Shadow a Student Day!

Picture taken on my cell phone in Jakes math class!
I spent a day as an 8th grader! Last week I was invited with all the other parents to spend a day in the life of an eighth grader. It was definatley an experience. The best part of it was I got to spend the day with my son Jake. I can't believe how smart kids are now a days. We played an American Government game and I had to rely on my son Jake for many of the answers. I think kids are smarter than we were. Jake you are amazing and fun to be with! If I were a boy in the eighth grade I would definately want to hang out with you! Jake thanks for letting me get to follow you around school to all of your classes and spend the day with you.

What a great day!! I would have LOVED that! Smart idea school!

I have been waiting to see your Rocky Point Pictures since I saw all you kids on facebook :)

The last 4 days I spent helping my mom de-clutter her life.. and CLUTTER mine! She wanted me to get all my boxes of everything out... the reason I tell you this is I found the sweetest things ever that you sent to me before and on my mission. All the kids Ford modeling pictures that you sent, sweet thoughtful cards and such. I told you this at the wedding.. but I just want you to know that I haven't forgotten all the charity and love your family has done for me. Love you all so much!
