So I have decided to go PRIVATE

I don't really know if anyone even reads my blog but I just am afraid of who is out there. Travis took me to a movie last night called TAKEN and it sacred me. So I laid in bed last night so sick I just can't even imagine what I would do if something like that happened to any of my kids. I just can't believe stuff like that really happens. If you haven't seen that movie and you have kids you really need to watch it. I will have my children watch when Travis and I think that they are old enough. I love where I live, I really feel safe here, but you never know! Anyway I am going private so if you want to see my blog just leave you email. I haven't done very good at keeping up but I do have some more pictures that I want to post but I am going to wait. I am going to do it the first part of April.

UPDATE

Well it is about time for an update.... We have been so busy the twins don't actually turn two till next month but I am pretty sure the hit the terrible two's in January. They have been way hard they don't want any one but dad although, they will tolerate me. Lets just say that it is a good thing that Travis leaves for work before they get up. Travis quit the boys home. I am so happy to have him around more. He helps alot around the house and I really appreciate it. We still have his cow and that is fun we go out and jump in Travis's big brown truck everyday to feed them. By the way the twins act you would think that we are on are way to Disneyland they love to go feed the cows. I got a job, if you can call it a job I am the DHS cheer coach it has been fun but the last few weeks have been crazy. Travis and I went to Las Vegas for 4 day and had a blast we decided that we need to take a trip like that once a year. We ate at nice restaurants, we slept all night and most importantly we got some us time which was so nice. But I got back on a Thursday and found out about the job on Friday and couldn't really say to much about till Tuesday. I am really excited about how this has worked out Julie Johnson (not my mom but the coach from when I was in high school) is the advisor and then I am the Coach and Taylor Lovell Petersen (my friend from high school how knows a ton about cheer and is so fun) is the asst. Coach. So we could tell everyone on Tuesday then Try-outs had been planned for Friday but we decided that we had not had enough time to plan for things and didn't need to make a cut we would do it the following Wednesday. We have an awesome team really they are all good. I can't wait it is going to be a good year!! Anyway I have been really busy with that so Travis has had the kids for most of the time since we got back but I hope that it will calm down now that try-out are over! I know that Travis will read this so I am going to thank him now for helping me do this he has been so supportive you can't even imagine. I have been home late and gone early he has really help me. But most of all he has just pushed me to do what make ME happy THANKS TRAV I LOVE YOU!!!! And I have to thank my mom and dad because like I said the twins don't like anyone but Travis so Thanks mom and dad for taking my two crying boys!!! Anyway I am so glad that it is finally starting to warm up out side it is so nice. The twins can go out and play! And Travis can start to do alot more horse riding. Sorry to anyone that cares to read my blog that it has taken me so long to post I will try to do better. I hope that I can get some pictures taken that is when post are fun!!

The twins shaking a leg

This is what happens everytime I turn on music. They are so funny. Sorry that I am not very good with the camra. And sorry my house is a mess.

Christmas at the Keel's

Well it took me all year to save and I spent more than I had saved anyway. Plus 3 months to shop I was done pretty early but I could always think of one more thing that they need or wanted. All the preparation for 3 hours of Christmas I never realised how much work it was for my parents. They never said or did anything to make it look like work. My mom always made Christmas at our house so much fun. By 4:30pm on Christmas Eve I was ready to send all my kids to bed and cancel Christmas all together it didn't help that of course, Travis was working that night so he left at 5:30pm and then we woke the kids up at 6:00am so Travis could watch the Twins get excited over the little animals that Santa was not going to even bring. Not the Tonka Trucks that -he- waited in line for at 4:00am in the freezing cold for. Or the PSP that Santa didn't bring because the meanest mom in the world told Santa that he couldn't bring it because last year he brought a Portable Play Station that never gets played and is lost 90% of the time. Janie was the only one that even acted excited all she want was a Hannah Montana computer but Santa could only find a Barbie Computer but she was still excited and after about 5 minutes she loved it. Tayt did say today that he loves the remote control car that he got. Anyway after all that I only took like 5 pictures and can't find my camera anywhere. I am trying to get caught up on all my house work I know it will turn up. I have been a slacker I haven't wanted to todo alot, with the kids out of school. My parents got us a wii and we have been playing that. We also got some fun movies I think we have watch Kung fu Panda a dozen times. We really like it. It has been fun but I am glad it is over. Sorry about not having any pictures I could say that I will try and get some up, but who am I kidding as of lately I am just trying to keep my head above water. Yesterday Dave learned to open the front door so he went out in the -5 weather and (Thank you) Jared shut him out I could not figure out why Jared was pounding on the door. I had a feeling that I should open it so I did and there was poor Dave frozen and about to run off screaming he could only have been out there for a minute at the most. But yes another one of those moments when you really feel like the worrest mothers in the world. When my 20 month old is standing in the snow on the porch in shoes and a diaper. He loves shoes he had me up a 6:30 wanting his shoes on so that was good. But what would have happen if I had not listen to the holy ghost? It could have been really bad. So yes I think my twins are harder now then when they were babies. And I know this will sound really bad but if anyone has a movie that they think twin boys will sit and watch I am open to ideas. I would love to have 30 minutes during the day to get some thing done or just to just sit and know that they will sit with me. Please help!!!!

Temple Square

We did our Keel Thanksgiving at Travis's brother up north. So I decided that since we where so close to the temple we should go see the lights the kids loved it, the twins couldn't figure it out they would point at something and then they would jabber some words that didn't make any sense and and then look at me like, So what is it mom? It was so fun they are getting so big!! I have to add a story from yesterday. Travis and I had been sitting in the front room talking. When the twins come running down the hall and right to the Christmas tree. Travis tells them "no no Christmas tree" they both just stand there so close they could touch the tree with there noses . Jared come over and sits on the couch next to me. Travis wants to show me something so we leave the room and not even two minutes after we leave we can hear Jared yelling "da-da da-da da-da" that is what it sounds like when Jared says David. We go back in the room to find our no no David elbows deep in to the tree and Jared yelling on the top of his lung still on the couch it was so funny.

We went with Bill and Amy. It was so fun the kids really get along.

Travis's little brother came to. Uncle Ben and his girlfriend Katie. We really like Katie she is so much fun. Ben also got his mission call last week to GUAM can you believe that he will be a good missionary. I know that I will miss him!

Happy Anniversary

I love my husband I can't believe that we have been married for 6 years. Really that doesn't feel like a long time. We have so much fun together. We really don't have anything in common but we can always find something fun to do. We love to be together I really can't imagine any one that I would want to be with. He is a great dad and a wonderful husband. He works so had so I can stay home with the kid, and he tries to give me every thing I want. I have planned all month to post a cute wedding picture but my days have just gone by so fast I will try maybe next week. Tonight we are at Travis's brother Bill house. Travis said that he would take me to Twilight and I said that I would take him to the Texas Roadhouse his favorite place. I am so excited.
I love you so much and am so thankful we can be together forever.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

I love my VETERAN

These are the guys that he went to Iraq with. All of them are really great guys. That was one of the hardest thing I think either of us has had to do. Yesterday I was reading some of the letters that I sent to him while he was in Iraq and Okinawa Japan. I asked him why he ever stayed married to me, I was the sappiest wife ever. It didn't help that I was pregnant with Jaine. I wrote some of the dumbest things, but at the time I guess that is how I felt. A look back at those letters and that first year of are marriage and I think that was when we really learned how much we loved each other. And all the while he was just doing his duty to his country. I don't think he has ever once regretted going and I know he would do it again if he knew that leaving me home with the kids with out him wouldn't make me go crazy. Seriously we owe our veterans and I am not just saying this because I am married to one. The men and women that went before us had it so much harder then we could even imagine. I would cry everyday that I didn't hear from Travis. My heart would hurt. I cant even fathom being a wife in any World War or any other war for that matter I have talked to a woman that sent her husband to war during WWII and didn't hear from him for 2 YEARS. Everyday not even knowing if he was alive. The men left their wives and children not knowing if they would ever see them again. All of this so that we could live in this FREE country. I love you Travis.
