Elainie got a new bedroom set! I'm almost as excited about it as she is!

She picked out an excellent set!

I bought her a new dresser with mirror, armoire, and headboard at Redeker's.

Then we went to The American Store and got her a new double mattress and boxspring set.

It is a very nice set. Elainie loves it!

 

Some photos are included below:

We decided to start tearing her room apart for it's remodeling this summer. So, another photo album will be on it's way!

 

Have a good one!

 

 

It's official. Jordan Motors was taken over by Lithia Motors.

Jason went through filling out a job application, knowledge testing, and interviews to keep his job.

It has been a long three months, but it's great to finally know that he gets to keep his job. Yeay!

 

Mollie, the RN I worked with got a new job. She is a very good nurse and will be missed!

 

My vacuum cleaner wouldn't suck and this has been going on, off and on for several months so I finally went out and bought a new one. The old one is a Bissell, the new one is a Hoover Cyclonic. It sucks up the dirt TONS better than the old one. Fills up so fast that it makes me wonder IF the other one ever sucked!!! LOL!

 

Alexis went to Gymnastics practice on Sat. and they spent a lot of time on the Balance Beam this time. Alexis landed several cartwheels on the low beam. That was pretty exciting to her. They've also been practicing the uneven bars and floor tumbling and falling flat on their backs on the mats. They are working on the vault now also... running and jumping onto it. Fun!

 

In Tumbling class at CR Dance Studio, Alexis' class is learning thier dance recital routine. Alexis, so far has to do a Running round off followed by a stradle jump across the stage by herself. She has been working hard on this and now says she wants to do something harder... LOL!

 

Alexis and I watched the Gymnastics American Cup yesterday on tv because there is a gymnast from Iowa who competed. Her name is Shawn Johnson and she WON the American Cup title!!! She is 15 years old and she entered on that level just to gain experience... boy, did she ever! She may be on the 2008 USA Olympic Team.  That would be so exciting for her and for us to watch her. Stick it, Shawn!

 

Alexis also got news that she is on the Minor Girls softball team coached by Teri Ward. We don't have any other information at this time.

 

Alexis also decided that we needed to redo her bedroom. She picked the colors and everything. It is not complete. We have things on order that haven't come yet, but you can get a sneak peek at her room in the Home Improvement Photo Album.

 

Elainie has been busy with Freshman Hitting practice & confirmation class. More news for her below.

 

John has been, well, hanging out.

 

Both John and Elainie got their driver's permit last month - so, stay off the sidewalks!
