This attitude however did not form on her own or over night. Who says the Wii is a waste of time?...Zoie is learning some of life's lessons through this fine piece of equipment! In the beginning the question was, "did you win" and if you did...all cheers! If you lost, Zoie was disappointed "awww you lost"? We figured this was not a healthy practice for such a small person. Rob has cut back his passion and intensity to win (at least when Zoie is involved) and we've realized that the Wii is just for fun! I would say that we are all happy with this conclusion. Much family bonding has come watching daddy score a perfect score on the heading, watching Zoie run like the wind (her personal favorite) and watching Ava block the tv (or catch the fish)...my personal favorite is the hula hoop in case you were interested! "Wii" are even working on being "Fit" in the mornings!Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-72626271755039606692009-02-26T17:58:00.000-08:002009-02-26T18:06:48.178-08:00Music Time!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistFE9N17H997PNJHfgXYMXi_upggnFCA3Cu6-9bEZgPkZvqowOH146REMx4uuowtDszmVq2HsZQ_4nZpXxIIcbmNus74TJx11-U_srLcInRossvAYGWHXkP9iK5Sdg3pkyG3UqPSSDWA/s1600-h/IMG_0360+edit+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEistFE9N17H997PNJHfgXYMXi_upggnFCA3Cu6-9bEZgPkZvqowOH146REMx4uuowtDszmVq2HsZQ_4nZpXxIIcbmNus74TJx11-U_srLcInRossvAYGWHXkP9iK5Sdg3pkyG3UqPSSDWA/s320/IMG_0360+edit+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292818294290338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwCJA_2rkskeCrQT-OiInaV_87r35qOD0YMj4_1Afq5OjvmRmQQ57uqqrSq5uNKnwTQe3OcVUNpjh8nWjOTYEaDMZO13axMUoHkbUYQhcvRbTarfldAbIPkN7NI-ooKiwAHvJ_dwju2Y/s1600-h/IMG_0369+words+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWwCJA_2rkskeCrQT-OiInaV_87r35qOD0YMj4_1Afq5OjvmRmQQ57uqqrSq5uNKnwTQe3OcVUNpjh8nWjOTYEaDMZO13axMUoHkbUYQhcvRbTarfldAbIPkN7NI-ooKiwAHvJ_dwju2Y/s320/IMG_0369+words+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292713976498114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7hwhIpMezw83rMmBb-QmFRo2ioYPtkaWbrzNEmdlSnRR2EUJ9X80AN8M-8Afzf0karjL4LSXsZmp79GqOMxrAopebOo-CGrUeduc0FUWR_v0bVF3U-I_M5PlpvzWh45KoHk9CECORcYI/s1600-h/lalala+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7hwhIpMezw83rMmBb-QmFRo2ioYPtkaWbrzNEmdlSnRR2EUJ9X80AN8M-8Afzf0karjL4LSXsZmp79GqOMxrAopebOo-CGrUeduc0FUWR_v0bVF3U-I_M5PlpvzWh45KoHk9CECORcYI/s320/lalala+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292574959978354" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-pVgslBTg6zT74HoOZslWa1XdYMIdHMDBU_21yvQuAev9Ch67Sp-pWAKnFXnQFLW6gDqjWBOi82F6ASJt8oi4r1b0gF0de87p8qH4SuB7zajAf7_DOEf0u18Iwec_OaKUehY2LN4sBY/s1600-h/IMG_0390+edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg-pVgslBTg6zT74HoOZslWa1XdYMIdHMDBU_21yvQuAev9Ch67Sp-pWAKnFXnQFLW6gDqjWBOi82F6ASJt8oi4r1b0gF0de87p8qH4SuB7zajAf7_DOEf0u18Iwec_OaKUehY2LN4sBY/s320/IMG_0390+edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292424951835922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRJ2YdCK7p39e8h8nW_yIhp3laK1XlUj8FeUEGJu9oi7jdE7sYHcWIXy6bKJWamtK7Eew61YOQIaN3CvS8R97vUZUMRfxEQLPMUsKcVBRxg1IX4GGZgAbBAZcpiCEYQql4Ak245Z9mFA/s1600-h/IMG_0383+edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRJ2YdCK7p39e8h8nW_yIhp3laK1XlUj8FeUEGJu9oi7jdE7sYHcWIXy6bKJWamtK7Eew61YOQIaN3CvS8R97vUZUMRfxEQLPMUsKcVBRxg1IX4GGZgAbBAZcpiCEYQql4Ak245Z9mFA/s320/IMG_0383+edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292293586626402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcRrfutRbzoFEi8qNa1Cl7HJwLg38jnS_rQdcrBCyU2SP5aVvjWpCk-zjsOia3gOKlERCriJO_7MO6CoX4JcvxkXCNMkk51fjIQo6jqHRHknJoDJgwfr7kHOdl_FIr9CiPHNAwjKOqcQ/s1600-h/march+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMcRrfutRbzoFEi8qNa1Cl7HJwLg38jnS_rQdcrBCyU2SP5aVvjWpCk-zjsOia3gOKlERCriJO_7MO6CoX4JcvxkXCNMkk51fjIQo6jqHRHknJoDJgwfr7kHOdl_FIr9CiPHNAwjKOqcQ/s320/march+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307292189999176098" border="0" /></a><br />So, as you can see...the girls <span style="font-size:100%;">TOTALLY</span> <span style="font-size:100%;">love going to Ms. Robyn & Ms. Kate's music time! We have been going for a while now. It is sooooo nice of them to do this for everyone: singing, marching, stories, dancing, & snack! Ava knows what to do, she has the whole routine down, she gets her own instrument and marches on her own even! It is fun to have this special activity on Wednesday mornings! Zoie is always asking is it preschool today? If the answer is no then, is it music class today?

My parents came (& their dogs) & so did my Aunt Stephanie with her 3 kids : Issac, Olivia, & James...Zoie loves every chance she gets to play with them! <br />We took a special Amtrak ride to Hanford (which is where my mom was born) and walked to Superior Dairy to have ice cream.

Even more funny was that Zoie was in the baby toy. This was a complete role reversal...I couldn't help but grab the camera to capture the moment!<br /><br />The last couple of weeks really have been big for Ava! She started to crawl the "regular way", got her first tooth (and is working on her second), and can pull herself up to stand next to anything!

I think I must get it from my mom, she goes all out decorating and it happens to be her Birthday! I have had a lot of fun crafting with my mom and some friends lately. I took some pictures of some of the fun things we have done. Lot's of glitter... it is becoming an obsession! Our silhouettes (at the top of our blog) are new for Halloween too! It has been a lot of fun and I think Zoie loves it too!Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-40487796561404768842008-10-13T22:40:00.000-07:002008-10-13T22:44:33.743-07:00Pumpkin Patch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1BqHSz2ZQYJfRuFky_vXnz-7jxQTwo3f7TpNq0_QG_4_H5lcQ64ImtlMgPyllDga2KLOevl34CkkBgBKBxIKa0nXU4U8bI7er1trwFk1pvgUhTVFssqY4T7-IXzkC3_U9HGD-Ty4MKQ/s1600-h/Pumkin+patch+105+edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1BqHSz2ZQYJfRuFky_vXnz-7jxQTwo3f7TpNq0_QG_4_H5lcQ64ImtlMgPyllDga2KLOevl34CkkBgBKBxIKa0nXU4U8bI7er1trwFk1pvgUhTVFssqY4T7-IXzkC3_U9HGD-Ty4MKQ/s400/Pumkin+patch+105+edit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256881336227186754" border="0" /></a><br />So, while I am at it I may as well keep adding. We went to the pumpkin patch last week with Zoie's preschool. Mimi came along which was such a big help, couldn't have survived without her! We all had such a great time. We saw the pig race, road the train, took the tractor to choose our pumpkins, ate yummy treats, and slid down the slides...now who wouldn't love that?

I had been wanting to shave my head for about the past year. Every once in awhile, I would test Lindsey to see what she thought about me shaving it all off. And every time she would say, "No, you still have a lot of hair."<br /><br />The perfect opportunity finally arrived in mid-June. We were at the Baddley's house and it was late; late enough that reason had already left for the night. So in an attempt to do something fun, I suggested that they shave my head. I was half-joking, trying again to test Lindsey. But this time she said yes, and surprised me by throwing the ball back into my court. Up until now, I had just said that I wanted to shave my head, but now it was serious and I was hesitating. It took much persuasion from Steve, Sara, Jeff and Kate to convince me that it would look good - and that I would look like Michael Scofield. While they were being very kind, and in all fairness to Michael Scofield, I look nothing like him - more like Donny Osmond with a shaved head.<br /><br />This is a decision that I haven't regretted. I really like my new "hair-style". It took a few days for me to grow a liking to it - it took Lindsey and the girls a few weeks, but they came around. So much thanks to Steve, Sara, Jeff and Kate for making me a little bit rock 'n roll.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXzrzu2yZnjwrhsqH56dis7mldaDus3wmLOxX2YVW7X4teq0G_46J1LqHD8iUqLBblusN9zgiEgytaeygiLa0h6pW93iyoDWidBXvwLUNMbhnQFRu2m1Zrcwl7NiAaux-9RX4e1VywEAA/s1600-h/Rob's+Haircut+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXzrzu2yZnjwrhsqH56dis7mldaDus3wmLOxX2YVW7X4teq0G_46J1LqHD8iUqLBblusN9zgiEgytaeygiLa0h6pW93iyoDWidBXvwLUNMbhnQFRu2m1Zrcwl7NiAaux-9RX4e1VywEAA/s400/Rob's+Haircut+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235539117978390306" border="0" /></a>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-87021010983424873512008-06-23T12:27:00.000-07:002008-06-23T12:45:13.187-07:00Camp FarwestWe had such a great time with families from our ward. We celebrated Sara Baddley's 30th Birthday...they planned the whole thing and brought their boat. It was so nice. Zoie loved being with her friends. She also loved hanging out in the tent. I had to keep reminding her "go play!" Rob and the other husbands were so macho and swam across the lake and back. Rob hurt his leg on a rock and barely made it back. It was cute to see all the kids all excited when the daddy's got back! The ladies went out and Sara drove the boat while we went wakeboarding. Everyone got up and we had so much fun together! Way to go girls! There were a lot of kids and they all had a blast together- swimming, digging in the dirt, eating, exploring, and even boating! Rob threw Zoie on the tube (against her will) with Baysia and Mariah. She didn't like it at first but then enjoyed it and felt like one of the big kids! On our way home...Rob was offered his new job which was so exciting and such a relief. This really was a great little get away!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDUOwaTqKWXa4SRQKqKClXHJWDURKQpOo_K-iZm1tpX1Yw3f_Br5axjNfoFxMrykVGtgEp-8KWNcCJQ6qGkpnBdM5PCzCETuBxWQNF0gCWfr-dU8gzoVizJqV-UwZSNXd3Kj3xTa-CaGU/s1600-h/Camp+Farwest+156+edit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Zoie loves it and would wants to match Ava (or me) every day! Thanks Mommy Pam! This should be the first of many twin pictures they will take together! Rob was so sweet and came home with gifts for each of his girls- a cute dress for Ava, a Disney princess beach bag for Zo, and a couple of cute things for me from Forever 21. Not that we want him to leave more often, but we sure did like our gifts! Ha Ha! Zoie told me "I want my daddy!" He is such a great dad! All his girls love him!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDTiUNJY86HOB-ps2YaMrS9PuasohtGcKOQUhQgzsYfGExqMFcZ82bm3mCGY9DYL1lNYYEfA-ZeLc1wPSkaDrFewYBqzUmlF7Auv9PjmbHPXab3D5KBru4DA298K29sMcSPWEO2N1sT0/s1600-h/Cinco+de+Mayo+129+edit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199370775628663202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDTiUNJY86HOB-ps2YaMrS9PuasohtGcKOQUhQgzsYfGExqMFcZ82bm3mCGY9DYL1lNYYEfA-ZeLc1wPSkaDrFewYBqzUmlF7Auv9PjmbHPXab3D5KBru4DA298K29sMcSPWEO2N1sT0/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+129+edit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWzwZ2HoNaqlvFC3S_xaKsIcuycXuRD1v33Si-Kh1Nwk2E2r3IAy7i99FXDCwlcS5GH5gV5zfDgMNh-Umc17TywDoUGWOB_lQ9niv1bcTZVHJ1VPIjvGx06Yms7RLsCN5Lu2rBUwR7EDc/s1600-h/Cinco+de+Mayo+115+edit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199370638189709714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWzwZ2HoNaqlvFC3S_xaKsIcuycXuRD1v33Si-Kh1Nwk2E2r3IAy7i99FXDCwlcS5GH5gV5zfDgMNh-Umc17TywDoUGWOB_lQ9niv1bcTZVHJ1VPIjvGx06Yms7RLsCN5Lu2rBUwR7EDc/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+115+edit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-12933519183079965142008-05-11T22:58:00.000-07:002008-05-11T23:11:55.702-07:00Happy Cinco de Mayo!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199368997512202562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCfejkjkyUI/AAAAAAAAAI4/HpTl4Ts4CaU/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+005.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCffFEjkyXI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/i5p0ppRDBeo/s1600-h/Cinco+de+Mayo+035.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199369573037820274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCffFEjkyXI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/i5p0ppRDBeo/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+035.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199369701886839170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCffMkjkyYI/AAAAAAAAAJY/00PUjm89ExI/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+036.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCfe40jkyWI/AAAAAAAAAJI/JrcbCALT-XA/s1600-h/Cinco+de+Mayo+052.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199369362584422754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCfe40jkyWI/AAAAAAAAAJI/JrcbCALT-XA/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+052.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCfewUjkyVI/AAAAAAAAAJA/c3RWiO5MzTs/s1600-h/Cinco+de+Mayo+058.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199369216555534674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/SCfewUjkyVI/AAAAAAAAAJA/c3RWiO5MzTs/s320/Cinco+de+Mayo+058.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>Thanks to our fun friends, I had my first fun Cinco de Mayo ever! We went to a park and had fun hanging out together. We all brought different things to share and it was really yummy! The kids loved going on the Baddley's new water slide. How fun! Zoie had noticed the pile-up that tended to happen at te bottom and was trying to avoid it at all costs! Poor Zoie is already very cautious like me! She did discover that it was fun for Rob to throw her on the bottom half of the slide. It was hilarious watching her scramble so quickly to get off. Zoie had fun in her own little way and especially loved playing at the park with her friends! Thanks Steve & Sara!</div></div></div></div></div>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-6960270914493930172008-05-11T22:26:00.000-07:002008-05-11T22:39:05.287-07:00Zoie's "Work"So Zoie has been "working" for almost a full year now! It has been a lot of fun! She is practically retired now because in most print modeling they skip 2T. Thank goodness for Zoie's sake she is almost fully grown out of 18 to 24 month size! GAP has really liked Zoie and actually use size 2T. They have been so good to her. This was from her fourth GAP shoot and she has one more after this that hasn't been released yet. They are so sweet to her when she goes and they all know her by name. Zoie loves her "work" and is so cooperative there. It cracks me up how well she follows their directions! It has also turned out to be a good way for her to meet cute boys! You can't tell from the pictures below. But at every GAP shoot she has taken pictures with little boys! It is so cute! <br /><br />GAP.com<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEvw77hWH1l3FyxK-2CRZgSxsa5-E81qR8FvqTBGE-xwXt4ppjZwslHS7_sVRfnyMiDIqSxE8wIuRqqkVUfLaPaKhLXMTLuPDdd9ZededgRNMn66ByXx1P0w23yZliGjsqdas3IomHpWk/s1600-h/gap-tropical+blues+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199358912928991522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEvw77hWH1l3FyxK-2CRZgSxsa5-E81qR8FvqTBGE-xwXt4ppjZwslHS7_sVRfnyMiDIqSxE8wIuRqqkVUfLaPaKhLXMTLuPDdd9ZededgRNMn66ByXx1P0w23yZliGjsqdas3IomHpWk/s320/gap-tropical+blues+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5bt3zV0cBw7AV12HOS7YKavKwdIBDy0XH6ETJixxYFUmoRU7ZajIGB6Y8FuPEiXEOXVKVChsUQndDDQPXLITP1ssNIw8MhIJEA0K96zWVhh-q9xqDtV0mhxwzsg8bhTGVWsFvczGV9w/s1600-h/blues+main_girls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199358805554809106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5bt3zV0cBw7AV12HOS7YKavKwdIBDy0XH6ETJixxYFUmoRU7ZajIGB6Y8FuPEiXEOXVKVChsUQndDDQPXLITP1ssNIw8MhIJEA0K96zWVhh-q9xqDtV0mhxwzsg8bhTGVWsFvczGV9w/s320/blues+main_girls.jpg" border="0" /></a> Old Navy.com<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199358998828337458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvtSAHiGWIHFmZynfcR15ZtdR1w0P34wuKD5NayQW01Ia1m4s6qcW8yYmg7ce8uUubUEii0qFwsntl5OV5lpK7eZbbViqxCfyz8LJWXZS1lQ8IKS_U_rCJ12GbafOVuzPRzZvqKFlHvQg/s320/Old+Navy+2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-41433124699286239652008-04-27T19:38:00.000-07:002008-04-27T20:40:26.900-07:00Another Photo Shoot (or 3)So I am pretty lucky to have a daughter like Zoie. She is a girly-girl who loves to dress up and loves to take pictures! I have trained her well from the time she was little. What would I do without her? I get so happy when I get a cute picture of her. I love this one. It was last Sunday after church. She was especially in a modeling mood and was striking poses on her own. We had her hair in 2 french braids all day Saturday so she could have crimpy hair for church! This was also her new dress that she couldn't wait to wear! I know she is mine so I am bias..but isn't she so cute?<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB05ULbRSloEqn5mC-A8AvmAuqUMZpjrVjElLjWRWCMwHGKzFC4L9_DFmFFPeKgcBjFh0V9owyhPL1yBQ8GvRjwPNX9g2tQr6MIvrgk_U5P6pfzLmGy6C-Lklo_AKZLgCvCLm8d2a9D0U/s1600-h/girlies+001+edit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194120382008954338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB05ULbRSloEqn5mC-A8AvmAuqUMZpjrVjElLjWRWCMwHGKzFC4L9_DFmFFPeKgcBjFh0V9owyhPL1yBQ8GvRjwPNX9g2tQr6MIvrgk_U5P6pfzLmGy6C-Lklo_AKZLgCvCLm8d2a9D0U/s320/girlies+001+edit.jpg" border="0" /></a> Ok, so photo shoot #2 was yesterday morning. I got the photo shoot bug again. I started with Ava because she was in a really great mood and because it had been too long since I had taken cute pictures of her. So, she was all dressed and I took her to the backyard with her Bumbo. Look how thrilled she was! </div><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194122666931555826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbyHfPQC5NcmSGmBoMXsGzBATRkilyKdC6Vio_2xTfoux212YnrDh4qbp9rZSjHjlRXZ1X9ot3Vr0QCIcEZxMMUZP0esP6VZ6zDnJqY7_0MjOLR4fFGJSc9qVfIX9Pos0qcQUpKPvGvkY/s320/girlies+034.jpg" border="0" />Ok, so she was giving me her crazy scowl!

The funny thing is that she tells people this ALL the time whenever anyone asks how old Ava is!</div><div></div><div>Zoie's party was definitely exciting. We enjoyed gathering all of her princess and prince friends. They were all so cute and seemed to enjoy themselves (especially the girls). I went all out as usual and Rob was definitely ready for me to stop talking about, shopping for, and crafting for the party! At least he makes a super girl dad and helped out where I needed. He frosted the entire cake and helped in its construction and of course helped to setup the party! What a good sport!</div><div></div><div>Here's a few of the party's activities: hair and makeup station, ribbon tiaras, necklace making, rings, pin the crown on the prince/pin the slipper on Cinderella, duck duck goose with a magic wand, and more. We had a lot of fun and I loved it...oh and I think Zoie did too!<br /></div><div></div></div>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-87610564342454217772008-03-27T16:35:00.000-07:002008-03-27T16:58:17.164-07:00We recently traveled to Utah to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday. 90 years is an impressive milestone. It was great to see all of my cousins and their families. It's amazing how quickly a family can grow. My grandparents have 5 children, 27 grandchildren, and 47 great-grandchildren. It was a lot of fun.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182570131887161330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUNVPYAbSfFKbxuiBv43j8RWcUGpqpsIidX_yYNTBOno2Q6h0CtrkPWTpgvyJKNV4k5zGmP1VaT9xVaAE1N8GONbCFgEwhtRi3x_LfaNpJvFSmTngJqM0UEHxreUfrmyFzK7C85zv0Jk/s320/Utah-+March+2008+275.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>While in Utah, we got to go horse riding with Auntie La-La's boyfriend, Daniel and his family. The kids had a lot of fun, even Zoie, who at one point almost fell off the pony. Thanks mom for catching her. I can't say that I'm much of a horse rider, but I am more so than Lindsey. The funniest moment was when I first got on the horse and after I got settled in the saddle, I asked La-La, "Okay, so now what do I do?" She told me to kick the horse and go. It had been awhile since I had been on a horse. Thanks to Daniel and his parents; we all had a great time, even with the falling snow.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182571910003621890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIM8NvwZat-GFv6wZw-jFNGVdXDJeS4T0T0BUxkma57FHSDWtXN-MV4bv0QJuZzx-AI9PXw4kdSkNaPqrjx2foDl5OHkxy7SUEnrcmj9cgzhjJMAOIhpy6XYTL-0HMGPWwYV3Ns46PFSU/s320/Utah-+March+2008+318.jpg" border="0" />Lindsey likes to dress up young kids in costumes and take their pictures. Too bad for the nephews, because that's cruel. (It's probably more cruel that I'm posting it). Watch out for Jace, he may have enjoyed it a little too much. Hopefully this won't have long-lasting effects on them. No - it won't. It was all done in fun, especially for the mom and dad's to laugh at their boys. Way to be good sports Jace & Crew. </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182574121911779346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU4IqtoHjAXq_9BBtf369djPF6SSvfQmN7LM97gKbuJKWaLEdLo2EZd4PL1hb0gnWZYOfBOZKQm2STv4PeXBm8zSEDeu-DYkEssIHczZ7KEocN8ZV3hDFFuCVtO3dPEeTiRdaRE_siT6I/s320/Utah-+March+2008+331.jpg" border="0" /><br /></p><p></p>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-65858160745730469462008-03-19T08:07:00.000-07:002008-03-19T08:18:17.141-07:00<div><a href="http://boe.berk.k12.wv.us/217/images/greenegg.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://boe.berk.k12.wv.us/217/images/greenegg.gif" border="0" /></a>Zoie is my little book worm. Lately Zoie and I have been on a Dr. Seuss kick. Zoie loves books and she is doing really well at reading. If I read the first few words of the sentence, she will finish it. We start by reading Green Eggs and Ham. Usually she can make it through the whole book, but occasionally because she is so tired she falls asleep reading. Her eyes are shut but she keeps finishing the sentences, although her speech becomes slow and slurred. It really is cute. Most of the time however she makes it through this book and then we move on to Hop on Pop. She has yet to make it all the way through this one, which makes it nice, because when you want her to sleep, read a book with her.<br /><p align="left"><a href="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/039480029X.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/039480029X.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif" border="0" /></a></p></div>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893800335683717042.post-7786527868926039042008-03-12T20:55:00.000-07:002008-04-28T08:46:07.184-07:00<div align="left">This past weekend was Ava's blessing. It was so nice of my family to drive the long drive from Utah to be here with us. We had fun going to Claim Jumper and Chevy's for dinner and taking the kids to Fairytale Town. It was so nice to have so many family members and friends to join us in this special occasion. Lindsey did a great job of coordinating everything; the food, clothes, and making Ava's bracelet. Lindsey was quick to tell me that a blessing bracelet is an essential part of the outfit. I don't get it.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_SfS2meADm6uAjN9YlM_HSOYH14DUO7H-RpStT4z-F6ra6gyvMJ3pXOZ-UN3l2IErsliimHNyZ_bbjRRqTKzw2rl_h7mHonLFPUPObo1xZARAtZNFDjCTZf9fKXT7R2H7ws909odfJo/s1600-h/March+2008+448.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177075475759501602" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_SfS2meADm6uAjN9YlM_HSOYH14DUO7H-RpStT4z-F6ra6gyvMJ3pXOZ-UN3l2IErsliimHNyZ_bbjRRqTKzw2rl_h7mHonLFPUPObo1xZARAtZNFDjCTZf9fKXT7R2H7ws909odfJo/s400/March+2008+448.jpg" border="3" /></a><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/R9irw0QIETI/AAAAAAAAAD8/5UwC5i7NtME/s1600-h/March+2008+582.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177076626810736946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_GhZzK1pGzv0/R9irw0QIETI/AAAAAAAAAD8/5UwC5i7NtME/s400/March+2008+582.jpg" border="3" /></a><br /></div><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>My girls all looked so cute in their dresses. Judging from that picture above, I think it's safe to say that we have another red-hair, blue-eye girl. I guess this really isn't a big surprise considering my parents have 4 granddaughters and all 4 have red hair and blue eyes. I love it and I wouldn't have it any other way. It really was a nice day and thanks again to all the family and friends that made the long drive. We love you.</p>Lindsey Ericksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14177753280886228523noreply@blogger.com6
