Eric just celebrated his birthday by driving for 19 hours to Island Park, Idaho. Actually, he loved his birthday. Grandma LuAnne found out about his obsession with the local infomercial for pancake puffs ("Mom, if you love pancakes, you'll certainly love pancake puffs!) and bought him an Aebleskiver pan as a gift then made some for him the morning we stayed with them. Then we spent two wonderful days in Idaho with my family--Thanks for letting us use your cabin Aunt Jane! On a more serious note, I can't believe our baby is five! He starts kindergarten this week and I am in complete denial. He has been such a wonderful child. He loves to joke around--our family all heard more than their fair share of "You're a mustard and mushroom sandwich" jokes this week. He really tries hard to be obedient and he loves to be helpful ("Whew, mom, I'm just getting too useful!"). He is a great big brother and a very loving boy. We love you, Eric.

Happy Birthday Eric! I can't believe that he's 5 either! I totally remember when you used to bring him to Sunday dinner and he was first born! I really do'nt like how time goes by so fast, it's so sad!
Happy birthday Eric! He is such a cute kid and it was so much fun to see him last week.
Can you believe these kids are starting kindergarten?! Evie starts at the end of August and in some ways I'm not ready, but I can't wait either :) She's going to love it. And I hope Eric does too. Just more adventures.
By the way, I wanna hear some mustard and mushroom jokes! ;)
We love you too Eric!!! I can't believe he's in kindergarten! Hopefully he's loving it. Jake totally caught on to the sandwich name calling. He does it all the time now!
Oh my, I'm so jealous! I LOVE Abelskivers (however you spell that) - my Grandma has a pan that I have been hoping to inherit, but I might have to just go buy my own!
Those last two pictures are crazy - Eric's face is EXACTLY the same! He's such a cutie patootie. Happy Birthday - hope you enjoy Kindergarten, Eric!!
Oh I hope Eric had a great birthday! He is such a cute little guy. Isn't crazy to have them starting school?! We got so lucky to have such great boys.
What a cute birthday boy! It was so great to see you guys. And please, you could have stayed for days and we would have been thrilled. We love you guys!
