Last Day

Today was the last day of school. I dont feel like it has hit me yet. Im going to miss the kids so much. I didnt think this day would come. We have done so many things through out the year. Some feild trips that we have had were Cabelous, the pumpkin patch, the mall, theatre to see the Lorax, and fishing. Some fun things we have done in class is PJ day, Dr. Suess birthday, and celebrating holidays. I had 13 kids in the class, I will miss each and everyone of them because I loved them all. This past week has been a blast but hard at the same time because I knew it was going to go by fast. I have also enjoyed working with my new friends. Im hoping that we do get together sometime over the summer. Lucky for me I still get to see them because of summer school and 3 of my kids will be there. Yesterday was the swim day and I was so excited because Chris got to come with me. He got to meet my kids I love to see Chris with the kids, I miss it from the time we worked together and Pingree. I know he will be a great dad one day because he is so good with the special kids that he just met. What a great and exciting year it has been. Dian gave me a card and wrote something that I think is so true. I dont think there are many jobs as stressful and rewarding at the same time as ours.

Mothers Day

We spent the night again because Ranae is calling at 2 and that about when our ward ends. We woke up and made a big breakfast for my mom. Chris made the french toast, I made the bacon, and my dad did the hash browns and the eggs. It was delicious. I love going to my parents ward. I feel like I always learn and feel the spirit so much. We got to hear my uncle speak in sacrament, my dad is the marriage/parenting teacher, and in relief society my mom and aunt Krista are teaching. Its pretty cool to hear from all of them. After church was over we hid my moms presents. She got a shirt, beads, scencies, ear rings, lotion, new headphones, and eye liner. I also drew her a picture of a girl minion because she had all the kids as minions. Ranae ended up calling about an hour late, it drove us crazy. When she did call we got on skype with her. It was so cool to see her. We all took turns sitting on the big chair and talking to her. She looks like she is doing really good and that she is happy. She has a few days more than three weeks until she comes home. I am so excited. After we got off we went done to Teris and had diner. I got to met Joshs "girlfriend". He leaves on his mission in a week and a half so he wanted her to come to the families. It was fun to be with everyone and to catch up. I love my family.

Happy Mothers Day!

Weekends

Chris is went camping with Chade Miller and Bret German. They are going West of Saratoga Springs to shoot some rabbits. I have never slept without him so Im went to spend the night at my parents. My mom was going out so I offered to babysit for my aunt Teri and uncle Chris. It was pretty fun and I got a few laughs. When we were on the tramp Riley was sitting on my lap. She looked up at the Mt. and said "look theres Lisas house" I said "yup theres my moms house" confused Riley replied "your mom lives with Lisa". I tried to explain the consept of cousins but it just confussed then when Riley said "I have a cousin, her name is Lindsay." "Lindsay is my cousin too" "ZAK.....Lindsay is her cousin too." I love kids. Then when put them to bed Zak found two spiders. He caught them and put them in big bins. As he looked at them he said "ones a boy and ones a girl, so when I wake up I hope there are more spiders in there." Yuck When I got home both the boys were till awake so I went into their room to talk. Stockton fell asleep pretty fast but Hayden and I were up until 2:30am. Funny story, when Hayden and I were in the middle of talking Stockton started rolling his arms, then he sat up and said "ya I got it" then laid back down. We couldnt stop laughing, the radio was on so I kinda think he was dancing in his sleep.

The next morning Chris was back, we had a shooting activity that Chris (in the elders qourm presidency) planned for the ward. We had a decent turn out of 16 people. Hayden came with us too. It was super fun, we ate hotdogs and shot some guns. I love our ward, alot of people that we hang out normally were there. I shoot some of the guns but I became the pull girl. I flicked the disc for people to shoot at. My arm even hurt latter. When we got home we showered and Chris headed out to go to the gym. Mean while my family headed over to my the Rentfros house. Brent and the family are moving to Florida because he got a job there. It was nice to say good bye to them but like always we got out at our first exit. Once we got out I took the boys out to get mothers day gifts. It took us a few hours but we really want mom to know how much we love her. I hope that she likes what we all got.

May 11-12, 2012

Today we are going to Chriss parens house to celebrate mothers day so that next sunday I will be able to be with my mom. Grandma Williamson came over to, it was so nice to see her. After we ate the wonderful diner that they made Chris and I gave grandma a picture of her and grandpa. At the bottom of the picture is a plack that says "Together Forever, Never Apart. Maybe in Distance, but Never in Heart." I hope that she really liked and also understands how appreciated she is.  I feel bad but Chriss mom said she just wants money to go buy flowers. I usually like to get a meaningful gift but thats what she wanted so Im not going to arrgue. Aubri was super cute. Tara put her in her jumper and she was just bouncing and twirling around. For some reason Chris can make her get the biggest smiles. It is so cute. Im excited Chris will be a great dad one day. I hope that I can be a good mom too.

Halloween 2011

I love working at an elementary school because it means I have a good excuse to still dress up for halloween. The kids just love it. This year I was a pirate. I also like this holiday because we basically just have a party all day at school. First we did the costume parade so we can see everyone in the schools costumes. Then we watched a Scooby-Doo and made rootbeer with smoky ice. We also did groups of different activities. When the kids finished at one table everyone would rotate. The kids loved it and so did I. Happy Halloween!

Prom

Hayden went to prom this year. His date wore a yellow dress, Hayden had on a very handsome tie. Hayden got his pictures done at school but the next day he still had his tux so I took him out side and took some pictures. The weather wasnt so nice and we went right out as soon as it stopped raining but it was hard not to get good pictures when youre taking them of someone who looks very handsome.

Jennis Bridal Shower

Jenni is getting married to Cordel Badger in June. Today is her bridal shower. We are so happy for the two of them. It was pretty fun. After everyone arrived they played a game. Tara had asked Cordel questions about Jenni and himself. Then she would ask Jenni the same questions. If she got them right she was safe, however if she got them wrong she had to stick a marshmellow in her mouth. When the game was over she opened presents. I got her some candles, lingerie, and handcuffs. Kinda funny, I was warned that grandmas would be there but it didnt bother me so I got the gift anyway. Little did I know that 8 year old Elisa was coming. I had to nudge to Jenni just to peak into the bag. When Elisa saw the handcuffs she said "why would they need handcuffs" Lucky for me Taras stepped in and said "Cordel wants to be a police officer so its a present for him too" A lot more clever than the answer I was going to give. I had a good time, it was fun to see Jenni! Good luck to them both.

Spring Break

The best part about working at an school is that I get all of the nice breaks. I get a week of for spring break and I am super excited. I am going to be catching up on my homework and cleaning the house. Over the break I also hung out with Alyssa Witham. I went to her place and we went swimming, well we mostly layed in the hottube because the water was pretty cold. It was nice to talk to her and catch up. Another day I hung out with my mom. We ran arrends along with the boys. I dont care what we do I just love being with my family.

Albert James Williamson

Chris got a call around 7 am that grandpa had been taken to the hospitle in an ambulance and that he wasnt doing very well. Chris asked if we could go see him after work, I told him that of course that would be fine. He had only been to work for about 20 minutes when he called me and said he just found out the grandpa had passed away. I immediatly picked him up from work and we headed to the hospitle. When we got there Bobbys family and Chris's mom along with Josh were the only ones there so far. After time everyone arrived. Even though I know I didnt know him to well it was heartbreaking to see everyone cry. I have truley married into an amazing family. Even through all this hearache they were still laughing and talking about the good times. I am so greatful for the gospel because it takes a lot of that sadness of your shoulders. Just know that we will see him again one day makes going on that much easier. He is loved and he will be missed.

New Year 2012

For this new years we hung out with some of our married friends. We had the Purvs, and Millers over. We went out and got yogurt, when we got back we played catch phrase, boys agenst girls. It was a lot of fun. After that we decided to watch The Rise of the Planet of the apes because the Purvs hadnt seen it before. The Millers took of during the movie. The movie ended at the perfect time because once it was over there was about 5 minutes to midnight. Now that were older we were all pretty tired so he only talked for about a half hour more and went on our way. I love haning out with them all what a fun time.

Color Festival

Today is the color festival, Chris didnt really want to go but after talking about it he finally agreed. Before we left we saw Chade and Kerri and asked if they wanted to go. Chade didnt want to go either but Kerri also convinced him to come along. So the four of us went. It was crazy how many people were there. Chris thought we wouldnt be able to find a parking spot so we ended up walking 2 miles to get there. Once we got there it was fun, so Kerri and I thought. We ran into a few people that we knew so that was pretty cool. We looked inside the temple and walked on the walls. We didnt buy any chalk but at the same time we didnt really need any because people had enough to through at us. After we journied back to the car we went home and showered to go back and and get something to eat! We ate at Costa Vida and came home to watch a movie! I had a really good time. Even though Chris didnt want to come Im glad that he is nice enough to do things for me. I have a great husband!
