Grace's First B-day

Hello all!
I celebrated my first birthday! I had my photo taken with Cinderella and ate chocolate cake in her castle. It was so much fun! Grandma Donna gave me a Minnie dress for my special day. Mommy, Daddy, Tiffany, Grandma Donna and John and Karen Shockey were there. I loved it.

(It has been quite sometime since I've written. Please read all the blogs. Quite a bit has happened since November. )




I've got it Dad - no need for a knife.




This is Mommy's favorite moment. I shoved all the cake in my mouth and smiled.
Daddy's gave me this cold white stuff - I'm not so sure about it.
Dad we are having so much fun!

Here is the first place Tiffany worked.
We are all showing our support.


Mommy said something about a parade and seeing Mickey.
Hey, there's Walt.
And, Mickey too!
The night time show had music and dancing - I sat with Daddy. Daddy loved having his two girls together.

Ahhh... what a day I'm ssssuuu sllleeeepy.......








Tiffany teaches how to draw Mickey and we visit WDW

We visited Tiffany for her second class of teaching how to draw Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World. It is a dream come true for her. Congrats!!!




Here she gives Grace a private lesson. Hey - Grandma Donna how much fun are we having!
Daddy does a handstand with the gymanstic team in Animal Kingdom.

Ooo - seals Real live dolphins - just like the one on my wall.





Good Times between Christmas and Grace's First B-day

Life is all about feeding myself!

So Dad, this perspectus says that we should go into Investment A.
Alisha's friend, Kathy, heads to Slovenia for ministry. Yea!
Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Donna took me to Riverdance. Wow! What a show!!! I loved the music, the dancing and loved the finale. I even helped conduct it.

Grace's First Christmas - Dec 07

Grace's first Christmas!! What a fun time! Mommy and Daddy enjoyed it probably more than Grace. :-)

Here Daddy's teaching Grace what to do with her blocks.




Is this right, Dad?



A Christmas bear! :-)

So how do I do this?

OK - so I can rip this paper - no problem.
Sage had to get in on the action, too.

Wow - my first pony!

Oh - nice horsey, nice horsey.

The oldest and youngest grandkids on the Erickson side play blocks. If Liam was here, we could add another generation - the first Erickson great-grandkid.


Ski trip with the Gottschalks - Dec 07

Believe it or not - we headed up to Canada in Dec 07. We spent some ski time with Steve's sister, Sharla's family. We had a good time. Steve skied and Alisha and Grace hung out as snow bunnies.

Mommy's getting Grace ready for skiing as soon as she can walk. I sure hope she likes it. It would fulfill mommy's Montana dream. We shall see...



Becca reads the Nativity story to Grace.

All the kids - too fun!
