IN MEMORY OF PAYDEN

Tomarrow (Monday 21st will be 2 years since the passing of payden has been a hard 2 years we miss him so I have a autobiography that payden wrote for a school project before he died. It is kinda long but I thought I would share it with others to give a insight of the person he was. these are really his words he wrote this himself . the preacher read this at his funeral it really shows how much he loved his life and the people in it.

   My name is Payden Cole Sommers. I was born on August Fourteenth, Nineteen-Ninety-Six. I am ten years old. I live in Chillicothe, Ohio. I go to Zane Trace Schools, and I am in the fifth grade. This is an autobiography about me and my life.
   My parent’s names are Tom and Susan Sommers. My dad works construction and drives a school bus for Zane Trace as a substitute. Dad gets me up every morning for school and makes my breakfast, and after the bus comes he goes to work. My mom is a Nurse at the Emergency Room at Adena Hospital She works all night shifts so she can be home and awake when I get off the bus after school.
   I have one brother named Tommy Sommers, he is twenty years old. I am now an Uncle. Tommy has twins named Destiny and Dashawn. They are fourteen months old. I have not seen them since April. He got married last December. Tommy is in the Navy. He and his wife Danielle live in San Diego, California. They are coming home after Christmas to visit us.
   I have two sisters, one is named Jamie DeWitt. She is nineteen years old. She lives in Athens, Ohio with her boyfriend Doug. She is in nursing school. She baby sits me sometimes when my mom and dad go on vacation. She and Doug come home almost every weekend to visit us. I am going to stay at her apartment for a few days on Christmas break.
   My other sister is Leah Sommers. Leah is seventeen years old. She lives with her mom near Bainbridge, Ohio. She goes to nursing classes at Paint Valley Schools. Leah comes to see us on weekends.
My parents told many funny stories about me when I was little. When I was just three days old my parents took me to my first Chillicothe Paints baseball game. They say that I was the youngest fan to visit the baseball park. My parents just strapped me in my car seat and then strapped me to the bleacher. I still go to the Paints game every summer. My Grandma Jude houses two Paints players every year. One of her players died in a car wreck this year.
   At the age of two years old, my dad was watching television and I hid from him. After a couple of minutes he knew that I was gone. He yelled and yelled for me. He even called my mom at work. I then walked out of the closet. He was only mad for a little while.
   My grandma Evelyn died when I was just four years old. We moved from our house in Frankfort to her house. We now live on Marietta Road. My dad lived in the same house when he was growing up. He went to Zane Trace School too. My old house was way too small. I have my own bedroom now.
   My favorite things to do at home are to watch television. My favorite shows to watch are: Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Full house, Ned Declassified School Survival Guide, Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and Kappa Micky. I have two televisions. One is in my bedroom and the other is in our back family room. My mom bought me a DVR for my birthday so I could tape any television show I wanted.
   Other things I like to play are video games. These are all the ones that I have: Nintendo DS, Playstation Two, X-Box, Game cube, Gameboy color, Nintento Sixty-four, Gameboy Advance, and Gameboy Advance SP. These are the games that I play: All the Pokemon games, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, Golf, and Yugioh the False Bound Kingdom. My mom and dad think I play too much.
   I also have a computer. I like to get online to find the cheat codes for my electronic games. I sometimes get on Ebay to search prices. I have my own email address but I do not get a lot of emails.
   I like to play out side also. My dog Snickers likes me to chase him. I have a large trampoline in my backyard that I like to jump on. I have lots of sleds to go down our back hill on, if it snows. We also have snowmobiles that I ride on if the snow is deep enough. We live at the bottom of Sugar Loaf Mountain. My dad and I sometimes walk to the top.
   My family gets together a lot. My Aunt Dana has all the summer holiday cookouts at her house because she has a pond that we swim and fish in. My grandma Jude has all the winter holidays at her house. Every summer we have a canoe trip down the Little Miami River in Morrow, Ohio. This year we had over 60 family and friends there. On our canoe trip we swim, splash each other, sometimes tip over, and some people swings off of high trees into the river. It is lots of fun.
   Soccer is the sport that I like to play. I have played five years in a row. I played for a team in Chillicothe my first year. Now when I sign up, I play in Kingston for the Zane Trace Youth League. I played all the positions on the field. Our team never won very much, but, I still like to play. My dog Snickers has my old soccer ball that he likes me to kick so he can go get it.
   It is Christmas time again. Last year I got so much stuff. I got Pokemon Fire Red, Magnetics, Bulls eye ball, and much more. We always go to Grandma Jude's on Christmas Eve. Everyone last year just held and passed Destiny and Dashawn around. My dad put our tree up last week. My mom only has it half-way decorated. We can not find the Angel in our basement to put on the top of the tree. This weekend I am going to my Aunt Dana’s house for our annual Christmas Cookie Bake.
When I grow up I want to be an electronic game designer. I not sure how much schooling I will need to do this. I think that I would be a good designer because I play so much now. Hopefully I can make lots of money.
Well, as you can see, I am very busy. I have a big family that is very close to me. I have lots of stuff to do at my house. So far my whole life has been full of fun. I can not wait till I get older to see how my life turns out. I hope you enjoyed reading about my life.
