Silver

 Ruby has enjoyed being on the Silver team in Gymnastics this year.  She competed in 6 competitions Jan- May 2024.  She goes to the gym 7 or 8 hours a week and is so dedicated.  She has never missed a practice unless we have been on vacation.  

Ruby placed 1st on floor at 3 different competitions.  Floor is her favorite and best event.  Her highest score ever was when she got a 9.7 on beam!  

She competed in the State Competiton at the end of May and here are her scores and places:

Vault: 8.85

Bars: 8.6

Beam: 9.7 and 2nd place

Floor: 9.225 and 3rd place

All-around: 36.375

Tesla

 Our minivan broke in April and it was going to cost $1,500 to fix it, so we decided to get a new car!  The van was getting old- almost 15 years and had nearly 200,000 miles on it.  We got the van with Ruby was 2, Diego was 5, and Eli was 8.  

We got a Tesla on May 1st!  We love it.  It is black with tan interior.  It's a  2017 X model and seats 6 people. It cost $35,000.  We put $3,000 down and had to finance the rest.  

We ended up fixing the van and then selling it on Facebook Marketplace for $8,500 cash.  It was fun to have 85 $100's.  We took them directly to the bank though.

Cesar also gave his car a little mechanic love and put in a new muffler one day.  We may sell his car in the next little while, but not sure yet.
