Please Let Me Bore You!

This has been a FUN week for my family!  (Actually, the funnest thing about my family is that they can make any week fun).  If you don't want to read about how incrediblly wonderful my neices and nephews are, you can stop right here, but if you do.......I have a few things to brag about!

Years ago, the 4 oldest grandchildren named themselves the T4O (the 4 oldest)....I am not sure that was the most clever name, but they have gotten more clever as the years have gone on.  They tried to be cliquey at first, but it didn't work because "there are no groups or clubs at Grandma's!"  And as each grandchild has grown up, they have naturally become a part of that group.  They get special privelages....like sneaking off to Aunt Ernie's house when everyone is asleep.....or.....well, really nothing else!

Well, this past month, the T40 has really outdone themselves, I am not their mothers, but sometimes I feel like I am, and I am just SO proud!  Here comes the Bragging.

Brynnie (Brynne) - my oldest sister, JoDee's, oldest daughter is happily married and attending Utah State (GO AGGIES!)  She has only been out of high school for a couple of years and her undergraduate is done!  She recently applied for Grad School, and was accepted to every school she applied to, but having Aggie Blood she chose USU and recived a $9,000 scholarship! 

Laney - (Delaney) - my second oldest sister, Kristine's, oldest daughter provided us with by FAR THE BIGGEST NEWS!  She is engaged to Chris!  We are all thrilled because, well, in another life, we think we were all very successful party planners.  But mostly we are thrilled because DELANEY is GOOD to the core and worthy to go to the TEMPLE (Idaho Falls to be exact) in July (on the 21st to be exact) and be married!

JD (Joseph D) - JoDee's second child is graduating from high school this year with a lengthy list of credentials!  Most of them have to do with sports - like being named the 2A Fifth District Player of the Year!  But 2 weeks ago he was also the lead in SINGING IN THE RAIN!  And tonight we got the BEST news!  JD was awarded the Thomas S. Monson Presidential Scholarship (the most prestigious schoalrship that BYU offers), and A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!

Kayla (McKayla) - Kristine's second child participated in Jr. Miss this week.  It is a BIG DEAL in the Foster FAMILY!  Did I say BIG!!!!!!!  Anyway, she was AWESOME!  A "Pro" at everything she did.  She won INTERVIEW,  SCHOLASTIC, TALENT, PHYISCAL FITNESS, and POISE.  And then she Won it all! And in the process got enough money to pay for 1.5 semesters of college! (We will all be attending State Jr. Miss in OCTOBER)!!!! 

She is in the PINK!  Isn't she Beautiful!  (Very funny sidenote:  The girl standing on her left is Tristan Hillman, Nick and Launa Leavitt's grandaugther!  We spent the week Jr. Missing together.  She was Beautiful TOO and very talented!) 


Well, to say the least, I am proud!  They are overcoming all the CRAZY genes we passed on, and doing great things with their lives.  All the grandkids are talented, but most importantly, they are GOOD and make GOOD CHOICES every day!  It makes me so happy that they are so tight and love each other so much!  I am proud!  I know Grandma and Grandpa are proud too!
