Nights on the Town!

The last few weeks have been so amazing ~ with the girls walking (and running), things are getting so much easier! They aren't ruining all their pants, scraping their knees or getting as filthy as they were when they were crawling!

As things get easier, Jonathan and I have been going out more and more! Lately our schedule has been packed with social events, fundraisers, family dinners and date nights! It's definitely nice to have more social outings with our friends and family!

Alan Jackson Concert!!


We're going out with our boots on! :)


Never a dull moment when we're together <3


Ducks Play Offs!!


Fun Times!


MASTROS ~ Definitely one of our favorites!


Fundraisers & Limos = Fun Times!


Red Carpets!


Best Table @ the party!


Entrepreneur of the Year Award Gala at the St. Regis!


Just the girls!


Even though I'm pretty sure our babysitting costs are at an all-time high, we are enjoying spending time together with our family, friends and just mommy & daddy dates...which happen to be my favorite! :)

So far this year has been amazing and we're only halfway through...
Cheers to the best year yet! <3

Jayden & Mommy Play Dates!

A few months ago I decided to start having weekly play dates with Jayden so her and I could have more quality time together. Every week we go somewhere new ... sometimes we try new parks, sometimes we go swimming and other times we have just ran errands and met daddy for lunch! She now knows that Tuesday is our "date day"! And she likes to give me her two cents on what we should do. Yesterday she told me it was our date day and she wanted to go on the park and not to the train station because the train is too loud! I just about died laughing! She is so precise and descriptive for a three year old! 

Our first date! 
Off to We Play Loud!




And lunch at Chic-Fil-A after! Nothing tops off a date with mommy like an ice cream cone!!



CASTLE PARK! One of my all time favorites!
 I grew up going to this park and couldn't wait to take Jayden! She kept telling me we were looking for the princesses in the castle! :)





Running errands at the Spectrum with a stop at the park next to Target! 


Jayden looking for pirates!




Adventure Playground! Also one of my all-time favorites! I grew up going to that park also...and Jayden loved it! 



I could barely get her to leave the mud area! She loved it!


My favorite days usually are the weekend...but Tuesdays are now a huge contender for one of my favorite days of the week! I love going on new adventures every week with this fun-loving three year old!


Love you to pieces Jayden <3

Be-lated Mother's Day!

I'm a little late posting about Mother's Day...but better late than never!

It was such a beautiful day ~ we started off by leaving early for church to stop for a cup of hot coffee at Starbucks :) and then meeting the fam at Saddleback! Love that they had photo ops all around campus! So of course we had to take advantage!

It's rare we get a good pic with all 3 of our girls...so I couldn't be happier with our family photo! :)


And I love this pic of the 3 generations <3


After church we had a yummy brunch at home and luckily all the girls went down for a quick nap before heading to Memaw & Papa's house for some fun in the sun! 

Of course the girls wanted to go in the pool! So we spent most of the afternoon in the water!





All of our girls are little fish and could swim all day every day! 

The 7 Erickson Girls!


So thankful for such an amazing family day...and to top it off...Sophia took her first steps! It made my day extra special! So glad I got to see it before leaving for Nashville the next day! 

Happy Mother's Day!!

One is so much Fun!

So now that Sophia & Savannah have been one for almost a month...I've noticed now more than ever their little personalities shining through! They could not be more opposite if they tried and they flip flop with their little quirks. One week Sophia will be happy-go-lucky and Savannah a little more strong-willed and the next week they switch!

For the most part, Sophia has way more to say...she just babbles and literally will try to have a conversation with you! Meanwhile, Savannah will just hang and is little miss independent! Playing with whatever you give her and not really caring who (if anyone) is around to watch! 
Sophia LOVES playing peek-a-boo while Savannah is trying to climb up onto the sofa, chair or anything really! Most of the time they are headed in different directions ~ unless they are following big sis Jayden! They both LOVE following and playing with her! It's adorable and warms my heart when my girls play together!

A few weeks ago we took their 1 year pics and I could not be more in love! Our friend took pics and was so great to take not only beautiful pics of Sophia & Savannah, but she took amazing pics of Jayden and us as a family as well! Even though Sophia was not exactly in a happy mood during the photo shoot, we got some great ones and were so excited with how they turned out!


Sweetest 1 year old twins I know :)


Love these girls with every piece of my heart <3



Such a beautiful morning with beautiful girlies!




Cake Smash Time!



Sophia's face is hilarious as she's picking up her cupcake!


MELTDOWN MODE...


...while this little one was loving it! She couldn't get enough!


Same with this little love!


Finishing up the cake at the photo party!  
Love how she put her hat on to celebrate!


Taking pics of kids is hard..especially with three girls 3 & under! But special thanks to our friend Britt for getting amazing photos of our girls! She pulled it off (again!)...and since Sophia was a little difficult at times, we're doing another photo shoot next week! Can't wait <3
