a few photos of Eric

Love this picture of Eric. They were studying Africa at the time and of course he couldn't just stand there and smile like the other children did.

Catching snowflakes.

This picture was taken at a park near my sister's house in Vegas. Once again, Eric is showing his dramatic tendencies.

Playing with his food. Always creative.

Playing at the beach in Brookings, Oregon.

One of his clay creations.

He decided to dress up as the Albino from "The Princess Bride" for Halloween.

Love this photo of him...he and Alicia were doing a fortune cookie skit at Camp Conery for our Perazzo Clan reunion 2008.

You've seen this photo before. Alex, Kevin, Eric, and Joe just before their 24 hour comic-book-drawing marathon was about to end during last Christmas break.

Alicia and Eric introducing the play they directed,  "Cash on Delivery."
















And I just found out that Eric is in the yearbook and he won "Biggest Book Worm." So true, so true. Andrew had won "Most Unique" when he was a senior, and I think Eric really qualified for that category, but book worm really fits, too.

 Eric's graduation announcement.

kids' stuff

Starting with this morning and working backwards--Hannah is 14 1/2 today. It's also her good friend Becky's 14 1/2 birthday. At 9 last night ('cause that's about the time she got back from Becky's house) she starts baking a cake. Turns out she decided it was time to make fondant frosting for the first time. I have never made fondant myself. I was skeptical, but she did a great job. She finished up the cake this morning and it's adorable.

The finished product:

Yesterday was Memorial Day, but we went to the cemetery on Sunday evening...after Eric's seminary graduation.

Ryan and Glen

Eric



Saturday night Ryan and Michael went on a double-date. Yikes.

Andrew went to his Junior and Senior Proms (then dated while at college). Eric went to his Senior Prom. That's as much dating as we've had up till now...Ryan, as usual,  is going in different directions than his brothers, making his parents adjust. I'm sure we'll survive.

Oh, and on Saturday night, Glen and I finally saw the final episode of LOST. I am more lost than ever. If anyone understands the timeline, I'd love to have a conversation with you.

Friday night was a ward dinner-Hillbilly Hoedown. It was a hoot. I think the funniest part was went they went outside to play Hillbilly horseshoes...using toilet seats instead of horseshoes. The pie eating contest was great...but I didn't have my camera. Hannah, Ryan, and Glen all participate. Great fun.

Thursday night was Awards Night for the swimming team. Ryan will be getting a letter (to go on his non-existent jacket...) for his participating on the swim team (as I said, he goes in a different direction than his brothers). The captains, Ben and Chris, also gave out awards. Ryan earned the "Studmuffin" award...so I asked him, "What? Do you go around flexing your muscles all the time?" No, apparently for some reason unknown to me, his cousin Michael gave him the nickname [though it is better than his elementary school nickname of Grave Digger, I think I prefer his other school nickname of Queso (he loves cheese)]. I think we'll survive Ryan.

Well, that catches you up for now. Can't believe it's June. Can't believe it's almost time for summer break!
