Hi to all,

We hope everyone had a fun weekend.

We had abusy week last week. Derrick starts his new job today. He is exited , and scared, and sad to leave his co-workers. He will be spending 1/2 the day at his old job, and the other 1/2 of the day training for his new job.

On Friday , Derrick and I went to go see an art exhibit at the S.U.B. building at Boise State. Unfortunately the exhibit was closed. Just as we were getting ready to go, guess who we saw. THE WHOLE FOOTBALL TEAM !! We got to fallow them to the Homecoming rally. We gat to talk to a couple of the players, and listen to coach Pete. After a rally full of loud music and even louder collage students we headed to Cold Stone, and just walked around down town Boise ( one of my favorite things to do)

I am in full party planning mode. Audra will be turning 13 on the 23rd. She wants to go paint pottery for her party. I am also busy helping plan the General Relief Society meeting dinner. We are going to have a backed potato bar. We have a great group of ladies working on the dinner. I am sure that it will be wonderful.

Audra is doing well. We went to het heart doctor last week. Things look good. If she would just stop growing we could get it under control. We all know that is not going to happen any time soon, so in the mean time we just do what the doctors say.

Brooklyn, is doing well. She had a nasty spill at school last week, and cut her knee open . The next day she ran into the neighbors car with her bike. ( She is defiantly my daughter) Grace is not her middle name. She is really liking her new school, and has made some good friends.

Porter is doing great. He is such a fun boy. He makes us all laugh. He and Brooklyn have been pracicing there parts for the primary program. He wants to make sure he know all the songs, so that he can do " a good job" He is so blasted cute!!

We hope all is well with everyone. We love you, and pray for you.

Love,

The 5 leggs

FUn Weekend

We had such a fun weekend !! I picked the kids up from school and headed into Boise. We all got to see Derricks new office space, and meet some of his new coworkers. They seem like really nice ladies. After that we went to the Discovery Center. The kids love that place. So many hands on things, and there was hardly anyone there, so the kids didn't have to wait in line for anything.They had such a good time.

After the Discovery Center we went to the little park, just across the river. The kids played , and Brooklyn tried he hand at photography. ( See picture of Mom and Dad at the park.) After the park it was off to Arts in the Park. We all had fun looking at all the cool, fun, and interesting stuff and people. The kids liked the puppets the best. We sat down in the shade and just hung out and listened to the music.

By then we were all starving , so off to Wendy's we went. We got our tummy's full, and everyone was ready for bed. What a great day we had !!


Derrick starts his new job on Monday, and I have my first subbing job tomorrow. Audra has her big heart check up on Wednesday. We feel good about everything. She is doing well, but better safe than sorry. Brooklyn started tap last Thursday, and is in seventh heaven ( she gets ti be in class with her buddy Sarah). Porter is still on the waiting list to get into Visions, but in the mean time is enjoying his class, and has made some new friends.


We hope you all are doing well. Please know that we love you all, and that no matter where you may be, we pray for you always,

Love, the 5 Leggs

Labor Day 2008

We hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. Our weekend started with the GREAT news that Derrick will have a new position at Boise Cascade come September 15Th. He will be moving into the accounting department, and working with the accounts receivable. This is a big step forward for him , and we feel so blessed for this opportunity. It is something new and different and will give Derrick the chance to learn and grow.

Friday, Audra was able to spend the night with her cousin Caitlin at Grandpa and Grandma Leggs house. They went out to dinner at her favorite place ( Golden Corral) had fun talking, playing and coloring. Back at home the rest of the 5 Leggs had a backyard camp out. We had Uncle Nate and Aunt Terrie over and had smores . ( Mom even let them make smores for breakfast on Saturday) Mom only made it till about 2:00 a.m. ( I do not like to camp out, not even in the backyard)

Saturday was Bronco day. Derrick, Brooklyn, and I went to the game with some of Derricks family, while Audra and Porter hung out at Grandma and Grandpa Loveland's. Brooklyn loved all the football goodies, Mom yelled and clapped a bunch, and Dad just sat back and enjoyed watching the Broncos win ( 49 to 7).

Monday was spent sleeping in ( one of my favorite things to do) and keeping a close eye on the hurricane. Derrick works with the Boise Cascade mill in Der rider Louisiana. It was scary for a while, but it looks like everything is going to be fine. Most important everyone is O.K. Out thoughts and prayers were with them , and we feel so blessed that those we know and love were kept from harm.
