Busy Busy

Whew how time flies by and how far I am behind on updating everyone. Im hoping to catch up soon. There has been a lot going on and much more to come. I had my 10 year reunion in craig At the begining of Aug and then today Jen, Khylind, Khorben, my mom, Rilee, Carson and I are all flying to Kansas for a much needed visit with my dads side of the family. We will also be blessed to have Brison's parents and Grandparents from Missouri join us in Kansas. I would have to say Im a little nervous about taking a trip, on a plane, with 2 kids, and no Brison. He wasnt able to get the time off with his new job, which he loves. Meanwhile Rilee turned 5 months yesterday. She is such a happy, easy going, laid back girl. She started sitting up a week after she turned 4 months, it is her preference to stand though. Im pretty sure she will be crawling or walking before she rolls over cause this girl HATES tummy time. Carson also hated tummy time and crawled before he could roll over. He too was sitting up early. He was actually starting to sit up about a week before he turned 4 months. Carson is becoming such a mature young boy. it seam like the past 3 weeks have been a total 180 for him. He is so much better about listening, helping with Rilee, beign patient when I need to attend to something else before attending to him, holding doors for people, but at the same time being just a boy. He loves to be outside finding snakes, frogs, riding his new big boy bike or driving his truck.

Exciting News

Brison got a new job!!!! This is great news for us. He has been wanting to make a change in jobs for a while but has been waiting for the right opportunity to come along. His new job has so many perks it just puts a smile on our faces. He is pretty much doing the same thing he is doing now, but just going to a new company. He will be moving to Piceance Well Service, moving up a motion (to a full time operator), getting a raise, and working Monday thru Friday (yay we finally get to go to church every Sunday as a family now). To say the least I am so excited for this change. It makes Brison nervous cause he is the soal provider and scared of change, which I totally get, but I know Brison will do great. He makes us so proud and works so hard to provide such a wonderful life for the kids and I. I could ask for a better husband or father for my kids. He will be done with Monument one week from today and start that following Monday for Piceance.

Happy 4th of July

I absolutely love this time of year. Our wedding anniversary, beautiful weather, pool time, watching the kids play outside, BBQ's, camping, fishing, friends and family... the list just goes on. So all that being said here is a few pictures of our lovelies.






5 Years wahooo

So on July 3rd Brison and I celebrated 5 years. We traveled about 4 hours away to spend the weekend at Flaming Gorge with our good friends Jimmy, Ashley, and Brook. We knew that it was probably going to turn out to be a mess but thought we would give it a try cause we really wanted to go. 1st off Carson had a little bit of a head cold so every time he fell or got hurt it was a major melt down and the poor little guy just didn't feel good. Rilee did well. Then that night it rained on us in the tent and every time one kid woke up crying it woke the other one up and then to top it off Carson puked everywhere in the middle of the night. Needless to say we were very tired that next day. We had plans of staying 2 nights but the next day wasn't looking so reassuring either. There were some nasty clouds in the sky and the rain was coming down. We knew that the best bet was to drive back home, so we did. We wish it would have worked out, cause we just love camping with the Keelings, but maybe next time. So, we came home and enjoyed the night watching fireworks and letting the kids get a good nights rest.

I had plans of uploading more pictures of our wedding day, but for some reason it isnt letting me, so enjoy the one. :)
