Eric's Graduation Announcement!

Eric is set to graduate in a mere few weeks!  It seems surreal to me but it is really happening.  I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished!

In honor of Eric's splendid high school career, here is a list of some of his accomplishments:

-Performed in three musicals, Beauty and the Beast, Suessical the Musical and Curtains
-Performed in Concert Choir (3 yrs), Men's Ensemble (JR year)  and Vocal Ensemble (Senior Year)
-Scored a 1-the highest score in the state solo competition!
-Excellent Pianist.  Accompanies his choir a bit and we love to hear him perform.  Performed in the Talent Show.
-Maintains his 3.7 G.P.A.  Thanks to a Math 1050 (college level class) he didn't quite make it to the 3.9 but he consistently gets All A's and a B+ except for one quarter of that darn college level math class...But we are still so proud of him!
-Eagle Scout!
-Has toured every year with the Performing Arts and Productions company of Hillcrest High for the past three years.
-This year he sang the solo of Don't Stop Believin' (The popular Glee Club version) at DISNEYLAND!!!  And he did an awesome job.
-And  with all of this Eric is truly humble.  His parents gush with pride over him but he just doesn't seem to get why it is all such a big deal.



We are so proud of this boy and love love love him.  He is a truly nice person, kind, helpful, polite and fun to be around.  He has a great sense of humor and always makes us laugh.  He is a peacemaker in our home and is always on the look out for ways to help.  He loves learning and is always reading!!  I hoped to have a great reader and he has surpassed my goal.

Congratulations to Eric for years of hard work...always striving to do his best. We are proud to be his Mom and Dad and are grateful for the wonderful example he sets for his younger brothers.

Eric has chosen to go to BYU Idaho in the Fall. A bunch of his cousins are going and he is going to room with his cousin Craig Vanwagenen.  We hope he has the time of his life.  He is only going for one semester and then coming home to work for a few months before he leaves on his MISSION!  Whoa!

Life is good ..so exciting...I am so proud of this boy...but man oh man sometimes I just can't believe time goes so fast.
