Running, hitting and sleeping

I took Friday off of work so that I could go and watch Mason's Boosterthon Fun Run. Dan always gets to go watch and I have not been able to swing it in the past, so I was really looking forward to it. They had the fun run at 8:00am Friday morning where the temps were in the 40s...COLD! It was also "Crazy Hair" day for Mason's class. He had me give him a mohawk and spray paint it blue and green.

Here, his class is running out onto the field.

Here are the Mom's freezing waiting to see the boys come out on the field. Carolyn (Thomas' Mom), me, Deborah (Connor's Mom), and Millie (Stewart's Mom)

And here is a picture of Mason's crazy hair!!



Now, onto the USS Alabama. We got up early Saturday morning to leave for Mobile, AL. The Cub Scouts were going to spend the night on the ship...how cool!!! They do not allow females on the ship after 8:00pm so, Jack and I stayed in the Battleship Inn while Mason and Dan stayed on the ship. I think I really got the better end of the stick!!

When we got there, we went straigt to the Berth's (bunks) to "stow" their gear. here are a few pictures of the berths.





Here Mason is shooting one of the big guns.



AND...Dan shooting the guns. I think he had as much fun as Jack and Mason. Such a boy thing!!



Mason and Dan woke up EARLY Sunday morning...at 6:00 am. They came to the hotel and got Jack and I up. We ate breakfast, did a little exploring in Mobile and then hit the road.

We got back to Birmingham just in time for Jack's last t-ball game. I finally got a picture of him in his uniform looking all cute.


Below is a good picture of Jack throwing the ball, a team picture, and a picture of him with his great coach!!





T-ball has been great for Jack this season! He has done really well and seemed to really enjoy it.

We are now starting Basketball for Mason with Upward. Jack wants to play basketball, but is still too young. Next year he will be able to play.
