Eric's birthday party!

Emily planned Eric a surprise party on October 9th! We really surprised him with an outdoor grill he had been admiring for 3 months. Emily found a Barbie-sized grill on-line and wrapped it up - said to add water! Ha!

Caleb enjoyed trying on Eric's muffler...

Emily had tacos and chicken tortilla soup - and I decorated a cake with a cactus.

How many candles did we have to light??? Eric blew them ALL out!

Now Caleb gets to try on the sombrero and dance to the music!

Apples and Pumpkins

Caleb came to visit October 5-7 while Emily and Eric went camping. On Sunday, Jeff and I took him to the Hickory Nut Farm to get apples and see the chicks, piglets, and horses!

I love the way his hands are folded while watching the chicks.Caleb found the apple he wanted and took a bite while sitting on a tractor. (After the photo op, we made applesauce out of the apples!)

On Monday Mom and I visited a pumpkin patch at a local church. He's found one just his size...

While Caleb loved all the pumpkins, he enjoyed playing in the straw even more!
