I'm Back!!!!!

Okay, I know. I have not posted a peep in months and months. The truth is, the school blocks this website, I now have a computer at home to blog from, and now that I have summer break I can post.


There has been so much that has happened since the last time I posted. We built our house and moved in Nov. 15. It has been such a blessing to have a home. Also, we have had tragedy with the sudden passing of my father in law, Rocky.  It has been so difficult. Brad and I have been extremely busy with athletics. I have been gone all summer also doing basketball camps. I can't wait for a vacation. There is so much to talk about that I don't think I would want to write it all down. So I'll just try to keep everyone updated as I go throughout the summer.


Kelby starts pre-k this fall. She is so excited. We have been trying to have school at home all summer getting ready for school. She is doing well. Today she counted to 100. She also is starting to really do well recognizing  with her letters and numbers. We are starting to be able to put letters together to make words. Lot's of phonics! Briley is also having school with us this summer. She is doing well on her alphabet and numbers. Also, her colors and counting is getting better. Briley also potty trained during the fall, and she is fully potty trained now. She was actually super easy to train. It kinda surprised me. I love my girls. God has Blessed Brad and I so much.


We also received a niece and new baby cousin this summer. On May 31st, Miss Harper Scout Wingfield was born. She was 6lbs 6 oz and 20in. She is so precious. We just love her bunches. Mom and Dad now have 3 granddaughters and 1 grandson. Our family is definitely growing every year. We will have to see if we gain more family members this year or in 2013. It will be exciting.


Well, I will try to write at least once a week. I am so excited to be back blogging! I will talk to everyone soon! God Bless!

Baby Fever.......

I went to a dear friend's baby shower yesterday, Amanda King Nelson. It was such a great shower, and it was so good to see everyone. There were 3 ladies there that were all going to have babies in December, and they were all having boys. All the baby gifts and baby clothes just got me thinking..... I might have a little baby fever. The only thing is I hate being prego. I am not a good prego person. I am sick 24/7 all 9 months. I always gain more weight than I'm supposed to and I don't want to have another c-section. I'm scared I'm gonna have a permanent pooch if I keeping cutting my tummy. My stomach isn't bad now, but I'm scared it's gonna be after 3. Plus I'm getting close to 30. I want to be done having kids by 30-31 for sure.   Brad and I want our time when we get older. Or maybe grand-kid time.


I love being a mom.(Most of the time);)  It's the hardest job ever. There are times I want to throw my hands up and say "I'm done". But I have to take 5 and get back in the saddle. My girls definitely know how to push my buttons. Probably because I knew how to push my mom's too. I wasn't ready to have Briley. She was a huge surprise and blessing. We were planning on waiting a few years for a second. I really want to maybe start getting a 3rd decided and done by next July. Either we are gonna try to get started next July or we will stay a 4 person family forever. Whatever the decision, God's hand will be on the whole situation. I want to have a boy,  but I definitely would love another girl. I already have her name picked out. Tinley Faith would be her name. I think Brad would croak though if we had another girl. He wants to be done having kids. He says he is great with two girls. I think he's afraid of having a third. LOL!


Anyway, seeing all the glowing women yesterday got me thinking. I love my children with all my heart. They are my world. It's so hard for me to keep Christ first in my life. My children come second. I thank the Lord for them everyday. If I were rich, I would have a house full, and I would hire a maid. I guess I will pray about it and leave it in the Lord's hands. I think I might have TMI'd.

Work, House, Football!!!

Life has been flying for us here at the Beller's. We have been keeping really busy. Between working, football, softball, the house, and the girls Brad and I have been exhausted.


I have been making lot's of the decisions about the house here lately. I bought all our appliances. One thing I do not look forward to is picking out all the fixtures. The people will be here Monday to start all the wood work in the house. Bricking should be done by Monday, I hope. We are so ready to have a home again.


Work has been going great. I am enjoying my classes, and I love my students.


Football is already going into the 4th week. CRAZY!!! We won the first game against Apache. They are a class A team and we are a class bigger than them in 2A. We have lost the last two games. In the Purcell game we did alright. We did somethings right on offense and defense, but mostly Purcell just played bad the first half. They made way too many turnovers. I knew they were gonna come out ready to go in the second half and that we had better be ready. Our secondary did really bad second half. Purcell is really good though. They have a STUD QB. Brad and I are huge Cole Swayze fans. He's a class A kid. We cheer for Cole all season in every sport except for week 3 of football. lol! They have many good players, but Cole is sooooo good. I will be sad that he's gonna graduate this year, but he has kicked our butt for 3 of the 4 years. The only reason he didn't do it a fourth was because he sat out due to an injury one year. If he would have played, it might have been 4-4 of a butt kicking. Purcell is a class above us and ranked 8th, I believe. They'll go far. Now on to Bethany. All I can say is WOW! They are unbelievable. Best team we will play all year even if we make it to the state championship. They have a couple, 2-4, D1 players. We got our hinnies BEAT. They are in 3A also. They made it to the state championship last year, I think, and I truly believe they'll be there again or even win it. They were really good. Now we didn't play well again. We have 10 turnover!!! Seriously, 10 TURNOVERS!!! It was ridiculous. I'm not talking about interceptions, just flat out fumbling the football. It was horrible. We could have helped ourselves by not turning the ball over. The score was 48-28. Hopefully we will go into districts playing better. You know it's always the coaches fault. So Mr. Beller better be working hard this week to get some wrinkles ironed out.


Also the football team this week participated in the Children's Bowl. Bethany schools and Washington both raised money all week to help the Children's Hospital in Bethany. It was so amazing. The kids got together on Thursday night at the hospital and brought t-shirts and gifts to the kids in the hospital. The visited with them, played games with the children, and tried to spread as much hope as they could. Most of the kids there are either terminal or they have severe disabilities. It was good for our students to see them and participate in this bowl. We raised over $11,000 for the hospital. It was a very awesome experience. I was very proud of our school and community. Seeing the children make me thank the Lord that I have healthy children, and I will continue to pray for their health always.


I have to go now. The girls are getting into things and I have loads of laundry to do. I hope all is well with you all. May God Bless You All!

Showers of Blessings........

Here in the Beller house, it has been quit eventful. We have had a lot of good things happen to us in the past few weeks, and we have had some not so good things happen.

Let's start with the bad and end with the good.

We had a friend, who we worked with at Lexington for a year, who had a motorcycle accident in Hawaii with his wife. His wife, sadly, passed away. I never got to meet her, but I feel so bad for JD.

My great aunt Shirley also passed away last week. She was a sweet and great lady. She will be missed dearly.

Also, I had a friend's dad from high school pass away Sunday from a heart attack.   

Today when I started my first job at Washington, we got news today that our pre-k teacher passed away this morning. She was a great lady too. She was very sweet and caring. I got to know her at Allstate Fitness because she was a member. We talked about her adoption of her son that just recently happened in June. My heart goes out to her husband and kids. It was a sad day at school today and will be for a long time.

Now on to better news.
I got a job at Washington Public Schools!!!!!!
I will be teaching and coaching!!!!
I will be teaching economics, computers I, US History II, and Oklahoma/World History!
I will be coaching JH fast pitch softball, 7th grade basketball, HS assistant girls basketball, and HS or JH slow pitch softball.
I am very excited! Brad and I will be together teaching and coaching again! I am so happy to be apart of this community. Brad and I now live in the Washington district, attend church in Goldsbby, and teach/coach in Washington. It's great!

Also our house is coming along. We are hoping to have shingles on our roof by Friday.
I posted some pics that I have taken here recently. Also there is a pic of Kelby and Briley at the bottom. That picture was taken when we went to Dallas last weekend for Brad's flag football tournament. We had a lot of fun and Brad really had a lot of fun playing on Cowboys Stadium Field.

We have been blessed by the Lord. Even through the passing of so many, the Lord still sustains. He has given so much, and we will praise Him through the good and bad. I know that I WILL see all of those people again in Heaven. They were followers of Christ and loved Him dearly. I pray for protection of All, and pray that each person I know will be blessed just as the Lord has blessed us. I will keep everyone updated as much as I can on what's happening with us.
Talk to all next time!

The Past Two Weeks...

The past two weeks have been a lot of fun for the Beller family.
We have been to our Lake House every weekend spending time with family, friends, and being on the lake a lot.
We have played and played and played.



 This is our new boat! We are very excited to have it. We get to tube, ski, knee board, wake board, and ride "SUPER MABLE".

"SUPER MABLE" is one of my bright ideas that I came up with to buy. It's a huge 3 seat er tube. I thought it would be great for our girls to ride. Kelby loves to tube and is not bad at it for a 3 year old. Of course we go extremely slow and there is always an adult with her. But I thought Mable would be great for them. My father in law decided to pull me, my dad, and my sister on Mable. I was having a scary great time when my father in law decided to turn the boat going 30 mph. Now that may not seem very fast, but in boat terms, that's flying. He turned it where dad and Kassie would be leaning toward me. Well lets just say I got flipped out of the tube, rolled 4 times on top of the water, and severely hurt my knee. I can't walk right. I have a friend who works for a orthopedic, and she thinks I tore my meniscus or maybe MCL. GREAT!!!! Thank you MABLE and Rocky for killing me. I don't generally cry a lot when I get hurt, but when I finally got all the water that I drank through my nose and mouth, I almost balled my eyes out. I just had a few tears streaming down my face. Of course my husband is saying "That was a really bad wipe out, but you're alright, suck it up!!" By the time I hoisted my self on to the boat, I dried up my tears and said I was fine. then I tried to walk and have been hobbling ever since. Lol!








 Beller Cousins!
 The girls are letting Brittani put make-up on them.
 Cousin Addy and Kelby playing in the boat!
 This is me riding on the little tube. I am wearing goggles, thank you very much, because I wear contacts. I have to see where I am going when I ride. I don't want to lose my contacts either. I got made fun of, but that's okay. I rocked the goggles and before the end of the weekend a lot of people were wearing them. LOL!
This picture was taken 20 years ago on July 2, 2011. My baby Brother, Kale, was born.
We celebrated his birthday at the lake. He is much much bigger now, along with me also. I can't believe he is 20 and that I am as old as I am. I literally remember this like it was a few weeks ago. Time flys by. I was 8 almost 9 in this picture, and Kassie was 6 almost 7. I was so proud of him. Still am. He's pretty cool!
