Cody and Skills USA


Well I am officially old! Cody is in Reno this week pretty much unchaperoned. He is competing in Reno as a part of Skills USA in Promotional Bulletin Boards and Customer Service. He has a partner(Preet) for the promo board competition and she was a huge help in preparing everything. But Cody was the one who presented it and was interviewed by the judges yesterday-they wouldn't even let his partner be in the room! Cody said it was awesome and he thinks they did great! This competition is the State Conference. If he does well he can go to the National Skills USA Conference in June in Kansas City! He has been in Reno since Tuesday and won't be home till tomorrow night. He is staying at Circus Circus in a room with 2 other boys from school but he doesn't know them at all. All the kids get a schedule of the events for the 3 days and a 10pm curfew. Other than that-they are all on their own. Cody and his friend Preet took a cab Tuesday night to an Indian Restaurant. Sounds like he liked the food-however he did call me to see how many Zantac he could take in 1 day! I cant wait to see how he did in his competitions!! I still cant believe he is old enough to be in Reno for 3 days unsupervised!!!

Mirrors Mirrors Mirrors

What is it with us and mirrors lately? Ugh! Less than 2 weeks ago Mike's driver side mirror was stolen right off his truck while parked at work. Also his F150 logo on the tailgate was stolen too! A coworker saw who did it and tried to follow the punks but lost them at a red light.
Then Saturday I decided I wanted a new mattress and box spring so I had them delivered a few hours later. Cody and I took the old box spring out to the garage and leaned it against the wall of the garage just to the side of my car. Well a few short minutes and big gust of wind later I have the passenger side mirror hanging on by nothing but the wires!!
I hope we can get some kind of 2 for 1 deal!! In the meantime Mike is driving around without a drivers side mirror and I am praying the black electrical tape holds on mine!!

(anyone have photo tips on "blue eye" reduction?-I've tried all the camera settings and picasa edits!)
