Wishing I was a little bit better at....everything.

I wish I was better at being a little bit edgy

I wish I was better At Art.



I wish I was a little bit Braver.




I Wish I was better at playing with my kids.


I wish I was better at relaxing.




I wish I was a better Cuddler.




I wish I was better at Believing in myself.



But mostly I wish I was better at being me.....





Because then I would worry so much about the things I wish I was better at...

The Ericksons Established 2003 (And a long long time before that)

My family and I (along with the rest of the Erickson Clan) decided to allow our picture to be taken.. I say *allow* with much distain because I HATE getting my picture taken.. So we all got up early on saturday morning and made our way down to this beautiful park in Montrose, Co! It was soo much fun, all of us, Great Grandma Peggy, Anne and DAle (My parent-in-laws) Julie, Matt and their little girls Madaline and BEthany, Crystal and Nick, with their three boys, collin, wesley and parker. Oliver and Tiffany, and then Us.. Me, Jas, Xander and Eliza.. Here they are.. Drum Roll PLease!!


Thats Us!!!


Thats the whole family!


Oliver and Tiffany!


The Smiths! Matt, Julie, Madaline (blonde) Bethany (Red)


Jones! Nick, Crystal, Collin (older) WEsley Middle (in the plaid) Parker (glasses!)

an artist after all!

If you know me, you know i am not an artist.. I cannot draw, paint, color or anything else.. I have ugly handwriting and even uglier cursive. Give me an hr with a piece of music and i can play it front words and backwards on the Violin, Or sing it with my eyes closed.. But give me a paint brush and at the end of the day.. You might have a halfway decent stick figure.. But today, A miracle happened!! My Mother-in laws and Sister inlaws Julie, Tiffany and Crystal all had a girls lunch since we were all together which rarely happens.. After lunch we went to this really rad place called Fat Cats Pottery, We get to pick a peice of ceramic and paint it! I pictured a 2 qt pitcher. and this was my finished product!! SOO SOO proud of myself!!



Its not Glazed yet, but when it is it is going to be spectacular!!
Go me!
Kat :D

A little of this.

Its almost 10 pm on a Thursday night.. its so quiet in the house right now, All I hear is the sound of my fingers tapping on the keyboard, Jasons Faint snores while he quietly watches Whale Wars (Behind sleeping eyes) and roxy, my super fat lab snoring by my feet.. Its moments like these that allow me to unwind, think and blog.
I am so grateful for my family and friends, for the love they have for my craziness and the support they give me for my wacky ideas.. Im so blessed.
Its almost fathers day, and my husband doesnt want me to give him anything but a hug and a kiss.. Which works for him, but not for me. I want to suprise him with something but he is keeping our money hostage so i dont pay for anything! UGH! So maybe ill make him a tshirt and let the kids paint all over it.. He probably wont wear it anywhere but home, but its the thought that counts.
I signed up for Demarle at home, which is AMAZING! Im in love with it, and if i can make a lil bit of money while im doing it, all the better! I cant wait to get my kit, and start partying!
Eliza had her ballet recital last night, she was so adorable. Im to lazy to walk into the other room and grab my camera to share pictures as of right now, but i will soon.. promise..
So now, Im going to go snuggle with my sleeping husband and watch a silly romantic comedy and eventually, go to bed.. Good night Blog Land.
