little brother looked so handsome and grown up it is hard to believe he is actually old enough to be married the reception was really fun there was a delicious never ending dessert bar at the end of the reception there was music and dancing mckenna loved every minute of it and so did sydney actually we all loved it it was fun to just be with my family and have tons of fun together it was a

facebook share to pinterest saturday august 6 2011 summer is over school is here wow i can t believe i have been so bad at blogging this summer and now summer is officially over for me on monday we start teacher meetings next week and school officially starts the next monday august 15th i can t believe it i am getting really excited though for this next school year i get to teach 2nd grade homeroom which at my school is pretty much the equivalent of a regular school teacher i get to teach reading and writing i think it should be fun lately my nerves have kind of gotten the best of me and i ve had a few moments but overall i am really excited this week i went in and pretty much got my classroom in order chris chris mom and my sister geneava all helped me get it ready thanks again for all your help guys my classroom theme is reach for the stars i think everything turned out really cute and i hope that the students like it when they see it for the first time p s my classroom is a lot cuter in person but here is a gist of what it looks like so other than school starting things are going really well for us we had a great summer we got to spend a lot of time together which was really nice chris took one summer school class calculus and i m so proud of him he got an a in it he did so awesome he is such a great student he makes this teacher wife very proud chris starts school again on august 22 he will have his associates degree this next semester and has already started classes for his major he is going into network engineering i m excited for him and his is really motivated in school right now mckenna is going to be starting preschool this fall we found a preschool in chris parents neighborhood that she is going to go to it is the perfect location and she only goes twice a week so not too overwhelming all at first i am super excited for her she is so bright and i know that she needs this to push her and also help her with her social skills hmmm maybe it will make her go to bed easier too that would be nice haha sydney is just a cute little fireball we love her to death she is trying to say lots of words she is just learning so much each day and turning into such a sweet little girl her and mckenna are such great friends and even greater sisters it is such a joy to watch them play and laugh together now onto the next chapter in our lives my 2nd year of teaching chris college continuted and mckenna starting preschool we will be very busy at this little house life is good posted by becca summerhays at 10 12 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 29 2011 my family get together my family has started a new tradition every year around the day my dad passed away june 18 we get together to celebrate his life and to reunite with everyone it s hard to believe that it has been 3 years since he passed away i miss him so much so getting together with my mom and brothers and sisters was really important this year we decided to get together up north it was also father s day weekend so it was even more fitting to celebrate dad s life on saturday june 18 we started the day by going to the provo temple to do a session it was so neat it was the first time i ve ever been to the provo temple what a beautiful temple one of the best parts about it was that we were able to take some of my dad s ancestor names through it was such a spiritual experience i was so glad chris and i were able to attend there isn t really anywhere i d rather be with my family than in the temple it was so awesome to be able to go to the temple with my side of the family for a change it doesn t happen very much so i was so grateful that it worked out it was hard not to think of my dad while we were in the temple i think we all felt the same way there isn t a day that goes by that i don t think of him so many things remind me of him and so to be in the temple to reflect about him and our savior was so spiritually uplifting for me it was a great start to the day later that afternoon we went up to the hogal zoo in salt lake the kids had so much fun as did their parents mckenna and sydney loved every minute of it it was a fun afternoon spent with all the kids and my family that evening we all went out to dinner and when i say all i mean all there were 22 of us altogether 3 babies in carseats 2 kiddos in high chairs 2 or 3 in boosters i can t even remember exactly how we all sat and all fit but we did we went to texas roadhouse one of my dad s favorite places it was total chaos but a lot of fun i enjoyed spending time with my family we always have a lot of fun when we are together i love them all so much and i m so glad and grateful we all got to spend that time together my dad left a great legacy and all 22 of us are doing our part to keep it going posted by becca summerhays at 6 39 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest mckenna and her tonsils mckenna has had trouble sleeping for a long time she has always had trouble sleeping the whole night through she usually wakes up at least once or twice we ve always noticed she kind of snored but never thought there was a real explanation since she is our first i kind of always thought maybe it was normal for kids to snore well mckenna is fortunate enough to have some pretty fabulous grandparents her grandma debbie in particular she worked at an ear nose and throat doctor for a long time she watched the girls while chris was going to school and i worked she noticed one day that mckenna s tonsils were abnormally huge after looking for ourselves chris and i were shocked at how big they actually were they were practically touching hmmm could that possibly be why she can t sleep well and she snores the poor girl could hardly breathe right well we took her into a specialist and he said that was probably the reason we decided to schedule her for surgery to get them taken out on tuesday june 21 mckenna went in for her appointment chris his dad and brother stephen gave mckenna a blessing the night before she was really really really nervous i didn t want to scare her for a long time so i didn t talk about it until it was close to her surgery i m glad i did because she was so anxious and worried about getting them out which she had all right to be i m pretty sure i would have been freaking out too after she got the blessing she felt so much better it was such a sweet blessing i was so grateful for chris and his family members and that they were worthy to give her a priesthood blessing i know it helped her and her mommy so much on tuesday morning she was honestly so brave grandma debbie chris mckenna and i all headed into the hospital after playing the waiting game for a good while she finally went back to get started we said our goodbyes tried to hold back the tears it was kind of hard to say goodbye and waited anxiously in the waiting room the surgery lasted about 30 45 minutes the doctor dr gardner came out and talked to us about how she did he said she did really well and that her tonsils were actually quite bigger than he expected so it was a good thing we decided to get them taken out about 45 minutes later we were able to go back in and see mckenna she was all wrapped up in her favorite blankey and was squeezing her baby doll for which she named taylee the morning of the surgery so tight she was a little out of it still i went up to her and stroked her forehead and said mckenna it s mommy she opened her eyes and looked at me and just started to cry i was so proud of her and that moment i don t think i will ever forget she was so innocent and you could just tell she wanted her mommy i felt so bad for her too i hate going to the doctor let alone getting surgery all by yourself being only 3 it was a sweet moment for me chris and i brought her a stuffed giraffe she said that was her favorite animal we saw at the zoo the previous weekend with 5 huge princess balloons attached and we gave her a present for being so brave it was a tangled barbie doll that she had been really wanting those little gifts cheered her up quite a bit that and having her grandma right there too she has been recovering really well other than not wanting to sleep in her own bed and being a little ornery she has been doing great as long as she has her tylenol too we haven t noticed a big change in her sleeping yet and since she has still been swollen the snoring hasn t exactly stopped yet either but chris and i are hopeful that as the weeks go on she will get better and we will see an improvement in her sleeping we hope so anyways we are really grateful that everything went smoothly and that it is over for the most part it was quite the ordeal to go through with a 3 year old a very cute 3 year old we love you mckenna posted by becca summerhays at 6 15 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to
