Pics of Emily Ballerina in her latest peformance with the Ballet and Performing Arts dance studio…Emily was in the Sleeping Beauty waltz in Act I and lead the little ballerinas in Animal Kingdon in Act II. The performance was held at the Scottish Rite Temple in El Paso. A very old, beautiful auditorium with 2 spinx’s statues on pillars guarding the front entrance.

The make-up spread - Thanks to Jen!
The lipstick had to be just the perfect shade of Red!
Finally got all Easter album updated (I think). And kids have updated their sites, too. (except Emily – but she says she’s going to update very soon.) Isn’t technology wonderful!!!
And if you have time, you have to check out Facebook pages of the family. It’s hilirous and keeps me totally entertained! You’d be surprised how much you learn about your own children by reading their Facebook pages and checking out their friends. (It’s a little scary, too!)
Yes, the official results are in and Jeffrey Bruce passed the Bar exam! Of course, I knew there was never any doubt, but now that it’s official, I can claim my bragging rights as any good mother is expected to do! We’re very proud of you, Son and know this is just the beginning of great things in store for you! So we’re sending via the wonders of technology our huge and gigantic Congratulations!!
Emily recently recieved an academic achievement award for scoring “distinguised” in three subject areas. Her top ranks were received in Math, Science, and Writing Portfolio. She was honored with all Clark County 4th and 5th graders at a ceremony held at the high school.
Previously posted on AmericanWoman is Alex’s mailing address at the MTC. Here is another cool way to drop him a line…DearElder.com. This is a website that allows you to type a letter and send to him. You still need the address below (MTC mailbox, etc.) but they will print it off and put it in his mailbox the same day – which is pretty cool. He also has a new email address: jachugg@myldsmail.net. Just keep in mind that he cannot email you back, but he can send any replies to his parents and they can forward his message to you. Thanks to everyone for helping to keep Alex pumped up during this transition time!

Coolest blog ever! With talking points about family, fun, football, and other stuff very important to the average American Woman, mother, sister, wife, and aunt! Enjoy and check back often for tidbits of thought-provoking sentiments and some funny stories about everyday life. Plus, as a bonus, you’ll get to see pictures of my two wonderful grandsons!
Seems NASA is not having a good day. It was reported by Aviation Week & Space Technology this morning that a special panel studying astronaut health found that on two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a safety risk. The independent panel also found “heavy use of alcohol” before launch — within the standard 12-hour “bottle-to-throttle” rule, the magazine reported.
Seems like this has some NASA executives in an uproar and fearful of congressional hearings along with the much dreaded additional bad press. Of course you have to sympathize with their concerns due to information also released this morning about a computer sabotage incident and a previous arrest of another astronaut on assault charges related to a love triangle mess. While these are serious actions and definately deserve scruitny of whatever internal process NASA has in place, they can at least take pride in knowing that our finest aviators still are better behaved than most of our professional athletes.
All in all, though, I find it very amazing that all of our astronauts don’t have a little something to relax them before strapping themselves into a multi-ton space craft that sits on top of a couple of highly explosvie contraptions that hurl them up, up and away!
