lately

So I know it has been a really long time since I was on here last.
I don't even know where to start. So I will just touch a little on the big stuff. Kaydin got the priesthood in Aug. and is now the Decon President. I am always at the school helping in LOTS of areas. Kelly is still loving his job which is wonderful. Ayla and Torey are always active and love school. Kaydin has been on the baseball team and is right now doing football. He is also in band and choir at school. He plays the trumpet. I am in charge of Activity Days in the ward and I love it. When I get to a computer that works I will add some pics.

our visit to utah and idaho 09

We had a great time visiting family and going digging with my family. We had Ashley's, Haven's, and Rhett's big trucks and loaded everyone into them. Then we went up Logan canyon. It was really fun. It was really nice to get to stay with Rhett and Marissa. They are amazing. The girls want to live with them always. So I guess Aunt Marissa found little girls that adore her. I will put some pics up.

Then we were on our way up to Idaho for Kelly's family reunion at Indian Creek. Grandma Great is 94 and it was her and Grandpa Great's wish that everyone get together every year. So we went for the first time in 7 years. Kelly did a great deal of fishing, Grandma Summers took the kids with her one day and the girls had a blast. We did 4 wheeling, fishing, and kaydin got to go shooting. We were eaten alive my mosquito's, excpesially Ayla. Poor girl. Anyway it was really good to see everyone. Kelly also traded Kim hats. that they were both happy. Man Kelly loves his new hat.

here is some of our new life!

so since we have been here, we are all very happy. we miss our friends from ohio, but are making new ones slowly. i hope to be starting a bunco group so that i can get to know some women here.

today is kaydin's birthday. i still can't believe that he is 11. boy is he growing up so fast.

we just got back from a 10 day trip to utah and idaho. we spent fri through mon with my family. and then mon through sat with kelly's family at indian creek camping. there were like 101 or more family there. it was good to see family. the kids did a lot of fishing, shooting(well kaydin did that) and riding four wheelers. they had a good time. kelly and i did some fishing as well, and kelly spent a good deal of time out on the creek by himself which he loved.

ok well here are some pics so far that i have. i will put more on later when i get them. love you all.

long time no blog

ok so i'm sorry i haven't kept up on my blog. facebook is fun and i have been putting a lot into that.
anyway so much has happened. first KELLY GOT A JOB! i know that is wonderful. we are moving to sunnyvale, california. i am scared to death. i am also excited. kelly flys out on friday. then on the 18th he will fly back and be here when the packers come. then we will finish up cleaning and saying all our goodbyes and on the 22nd we will all fly out. hopefully we will have a place to live but if not then we will work something out. he will be working for northrup grumman. i probably spelled that wrong but oh well.
kaydin is doing wonderful. he is such a sweet heart and kind hearted. i can't believe he is almost 11.
ayla has had a pretty eventful year so far. she turned 8 and with that my mom, grandma and grandpa summers, and my brother haven came out for the babtism. that was really neat. the last couple of weeks she has had to have 2 teeth pulled and she was such a trooper. she couldn't wait to go back so they could pull more. i know she is crazy. they are so good to everyone there. it is a really neat place. and she is doing wonderful in school.
torey is growing and loving learning to spell and write. she plays this website that has helped her soooo much. it is starfall.com anyway there you go. sorry it isn't more but time is short with kelly and i would like to spend time with him before he leaves in 2 days. love you all.

pics of the house

so this is going to be a few pics. have to show off the house we are in that we love. love you all

life is great with a great family

i know that last time i wrote i was in a bit of a sad mood. well things are looking much better these days.
i have the most wonderful husband that is hard working, sweet, adorable, and kind hearted.
i have 3 amazing and wonderful kids. they are smart, independent and very caring.
i have been blessed with healthy children that are strong and smart.
we have a warm home, with heat, electricity, water, and warm clothes
we have the savior, and his teachings to help us through our lives
we have a great ward that supports up and helps those that are in need of help
even though we don't have any job offers yet, we are still together and help each other
when we get down all we have to do is open our eyes to others that don't have these things
i am grateful for my life.
hope that your holidays are warm and full of love and family. we love all of you and enjoy your blogs. love to you all.

this is so hard so bare with me

so this week has been pretty much hell.
first i had a tumor cut out of my thigh and it won't heal. the stitches keep breaking and it keeps bleeding. i have broncitus and have so for 2 months, so today i had to get xrays of my chest and started my fourth set of antibiotics. i hope to hear from the doc. later today.
then kelly went to work on wed. and 5 min, to end of day was brought aside and told that next wed will be his last day of work as they are having major layoffs, so all of itw is i guess. wow what a shocker. they will give him his last check on jan. 9th. so i am gratful for that because they said there was no need to come back in on wed, because he can't start projects that he won't be able to finish. so he is in the mode of finding another job. i have no worries that he won't do everything in his power to get another one. he is so wonderful about taking care of us. he loves to work and won't stop. so i have a great deal of respect and love for him.
my heart breaks everytime the kids mention that they would really like this or this for christmas. it's not that they are wanting tons of things it's just that we don't have anything for anything. they understand but to what extent i am not sure.
a friend that i thought was a friend we had to call the police on. here is that story. we lend them money all the time. we let them have food, and pretty much teresa has had a say in everything from the kids, to the way my house should be. not that i really wanted her to but i am scared when it comes to setting boundries with friends. her husband helped us with a disposal in the kitchen and we thought that it was friends helping friends because we help them all the time. well no it wasn't like that at all. she called us the day before thanksgiving and wanted 50 dollars for helping. i told her we didn't have it and that was the truth. well she started to go off. so i handed the phone to kelly. as soon as he said that since her water had been shut off due to not wanting to pay for it, she has done showers, and we came home from a party to find her doing about 10 loads without asking first. she started fling the f bomb everywhere and screaming at him. well they had our dvr and kelly wanted to go get it. when he knocked and the husband let him in, she threw it at him and hit him in the chest and when he went to pick it up she started hitting and slapping him. then she said that he wasn't going to leave. oh my gosh crazy hu? anyway he pushed his way out and when he got home called the cops so that if she came up with some crazy idea she could get kelly into trouble. he didn't want to press charges because he is such a good guy and they were shocked. anyway they had their daughter call and ask for 30 and when i said that i didn't have it she was in the background egging it on. so there goes that friendship and then she told my friend that i should grow up and come to her house to "talk" like i'm going to go there. right does she think i am stupid? anyway that is enough for right now. love you all and hope your holidays are happy.
