Mom and Tots Water Fun Day

We had a super fun Mom and Tots at the Moseleys' house on Saturday. We broke out the baby pool, a slip-n-side and a sprinkler. It was a perfect summer play date.

The mommies are Robin Peterson, Melanie Thompson and Cary Cherry. The little bits are Jack Thompson, Anna Peterson, Josiah Moseley, Margaret and Caroline Cherry.

Then we did hooked up the slip-n-slide. The boys didn't fully get the gist of running and jumping, but they still thought it was really fun. And by the way, I (Laura Leigh) was the one who demonstrated how to run and jump on the slide. I'm glad no one caught that on camera!

Daredevil Jack really got into sliding with a few pushes from his mom.

"Hi friend!"

Then we busted out the popsicles, the perfect treat after a day in the sun.

The Cherry ladies: Cary, Margaret and Caroline

Caroline really liked her popsicle!

Baron's Game

We had a Family Night at the Baron's Game last week. We had a great turnout with current members and potential new members. Thank you everybody for coming out. It sure was hot, but it was worth it! Somehow we only have just a few pictures from the game. We'll have to make sure to take more the next time we go!

Jenny's Light Golf Tournament

This past weekend we volunteered at the 2nd Annual Jenny's Light Golf Tournament at Highland Park golf course. We helped by selling drink tickets and setting up for the luncheon. It was a great day on the course and thanks to all who volunteered!

JCRMA Brunch/ UAB's Internal Medicine Spring Party

On Saturday morning we gathered together at Ashley Spann's house for a yummy brunch. We had excellent food, fellowship, and talked about the upcoming year. We had a wonderful spread of fruit, muffins, breakfast casseroles, hash brown casserole, cinnamon rolls, and coffee cake. Needless to say we were all stuffed by the time we left!

Also, Saturday night UAB had their annual "Spring Party" for the Internal Medicine department. They said "good-bye" to the graduating third years, handed out awards, played hilarious video skits, served a delicious dinner and a DJ and dancing ended the night.

Easter Egg Hunt

We had an Easter Egg Hunt for Moms and Tots this month. We dodged the occasional rain shower, but had a blast.
Most of the group: Melanie and Jack Thompson, Avery Lucas, Annalee and Wyatt Murphy, Graydon Lucas, Josiah Moseley, Adeleigh Lucas and Carter Aprahamian.
