Wow! 3 goals in a row!

Whew! Eric had a great day at soccer. He scored 3 goals back to back. It was pretty exciting! Here are videos of the 3 goals. (I would advise you to turn down your speakers - there is a lot of cheering.)

Eric is learning a lot of verses lately! Here is his most recent video.

Cutest Baseball Player Ever!

Is he not the cutest thing? I just love my kiddo! His new baseball season has started, and he is on the Red Team this time. This is a much more laid back season - not nearly as hard core as the spring.

Cookout

On the last night of Kaden's visit, we had a cookout in the backyard. Robert built a fire hole, and then we roasted hot dogs and made s'mores. After they ate, the boys took off on a lightning bug hung. I think they would have stayed out there all night, but the mosquitos were loving us a little too much, so I eventually called it to an end. On an interesting note, we had some bats fly over our heads for about 30 minutes. It was fascinating and a littly creepy. I was happy to see them there - they eat tons of mosquitos - but I was also a little weirded out. I mean, really... bats?
Eric had a great time with his buddy being here!


Widget was pretty tired from running after those boys!







Here is the lightning bug Eric caught.


My husband couldn't just eat a hot dog, so here is his steak roasting over the fire.

Playin at the Park

Yesterday we went to a fun newer park in the downtown area. It is a combination water and play park. The boys had a blast! There is a fountain area for the kids to play in, as well as tunnels built into the hills and slide, climbing wall, etc. It is a really cool place to go. Where was this place when I was a kid?

Can't-stop-teaching-

I am constantly teaching. I just really can't help myself. The boys wanted some candy corn last night, so I bought some, but then we forgot about it. So tonight after supper, I decided to do a little patterning with the guys while they snacked. They really don't know they are learning anything. They were just playing a game where you got to eat a piece of candy after each round.
