Taras baby shower

Jenni and Val planned Taras baby shower. It was hosted at Vals parents house, it is such a beautiful place. A lot of people came and supported Tara. For my gift I sewed a blanket, it was mostly green and pink. The fabric had watermelons and flowers on it. I had put the babies name on it thinking they were possitive on a name but I was wrong. I can fix it so I just gave it to her and told her i would fix it when they knew the name. I am so happy for both Tara and Austin. they are going to be great parents. Chris and I are so excited to be an aunt and uncle. :) Their baby is due January first and they are having a baby girl!

Samuels Homecoming

Ranaes missionary just got back from his mission. He actually got back on Ranaes birthday. Funny fact Samuel's dad also got back from his mission on his wifes birthday. What a coincedence. So we drove about 3 hours to get to Sam's church by 11 o'clock. He had a great talk. He went to Brazil on his mission and we got to hear him speak the language when he bore his testimony. What a great guy, now we just have to see if he ends up in the family or not. If he doesnt this page might be a little weird but either way he was a great missionary and worth writing about. Great job Sam!

Williamson Family Pic

We did the Williamson family pictures today! The place was beautiful and everyone looked so good! Not going to lie though it is so much harder to take pictures when youre in them. They turned out all right considering that. :)

Stock Broke

I got a call that Stockton had an accident. He has broken his arm awhile wrestling at practice. Apparently he was wrestling a kid and the kid had lifted the him up in the air. Stockton stuck his arms out to catch himself and he broke is forearm. Luckily for him Hayden was there to help out during the time that it took for mom and dad to get to him to take him to the hospitle. He is doing alright just in a little pain. He has to ware a cast for a few weeks.
When I got this call I was at my in-laws house celebrating Chris's birthday. It was so much fun. We had a delicious diner. Grandma and grandpa came too. Grandpa was so funny, he was wrestling Chris. He said that he could take him on. He grabbed chris and when he got his arm over Chris he said "take a picture". He also wrestled Cordell, we thought that Cordell was going to drop him cause he picked him up in the air. But grandpa claimed he was winning. I love my family.

Married FHE

We had us adn 3 other couples hanging out on monday night. We went to Chad and Kerris house to carve pumpkins and make surgar cookies. It was so much fun and nice to spend time with some of our married friends. Chriss pumpkin needs therapy now. He made a really good face, then he made a Y for BYU in the side, later he stabbed it to death and cut a big whole in the back. He called it the TV. My pumpkin was supposed to be the joker but he eyeball tore of so I just cut both off so now its just a normal pumpkin face. Chade and Kerri made Micky Mouse, which turned out super cute. Megan made a witch and Tyler did a haunted house. They both looked so good, they traced them from a carving kit. The other couple was Erica and Andrew who shared a pumpkin and did a A and U for their football team. We also made yummy sugar cookies and decorated them. Yum yum yum! :) what a fun night!

Williamson

Today is Sunday, we are spending most of our day with Grandma and Grandpa Williamson. Last night they had the grandkids come over and spend the night. The older kids didnt go but we got up early to meet them at church. It was cool cause Chriss grandparents bore their testimonies, Chris and I did as well but it was neat. After that the whole family went to their house. We ate, played games, and just hung out. It was so fun and nice to hang out with everyone and to have everyone their together. I love Chriss family.

Birthday #24

Today is Chriss 24 birhtday! He keeps talking about how old he feels! What will his birthday be like when he is 44? I had lots of ideas of things that I wanted to do for his birthday this year but when I told him he said he just wanted to relax. I was fine with that. So he worked out and then went to play football with his friends. I cleaned the house and made a birthday sign to hang up in the living room for when he got home! When he got home he opened the presents that he didnt know about. This year he got the new ipod, 2 gyms shorts, and Lion King the movie. I asked him what it was he wanted to do for his birthday. He said he just wanted to go to the mall and walk around. So thats what we did. We even ran into June, Steve and the family. We also went out to my parents house to spend the night so we could go see Grandpa Williamson the following day. He played xbox with my brothers and watched football. It was nice to hang out with my family I just hope that Chris had a good day! My family gave him another pair of gym shorts and a tie.

Mascot Bowl

Today was the Mascot Bowl. We only stayed for one quarter but that took them about an hour. It was pretty fun, there were alot of people there though so it was a little crowded. We definitly want to go next year though. The Mascots are very entertaining. Im excited and next time we will remember to go early and get better seats!

A Saturday

Today is Saturday, it was nice to sleep in cause I havnt had a sleep in day in what seems forever. Once I did get up around 8:30 I cleaned the house. When Chris got back from working out we got ready. Today is Chris's Mission reunion so were going down there to see everyone. There werent very many people that were Chriss campanions. He was a little disappointed but there were a couple of people that Chris was happy to see too so it wasnt for nothing. They had delicious food, and a slideshow of pictures of the guys just like they did last year. They also took us into the sacrament room and asked the missionaries if they would like to come up and share something they learned on their mission that they have been able to us or see even now that their home. At first everyone seems disappointed but it ended up being very uplifting. It was very much enjoyed.



We were there for about 4 hours when we left we went up to my parents house. Today is the Homecoming for for Hayden. He had asked Tehina to the dance which is themed the Mascarade dance. My mom had asked me to take pictures of Hayden and his group. They were late getting home so we didnt have time to do alot of pictures and it had started getting dark I was a little bummed but at the same time right before it got dark I got some really cool looking pictures. After pictures I helped my mom and dad who were making and serving diner. It was pretty fancy! My parents thought of everything. They seemed to have fun and it was pretty fun helping out. Chris watched the game until the kids left then we all watched the new XMen with my parents. We didnt get home till one.

The Cabin

We went up to Austins families cabin to spend sometime with the family. It was so nice to get away for 2 days and relax. Right when we got there we layed down and just watched tv waiting for the game to start. Emma got really bored so she went out on the deck to practice her leaps for her dance class. We could not stop laughing cause she was making the cabin shack and every time she landed there was a big BOOM! We could not stop laughing and she didnt know that we were even watching her. This is the BYU vs UTAH game, so its kinda a big deal. We made diner around 5:30 then Emma went and got ready. I brought my camera out so that I could get some cute pictures in the beautiful nature. The pictures turned out pretty cute. Its easy to get good pictures though when the person your photoing is cute! So BYU lost Im sure you know. The worst part about it was we had to listen to chriss silly comments the rest of the time. After that we went to bed. We all had a hard time sleeping cause it was cold and its just not the same as being in your own bed. In the morning we had breakfast. We made pancakes, eggs, and sausage. It was soooooo yummy. After we cleaned up breakfast we watched 17 Miracles. This is our way of making learning something for sunday. When the movie was over me, Tara, Austin, Greg, and Emma went on a walk down to the river. Oh and of course Molly came. It was nice to get out and smell the open air. Emma found a cool looking caterpillar. To finish our day we had lunch which was carniasoda. Then we cleaned up and headed home.

Elisa

Today is Elisas baptism! Everyone is so proud of her. It was so cool to see her get baptised. Elisa is such a happy girl. We went over to Steph and Bobbys house for breakfast. The food was great, they had lots of fruit and muffins. After it was over we went and watched Calvin play football. He didnt win but he played really good. When the game was over we all went out to Chikfalay to eat. It was nice to spend time with Chriss extended family. Chris went back with them to watch the football game. I on the other hand had to go back to work at seven peaks on labor day. It is the last day of seven peaks though so Im just going to get it all over with.

Football

Chris went to play tackle football with his buddies like he does every thursday. This time I got a call that he was at his parents house getting a blessing because he got hurt playing. Thank goodness for his family. I didnt have a way of getting to him so Josh drove Chris home and his mom drove our car. Chris is ok he just hurt his knee and probably wouldnt be playing or running for awhile. Im just glad that he is ok.

Homecoming

Hayden is asking Tahina to the dance! The only reason Im putting this in the book is because I helped Hayden ask her and it was a great idea. The theme of the dance is a mascurade. So we printed of pictures of famous guys, cut their heads and drew bodies for them. Then we made them masks for the mascurade. The plan was to put a note on the door that said Someone wants to ask you to the dance and he is waiting inside. So she would go inside and and all the pictures would be placed inside her house. The last place she would look is in her room so in their we had a pic of hayden that said "I dont want to hide anymore, seems like everyone wants to ask you to the dance but I hope that you will say yes to me!" I thought that it was cute and fun!

My Photography

Rocky Mt. Elementry

Today I had 2 job interviews! Im looking for a new one because Seven Peaks Season is almost over! So I need a new job! my interviews were both at schools. One was Lake Ridge middle School and the other one was at Rocky Mountian Elementry. They both included working with special needs. Both of them seemed to be fun but I preferred to work with little kids and with more than one student so Rocky Mt. was perfect for me. They called me a few hours after and said that they wanted me to work in one of the classes. So I start on Tues.! Im so glad that I got the job, I am nervous but excited at the same time.

Joshs 18th birthday

Today is Joshs birthday, he is turning 18. Chris went to Allen Purviss bachler party playing football. I went to Dawnas house to hang with the inlaws. It was pretty fun! It was nice to just hang out with everyone. Tara and Austin were there at the beginging and then after they left Jenni and Cordel came. Dawna had made this really cool looking cake for Josh. It looked like a scene from lion king. Nobody cut the cake because it just looked so cute and it also looked like it took a long time to make. Luckily there were two cakes which both tasted good im sure! Happy Birthday Josh!

AF Canyon Fun

Today is meme and momos 50th Anniversary and it is also Joshs 18th birthday. We went to the AF canon with the family. Chris and I got subway because it was kinda bring your own thing. Then we had cake. We sang happy birthday and happy anniversary. The cake was so yummy. After that we played the not-so newly-wed-game. It was so funny, we asked meme and momo questions about eachother like "what was youre guys first date? where did you met? where did you go on your honeymoon?" stuff like that. Surprisingly Grandma had a hard time and Grandpa remember everything in detail. Loved it.

Family Reunion

This year our side of the family is in charge so we did it in Murray at a water park. They had an inside and outside pool but the outside was super crowded so we figured that we would have more fun in the indoor one even though it was smaller there was nobody in it. The food was delious and there was so much differnt kinds of food to choose from. After we ate is when we went to the indoor pool. First we went into the competative pool and just played around doing laps. We also went to the kid pool that had a slide. We went on it over and over again. It may not have been very big but it sure was fast. Chris kept flipping around on the slide. The last time that Chris went down the slide Sarah and I were watching him and he was laughing and twisting. Then He turned the corner and we heard a big bang and he came back around the corner and he was holding his head. I went down the slide super fast to make sure he was ok. When we got to the bottom his nose was bleeding and the blood was all over his mouth and his chin. He went and cleaned it off then we were done swimming. Tahina came with us and so when we left we took her and the boys with us to Trafalga to play. We played lazer tag times, rock climbed, and got dipp and dots. It was so much fun!

Play Day

Chris and I had a great day. To start off we went to Seven Peaks. We got there right when it opened at 9:30 so there was hardly anybody there. We got our tubes and then tried lots of the slides. I hadnt been on any of the slides before. It was a blast and Chris knew all the tricks to get it to go fast. Then we went and layed in the wave pool. It was so much fun to just be with Chris and have fun. Later that day we to Greg, Tara and Austins work party for 1800 contacts. That was the most leagit Party ever. It was a Harry Potter Party and the went all out. They had tonz of different tents set up were you could go do activites like Getting sorted, get a wand, look at reptiles, ext. Later they had Sports comedy come. It was so much fun.

The Hospitle

Today was my day off. I was up cleaning the house when I realized that I had a voice mail from my dad. It was my dad explaining that my mom was taking to the hospitle last night because she was in a lot of pain and had just got surgery to remove her appendix. Even though its not life threatening I couldnt help but cry to think of my mom in that much pain. I quickly showered and then drove to the hospitle. luckily it was the Timpanogis Hospitle so it was just 3 minutes away and I could get there quickly. She is just amazing, even thought she was suffering she still was smiling and cracking jokes. Awhile I was there Ron, Krista, Sarah, and Teri also came to visit. I stayed for about an hour or so. Then when Chris got off of work we went and got her chocolate pretzels and went to visit her again. Before we went home Chris and dad gave her a blessing. I am so greatful for the priesthood.

Memorial Day

Today is memorial day but I have work and Chris doesnt have work. Hayden and Stockton spent the night last night and then I took them to my job to play. I got them and Chris all a pass of all passes. Chris stayed home because he didnt want to go without me. The boys came in 2 times to see me. I took them to Wendys for lunch on my break. It was pretty fun. 2 girls that I work with tried to get their numbers but they said they could look them up on facebook. So funny. I got off work early so we went back to my apt picked up Chris and went to Trafalga. We did golfing and lazer tag. It was so much fun. We went home to drop the boys off but my parents werent there because they went to see Transformers 3. We hung out and then went home and hung out just the two of us. What a great day.

My 20th Birthday!

Today I am turning 20, so now I am no longer a teenager! Chris had to work today but he let me get my presents early because I needed something fun to do awhile he was gone. I cleaned then I played with my presents. Chris got me the Wii along with the "Just Dance 2" game. It is so much fun. Chris actually surprised me by getting home really early. I was thinking 4 or 5 but he got home at 12:30. So I hopped in the shower and got ready to go out. First Chris took me out to The Pizza Factory. He even told them that it was my birthday so they got me free ice cream. It was all so good. Then we went and saw "The Green Lantern". I had a great birthday this year.

Fathers Day

Today is fathers day! My mom is in Florida still and my brothers are working to help John Festin out. So my dad is alone today so we decided to go hang out with him. Before the boys left we did presents for my dad. This year we got my dad "Superman" on blue ray. We also did my bday presents cause it was the closest day that I would be out for my birthday. My mom got me a purse, and a step for photography. We also stopped by Chris's parents place. We gave him the Tangled soundtrack. I hope that he enjoys it. Dawna is also out of town but she is coming back tonight so we also helped clean up alittle. When we got home I realized I forgot my work shorts at my parents cause I let Sarah borrow them for John. So I got to just sit and talk to my dad for a few hours till Sarah got back. I also got Chris a present for fathers day. I got him a book called "The 5 Love Languages of Love" and a new scripture case. Hope that he likes them.

Road Trip

Chris and I are drove down to Elko today to pick up the Barkers. It was a long drive but it was also nice to spend some quality time with eachother. Honestly the drive was not very pretty though, there isnt really anything to look at. Chris drove to Elko and I drove some of the way back but About half way back I started falling asleep so we needed to switch.
It was nice to have them out here again. My mom and her sister are all going to Florida to visit grandma and grandpa so their coming out here to stay so someone can take care of them. Rachel, Sarah, and Lindsay stayed over at our place one night. It was pretty fun. We watched a the "Skeleton Key" then went to bed. Chris had work the next day so I made them pancakes that tasted good this time. Then we went to take pictures but I forgot my camera so we went back and got yogurt at yogurt land. We just did pictures down at the lake again. The pictures werent that great but it was the only time and place we could do. Im sure going to miss them when they leave again.

Dancing

I love my husband so much! Tonight he took me dancing! It was so much fun! Our friends Cole Anstead and Alyssa Witham were there with us. This is the dance that Chris and I met at 2 years ago. Going to it brought back so many memories of that day. It felt like old times cause I would be on one side with Alyssa and Chris would be on the other with Cole and I would look at him. Im so lucky! Chris doesnt like dancing like I do so I am very happy that he was willing to take me anyway!
June 11

Sweet 16

Hayden is turning 16 tomorrow! My mom and dad dave him permission to go to a dance tonight. Hayden was asked to the dance by Tahina. Hayden answered her by getting some pink ballons and putting them in a box. Each ballon looked like a piggy! On top of the box it said I will only go with you when pigs fly! She opens the box and out come the piggy ballons floating. Taped to the bottom of the strings is a paper that said yes! I loved helping him make it and dropping it off at her house! He rang the door and hopped in the car. Happy Birthday Hayden!

Family Over

My family came over to see the house and have diner. I made home made lasagna, corn on the cob, strawberry lemonade, watermelon, and strawberries. Not to brag but it was pretty darn good. Im trying to be a better cook. Its not my favorite thing to do but man does it make me feel good when I make something and see people enjoying it. After we ate the boys all played a basketball game on the Xbox awhile me and my mom talked.

May 29, 2011

Memorial Day

Today Chris had work but he enjoyed it because they were so slow so him and the others played halo for more than half the time! My work called and told me they were closing the park so I ended up not having work. So I cleaned the worked out, cleaned the house, and practiced my flute. I also went to my friend Shaleces apt. from 1-3 . Chris got home at 3. We went store looking until it was time to go to my parents house. My parents had a pot luck. It was so yummy. I tried to make peanut butter bars but I forgot to bake it because I made it the night before and put the frosting on this day. My family ate half of it before I told them to stop because it wasnt cooked yet. They were all like "oh that explains it" ha ha silly family. I love hanging out with them!

May 30, 2011

BBQ

We decided to have a yummy diner with Chade, his wife, and her brother. We had a BBQ on our grill, we made steak, pineapple, and asperigus. As well as corn on the cob. It was so good! We went out of the front grass to eat on a blanket. Kind of like a piknic.

May 15, 2011

Seven Peaks

So I got a job working at Seven Peaks Water Park. I work in the front office answering phones and setting up peoples accounts. Its a good job so far, at the begining im not getting alot of hours but as soon as we open I will be getting alot more hours. Plus my supervisor said that I can pick up as many shifts as I want. Its only a summer job so I am going to keep looking for a new one.

Mothers Day

Today is mothers day! Right after church we went to my parents house. We got my mom some pants that she had pointed out before, and some swedish fish. We hid the presents but Chris kept giving them away! Lucky for us my mom didnt know weather Chris was telling the truth or trying to though her off so she didnt look in the places that Chris was saying even though he was telling her exactly were they were. It was pretty funny. Then we just hung out and watched movies until it was time to go to Chris's family diner.We gave Chriss mom some Dove Chocolate. The food was so good.It was so nice to see everyone again. Right after we left we got a txt from Chriss mom saying that Tara and Austin had announced that they were going to have a baby! I guess that we left just a little to soon! What a better present to give mom than to make her a grandma! We are so happy and excited for them! Congradulations guys!
Happy Mothers Day!

Surprise!!!

We had a surprise birthday party for Chade. It was pretty fun! Chade came down and hung out with Chris because he thought that his wife was at work. I was also thought to be out with some of my girl friends. We set up party stuff awhile Chris and Chade were hanging out. Then Keri called Chade and told him that she got home early and wanted to give him his present. ;) So he came up and we yelled surprise. The friends that were over were Keris brother Jake and his girlfriend, Cole Brett, us, and one more friend I hadn't met before. They stayed up till 1 playing Halo.Keri and I put the headphones on and talked trash to people that we played against. It was so much fun! Chris was getting super hyper, he was acting pretty crazy! The snacks were good too. Keri got some treats that she had in Argentina, so good! I hope that Chade had a good birthday!

May 14, 2011

Callings

Chris and I just got called to be in primary! We teach the 8-11 year olds. I cant decide how I feel about it! I love kids and I love teaching but I felt like I was finally were I belonged. Going to classes and learning with women, getting to know people and making new friends. I guess if this is where im suppose to be though. I will do my best!

May 22, 2011

Moving Again

We stayed at my parents house for 3 weeks. I loved seeing my family everyday but I am excited to be on our own again, and decorate our place. We had a lot of people come and help us move. It went by very fast, like they say lots of hands make easy work. We live in the same complex with Chris's school buddy and his wife. They are so much fun, I feel like were going to have a lot of double dates with them.

Grandpa Williamson

We found out that Grandpa Williamson has bone cancer. There was a diner at Bobby and Stephanies house so in between my grandparent's mission stuff we stopped by to see the family. The men with the priesthood gave him a blessing. We will keep him in our prayers. It was very nice to see everyone together, it has been awhile.

Grandma and Grandpa's Mission

Grandma and Grandpa Yates are going on a mission to a misson in Florida. They gave their farewell talks on March 27. They both had fabulous talks, I loved them both. On April 9th we had a good bye party for them. There was a lot of people there, so many family and friends love and support them. The Barker family even came out from Nevada and my grandparents families from Idaho. Since general conference was on the 3rd we had fast and testimony meeting on the 10th. This meeting had to be the best one I have heard in a long time. It was amazing! First my cousin Sarah got up and bore her testimony and I went up right behind her. It was cool because I knew I wanted to get up I just didn't know how to get myself up and as soon as I thought that Sarah stood up. I knew that was going to be my best shoot. Next my other cousin Josh got up, and wow, what a testimony. After that my wonderful husband Chris got up. He seem's so calm up there, I don't know how he does it. Then last was my mom, I was surprised because she doesn't like to do that very much but how great of her to get up anyway. I love my family! They all have powerful and sweet testimonies! Later that night my grandparent's were getting set apart as Elder and Sister missionaries. Its going to be so hard to say good bye! Our last night with the whole family together we all played just dance in the living room. It was crazy, you could feel the floor shacking.

Awhile Rachel was in town I curled Sarah and Rachels hair. Then Rachel and I watched Tangled until 1 in the morning. The next day I took her to lunch at Wendys. It's nice to just talk to eachother expecially since we don't get to see eachother all that much. After that it was pretty chill, we liked to play "just dance" and talk.

Emma's Soccer Game

Chris, Stockton, and I met Chris's Parent's at Westlake Middle School to watch Emmas soccer game. Emma did an amazing job! She had to goal's and one super great assist. Her team won the game 3-1. Great job Money! Cha-Ching!!!

Zupas

First I will just say that Chris loves Fishbowl so far. It is a good company to work for. Chris is even thinking about changing his major to business. We found out that Provo College doesn't transfer to other school's so if he wanted to move up from PTA to Physical Therapist he would have to start all the way over. My job on the other hand is one of those jobs where you are constently looking at the clock to see when you get to go home. Or when you wake up in the morning and the first thing you think is "man I can't wait for the day to be over". I had to study all the salads and take a test. Then I would work on that area for 2 days and come back to take the sandwich test. I talked to my parent's about it and I talked to Chris about it. After all the talking I decided to quit and continue looking for a new job. It is nice to be done with that place but now I am feeling lazy and worthless. I hope that I can find a new job soon. Chris found out about this lady who's husband works at Fishbowl who does photography. I am going to start shadowing her and she said she could hire me when they start getting busy.

Moving

Today was the day that we are moving to Orem. Chris and I already had everything packed and ready to go. We invited people to come and help us move starting at ten. It went by pretty quickly because of all the help we had. There was Chris's dad, my mom, my brothers, and my cousin Josh. We also had our friend's Shalece, Brett, and cole, as well as our neighbor's Chris and Kerena. We headed out to our new place, but it all went wrong when we got there. First of all the lady said she moved out weeks ago but she still had a lot of stuff like a mattress, rocking chair, baby toys, ext. Second of all the owner's said that they were going to fix the holes in the door as well as paint the wall's and change the carpet. Chris called them to figure things out and they sounded just as cofused as us. Chris told them that we would just look for a new place to live because we didn't want to work with bad managment. So we meet at Chris's parents to store a few things in the garage and were now living at my parents house. It's nice to see my family everyday and not have to pay rent, but all our stuff is stuck in Rons trailer. So we just have whatever was stored in our car's. March 26, 2011

Good-Bye

Today was my last day of work. :( It was one of the hardest things that I have had to do. For lunch Heather got everyone pizza for me. It was very nice of her. The rest of the day went very normal until snack time. I had gotten donut holes for all the kids to snack on. I tried to explain to the kids that I was leaving. Erin and Spencer went into the office and brought back a present for me. It was an apron that has all the kids hand prints on it. Right after that we took the kids on the bus. As I walked back to the class room I couldn't help but cry. I love this place and I love the kids. I am going to miss them so much. No job will ever compare. It was also nice to hear what Jaimee thought about me. She told me that she was used to saying good bye to staff but she was really going to miss me because I was more than the average teacher. She said I was really good with the kids and she loved how I would lose myself in working and playing with them. I hope to visit the class alot and I would love to go out with my old employees.
March 10, 2011

Today is Chris's last day of work since he is in elementry. Angila said that it would be ok for me to come in and work with his class. It was fun to spend time with the kids that Chris worked with. I got to know his kids by riding the bus, and when they do role in my class. Hanging out with his kids was a blast. I went around with Chris and some of the kids to do role, \and then I went with Karen to do a group. The best was they got out this thing they call the big bounce. It was so much fun to chase the kids and just enjoy feeling like a kid. Then we had lunch so we could head home.
March 11,2011

Free Style

Chris and I went and saw my brothers at their wrestling tournament. It was 2 days long and they had several different styles. They both did a really good job. Hayden took 1rst in Greko and and 2nd in freestyle. Stockton got 3rd in Greko and 4th in freestyle. Even though it doesnt look like Stock did all that well were proud of him. He was wrestling kids that were 1 to 2 years older than him and kids that had made state. Both Hayden and Stockton came out a little banged up. Hayden had bitten his tough almost all the way threw, got a mat burn right below his eye, two other cuts on his face, and had to go to insta care to get his cartalige ear removed. Stockton hyper extended his elbow. Awesome job boys!
March 12-13, 2011

Starting New

It seem's like so much is changing so fast. Chris is going to go to school at Provo College because they have a Physical Therapy program. He doesn't start untill August but we wanted to get an early start to make our transition easier. Chris has gotten a new job working at Fish Bowl Inventory. He is working with one of his high school buddies, Chade Miller. I got a job at a resturant called Zupas. We are starting to pack our stuff because we also found a new apartment. It is a two bedroom apartment and is only $550 a month not including electricity and gas. The apartment is between both or our jobs, so that will be nice. I'm so excited to move but I am also a little nervous. I love the place and job that were in now. The only flaw with our place now is the smell of smoke is starting to get worse. I am really going to miss this job too. I love the kid's. It is going to be so hard to say goodbye to them on thursday. I am hoping to come out and visit them everyonce in awhile.

Valentines Day 2011

This year we didn't really do anything big. Since we work at a school for kid's we both had a party in our classes. Chris and I got Toy Story Valentine's Day cards for all of the kid's and fellow teacher's, along with dumb dumb sucker's. We had Valentine's party in our classes. The kid's were so cute and so excited. After work we went to the mall and got Hollister T-shirt's for eachother. We also got the movie Despicable Me because we love it so much, It's one of the only movies that Chris can watch more than once without falling asleep during it. It is such a cute show, and we figured it would be a good one to have and watch together. After that we went to Firehouse Subs to eat. That place is pretty good and it wasn't busy at all.

Wrestling Tournament

Hayden made sectional's in wrestling this year. So we went to watch him wrestle to see if he could make state. This tournament went on for two day's. Chris and I worked at the consetion state's with my mom so that we could get in free. My mom and stockton would come and get us if he wrestled awhile we were in there so we could run watch him. My dad filmed and I took pictures. Hayden did an amazing job both day's. Hayden got eighth set in state, then he got challenged by the guy that was in the ninth set. Just in case you don't know eighth set is the last place that get's to go to state. It was so scary, we wanted Hayden to go so bad. He went to state last year as a freshman too. We cheered our heart's out and Hayden wrestled very well. He pinned the kid and went to state. Hayden did well at all of his matches. I am so proud of him. One thing that I just admire about him is that even when he lost he would have great sportsmanship. He would shake the oponents hand or even give them a manly hug, say thanx to the coach and go talk to his coach. He would get tip's from him and then watch the video my dad took and see what he could fix. He is such an amazing kid, good job Hayden.

Grizzlies Game

First we went to Chili's with Chirs's boss Jason and his wife Margaret. The food was pretty good, we havn't been to Chili's for awhile. It was really nice to hang out with Jason and Margaret without being in the work setting. Jason was alot more realaxed. After we were done eating and talking we headed over to the Mavrick center for the Grizzlies Hocky game. We were so excited, we havn't seen one before and we were meeting one of Chris's student's Hunter and his dad. Hunter was so excited to see us. He had no idea that we were going to be coming too. We didn't know any of the rules so we had to learn as we went. It was so entertaining, I think that it is my favorite sport to watch. I think that it also helped that our team won.

New Car

So Chris and I just got a new car. We don't know if we should be excited or upset. The car is a great car, don't get me wrong, but we wish that we would have waited and spent more time to think about it. I'm really nervous for the monthly payment because we have been paying 120 a month and now we will be paying 303. I am excited that we will be able to give my mom the money because she payed for the car. Yet at the same time we just got a school lone and could have payed her off anyway and had no car payment for as long as that car would have lasted. I have named all of my cars. My very first car was Yoda. He was a maroon purple color, and a Toyota Camery. I loved that car but I didn't really think about needing to change the oil so it smoked. My second car was a greenish blue color, his name was braceface because we got in a wreck and now the front has a big black rim. I named our new car the first night we got it. It's name is goldie locks, because it is a very strong gold color so I just figured that it fits.

New Years Eve 2011

We had spent the night at my parents house for the last 5 days! On new years eve we went with them to the movies with my family. Half of the family went to see Tangled and the other half went to see Harry Potter. Chris and I decided to go and see Harry Potter. It was really good, even the second time. We couldnt decide what to do for that night, we had a few choices, and we had a hard time agreeing on what we wanted to do. Since we couldnt agree on what to do we headed home. Then Chris being the amazing man that he is surprised me by taking me out. We went to JCW's to eat. Then he took me to his friends singles ward dance, I have been wanting to go to a dance since we got married. At the dance we hung out with his friends cole and craig. It was a blast. I love fast dancing with Chris and slow dancing with him. It kinda reminded me of the day that we meet only this time I got to be by him the whole time instead of watching from a distance. I love Christ!
