Hello Everybody!
I didn't think it had been so long since I last updated our blog, our first endeavor into letting people see our life. As you may know by now and some of you may not, we have a daily vlog! If you don't know what a daily vlog is: An unscripted video documentary of our life as it is EVERY DAY. That's it. Instead of reading what we've been up to you can watch what we've been up to, it's pretty cool. Here's a link to our page if you want to check it out and if you love it subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/ChelSukun
Any way there has been a ton of thing that has happened in literally the last... 7ish months. If you don't have time to watch it all here is a recap of all the big events!
Decemeber
Christmas time once again - Saryn had a completely blast! She got a doll house, little people and (2) car toys from Mimi and Papa that she loves to ride all over the place and hopefully will take some more adventures outdoors. She got building blocks from Grandma and Grandpa and enjoyed time seeing extended family.
December was a very humbling month for us and brought with it the joys, blessings, sorrows and reality of life as adults owning our own home. Don't worry with faith, love and trust we worked through everything without a hitch.
Kelsie took a well enjoyed week off of work to spend time with the family and loved every minute of it!
January
Holy cow a new year...2014. Alex was slamming busy with the school year starting up again, coaching swim team and high school as they finished out the school season. We enjoyed the little time we had with him as our schedules were opposite.
We found out that Erika is pregnant! So much happiness!
February
Alex took some of his swimmers for the high school to state and enjoyed the time down in Provo. Saryn made leaps in bounds in development and is always so cute to watch.
Kelsie hit a milestone in her weight loss as she trained for her half, she had finally lost 10 lbs and it was so worth it.
March
Saryn turned 2 and got a play house for her birthday she loves playing on it!
Alex went to Albuquerque for a coaching conference, the first time we ever spent time away from each other in 4 years of marriage! We missed him so much
We got a new car, the Journey is our power wagon..
Alex got the best birthday present he could ever hope for... Vidcon tickets and a family vacation in June. (And he got to ride in a viper)
April
Saryn went on her first easter egg dive at Surf and Swim, she loved picking up the eggs and playing in the water at the same time.
Alex passed all his classes with flying colors and is so ready to be done with school
We have a big announcement.. We are expecting baby #2 this December!
May
Despite having a lack of energy and time on her feet Kelsie completed her first half Marathon at 3:35:47. She did great and we are all very proud of her for pushing herself to accomplish a goal of hers.
Alex surprised Kelsie with flowers for her birthday and mother's day, she finally relented and will let me buy her flowers now. It makes her feel special.
We drove to rock Springs for Kelsie's grandma's 70th birthday. It was cool to meet her family I have never met before.
Kelsie likes to scare the crap out of me, we had an emergency visit to the ER when she started having a lot of cramping and bleeding. No worries tough everyone is healthy and happy.
Saryn decided bubbles are the best thing in the word, especially with Kaiya.
June
And here we are half way through June already!
I forgot to mention Alex started Targetballing with a fellow youtuber and they are now I think on day 73(today is superman) and some of their pictures are hilarious and are all over instagram and the internet. Saryn is growing and has struggles like most 2 year olds do with the terrible terrible 2's. It will get better and I got her to bed at a very decent time (8:45) tonight. I have my little wins every now and themAlex is working 3 jobs right now, Surf and Swim, The Rush and coaching. It keeps him busy and motivated. His grandma passed away on June 2nd and her funeral was that following weekend. We were unable to attend her funeral due to Alex's scheduling not being flexible for that Saturday. We had a good time up on Saturday evening and Sunday with his family remembering his grandma and the wonderful lady she was.
We go on vacation and vidcon next week, we are so excited!! This has been a much anticipated trip to get away and have our first family vacation together with Saryn. We have a few things planned but are so ready to leave!
I hope you guys enjoyed this update. I won't make any promises on how regularly it's updated, but the blog is staying to help us express things that we sometimes don't put down on video but would like to on paper!
Remember we love all of you! Stay Chelin'!
Love,
The Whacky Chels
Alex, Kelsie, Saryn, Chel #2 and Kaiya
