Colorado Hunt & Erickson Kids

Bret went to Colorado earlier this month with his brothers and dad. They've been planning this trip for a while and they finally drew out. They had high expectations for this hunt and I think they didn't see as many bucks or as big of bucks as they wanted. They still had a great time and everybody but Calvin came home with a deer. I'm glad Bret has a hobby like hunting but I'm always glad when hunting season is over. It seems to last forever and usually means long lonely weekends without him, but I will continue to be the great supportive wife that I am.

I had some extra kids this past weekend. Jill and Bret went to Vegas to celebrate their anniversary. This was their first time leaving their kids together and I was honored they asked me to watch them. Jill has great kids and they're a lot of fun. Cody is easy going, he played computer games and spent a lot of time with aunt Emily and his other cousins, we also had a movie night! Carly didn't stop talking for 3 days straight. Seriously, that girl doesn't shut up, but she's so freakin cute! When Jill got home she asked Carly if I told her to stop talking and Carly said, "you mean settle down". lol. She's so funny. She also told me she colored on her wall and her mom got mad at her. I asked her if she got a spankin and she said, "Amy, thats not even possible." Halle was an angel baby during the day but decided she didn't want to sleep as good as she does for her mom. I think she knew her mom was gone and wanted to help me prepare for a newborn. It wasn't bad though. Halle is probably the easiest baby I've ever seen. She's always so happy and content! Cody is 7, Carly just turned 3, Emmett is almost 2, and Carly is 7 months. The youngest 3 together was my biggest challenge. Nobody should ever have kids that close in age! Carly and Emmett loved playing together but also fought a little bit. Emmett is mean to her which is weird because he is normally the kid that gets picked on. Maybe he senses how nice Carly is, and he takes advantage of her. Anyways, it was a good weekend!

Sweet Halle
