Legoland

Hello.  It's been a while.  Our lives have been a little crazy lately.  Taking this first day home to go back and blog some.   We had the Cowleys here for their Spring Break.  What a blessing that was.  I love those kiddos and miss them terribly.  I got plenty of hugs throughout the visit.  (Helped make up for all the ones I've missed)  We took them to Legoland Discovery Center on their second day here.  What a cool place!  I think we will be visiting there again before too long.  

Waiting for our time slot to go into Legoland.  

E and E.  So cute!

Eric would weigh 31,500 bricks.  Is that all?

Two excited boys waiting to take a class from the Master Builder.  Unfortunately, he did not teach the class - the manager did.  But, it was still fun.  

Oh how I love these two boys!  So sweet!  Can you believe they are only 6 weeks apart by looking at this picture?  Caleb is a tall boy!

Selfies

I was looking back through my phone for a picture and found these selfies.  E has never done this before, but aren't they too cute!

What's really funny  is he set the camera to take a ton of pictures, so when I look through them quickly, I can see Gizmo's head slowly pop up and then slowly go back down.  Too cute!  He loves his dog buddies.  

First game rocked!

The Cobras played their first game today.  (They voted on the name last night.  Cobras was Eric's suggestion.  They chose it.)  They did awesome!  I got ZERO pictures.  Too busy being Team Mom and cheering for my boy.  Eric played the whole game.  Final score was 4-0.  For a team that has never played together, I thought they did excellent!

E made the newsletter

There is a newsletter for our swim team of 800 kids.  Eric made the newsletter.  Twice.

He is listed as one who made it into the top three.  He is also listed at the bottom as a Swimmer of the Meet.  

Uniform cuteness

Eric got a new uniform shirt.  He has worn the maroon long sleeve one every week.  Sure looks different in the navy.  He is such a cutie pie!

Here's Eric getting some loving from Gizmo last week in his old uniform.  Guess we will put that shirt away for next year.  

Another Lego library day

Yesterday was also Lego day at the Library.  This year they were to do something egg or spring related.  Eric made an Easter egg hunt.

The stack next to him is his latest library check out stack.  He has several robotics books in there.  Ever since Dexter came, he has been reading lots of books on robots.  

Back at soccer

Soccer was supposed to start 2 weeks ago.  Unfortunately due to snow, ice, and rain, every practice and game so far has been cancelled.  We have a whole new team with a new coach.  I was really hoping to have the same coach and several of the same kids.  But, that is not what happened.  Eric's first practice is supposed to be this Wednesday (assuming it doesn't get cancelled again), but he will not be going to the Wednesday practices.  We wanted to get him on the field for some practice time, and yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here, so we took a family trip to the fields.

Is he not the cutest soccer player ever!?!?!  Love this fella.  These are his new soccer goggles.  His prescription has changed twice since we bought the old pair, so it was time for a change.  We splurged and went for the transition lenses.  This will help him a lot out there on the fields.  

I played some, but Robert and Eric played the most.  That way I could get some pictures.  All fall when we did this, I never got pictures.  I was too busy trying to beat this kid at soccer!  We went every weekday, so Robert never got to see us play.  We showed him all our drills.  Then they played the game we play.  

After we had been there an hour and a half, Eric's coach showed up to practice with his son.  Eric practiced with them for another half hour.  Then we thought 2 hours was long enough and called it a day.  The coach told us he is going to work on putting them all in as goalie.  Goalie is absolutely not the place for Eric.  He is a thinker, not a reactor.  But, he can try it.  We are looking forward to the season finally starting.  It is crazy to think Eric will only have one practice before his first game.
