Girls Night at Jess's House

All the little cousins/nieces that live in the area came for a sleepover before school started (minus Averina and Hailey Bug as they were sick that weekend). We had fun playing at the park, doing a talent show, eating crepes with fresh raspberries, watching a movie, wrestling with Joshy, and all going to church together the next morning. We will have to do it again!  

Happy Birthday Reggie Reid!

The PA Reunion in IDAHO!

Mer suggested well over a year in advance that we all meet in Idaho for a reunion. Well it happened! It was a short but fun reunion! We've added quite a few to the group since we all lived in PA together and we are still growing! We ate well...MPR, NJ, and, SJ all enjoyed their Idaho Berry burgers almost too much! We picked raspberries, huckleberries, we partook of raspberry/huckleberry shakes, we had at least two or more people up every hour of the day at my house. (The joy of babies). Babies kissed, wrestled, and were spoiled with lots of affection. All were able to visit THE Berry Oil HQ. We had time to just talk. I am so glad everyone was able to come. We did miss, JD! Below is a snapshot of the good time we all had together...until next time!   

Erickson Family Reunion 2014

At the beginning of July the Erickson clan gathered in Tetonia for a few days of fun, visiting, roping, sheep riding, and such. We had a lot of Ericksons come (we were lucky that Jed Fred and Emily made it after their cross country adventure). It started out with some of us taking a very scary dunk in the water as we were all floating the Teton River. Maybe at some point I'll be able to elaborate in more detail but the short version is that we were lucky we made it out alive, the spirit of protection is extremely powerful, my love for Hailey Bug is at times overwhelming, and we are thankful that we had Jason, Jed, Josh, Seth, and the many other angels there that day to fish us out of the water. 

Other activities included the 4th of July parade, packsaddle lake, roping, the Tetonia rodeo, lots of food, lots of kids, lots of laughs, and lots of teasing. Below is a photo summary of our days together.
