Jordan made SBO!

On Thursday, May 20 we found out that Jordan made SBO! We are so proud of him! I guess everyone loved his video...even the teachers. One of his teachers emailed me and told me it was 'HILARIOUS' we are trying to figure out how to get the video on the blog. Great job Jordan!

Through all this, the whole family except for Jordan has been sick :( I got put on meds for a sinus infection. I took Huddy to the Dr. yesterday and he has infected tonsils, both ears are infected and a sinus infection...poor kid. Joel and Madi are sick too, but haven't seen the doctor yet.

Oh! One other great thing that happened this week (sarcastically)... Joel decided to shave Huddy's hair. I was in the shower when it happened. I walked out and saw Hudson, he is BALD! Well, it's a good thing hair grows back and Hudson isn't old enough to care AND he is a boy. OH JOEL! WHY????

Braces

What would it be like to be a teenager without braces? Jordan is now in Phase 2 of having a beautiful smile. He will have this set on for about 15 months. His mouth has been killing him the last couple days...poor kid!

S.B.O. Tryouts

Jordan is trying out for Student Body Officer. He went through the interview, and was chosen as a candidate, along with 9 other students...so it's crunch time!! His platform was based on the Old Spice commercial of "Anything is possible..." He did a great job of making the video, and posters. Luckily he had some great Campaign managers ha ha! I hope he makes it. He will do a great job! The vote is on Tuesday, May 18. Good Luck Jordan!!

Talented Young Writer!

Our cute little Madi was chosen by her teacher to submit a piece of writing authored by Madi.

Talented Young Writers is a district sponsored special program open to students who demonstrate an exceptional talent in writing. Jordan School District used the selected pieces of writing in a publication with other talented writers. They also allowed the students to read their writings. The facilitator liked the poem so much, she had Madi recite it 2 times to the audience, then again privately to the principal. Madi did an awesome job of writing, and acting!

Her Poem reads:
When I am smiling I am happy.
When I am frowning I am sad.
When my mouth is shaped like an O I am scared.
When my mouth is straight, I am mad.
