As my readers know, our grandson, Johnny, is an amazing gymnast.
He is ranked 10th in the nation.
A couple of months ago he competed at Visa Cup which….
Qualified him and his team mate, Dylan to compete for the USA National team in the P and G championships held this week.
They are so excited to be there.
Johnny even posted a picture of his hotel room key.
He started competing on Friday and did very well.
You can check out a few of Johnny Jacobson's routines here on his page.

Today he competes between 6:30 and 9:00 EST. (3:30 to 6:00 pst) You can watch him live by going to
I’m so excited to watch him that I can hardly breath….. but at the same time I am nervous.
He has worked so hard at this since he was a little boy… he wants this so badly.. and one tiny slip is all it takes to disqualify him.
Earlier this year he fractured a bone in his back and could not practice for several weeks. The first meet he could go to was the end of March so it really is amazing that he has made it this far this year.
If you look at the picture above where he is doing the iron cross you will notice that he is wearing a black back brace still in some of the events.
Johnny’s “Fan Club” Friends
You can be sure that his friends and family are on pins and needles today.
I hope that you will watch him complete on your computer today and if you are so inclined …. say a little prayer that he will do his best and not get hurt.
Thank you with hugs, Grammy

Wow, that is so awesome. I am excited for you all. I did start watching it and will finish it tomorrow. It is so wonderful to have talented grandchildren.
I loved all of the pictures. You have a right to be proud on this one. I do hope he will be safe and no more accidents.
Blessings, prayers, love and hugs!
I am sorry I missed this post Lura. I was so ill over the weekend I could not lift up my head. I see that Johnny did very well, but I am not surprised. He's a little cracker jack! You have such a talented family Lura. You and John put in all the hard work of bringing them up well and obviously instilled good work habits, self confidence, and a love of the Gospel which does the rest. You should be very rightly proud of all the success you and your lovely children/grandchildren enjoy. Well done! So proud of you all!xxoo
I enjoyed whaghing him and was praying.ooxx
Wishing him the very best! Blessings, Marlene
