so good, so good!

sunday was the big day!
we were off to utah to see Neil Diamond! on his 50th anniversary tour.
jamie, james, scott and eric all missed out!
we had a fun day running around in utah...
of course getting my target run in, eating a yummy dinner and being with the family.









we had such a fun time at the concert.
we laughed, and danced, and had such a good time...
(and poor neil, i just had to mock him at times.... he's such a cheese ball...
but what can i say, i still love him)
when we got back to our vehicles i was just texting eric goodnight when i went 
to open my door to the truck and broken glass just fell out everywhere...
and my heart sank.
before the concert i gave my dad my credit card in case i wanted anything and 
hid my purse underneath my pillow... i really didnt want to tote it around all night.
as soon as i realized my window was broke i knew my purse was gone... and it was.
luckily they just took that and didnt search the truck for anything else.
i really didnt have much in my purse or wallet.
no cash, really just my debit and license. 
everything else was no big deal...
it was mainly just superficial stuff like all the sudden it would hit me,
my purse was gone! but i LOVED my purse. and i loved my wallet!
monday was busy cancelling cards and getting certain cards replaced.
luckily i had given my dad my credit card so i wasnt completely left in the dark.
that night dad made me and mom lasagna!



he did a really good job and it was really delicious.
wednesday after mom finished up with school we took off back to laramie.
madyn was pretty excited to have mom come home with us. 
thursday mads headed back to preschool!
when i took her we found out that she had a field trip later on that
day over at the university planetarium.


i was actually pretty happy that we went because i have been meaning to 
take her, and she really didnt care for it too much.
some of it really freaked her out.
so i was glad that we went when we werent with a big audience
and disturbing everyone.
friday we had a busy day running errands and getting some things done so 
we could enjoy the weekend.
i really wanted to get eric's gun this week since dad would be down to help me pick it out
and since my purse was stolen i needed to go get my license again.
i got to the dmv in perfect timing!
only one guy ahead of me and we could get out of there.
but right as we were starting on mine their internet went down!
three hours later... we finally got my license.
so after dad got into town we headed over to cheyenne.
we picked up eric's gun and then headed out to dinner.
i think eric was pretty excited when he finally figured out it was for him 
and it wasnt just another one of dad's guns.
saturday morning i went and took some engagement pictures.
it was a little bit chilly of a morning but i think they ended up turning out good.
after we got back we headed out to rodger's canyon to go shooting. 




i dont know but i think he kind likes his new AR.



























it was so windy in the canyon and so we were all flipping freezing.
but we did have a lot of fun.
after that we headed back and went out to lunch.
then we headed over to veedauwoo 
and did a little walking around. 
it wasnt as cold up there so it was nice to be outside and soak up some vitamin d.






we had a pretty great day being together.
i love having company at our house!!!

in the valley

welp it was a pretty busy week in the valley.
getting a lot done at the shop.
babysitting.
running errands.
visiting everyone.
needless to say we were running constantly.
i had a doctor's appointment in utah on monday.
it was my last visit with dr clark before i have this baby.
we also had one last ultrasound to make sure that his growth and everything is ok.
and he's still our perfect little boy :)
they only had one little concern and that was one of his kidneys is just a tad
dilated more then it should be. 
so he will get that checked out shortly after he is born.
but if i remember correctly, we saw this on our 20 week ultrasound and 
the ultrasound tech told us this was super common with little boys
and it usually just takes care of itself.
either way... im not too concerned.
thursday afternoon me and mom met micah and her kids in evanston 
so we could have them come play with the cousins for the next couple of days.
friday the erickson house was a bit of a mad house with all those kids.
but they all play and get along so well... it's a good mad house.
that evening rylee and abby both had jr jazz games.
we watched abby and then we had an hour break before rylee's game.
and it hit me hard... i was pooped.
poor ry, we didnt make it to her game. i was so tired i was getting sick.
saturday we got up and going and we had a little family easter party.
(ya know, just a week early)
we started out with an easter egg hunt... but had to do it inside since it was raining/ snowing.








we then went and had a very delicious meal back at mom and dads.
it was kind of a miserable day for the rest of the day.
i ATE WAY too much. 
i was sooooo uncomfortable!
but it was fun being with all the family.
and we have really enjoyed our time being home.

CBI Championship

so sunday i walk into little misses room and i see this in her doll house...
oh boy... should i be concerned?


nothing like a barbie hanging from the chandelier to wonder what is going through
your childs mind lol.
she really does make me laugh though.


case and point.
i love that little tush!
this week we stayed busy going over to the AA!
it was a pretty exciting time in Laramie since the CBI championship
was in town.
the championship was a best of three game and since we lost
over in North Carolina we had the final two games in Laramie. 



mads was just thrilled to get lots of popcorn!
the final game on friday was sooooo packed!
and it was a bit of a blow out.
but we still had lots of fun.





i think mads was a bit over it by now lol.



saturday Eric got up bright and early and headed over to fort collins with mark
and they did an archery shoot.
and me and mads headed over to the valley for our long get away.
heaven knew it was going to be a long ride when we werent even 15 minutes outside of laramie
and madyn starts asking are we there yet.
by the time we hit rawlins madyn was convinced that i went the wrong way 
because it was just taking too long!
i think little miss was just a bit overly excited to get to grandmas house.
we had to stop in rock springs so i could get an infusion which made for a nice little break.
and since i usually get super tired dad and rylee met us down there so we could travel 
the rest of the way together. 
mom and dads house was a bit crazy! 
they had the meeks and hysell kids since their parents were in utah 
seeing the lion king.
the kids were having so much fun together.
i love how they are all each others best little friends.


madyn was ecstatic because ry painted her nails for her.
she has such good cousins!
they take the best care of her!
