Fun at the Fun Factory

These are a few snapshots of Riley, Dylan and our neighbor Tannor at the Fun Factory in Enterprise. We had some bad weather on the weekend so me and one of my friends from school (Kim Machicote) took the kids over to Fun Factory to have some fun. These snapshots were taken inside the Glow Golf room. I think this is one of their favorite activities there.

Dylan and Tori

This is Dylan and his girlfriend Tori. We went to Dairy Queen with them one night after the ball games. After talking with her parents we realized that we had a mutual friend at Ft. Bragg...Lori Crader. I met Lori in Alaska and Natalie was friends with Lori during flight school. It is such a small world in aviation. Dylan and Tori enjoy spending time together and we are going to miss them when they move in July. The one part of being military that hurts is saying good-bye to good friends. If you notice how long Dylan's hair is in these pictures I credit that all on Tori. I have tried to get him to cut his hair and he protest every time we talk about it. Well, his teacher told me that Tori sits behind him in class and she is always playing with his hair and running her fingers through it.....I said "no wonder he refuses to get it cut".

Our little slugger!

Riley is throughly enjoying t-ball this season. Many of his friends from school and church are playing so it is often more of a social time than playing ball. But...he is having fun and that is what counts.

Riley's Field Trip to the Zoo

Riley's end of the year field trip was to the Montgomery Zoo. Jeff went with them....since mom used up all her sick days recuperating from the surgery. They had a great time and the Ardvark was by far Riley's favorite animal. He has been drawing pictures of them ever since the field trip and finds them quite fascinating. The little boy in the picture with Riley is his friend Mikey. I work with Mikey's mom over at Pinedale and the boys will both be attending kindergarten there together. They have become good friends of ours and we enjoy spending time with them.

Update from the Mouser

Wow...it has been over a month since I have updated this Blog...my apologies....we have just been so busy around here that it is hard to sneak in computer time. With school ending this week we are all looking forward to a little bit of down time and just relaxing and enjoying the Alabama summer. Life has been good here this past month. My surgery was very successful and my recovery was rapid. I am so thankful that my Aunt Gail came to stay with me for a week and helped out during my down time. I have surgery scheduled in June to remove a tumor, this is going to be a pretty major surgery and will require two nights in the hospital and a 6 week recovery time. I am trying to convince Jeff to just send me away to a spa to recover, but he don't care for that idea. My aunt and my mom will be coming over to help out with the boys and the house.
All is well here in Alabama. The boys are wrapping up their school year this week and I am proud to say they all maintained straight A's throughout the entire year in both grades and conduct. I have never looked forward to summer vacation as much as I do this year. We are kicking off our summer with a trip to Aunt Gail's for Memorial Day weekend. Then we have plenty of summer camps (football and soccer for Dylan and soccer and basketball for Taylor). Plus, Taylor will be training for football at the school all summer long. Riley will enjoy swim lessons (probably his last time as he has become a pretty good swimmer already) and he has a Smart Start kindergarten program to attend for the entire month of June. So, are summer is already booked but we are looking forward to all the activites coming up.
If you all make it to Alabama this summer be sure to look us up....we have a few guest scheduled to visit already, but we always love company.
Love,
