Dear
Wonderful Family,
I am still in the month of March for
writing this letter, and so I figure I am doing ok. We have had another busy year, and as I think
back I again wonder where the time went?!
Here is a highlight of what happened this last year in the Williams’
household!
Sawyer and Sophia turned two January
12th. I can’t believe how quickly two
years has gone by! They are so fun,
loving, caring, energetic, smart, and of course WILD (as most two year olds
normally are!!) When they turned two,
they were super into watching Elmo on Sesame Street, but these days they are
back into watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Being the teacher that I am, we of course do lots of playing, singing,
art projects, and reading books too! As
soon as the weather gets nicer out, we will be playing a lot outside also. The kids LOVE to ride on the tractor, semi,
combine, old pickup, pay loader, skid-loader, excavator, pretty much anything
that moves outside is what I should just say that they like to ride on! Typical farm kids I guess, but we are
thankful for that! Sawyer is very
protective of his sister, and he loves her very much! Sophia also loves Sawyer very much, but she
loves to pick on him too! He will make
her tough as they both already like to wrestle around and beat up on each
other. Or should I say she will make him
tough?! Crazy how fast they can be
playing so nice and showing such sweet sibling love and then bang, they are off
fighting the next minute. They are
usually fighting over feeding the dogs.
They feed them literally about ten times a day, and it is not because
our two tiny indoor dogs eat that much food!
I am very thankful that I get to stay at home with the twins though and
watch these loving and challenging moments!
The time goes by so fast, and it has been amazing to get to watch them
grow up!
This summer Grandma Sharon and
Grandpa Bob traveled to South Dakota, and we all stayed out in the beautiful
Black Hills of South Dakota! We had a
blast getting to catch up, go swimming, go riding horse, go sightseeing, and
just enjoying the great outdoors. Wish
we didn’t live so far away from Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Bob and Pam and
Ray! We cherish every time we do get to
spend with them! The twins loved riding
horse with Grandma Kim and Grandpa Bryan, and they wanted to help each time the
chores needed to be done including carrying water in the water buckets! You can just imagine what that looked like….a
two year old trying to carry a big horse bucket of water!! When it was time for one to get off from
riding, they would grab ahold of the saddle horn real tight and turn their head
the other way as if to say, “Just try to get me off of here!!”
This last December my mom took me to
the NFR in Vegas for a long weekend! We
had the best time! We went shopping at
the Cowboy Christmas in the convention center, and we shopped till we dropped
let me tell you! We got to enjoy two
nights at the rodeo, and that was such an amazing experience! So cool to be able to watch the best cowboys
and cowgirls in the world perform in front of your very eyes! It was a dream come true for both of us, and
I cherished that we got to do it this first time together just the two of
us! Our flight home was a little crazy
with almost a full 24 hours of flying or waiting in the airport and 4 flights
to get home, but we got to share our love for Jesus with a young boy who was
living a hard life. It made the long
trip home worthwhile.
Chris is still working at Trail King
designing the big specialized trailers.
He hopes in the next couple of years to get a promotion and be the Chief
Engineer after his boss retires! He
still loves being outside the most working on one of his many projects. He was able to purchase a broken excavator
off an on-line auction. He will hope to
do some business with that this summer along with his new spray foaming
business and of course his hobby farming.
As busy as he is, he is an amazing dad and husband, and he makes time to
spend with his family first!
I just started selling for a company
called Celebrating Home. It is one of
those home party businesses, so I am able to work when the kids are taking
their naps and then go put on home parties for people about once a week. I just started in February, and I love
it! It is a way for me to get out of the
house every once in a while and also feel like I am contributing to the bills
each month. If any of you are
interested, I will throw out my online website.
Feel free to check out our products!!
It is mandywilliams.mycelebratinghome.com
Well, we hope this letter finds each
of you in good health, and we wish you much happiness this coming year. We hope to get out to the family reunion one
of these years. We miss you all, and we
will love for you to meet Sawyer and Sophia!
If anyone is ever in South Dakota, make sure to give us a call!
Love,
Chris,
Mandy, Sawyer, and Sophia Williams
