Dear Ole' Jordan High

This was the window when you walked up the stairs into our school you can see it in the picture below if you look closely.

Pioneer's went to.

This is where I went

It's my 20 year reunion tonight in Utah. I didn't go of course. What ages me is that it doesn't even exist now, they tore it down and built the "Mayan" restaurant, theatres, office buildings etc.. in it's place. I went to Jordan High in Sandy, and our mascot was the "Beetdiggers".-Yes, it's true, the Beetdiggers. It was our mascot because years ago...picture little house on the prairie in your mind...the farmers had thriving sugar beet fields that went on and on and school was closed down for 2 weeks during the year so the kids could help the beet topping work force. They rode their horses to school and stabled them in a barn on the property. In 1907, 7 kids met in a church basement until they built the first Jordan High and then they built a second one at the same location-the one I went to, and then they built a third one down the street in a different location. It was a good thing they tore our school down, we had to bring our coat with us to every class because we never knew if the heater worked or not that day. One day the ceiling fell in on a class and the next day everybody wore hard hats. One funny story...our parking lot was across a busy street and they expected everybody to walk down a good distance to the crosswalk to cross the street in the early morning-ya right. So they put up a fence to force us to. I know they were thinking of our safety but we were teenagers. Well, in the middle of the night someone would cut the fence with wire cutters, during the day the principal would get on the intercom and scold us and plead to have the person responsible turn themselves in and he would have someone come fix the fence during the day, the next morning it would be cut again, and this went on and on all year and no one ever knew who kept cutting it. It was a huge mystery. Until years later I found out it was some boys that were friends of mine that were on the basketball team (they told no one) and everybody loved them, including our principal-if he only knew, and all these guys went on missions.-I still can't believe they did it and never got caught. I had a lot of great memories at this school. Everybody knew everybody and we all liked each other. It would have been fun to have gone to my reunion-maybe the next one.

Ugly shoes

I haven't posted a new blog in a while probably because I haven't taken any pictures of anything, but I have been plenty busy. I think in the summer I become the entertainer for my kids because they want to be doing something constantly. I love doing stuff with them and love them being home, especially because Brittany's going to High School next year and I know our lives will get crazier.

About the "Ugly Shoes"...They might be ugly but my Logan doesn't want to wear anything else! He will cry and cry if we can't find them! We went to Disney World last year and bought him some pirate ones and before we left to come home we ran into the hotel and bought some for Caleb, his best buddie. We couldn't find the pirate ones, he got a bright blue color-(not so cute) All he wants to wear are these silly crocs too! It's so funny how much they love them! So the other day I was at the Chandler mall and I bought him sandals like the picture above and he thinks he's the coolest dude ever! Caleb now has his second pair- the flip flop crocs! I love that Logan can put them on himself! So, I guess the moral of this story is...they're comfortable, and awesome, you might agree or thank me if you get a pair, you really need to try them! Oh ya, and the little things you put in the holes are a great incentive to get if they do something to earn them.
