FBLA!

My Eric has been gone for a whole week! He was in California for the FBLA National competition! FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America! He won 1st place in the state competition here which of course qualified him to go to NATIONALS! I am so proud of him! He got to go to Disneyland for 2 days, Catalina, and Medieval Times! He even got to see the new Transformer movie! I am so jealous! LOL! He won 7th in the Nation for Global Business! We got to watch the awards ceremony last night live on the internet! It was so cool seeing him win the award! We picked him up from the airport today! I can't believe what a wonderful young man he has become!
He didn't even spend all the money we gave him! LOL!! Which is a big accomplishment! One of the girls in his group spent all the money her parents gave her the first 2 days and they had to wire her money! He even brought home souvenirs for everyone! I love mine! He got me Tinkerbell notebooks and a really cute magnet notebook for the fridge! The trophy he brought home is amazing!
Congratulations Eric! We love you!

Eric's Graduation!

I can't believe Eric has graduated high school! I am so proud of him!
We got to the arena at 12:00pm but we weren't allowed in till 1:00pm. It was pretty hot out there but at least we were one of the first ones so that we got great seats! We needed to save a whole row of seats, so Steven ran ahead of us to save them. Security had to check purses and Kalob still has his boot on for his broken ankle so we were going slow. The security people told us that we could only save seats till 1:50pm! People were waiting for our seats! But everyone got there on time! Phew! I was nervous about that! I was afraid we weren't going to be sitting by our family! But it all worked out! Then graduation started! Eric stood out from most of the class because of all the honors he has received! He had medals, a NHS stole, and a gold rope as well. There were over 700 kids in his class! I didn't realize there were that many kids! But the school was smart and had 2 lines going at the same time! It was so emotional for me! My first baby to graduate! I can't believe I am now a mom of a college student! After graduation we took a lot of pics of Eric with friends and family! It was pretty hot outside but I didn't even care! We then went to Chili's! My sister Chelsea works there! So we all got yummy food and celebrated with Eric! We stayed and hung out for quite a while! It was then time to get Eric home so he could get ready to go to parties! He had a lot to go too! He even had some on Sunday! It was such a wonderful day! I am in awe of Eric and all he has accomplished in only 17 years! I can not wait to see what he does next!
