Our remodeled bathroom

Okay....we have been working on remodeling our bathroom the last few weekends and I must say it turned out beautiful. I wish I had taken some before pictures, but it was kind of a spur of the moment thing and we just did it. Here are some snapshots of the boys enjoying the new bathroom and a good example of what happens when you put bubble bath into a jacuzzi tub!!!!

"Mom are you on the news again??""

Just had to share this quick cute story with you all. I was on the local news a few weeks ago when we had our "Read Across America" parade. The news anchor from channel 4 came to our school and I had the priviledge of escorting him around. He then interviewed me about all the events going on at our school for "Read Across America". Of course, the kids all thought it was really neat to see mom on the tv. Well this past weekend I was cooking dinner and Riley was sitting in the kitchen watching "Cops" on tv and keeping me company. During the "Cops" show there was a car chase where the police where chasing this little red sports car all over town. Riley turns to me and says "mom....where you on the news again???". What kind of mom does he think he has....ha ha!

Finally an update from the Mousers!!!

Wow...I can't believe it has been so long since I have had time to update the blog. Life has been crazy around here. Just when we thought that we were over all these bugs that were going around the stomach flu hit our house again!!! Knock on wood....mom has been the lucky one to escape all of these silly viruses going around! The males have all been hit hard! But....once again everyone is up and running again and we are working on getting back on track. In the midst of all the bugs, I have been swamped with the Read Across America parade at our school. To celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday we had a fairly large parade at our school...complete with a marching band, live d.j., and a police car. It was a HUGE success and we even scored and entire page in our newspaper with the parade activites. I was exhausted and glad to see it over and done. Also, I worked every evening that week at our school to help celebrate "Read Across America". We also had our annual "Jump rope for Heart" event yesterday and I spent the day outside with approximately 400 children helping them raise money for the American Heart Association. I am proud to say that they raised $8000. It was a fun, but extremely tiring day!
A highlight in our life in the past week was Taylor getting inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. We are really proud of him and the fact that he has maintained an A average all year so far. He has really worked hard on getting his work done and turned in on time and his effort shows. I was extremely proud because I too was inducted into the NJHS during my 8th grade year. Taylor also took a trip to Gatlinburg, TN this past weekend with our church youth group for "Winterfest". This is an awesome experience with over 48,000 student gathering together to worship one God. You can go to www.mywinterfest.com or www.extremegen.org/yceministries/winterfest/ and check out some video of the event. If you watch carefully you might see Taylor. He got interviewed while he was there and was up on the big screen in front of all those kids. Take a few minutes and check it out...it will touch your heart!
Well enough updating for now. I am being summoned to help clean the boys bedroom. I will update more later!!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Relaxing in the bubbles!

Well it sure has felt like spring the last few days here in Alabama. The high was 78 today and we could definitely tell that summer was on it's way. Hopefully this means the end to the winter bugs that have been going around. Jeff, Dylan and Riley all had the flu the week before last and it was a nasty one. It was a week long flu and seems to have a majority of the area feeling under the weather. We finally got everyone over that bug and then on Friday they called me to get Riley from school because he seemed to have caught the stomach flu that was going around his school. Then on Saturday Dylan started complaining of his throat hurting and I took him in on Sunday morning to see the doc and they found strep throat. Now everyone is on the road to recovery and hopefully this warm weather will chase all the nasty germ bugs away. Here is a quick snapshot of the boys. They have been coming in smelling like dirty little puppy dogs....which is the first sign that summer is on it's way!!!!
