I'm not sure how much Shawn Johnson has been talked about outside of Iowa, but here she is already BIG news! She is from West Des Moines and the #1 ranked USA gymnastics girl! WHOO HOO! Today there was a big send off for her and Lolo Jones, also number #1 in hurdles. Lolo is from Des Moines and went to Roosevelt High. Shawn is still a student at Valley High in WDM. Anyhoo, the kids and I went down today for their big send off with our neighbor, Cheryl. Cheryl is friends with Shawn's family so we had FRONT row seats! It was so neat. I sat right next to her Grandma and her aunt. I also met her parents, uncle and cousins! Pretty cool. :) Simon Estes (also from IA!) sang the national anthem.

That's very cool, K! I think it was so great that you had them dressed patriotically.
I kind of like that name Lolo. Some might think I was a little Loco for thinking that it's cool.
