Heart Healthy Day at Lincoln

Fit Kids and Heart Healthy Day at Lincoln

Today I had the priviledge to talk about being heart healthy and how our hearts work to the third grade classes at Lincoln Elementary School in Spencer, IA. We had a great time. My son helped me demonstrate how our heart pumps blood through our bodies and then we all listened to our heart beat. We discussed ways to be heart healthy. Good job on being such good listeners and having so many great questions.

Our Pride and Joy

Today our oldest son went to his Junior Prom. They are our pride and joy to say the least. A special thanks to my youngest...even though he was sick he agreed to take a picture for mom.

Fun Facts

This year I have my 20th Class Reunion. We are also celebrating my hometown's 75th "Pow-Wow". In honor of the event we are finding old photos. You can't read the caption for the newspaper article because the print is too small, but in 1978 it seems I was somewhat of a fortune teller. I stated my future plans were to go to college, become a nurse and get married.

Professional Women's Luncheon Sioux Center, IA

Today I had the honor of being the speaker for the Sioux Center Chamber of Commerce annual Professional Women's Luncheon. I spoke about the American Heart Association programs and upcoming Heart Walks. I also talked about my busy year as Mrs. Iowa International 2009.

Clay County Fair Queen Pageant

Tonight I made an appearance at our county fair queen pageant. The Clay County Fair is held every year in September in our hometown of Spencer, IA. This year's new queen is Kelsey Salton. She will go on to compete in the state fair queen competition this summer. Her older sister was the state fair queen a couple of years ago. Congratulations Kelsey!
