Families Are Forever

Every visit to Idaho seems to fly by faster than a hot yellow bullet bike on I-880. Yet one thing always stays the same and constant. Family. My Dad got called to be the Bishop of their ward the weekend I was home. We teased my Dad beforehand that inviting our family would be a dead giveaway (considering the quantity we have), yet as we walked into the sacrament meeting and I saw the concourses of family members gathered to support my Dad I was overwhelmed with the love these individuals that make our family up have for my Dad and each other. Family really is what makes life memorable and enjoyable. The only thing I really ever find myself missing at times is my Family and those in my family or those that know my Family can probably understand why it is hard not to miss a group as wonderful as my Family.

Gini and Lillia
Lindy and Oly
Isabel
Jace and Lillia (they match! It was quite the feet to get Jace to smile)
Jess and Morgan
Poncho Villa and Joshy
Grandma Erickson, Jess, Jason. Yes, we have told on occasion that I look like a Coleen Junior. :)
Amie, my favorite Sister-in-Law
Susie Q and Jana Banana!! Happy Birthday to you both! They were both super excited for me to be in attendance because a Berry/Erickson Birthday song isn't quite the same without my voice. All we were missing was Jed to take the bass part, next birthday we'll plan ahead and get us both on the phone to sing. For those that have never been privileged to have a Berry/Erickson Birthday song, you are missing out and if you ask me I just might give you an encore. :)
Megan, McKenna, Susie Q, Morgan, Gini, and Lillia
I think Morgan was about sick of the camera at this point.
JT and Amanda! Yes, this is JT favorite and most frequent expression. :)

Grandma Erickson and Morgan!

It was so much fun to see you again. That was a really fun day. Your Dad is a stud and will be an awesome bishop. You will have to send me those pics of my kids.
