Halloween

The boys were so excited to dress up with a Star Wars Clone Wars theme this year. Ethan was Commander Cody and Eric was Jango Fett. Claire was a cute little flower fairy. I love it when they are too young to pick their own costume because then I get to pick! :) So fun!

Eric is 6!

Happy Birthday to my Eric! We are so glad you are a part of our family! We love you!

Cutie Claire

Just a couple cute pics while playing outside.

A Few More Rocket Pics

It's About Time

OK, I'm back! I'm sorry it has been so long since I've posted. I'm a delinquent, I know. I suppose I will start off with showing you our fun at the rocket launch. When the weather gets cooler Jared, my dad, & my hubby break out the rockets! The men had more failures than successes this time around, but I think we perhaps enjoy the laughs at catastrophes as much as excitement for the successes. Mostly I have pics of the kids. Sara and Eric collected rocks, Ethan brought his bike to chase down the rocket landings....I mean crashes. Eric had on his trusty ear muff things (what are those called anyway?) because he is more sensitive to the noise than any of the other kids, but that is also typical of autism. Claire liked hanging out in Brandon's Jeep. All the kids really loved Brandon's Jeep! Fun had by all!

Claire's First Birthday!

Here are some pics of Claire's party. I had fun planning a girl party! We love our little Sweetness! She is adored by all! We love you Claire!

Our Little Graduate!

Eric graduated from his preschool today. I'm especially excited that he participated pretty well in the ceremony. He usually freaks out and won't participate when they are put on the spot. They sang a few songs, gave out diplomas, had a class DVD played, and ate cake....or frosting in Eric's case (he just eats his frosting and leaves the cake.)I'm also excited that we got a pretty decent family picture. I thought he might be too overwhelmed by the time we did that, but he was great! His teacher, Mrs. Willen, was super fantastic this year! We will miss her! She has assured us that Eric's Kinder teacher is really good. Mrs. Willen has a son that has special needs as well and had the same teacher when he was younger and she really liked her. Eric will be in an all-autistic classroom of combined kinder and first graders. I think he's going to do really well! Congratulations Eric! We love you and are so proud of you!
