Trunk or Treat

Oh my sweet, sweet boy! He decided that he wanted to be Larry Boy this year (again). I am so grateful. As you know I spent forever on that costume last year, but I really never dreamed he would want to be that again. Well about a month ago, some of his friends asked him what he was going to be for Halloween. I was so shocked when he told them Larry Boy! Yeah! So the costume I worked so hard on has now gotten two years of wear.
We had Trunk or Treat at our church on Wednesday night. Eric had a great time. He trick or treated at all the cars, and then he came to our trunk to help with all the "business". He loved that!

Reunion

We just returned from a weekend family reunion. The family gathered to honor my Grandfather on his 80th birthday. Above is a picture of Eric with his great-grandfather.


This boy was so excited! Here he is when we first arrived at the camp. We had counted sleeps for a long time. Last week he was telling everyone who would stop to listen how many sleeps were left until the reunion.

Caleb and Eric had a great time together! They played the entire weekend. They played their own version of pool, built dozens of inventions, hiked to the top of the mountain, and just had loads of fun.

Here is a pic of me and Eric on top of the mountain. The view was incredible!


There was no cell phone service in the valley where we camped, so we were thrilled to be able to call Daddy from the top of the mountain.

Daddy's little clone.

Lots of sports videos

You asked for videos, and I am giving em to you. That is just the generous kind of person I am. :)

Here are some videos from last weekend's sporting events. We had a crazy day because his soccer and baseball overlapped. We played the first half of soccer and then changed in the car and rushed to baseball. We arrived just in time for him to take the field. He scored 6 goals in his half of the soccer game. Here are a few videos from that. In these, Eric's team is wearing yellow scrimmage jerseys. For whatever reason our Kelly Green and their Green are almost the exact same color. So our team wore the jerseys to make it easier.

On to baseball. Eric did really well at this game also. He hit 4 times and never got out. (he hasn't gotten out this fall - that wasn't the case this past spring...) He made two good plays with the ball at 2nd base.

Music of the dance

One of Robert's coworkers was playing guitar in a band at a local Mexican restaurant. We decided to go to show support. They dedicated a song to Eric, and Eric popped up and started dancing. A little girl from another table got up to join him. Don't ask me where he learned those moves. I have no idea.
Here is his air guitar.

Twelve! Are you kidding me?

Eric was a Soccer Star today. He scored 12 goals in his game! He played the whole hour, because there were only 3 kids there from his team today. And he scored 12 goals! We were blown away! Here are a couple of pics of him in action from the game.

Daddy Day

On Sunday, Eric and Robert had a Daddy and son day at Magic Springs. They had a great time! Eric has talked about it all week. He loved the log ride! (they rode it 10 times) It was a great day. The weather was nice, and they had it mostly to themselves.
