OCTOBER 2007

Where has this month gone. I started the month with surgery and had my gall bladder finally taken out. I have been having attacks since Mallory was born which is a year ago now. I had another attack in August and said this is not going to go away. So I had already met my deductible and the best surgeon here in Twin agreed and I got it out. About 2 days later I flew to Arizona for my 10yr class reunion. It was fun to see old friends and visit. I also enjoyed watching Camille play volleyball and of course visit with family!
I hosted Sydneys playgroup/preschool and we made elephant puppets and decorated Halloween cookies. Then we all went to the pumpkin patch to climb hay bails, go on a hayride, go thru a tiny corn maze and of course pick a little pumpkin. I also had a scrapbook party with some gals from work and am inspired to get some more pages done.
We celebrated Halloween Saturday and went to the Declo carnival with games, a spook alley and Chili baked potatoes. We were angels and devils. Sydney loved playing with her cousins. Now we just work hard and save for vacation in California over Thanksgiving to celebrate Grandpa Joneses 80th birthday!

She laughs alot anytime we laugh and gives good kisses. She sleeps in her own bed and takes good naps too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALLY WE LOVE YOU!

Summer 2007

CRAZY KELSEY'S

Life is so crazy! Time goes by so fast! So I want to be better at journaling for our family. Here is a update I wrote for my 10yr class reunion updating them on our life. I went to Eastern Arizona College and roomed with Brittany and Cindy for a while. I finished my Nursing degree quickly in 3 yrs. I met Zach while he was working construction in the Morenci Mine there. He stayed in Arizona and we married October 2000. When I graduated and passed my RN we moved to Boise Idaho. On a sad note my mother passed away that summer. This was hard but she had been sick for a long time. We were glad she was not hurting anymore. In Boise I worked on a Telemetry (Cardiac) unit for 4 yrs while Zach finished two Bachelor degrees in CIS and Marketing. We enjoyed Boise rollerblading along the Boise River, river rafting, going to concerts, trips to Hawaii and many good friends. We also had our first daughter Sydney in Boise in 2004. She is so much fun and a real firecracker. After Zach graduated he decided to take a job in a Bank Manager training program. We moved to Twin Falls, Idaho and he trained and I work in a 12 bed ICU at the hospital. We soon bought our first house. It is big and we love the floor plan. It is a work in progress but we have almost all the wallpaper down and have learned to tile. We also had our second daughter Mallory in October 2006. She is very content and of course cute too! So, in a nutshell I finished school got married work as an RN, have 2 girls, bought a blue house and am happier than I ever imagined!
