Lewis Scuttlebutt

Just wanted to do some random updates. Tori got her cast off a couple of weeks ago. So she is working on getting her range of motion back in her wrist. But she's ready to play soccer and keeps complaining about the fact that we aren't playing this session. Alex thinks things went well at the audition for the art school. They are going to be making their decisions tomorrow (Wed) and we should know by Friday if he has been accepted. Then I have to figure out how to pay for it. A couple of weeks ago I decided to apply for a different position at Supervalu. I had an interview on Monday. It's been a long time since I had an interview and was a little nervous. However I did know both people that I interviewed with and have worked with them on other projects. It's hard to get a feel for how it went when all the questions that they ask were went something like this: "What would your best friend say is your best/worst guality?", "Explain a difficult situat...

If anyone one wants to contribute to the Lewis education fund, please feel free........... Alex has a friend that is going to this art school in Eagle, called Arts West. It is pretty expensive. He first brought up going last year and I told him there was noooo way he could go. Well, he has been hanging out with his friend Jeff and has started asking about going again. So, I told him that he would need to see if he can get some scholarships. They are having auditions for scholarship this Saturday and he has done all the leg work, scheduled his audition time, got all his art work together, wrote his 350 work vision statement, had me take his picture. So he seems very determined to go. So tomorrow at 3:40 is his audition. I have mixed emotions. I'm very glad to see him excited about school. But I'm not excited about having to come up with the money to pay for it. I wish him the best of luck tomorrow and I really hope it goes well for him. Good luck, Al...... We Love you and are v...

Wednesday - July 15th a special day. It was Alex's 16th birthday. My, how time flys..... I forced the anti-camera boy to let me take some pictures and since I don't get many, I decided to post them all. After we opened presents, Alex got to decide where we go for dinner. We went to Applebee's and had a nice dinner. Came back home and had DQ ice cake. (Alex's favorite). I made him pose with his sister............. I didn't think I got a smile from him so I made them do it again. Gave up trying to get smiles out of these two. They're thinking I'm crazy.... Maybe I am.... This is how I caught Alex spending his birthday when I got home from work. Believe it or not I got a laugh. It's rare what it does happen. We Love you, Al............... Hope you had a good day.

Monday morning I was working away, when I noticed some people just hanging out outside my window. My desk sit by the windows that run along the front of the building. I was getting kind of annoyed that they were just standing out there. Well, after about 10 minutes, I noticed them starting to move around, kind of excited like, so I started watching out the window. Just so you don't think I wasn't working, I was on a conference call. In pulls the Kenny Chesney's Tour bus. They park the bus outside, so while I'm listening on the call, I watch to see if Kenny is actually going to visit our office. How exciting is that??????? As it turned out it was just his bus, but you could go on it. So I did, and stole a few pictures. It had two bathrooms, Two large flat screen television. It was all white leather interior. This is the bedroom, the bus driver was standing guard duty so that nobody would lay in "Kenny's Bed". He did say that Kenny on tours about 5 months ...

I had a great day yesterday with Family. I started out the morning going to breakfast with Salena's family, Steve and Shawna, it was with Salena's ward. Had French toast, sausage, hash browns, and watermelon. Cayton had fun climbing a the tree. After breakfast, some of us went to Falcon Crest to hit a bucket of balls. I haven't swung a golf club in years. It was fun but I feel it today. After golf, we met at Sharlene's for lunch. Hung out and visited. The little kids played in the kiddie pool. Left Sharlene's to go out to Ryan & Terri's for dinner and swimming. Go a drum solo from Zack, he is getting really good on the drums. I was impressed. Everyone but Tori, Shawna, Salena and I headed to the pool. The four of us stayed at Ryan's to plan our cruise for next year. Then we headed over to the pool. We actually had all the pools to ourselves. After swimming we drove up to Federal Way to find a place to watch the fireworks from, then we headed to Steve ...

This is the newest member of our family. Tori calls him Bam Bam........ He is Shawna's bunny. Tori's friend Alex wanted him but she apparently did get permission from her parents. After 3 days she told Tori she could not keep him, so we got him back. He is a good bunny but the dog doesn't like him. We keep him in the spare bedroom. We have left the pen door open so that he can run around the room. Went in there tonight to find him on the bed. Not sure how he got up there but we got a kick out of him laying on the bed.

Miss T's got to change her hard cast for a brace. She had to promise to wear all the time expect when she showers. At least now she has more mobility with her fingers and she can put lotion on her are. I was still surprised to see how bruised it still is. It is also still a little swollen. but it's getting a lot better. She goes back in two weeks.
