Will the real Kellee please stand up?

It has been some time now that I haven't felt quite like "Kellee".
I am not talking "baby-blues" or depression here people I mean not feeling like "Kellee".
Besides being inhabited by other people (recent pregnancies) by body has not felt my own. Or maybe it's that I felt so powerless over so much of it.
But I am beyond BLESSED to say I feel like good old Kellee! I have for a couple weeks now and man does it feel good. Constant spiritual reassurance has been a big help! But also feeling in control after feeling so out of control might be the biggest part.
I am thankful for my body and for all the things it does right. For all the trials I have gone through and for everything that is going to come.
It feels good to be Kellee!

had to throw in a picture of this cutie! Can you guess which chubby lovey he is?

Struggles keep on strugglin'

You know when you have a struggle that you are going through then out of no where 5 more trials fall from the sky and smack you in the face? Yeah that's my life the last...oh 3 weeks. Small things and gigantic game changer things. It's easy to pray about the small things, but oh those big ones. When you don't know which answer you want to hear because you don't want to go with any of them is well another struggle. I was laying down with tc for his nap and started to sing "Teach me to walk" and wouldn't you know it the Lord sent down some answers and comfort all in one. It's hard and not what I want to hear (remember I wouldnt like anything), but man is my Heavenly Father awe inspiring. These struggles are never going to be over, but if I do as guided I can face judgement day without fear and have the best person there for me, my Heavenly Father. Through Him I can do anything. Because he knows me better then anyone, even me. Xo Kellee

I want to be a "Doer" so badly it hurts

I am a firm believer in accountability. I know that if I put it out there I am more likely to actually do these things. So here it goes: Daily personal Scripture study• Daily Scripture study with Trae AND Mack• Full yoga DVD 3X a week• Organize Traes toys every other day• Wash and put away laundry on same day• Read from a novel once a week• Take 10 pictures a week• Drink 6cups of water a day• Blog weekly• Tell Jordan how grateful I am and how extraordinary he is EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!• Every month on the 2nd I am going to report on my progress! Wish me luck! Xo Kellee

This is a video from our wedding day! It's mostly me and my Dad dancing to "Isn't she wonderful". What teasures one can find looking for old things on your parents computer. And the thing is I have NO IDEA who caught this little gift. If you do please let me know.

What 7:30pm looks like around here

Trae helped me give Mack a bath in that blue bucket earlier. I guess he wanted to see what it was like. As long as he gets clean, right mommies!

Christmas 2011 and what we did for birthdays and New Years! Oh and the 5 year mark

For Christmas we went down to my parents house. We had a great time relaxing and spending time together as a family. TC got lots of books and little toys! J and I bought and gave out stuff to each other over the whole month. J bought a lawnmower and edger. I bought a iPod touch and a shark steam mop. Plus, lots of other stuff! We are SUPER spoiled!!!

For TC's birthday (12.27) he had a bug and didn't feel well (but have no fear he got a tri-cycle for his big day and we gave it to him the day before and he LOVES IT!).

So in his ACTUAL birthday, we snuggled as a family all morning, and after naps we went to use some of his birthday money on a toy he really wanted. He just LOVED walking in and actually getting to pick up a toy and take it home.

Then that night J's dad, step-mom, and half sister came into town on their way to Texas for the Utah bowl game. We went to dinner and TC started to feel better after we went for a swim at the hotel.

For New Years (12.31/1.1), we went down to Seminole to celebrate what a wonderful year we all had. A missionary came home, a wedding was had, an engagement was accepted, a baby Boy (Mack) was born, and 2 new babies were announced as on the way! The Armours were so blessed this year. 2012 will be great! What with 2 more babies and a wedding all by August! Busy busy.

Tc went to bed at a decent hour and we all just couldn't make it until midnight and crashed, but we tried and had fun!!!

Oh and I became obsessed with the movie Gnomeo and Juliet, it is great!!!!! I need to buy it because TC likes it too and lets me sing along.

For my b-day (1.3), we took my Christmas money & the boys out shopping. Mommy needed some clothes(if you postpartum mommies know what I mean). I really wanted some new clothes! Then we went to Olive Garden for a fabulous lunch. We sat by the funniest black lady! She was killing it the.whole.time! Seriously I thought I was going to pee my pants. Girlfriend should have her own talk show funny, okay? Okay.

It was a wonderful way to spend my 24th birthday with my sweet little family. I was surrounded by all these boys who are just in love with me, what could be better?!?!? Oh and that night we had a dance party in the kitchen (thanks to the new iPod docking station my 'rents gave me!Spoiled? YES!)

On our 5th Anniversary (1.5) we had the missionaries over for dinner. J and I had already celebrate back in November by going to a FANTASTIC sushi place up in the city. One of the missionaries celebrated his bday on the second (1.2) so it was only fitting to throw a MEGA party for him and tc and mack and myself. Oh and his name is Elder Trey Phillips! How cool is that! And he looks like our Trae! We did wings and fries. We consumed 6 lbs. of wings that night. Yikes! But they were delicious thanks to Jordan and all his hard work. For a special anniversary gift the elders sang us a song. Love it!!! I do stats every year and this year is no different.

2 apartments . 4 cars . 2 college degrees . 1 house . 2 sons . 3 car accidents . 10 church callings . 8 Jobs . bridesmaid 2x . groomsman 1x . 10 LDS General Conference . and a wonderful start to eternal bliss

Mack is a wonderful addition to our family! Trae just adores him and loves to help and give Mack hugs. M is a big boy who has only gained weight, never really fit into newborn anything, and sleeps really well. WE are all just so in love!!!
