Beautiful Babies
I have lots to update but we're going out tonight, on a real date with friends and dinner and a babysitter. The whole nine yards so I need to get out of my scrubbies. Wahoo! So for now here are a few pictures of my beautiful babies. All of these were taken by Kristi Sheriff. I took them in for mini head shot sessions and she took the pictures below. Afterwards Kristi asked both of the girls to come back and do a "real" model shoot. Ohh do I have stories to tell from that day. And I will. Soon.

No Words to Describe This Week
Last week was exhausting. And continues to be this week.
Where to start. . . I guess with Dads Birthday on the 28th. That day we went sledding and I told Dad sledding on little pink sled should make him feel young. The girls helped to decorate his cupcakes and they decided his favorite colors are pink and purple so that is what he got. What a lucky guy.
On Monday I started my week of no sleep. Keeley had nightmares causing sleep talking and crying which lead to Brinley being awake and crying. On Tuesday Brinley broke out in rash and by Wednesday I discovered it was chicken pox and my brother, Sean arrived for a visit, lucky him. By Thursday I had accomplished 8 hours of sleep in 96 hours. I think that is a record for me. Thursday night was the night Brinley itched and itched. She did very good to stop when I reminded her I'm sure it didn't feel very good. Friday was Gails Birthday! Yay for that but I never got to talk with her because I was rear-ended by a drunk driver Friday. $2000 of Damage to the rear of my moms new car and my back is sore but I'm just lucky that is all that was done. The girls were not with my thank heavens. Saturday I was tired (although I did get 8 hours of sleep that night doubling the sleep I had received in that past week), emotional, sore and trying to deal with the accident Friday by a doctor visit and calls to insurance. Sunday. Thank goodness for Sunday! Brinley had to stay home with Chicken Pox so it was just Goose and I. I got to listen to the talks and I had an awesome spiritual Sunday. Until nap time that is when I caught Keeley poking Brinley with a toy to wake her up. I'm pretty sure the spirit left at that moment. Now we are back to Monday. Brinley is looking much better all scabbed up and healing well. Her head is the worst of it. I spoke with the insurance guy again and it sounds like they are pretty good company and we shouldn't have any issues with them paying for Dr bills and Car Repairs. I have found a solution to Brinley still waking up in the night and that includes an air mattress for me and a pack and play for her in the basement so everyone else can sleep and I can ignore her. Last night everyone was able to sleep in there original beds and not be moved around. We didn't get up until 6.
Brinley and the Pox
So here it is Tuesday the start of a hopefully much better week. I hope my back feels better and Brinley recovers from her Chicken Pox soon. Grateful for the small tender mercies of last week.
If you wondering about Matt he is doing well. He hasn't had work since last Wednesday as they moved the equipment to a new rig. He was suppose to start last night but I went to bed at 8:30 so I didn't get to talk to him. His biggest concern last week was keeping me from having a complete and total meltdown. Its still in debate if I have totally lost it. The verdict should be in this week.

Things to Say
I have pictures to show you but unfortunately I don't have the camera (or my cell phone) to share them with you (explanation coming). So instead I just have things to say.
We are here in Idaho. We just got the first snow, last night, we have seen since we got here a month ago. Crazy! My parents say it is the first time in 30 years they have experienced a winter this warm and snow less. Just my luck.
Matt finished CDL school, and passed! He left last week planning on being gone a few days to find a job but instead he found a job on the first day and started work the third day of his absence. We are now on day eight of him being gone with another 35-63 to go before we will see him again. Bummer. We were not expecting there to be such long times between seeing him. So we are still adjusting to the idea. Its sad but we are making do. He took with him my phone, for the Internet capabilities, and the camera so therefore I have neither. I have his ancient phone from years ago and it works well enough for us to talk, most days, and send texts.
Matt is hanging in there. I'm not going to lie this isn't his dream job but fortunately for me he does whatever it takes to provide for us three girls. And in the case of this winter it meant taking a long shot risk in search of eventually having more time with our family. Apparently it also meant standing in freezing water up to his knees at 2 am. He does it and he doesn't complain. It may have something to do with the fact that he got these amazing boots. They are waterproof and fireproof and are good to -145 degrees Celsius. He says the only thing they will be good for in NC is running into a burning fire.
Matt hours are suppose to get more regular today, but we will see. Yesterday was the first full (14 hour) day of work he has had. He is working days right now for 2-3 weeks and then he will start working nights. He lives in a 4 bedroom trailer with one other 49 year old man. They get along great and Matt says the guys cooks most meals for him. Including cookies for a treat before bed. I think he really lucked out because have we heard stories about roommates.
As for the home front we are missing Daddy. Brinley was diagnosed with asthma this weekend and we are learning lots about it from my mom. It is a blessing to be near my mom as we go through this discovery. My mom is a severe asthmatic. She has been since she was 3 and has been hospitalized more times than she can remember. That being said we have a personal aid in teaching us all the tricks to asthma like. . milk makes it worse but evaporated milk and cream are okay. Who would have known. Brinley sounded better today than she has in months. She is on steroids and nebulizer, plus is being treated for a ear infection and allergies. You should see this girl on steroids. Oh. My. She is off the wall. I just feel so bad that it has gone on so long. I took her into our pediatrician in April 11' because I thought she had asthma but he reassured me she didn't and she has sounded bad since. Since then she has had 3 ear infections a hand full of colds and a weird rash. Much of this may have been avoided had we known about her asthma. That is 9 months of not being able to take deep breaths. I can't imagine how miserable that would be.
There are all the things I wanted to say. Matt would say its boring without pictures but until I fix the Nikon camera its going to be that way.

A Sad Farewell
Per New Years Eve tradition we headed out to a couple party's. What isn't tradition is saying good bye to our NC family that we have made over the past 3 1/2 years. It wasn't fun and there were a lot of tears but I did it. It's over. And now I'm safely settled in Idaho Falls.
I made sure to get pictures. After I lost a friend a couple years ago it occurred to me that I had no pictures of her. We get caught up taking pictures of the kids and forget to take them of "our" friends. I want to be able to remember these awesome ladies who made leaving North Carolina so difficult.
(left to right Lena Adams, Me, Maria Stayley, Lindsey Grames)
(back:Andera Mackey, Chandelle Walker, Missy Carey middle: Mary Davidon, Lindsey Grames, Karen Pope front: Rebecca Newcomer, Me, Amanda Allen
The hardest part of it all was saying good bye to the Popes. Ohh how we love that family. Karen and I became best friends three years ago as did our husbands. My kids refer to them as Papa Pope and Aunt Karen but really they were more like grandparents (because they spoil my girls). They are the type of friends you can never replace. I saved saying good bye to her for last. Karen wouldn't even make eye contact with me as I hugged everyone else. Once I gave her a hug it was all over the tears came harder and sobbing started. Even the next day when Randy text us as we left Fayetteville I cried. They are amazing people.
When we left the Carey's Matt just held me by the car as I cried. Keeley asked "why are you sad Mommy?" and had to try once again to explain that I was going to miss Aunt Karen and all of our friends.
As we left NC for the last time (until the house sells) Matt and I talked about what we would and wouldn't miss about Fayetteville/Hope Mills.
What we WON'T miss is. 110 degrees plus humidity. People parking in their front yards. Trailers next to million dollar houses. Those "special people" you find in Wal-Mart only in Fayetteville. No sidewalks. No bike lanes. Collards.
What we WILL miss is the people. The Popes. Our friends (all of them, and there are a lot). Our NC "family" that we spent holidays and Sundays with. Our ward ( I also cried when I said goodbye to our sweet bishop). Living close to Matt Parents. Seeing the soldiers, hearing their stories, loving their families and gaining a great love for our country that we had never before experienced.

New Years Resolutions
1. Study my scriptures from 6:30-7:00 each morning. Focusing some of my study on personal characteristics such as humility, patience, love, charity and gratitude.
2. Lose 10 pounds this winter. And then happily gain it back if we are fortunate enough to have another baby.
3. Slow Down. Spend more quality time with my girls. Enjoy them more. Here is my inspiration for this
4. Blog once each week.
5. Settle Down. I'm ready to find a place to call home. That being said see resolution number 6.
6. To be sensitive enough to do whatever the Lord wants us to do and to make to most of it. We are in limbo right now Matt and I both are really working on doing whatever it may be that the Lord would have us do. This so much easier said than done. If that means going back to NC so be it, if it means Texas, North Dakota of Boise we will do whatever He would have us do. It's difficult for me to live with no game plan.

Simon's Homecoming
Simon returned home August 16 from the Las Vegas West mission. We headed to D.C that weekend to see him. I was wonderful to hear all the great stories he had to share. Matt and I spent several hours with him Sunday where we were able to hear some of his experiences. That is one great guy. While he was gone Keeley prayed for him everyday with the words"please bless Simon on his mission." So in her little world it has been hard to adjust to not needing to pray for him "on his mission." It helped to see him. Both the girls took right to him.
So while we were in D.C we went to an amazing park and Grandpa planned a BBQ picnic. Then complements of Mark and Gail we all rode the train and the kids hit up the carousel. It was the highlight.
The on lookers! Grammie, Grandpa and Uncle Simon
Brinley could have played all day on the slide.
Keeley and Presley took their far share of turns as well.
Grandpa told lots of stories! Here he is with the interest of the children.
And we of course got a family picture.
It was a lot of fun especially for the kids to see the cousins. We can't wait for Christmas to add Haliee, Nate, Luke and Pete to this crazy bunch. (Kenz and Lorie were excited for you to come as well but I don't count you two as Crazies.)

Domestic Diva
Yep that's me. . . One day a year! Actually two days this year.
First day was when Karen and I canned pickles and peaches for 13 hours.
The second day was when I learned how to make peach pie from scratch. It was well worth the trouble. I ate my weight in peach pie that weekend. This is Keeley with her mini pie!

All in a Summer Day
A few chocolate chips cookies and you get a chocolate face
A few minutes in a sand box and you get sand packed hair
Try and clean her up and you get a MAD wet chocolate faced, sand packed hair child. 
However, Keeley faired much better in this hose bath.

Grandpa Allan and Bev
Grandpa Allan and Bev made a special stop at our house in July. It was out of there way but they willingly drove from Asheville on their vacation to see us for a couple hours. These our some of mine and Matt's favorite people. Matt wanted to name Keeley, Keeley Allan after this guy. I see some similarities, they both make great princess'. Keeley is still talking about Alan playing dress up with her.
Bev and Allan allowed me to stay with them during my internship in Southern California the Summer of 06'. Matt and I got engaged that summer and they put up with both of us that entire summer. I often think back to that time all the dinner they fed me and the help they gave us. I'm very grateful for them but more than that I'm glad they are our friends. We love you guys and thanks for stopping by.

July 4, 2011
This is truly a magnificent day when you live in a city based around a military base. The spirit of the 4th is especially strong here. We started the day with a parade in our little city. We had the entire crew out there.
Brinley and Karen Pope
Brinley and Chandelle Walker
Brinley and Daddy(apparently she was making the rounds)
Keeley and Me
Grammie and Grandpa
That evening we went to the Mackey's for their annual 4th of July party. Swimming, good food, fireworks, and great friends these are my favorite days! Andrea still hosted the party with her husband deployed. Those women with deployed husbands amaze me. Something else that has been new for us this summer. This round of deployments we have been so much closer to people who are deployed. In the past three months we have said goodbye to 2 very close friends. And the end of August we will do it again with Mike and Adam. Each time it almost brings tears to my eyes, which is saying something if you know me. We are so grateful for the sacrifices they are making for us, and the sacrifices their families make. We miss you guys and look forward to the day you will return.
Here is about half of the kids watching the fireworks that evening.
Here is the other half watching Kenny light them up.

Hilton Head Island
The beginning of June we went on a family vacation. It was short only 3 days and two nights but it was wonderful! The best one we have had. We went to Hilton Head Island and stayed right on the beach at a Hotel. The water was perfect even for the skinny ones in the family. It was hot which made playing in the pool and the ocean all day and ideal thing to do.
Many sand castles were built . . .
and lots of waves were chased.
We stayed up late and ate lots of ice cream. We even hiked to the top of a lighthouse.
I hope we get to go back next year!

Keeley is 3! And she isn't afraid to tell you. Since before Matt's birthday she has been telling us the order of birthdays. She'd say "First Daddy's birthday, then Brinley Birthday, then Mommy's Birthday, then KEELEY's." She went through about 10 party themes before she settled on Hello Kitty. I think she picked that mostly because she wanted the cake from Sams Club, which suited me just fine.
Brinley dug the cake and ice cream. She always knows that if you want sweets to find Papa Pope. He always has a spot on his lap.
We had a little family party with the Popes and we were lucky enough to have Grammie Roberts and Grandma Verna in town as well.
A little about Keeley:
Her name is Keeley, not Goose. Or at least that is what she tells everyone, poor girl we still call her Goose.
She is all princess, painted toes, and dresses. That is a learned trait she didn't inherit that from me.
She loves to sing and dance. She loves the pool.
Favorite time of the week is Monday night for Family night. She runs and jumps around the house when she realizes it is Family Night.
She weighs 27 pounds and I have no idea how tall she is but I do know she isn't at the 95% anymore she is somewhere around the 50%.
She is a momma's girl. When she wakes up from a nap sometimes Matt will be home but she will walk right past him and search for me to give a hug.
She always says to me "You're my best girl mom." "I love you mom." even when I'm mad at her which I know she is playing me but it melts me everytime.
She is a sasser. I can't believe she talks back like she does and we are working on it but my goodness that girl.
She can spell her name, count to 20 (but she skips 15), and tell you all the colors including chartreuse, which I have no idea what color that really is. She can't wait to start school.
I know this is a little off subject but I want it to be recorded because it was one of the scariest moments I have had as a parent, next to the time Brinley stopped breathing. We were at a friends birthday party. and there was a pool. Keeley had a floaty on but somehow she managed to take it off and jumped in without it. I saw her do it and quickly got to her. She drank a enough water that she was throwing up for some time. Matt was furious. That is how he reacts when he is scare. (Which I think is interesting because that is exactly how my Dad is when he is scared.) We had a long talk with her and explained she could die. A little while later everyone except a few kids were out of the pool because they were opening presents, cutting cake having dinner ect. Keeley was up and down from our table playing with her friends so it didn't occur even make me nervous that she was gone for a few minutes, which is really all the longer it was. But the next thing i know is I see Keeley soaking wet walking next to the pool. I don't know what happened or how she got out but one way or another she got into the pool without us knowing and went totally under. I about threw up myself when I saw her walking back. She was terrified and so was I. I just feel so blessed that she is okay. Since then we have done swim lessons to help her learn to swim. She is now much more afraid of the water but I'll deal with that fear when she can swim better.
Keeley Goose, I love you. I never want you to forget that. Your my bestest girl ever too and I feel so grateful that I've got you. Through thick and thin I'll always be here for you. Happy 3rd birthday. Love Mommy
