  • Hey y’all! Welcome to the first official “episode” of our channel! In this episode, we share a quick overview of who we are, how we met, and the journey of our relationship (courtship, engagement, wedding, and newlywed life). We also share about the inspiration for starting a RUclips channel to begin with. Being uncle and aunt to several nieces and nephews, we enjoy finding ways for kiddos to have fun. At the same time, our heart is to support parents who desire to lead their children toward eternity and the Heavenly Father who loves them. In future episodes, we plan to share about what impacted, benefitted, and guided us as kids, and also enjoy some art/craft time with the littles who live locally. Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to our little Keilen Corner!

    I don’t think I ever clicked so fast on a RUclips suggestion before! I’m thrilled to see the 2 of you making YT videos!!! I am a fan of your families TV show, and is where I learned what I know about the 2 of you! I am a professional artist and seamstress, and have really enjoyed seeing both your endeavors over the years. I wish you great success here on RUclips! And I am already looking forward to next Saturday!❤
