WOW!!! We have had a fun spring.

I think I will just run down the family and let you know what everyone has been doing. Sorry it is a long post. I need to learn how to do slide shows.

Eric:

This spring he took a break from coaching ball and enjoyed watching as the proud Dad from the stands. This has been good for me. He has built me some great garden boxes for my yard and now we are getting a great garden shed. Yippy. Thanks for all your hard work.





Talor:

Talor finish her first year up at USU. She had a great year. She came home and found a job in about one week at Lowes. She was tired of me nagging one week was all she could stand. Thanks heaven for small blessings. Today she took the plunge literally. She plunged to the ground going 120 mph from about 13000 feet in the air. She loved it and is ready to go again. I stood on the ground watching for the parachute to open. Thank heaven for large blessings.

Suiting up.


Kelsey, Marianne and Talor before.


Talor and coach.


Loading on plane.


Lift off. This was Kelsey's first time even flying in a plane and she jumps out. LOL


If you look close you can see the plane and one small white dot jumper.


She is up there some where.


This is Talor in the air.


Coming in for a landing


After. They had a great time. You go Girls


Allie:

Allie has just finished her first year in High School. She really liked High School. She ran track for the high school this spring. She did pretty good. She broke her personal time everytime she ran. She ran the 1600, and the 3200. She has also loved hanging out with her friends every minute she can. She has been playing in a few compitition softball tournaments. She is making her Dad proud. Allie, Braden and Eric got to meet David Archuleta a few weeks ago. Braden was thrilled. Allie said Derek Jeter would have been more fun to meet. No she did not want her haircut that short. She asked for one inch off and long swooping bangs. 6 inches later she was crying. She cried for 2 days. Allie went on her first date to morp this spring. She also got her licence a few weeks ago. Wow. I love not having to pick her up late anymore.






Joshua:

Josh just finish his first year in middle school. He did so well. He finished his last band concert EVER, he said. He also went fishing with Eric and Brother Clegg from our ward on the Green. He chose not to play baseball this year. He has loved scouts and didn't want to miss any camps at all. He has gone rock hounding at Topaz mountain and to the Sand Dunes so far.






Braden:
Braden still has 3 weeks of 5th grade left. He played baseball this spring. He was on the A's. His team took second place. He had a great time until he broke his arm. Then he became the teams loudest cheerer. Slow down on that scooter from now on. He did get David Archuletas autograph on the first cast.






Hannah:

Hannah still has 3 weeks of 2nd grade left. She was very busy this spring playing softball and doing dance competitions. Next year I told her she had to chose one and she chose dance. No surprise there. She loves the dressing up, make-up, glitter, and performing. She was a snake in the Indiana Jones production number and just cute in there red and white candy striped costumes.








and Me:
As you can see I should have posted many times this spring but I have been a little busy. I finished spring semester of school and am taking a math class during the summer. I have been getting ready for girls camp and keep working in my yard. Of course last week all I did was watch the rain and hail beat my yard up. I hope it pulls out of it.

Joshua Eric Figgins Attorney of Let's Make A Deal


April 17th was Josh's birthday. He wanted to get an air soft gun. I was having a hard time making up my mind to get him one or not. So we didn't get him one for his birthday. So last week he presented us with this contract. This is what it said.


Contract

Please agree with the terms
(From your sons lawyer)


I the wanter of an air soft gun if I get one will follow these rules if parent/guardian lets their son/daughter get one. I will not threaten anyone. I will only shoot at someone if wanted to be shot at. I will not aim or point at anyone unless in a war or wanted to be. Only get a clear see through gun that doesn't look real. If I don't follow these rules I will insert one dollar to my savings and give parent/guardians one. Please write down anything that might make a better chance of getting one. If you sign it means yes.


Parent Signature Son Signature


Parents amendments:
Will not be shot in or at any house. I will not take the gun to school or on any school grounds. Will be kind to Mom, Dad and siblings FOREVER! Will give mom a bedtime kiss every night. I will do every job I am supposed to do. If any of these rules are not followed I will surrender the gun and bullets to my parents.


We laughed really hard. With a lot of talk we all signed. I even have had a few kisses already even though he has not gotten the gun yet.

The picture is from his birthday. I got him a new helmet he likes, because I caught him jumping up and down my front stairs on his pogo stick without a helmet. He is getting braver than I want to watch.

Happy Birthday Braden! One Day Late

Boy the days come and go so fast I don't even have time to keep on my Blog. Before it got to far away I wanted to tell you Braden had his 11th Birthday yesterday. Wow once again it blows my mind how fast they are growing up. We all woke Braden up by singing Happy Birthday to him. He had the biggest smile on his face it made me smile. Last night Grandma mo and Elissa's family came over and we opened presents and had his Birthday Lemonade Pie. (Gluten Free) It was really good. Yes I forgot the candles and put two matches in it for him to blow out. It looked like a number 11.Then he went to Bed with a big smile on his face. Must of been a great day. Happy Birthday Braden we love you.

Quickly Catching Up

My it has been so long. Where does time go. A Few quick highlights from the past month. Braden and Hannah were off track for two weeks. They spent it playing, Off track bowling,(Thanks Elissa for driving) and we went to the Springville art museum for my Humanities class. Grandma Mo came with us.
Talor came home for the week of spring break. It was nice to have her around.
Hannah had her eye surgery. Which went well and looks great. Braden got his Arrow of light from scouts that same day. So Talor was playing big sister parent that day. Sorry I need to have Eric help me fix the pictures. So you have to turn your head for now.
