Laser Tag!

I had coupons for Laser Quest that expired today, so we took a drive to the local Laser Quest and had a great time tagging each other. Alysse is quite proud of herself in this picture because she won first place on the last game. If you can see Austin's expression, it says it all for where he placed. You have to understand that Austin is quite the marksman normally, so these two games today were very much a disappointment to him. I'd like you all to know I came in dead last. I am terrible at laser tag, but it was fun to watch the kids.

I am sure you noticed I had extra children with me. Alysse had her friend Sasha over, and Vivian, Alysse's other friend, was in town from Georgia. We miss the Ramos kids and are glad to be able to spend time with them this week.

Austin is best friends with Austin who is moving back to Texas this summer which is of great sadness to my Austin. Jacob, Vivien's brother, was able to join in our festivities of the day, too!

This next picture is so cute! Ashlea and David were best buddies when David still lived here, and David couldn't wait to see Ashlea. Of course, being who Ash is she was playing her timid self at first, but then a few minutes later they were chatting up a storm!

One thing I love about being in the military is getting to see our friends who have moved away or have stayed (and we moved)! Now that my kids are older they are experiencing it, too!

Update on James: He is doing great out in the desert heat. He is in class from 6 to 6 everyday in a room with no air conditioning! He gets the joy of eating an MRE for lunch each day, too! Does it get any better than that!
