I'm off again for a while so hopefully I'll blog something...but don't count on it. I am obviously horrible at it and plain just don't have ANY time!

We got Nana and Bentley in
on the BMX action too!!

The boys both got new BMX bikes! They love to go to Wheel Park together! Like father like son.

Flanders the salamander

This is the newest edition to our family. I found him in the church parking lot and I couldn't just leave him!

The Princess Party

Nana finally got to have a party for her fourth birthday, that was a month and a half ago. I'm such a slacker mom! It was a hit! All the girls,(from left to right) Tori, Lily, Nana and Snowfie, wore their best ball gowns and were treated like the princesses that they are. They were so cute! They played pin the kiss on the frog prince, which you can kinda see behind them, they made pretty water bracelets and they ate a dessert, fit for royalty, of cake and pink lemonade in beautiful plastic goblets!! Nana loved it! Her bestest friends, princess dresses and pink cake, does it get any better??!!

We went to Tiny Town with Grandpa Lucas a day or two ago. The kids had never been and boy were they excited when they discovered a town smaller than them! That my friends, doesn't happen too often for the Lucas/Erickson's!!!

All was well when we left the hospital. This is Blake after 5 and a half hours in the emergency room, getting poked and peeled, four popsicles, several episodes of Sponge Bob Square Pants, 12 cc's of tylenol with codine, two teddy bears, a VERY cool hospital gown and a partridge in a pear tree! I got one little tough boy!

Fireman Blake!!

We had an accident on our family camping trip recently and my bubba Blake fell into the campfire! It was one of my scariest "mommy moments" so far. We were in Dillon and we went to St. Anthony's in Frisco. They were wonderful!! I was a very brave mommy/nurse! I helped the nurse do some pretty gross things in that emergency room that night! YIKES!
