From England to Ohio

From England to Ohio

Saturday 5 June 2010

Finally a post from our new home in Ohio!

Okay friends and family, I know you have been waiting almost a year for this much needed update of our family and it's adventures. Over the past....11 months, I would sit down at my laptop to work on updating. Of course I would get interrupted by children and life. They longer it took for me to update the easier it was to NOT do it. So instead of going back to August of 2009 and telling you everything I am going to give you the basics and then start from today.
Last August 2009, the kids and I traveled from our home in England to our temporary home with my family in Henderson, Nevada. We stayed there from August 2009 until January 2010. Greg left England the same day as the kids and me but he went to training in Georgia. He was there from August 2009 until mid December 2009. He then joined us for the holidays. In January we arrived in Dayton, Ohio. Our new assignment at Wright-Patterson AFB. We have enjoyed getting settled in our fantastic home. We have loved exploring our new town. The kids all just finished the 2009-2010 school year. We are looking forward to a lazy fun summer. Dennis and Caitlin will be here for five weeks this summer. We are planning camping trips, and trips discovering more of Ohio, Indiana, and other surrounding areas. If you are near Ohio, please give us a call. We have plenty of room and would love to see any and all of our friends and family. Thanks for your understanding of my lack of communication.....enjoy the photos....hugs and love from us to you and yours.......

















Okay so here is our home sweet home when we arrived in Ohio! Caked in white!


















And here she is now in her green glory!














Here is my cute little back patio, grass area, and yes a bit of ground cover I haven't killed yet















Here is the view of my front yard from our front patio. Yes that is a play ground 30 feet from my front door. I love my house













Here is our cute little shed in the back yard and our 2 yes that's right I said 2 car garage....with my beautiful blue van in front of it.
Here is my beautiful, straight A, 9 year old, girl lovin', sport lovin' , long haired Kaleb. Greg tells Kaleb that he is gong to come into his room in the night and chop his hair short......I think he is
so handsome....so do all the 9, 10, ans 11 year old girls in the neighborhood. He has always been a ladies man.


And here is my princess, Sophia. She is a kindergarten graduate and proud of it. I can't believe that she is going to be 6 next month. She is always dancing and singing.....singing at the top of her lungs. She still loves to be dressed up but at the same time wants to be involved in everything the boys and her dad are doing. She is full of drama and attitude.....I have no idea where that comes from. I can't wait to see what the future brings for her.....have I created a monster?
So that is a little glimpse in our current life. I have some photos of the inside of the house I will post in a day or two. I will also post some cute photos of my other two beings....intelligent Isaac, my 11 year old....how'd that happen.....and Little Liam, who's not so little and who's favorite saying right now is "Mommy, I said I am so sorry!" We hope you are all well. I will try to be better at keeping you all up to date with the Shultz Family!

Family Photos in Bury!






















































































We had our photos taken yesterday in Bury St. Edmund's. It is one of our most favorite towns here in England. There is this great lady in our ward that does fantastic work and we just love the photos she did. The kids did well other then a small tantrum at the end from our little Liam. And the weather worked great just a little sprinkle and a bit of sunshine.

MIA




Okay so after many comments from friends and family and even my own children I am finally going to post. I wish I could be better like others and post more often....Lets make that a goal. So get ready this is going to be a long one....


Well Greg finally returned home on the 6Th of February. He flew right into Mildenhall base. We had big colorful signs and lots of balloons. The kids were so excited. He flew in at night and this night was extremely foggy. on the way home from the base Greg told us that as they were approaching the pilot was worried they would have to turn back and go to Germany because he could not see the runway. After two approaches they finally landed. I am so grateful for that. Well Greg got home on a Thursday night and we enjoyed a long awaited weekend. The following Tuesday I was having some kidney pain. I went into the ER that night. For the next four weeks or so I was in and out of the hospital on base and in Cambridge for kidney stones. I am so grateful that this did not happen until Greg returned home because even though I have great friends here to help me it was wonderful for the kids to have their dad. Greg's work was wonderful to give him a good amount of time off.


On February 28Th Our family was sealed in the London Temple. My mom was able to travel from Las Vegas to be with us. We also had some very close Friends from Germany come over to celebrate with us. We were supported by many families in our ward. It was a day I will never forget and even now as I think of it tears come to my eyes.


Kaleb was baptized by his dad last month. It was so amazing to see my second son enter the waters of baptism with his dad. He was so proud. My kids are growing so fast before I know it I will be sending them off on missions.....please let the time until then go slow


Greg is back to work and kids are all back to school after a nice relaxing Spring Break. Our Easter was quiet and uneventful. I am still struggling with my health. The doctors are frustrated not being able to figure out why I am producing mass amounts of stones, but they are trying to keep me monitored and comfortable. I have such an amazing husband and kids that help me out so much.


We are supposed to be leaving England in July. We don not know where we are going yet. We are just waiting to find out if Greg has been accepted to a program with in the Air Force. We are looking forward to coming home to Las Vegas this summer to be with friends and family. Enjoy the following photos of our Easter Kids


Love to you all

Loving the Little Liam


















So our little Liam loves his cup....whatever is in it he loves to drink, just like his big brother. He makes the cutest faces when he is happily drinking. and of course the more we laugh at him the more he hams it up...just like his mamma
Is he just the most beautiful little man you have ever set eyes on. We just love him so much. He can't wait to get a hold of his daddy for some fun times
