What a day at @officialanime307! Thanks for having us, and thanks to everyone who stopped by!
Bridger had a booth in celebrity row and gave a presentation with @robertwalker307 on how to be a hero, but highlight for me was meeting other heroes… the guy at Office Depot, who printed our displays, was wounded while serving in Qatar, and another veteran who told us she heard about Bridger while serving in Georgia (also a wounded warrior!), the girls who stopped by the booth just to tell Bridger how awesome he is, the vendors who chatted with Bridger and made him feel like a star (thanks @ram.booth for the discount too!), the young man who geeked out with Bridger over his new Pokémon cards, and the woman who bought Bridger a giant Kirby plush and just made his entire day. @moonbean21 He’s still grinning!
It is people like these that remind me that the world is full of amazing individuals using their God-given talents to make the world a better place. So many heroes all around us! 🤩

Just dropped my baby off at kindergarten! He went in excited and ready to take on the world. I sobbed the whole way home. 🤦♀️ It`s always bitter sweet when summer ends. I`m excited for the kids and all they are going to learn and experience, but I sure miss them!
The kids were a little extra nervous this year. New school, new teachers, new friends… I pray they have a great day, that their teachers are patient and kind, and that they make tons of new friends. 🙏🙏🙏

Today’s the day! Our book is officially available! We’re not sure what happened, but we love that many of you recieved your books early! 🎉 Many thanks to those that shared it. We have felt so loved and supported these past few weeks!
Tonight to celebrate, we will be doing a live on Instagram at 6:30 pm mountain time (8:30 eastern). We would love to hear what you thought of the book, and answer any questions you might have- about the book, or even just the kids and our family. We’ll give some background into the inspiration for the book and share some things we have learned as a family from this experience with Bridger. We hope you’ll join us!
Also, here we are shamelessly begging for reviews. One of the best things you can do to help new authors is leave a review. Not only do we love hearing what you thought, but it also helps the blasted algorithms that we are all a slave to.
Once again, thank you so much for being on this journey with us, supporting us through the years, and helping us share the message in this book that we have become so passionate about! We love and appreciate you all!

July 9th marks 4 years since Bridger got hurt. This time of year always comes with a lot of reflection and introspection.
This morning I was chatting with the kids’ Aunt Nicole (the one who originally posted Bridger’s story.) She apologized and said she sometimes feels guilty for putting the kids in the spotlight like that. It was never a consideration that it could blow up like it did!
My response: Don’t feel guilty! Thank you! Has it come with challenges? Sure! But the net outcome has been overwhelmingly positive. I have been inspired by how many good people there are in the world! We have learned so much as a family and we have grown in so many ways. We are closer and stronger than before. We have met incredible people and had experiences that would have been otherwise impossible. We’ve been able to be a part of something much bigger than ourselves. What a blessing! I find myself wanting more and more to shine a light on all of the good in the world. Heaven knows we hear enough of the bad!
In my opinion, all of this could only have happened with some divine intervention. Those first couple months, I felt an undeniable peace and guidance that I can’t explain. We found ourselves just knowing how we should respond to inquiries and how to approach Bridger’s recovery in the most positive ways possible.
For the first time I understood what people meant when they said, “I felt your prayers”. I could literally feel the strengthening and guiding influence that came as a result of those prayers. I could feel my Savior comforting me, lifting me, guiding me, and speaking hope to my soul. I could not have made it through on my own!
This experience has inspired us to work on the project that we will announce tomorrow! It is just the beginning of our efforts to give back to the world that did so much for us. I can’t wait to share it with you! 😘

Summer update: if you follow @robertwalker307 then you probably already know we have big news to share… But this isn`t it… We`ll keep you in suspense a little longer! (July 9th to be exact!) 😅
In the meantime, enjoy some of our summer adventures: Our new axolotl. He`s super social and loves to come out and say hi when people come in. Hiking, swimming, paddleboarding, kid-safe paintballs, and just lots of fun time together. This is my favorite time of year, and it always goes too fast!
Stay tuned! We`re super excited to share what we`ve been working on! 🤩

I love these new family photos by @shelbibaileyphotography! I can’t stop staring at my adorable kids. 😍😍😍 They insisted on bringing the dogs, and I was skeptical that we’d get any good photos, but all of my favorites have the dogs in them. 😂 Our family is utter chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 🤩 Thanks for putting up with us Shelbi!

Looking at this picture, you wouldn’t know that they spent the whole day bickering! 😂 There were also lots of giggles and fun, but it’s easy to let the frustration overshadow the good stuff. I’m grateful for the moments that remind me they really do love each other.
Today was pretty great! I’m so grateful I got to spend it with family, and I’m extra grateful for the brave men and women whose sacrifice has made it possible for me to enjoy freedom. Happy Memorial Day!!! 💕

Wit and I got to cheer for Bridger at his track meet yesterday! He did the long jump, relay, and 50 meter dash. He did so well, and more importantly, had a blast! He’ll be going to a different school next year, so it was bitter sweet to see him with all the amazing friends he has made.
There was a lot of time between events, and Wit couldn’t resist all the dandelions. 😍🥰 I love hearing the random things he wishes for. 😂

Oh great! Now they want an alpaca… 😅🤩 Thanks to the gentleman from @sawdustalpaca for taking the time to let the kids pet his alpacas and answer all of our questions. You made our day!

Spring break with cousins in Cali! 😍 It was time for a girls trip (plus Wit 😂). Where did Brielle want to go? To visit her BFF Aunt Nicole of course! @nicolenoelwalker

What would you do? Here’s the context:
Bridger loves collecting things and his newest love is @drinkprime. I don’t understand it at all, but he loves it, and is constantly keeping tabs on the new flavors and “rare” bottles.
He only has 3 things on his Christmas wish list:(none of which are particularly expensive, all of which we can afford, we are not in any way asking for help with Christmas! Just wondering what the masses think about this…)
So here is my dilemma. The KSI Prime was a limited edition in the UK for a couple months. It is now going for about $50-60 PER BOTTLE! My mama taught me to be frugal, so I balk at the idea of spending that much on a bottle of glorified juice. However, he’s not asking for much, this is what he wants, and it is within my means to obtain. What to do, what to do?!?!?! 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂
So, what would you do? Help a mama out… Comment below or respond to the poll in my stories. I’m also interested to hear what things you or your kids have collected that others might think is strange?

😂😅Wit (4 yrs old) has voice to text figured out, but his pad is linked to my phone. I apologize in advance if you get weird messages from me like Mylee did today… 😂😂😂 For context, Mylee is learning Korean and Wit likes to push her buttons. The next two pictures were messages he sent to my husband. I’m worried not knowing who else he might have texted… 😅😅😅

So many amazing and inspiring individuals here at the 2023 WBC Convention in Tashkent, Uzbekistan! It has been wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. 💕

What an honor for Bridger to get to award the “Bravest Woman on Earth” award to boxer @dayanasanchez515, who was burned in a house fire. Her reaction to adversity is inspirational. What a beautiful human being! 💕

Also, I have so much love and respect for the WBC family. The care and concern they show their boxers is incredible. I’m so grateful they have welcomed us into the family and have showered Bridger with that same care and concern. What a blessing they are to the world! @wbcboxing

Robert and Bridger were invited to a local middle school to talk about how we’re all connected within a worldwide community, and how little acts of service can make a big difference in someone’s life and in the world.
Bridger issued his challenge to be someone’s hero by doing something kind every day. Thank you Trail Ridge Middle School for the warm reception! We look forward to hearing how your students have risen to the challenge! #thebridgerchallenge @stephaniekeesling307

My Beauty with her Beast. 😍 Love these two!
I love to bake, so it’s only natural that our oven AND microwave would both break while Robert has been gone for work for this month. That’s just my luck! 😭🤦♀️😂
It had to be fixed! I do a lot around the house, but Robert has always been the handyman, so this was a new experience for me. Gotta say, I’m kind of proud of myself! 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Of course, I HAD to bake some cookies to make sure I fixed it right! 😂
I’ve been counting down the days until his return (only 3 to go!), and I have a newfound respect and empathy for military wives and single moms (or dads!) Seriously, you guys are incredible! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

This was my favorite moment from Johnny’s first ever wrestling tournament: the kid Johnny just beat gave him such a heartfelt hug, reminding me that what mattered most today was not how many matches were won.
We’ve been to a few Jiujitsu tournaments where our boys have cried after losing. And who can blame them? They put in a lot of hours training. The time, effort, focus, and sometimes pain… they put a lot of themselves into it. It only makes sense then that there would be a lot of emotion in a loss; that they might question what they did wrong or how they weren’t good enough. It becomes personal.
To be able to push that emotion aside and be happy for your opponent, I think is truly remarkable. What a great kid! May we all be genuinely happy and excited for the successes and good fortune of those around us. When we lift each other up, we reach greater heights.
I’m also super proud of Johnny for taking on the challenge to learn a new skill. Watching my kids do the things they love is one of my favorite things! 🤩
