Summer is here ~ a time for us to take a deep breath & enjoy life. We look forward to road trips in the motorhome, continuing to progress on our lengthy list of home improvement projects, spending time playing outdoors & lounging in the sun.
World’s Largest Buffalo
We happily said farewell to Montana and looked forward to the sights and landscapes of a new state.
North Dakota was especially exciting as we looked forward to seeing some sights from our book, “The Great American Road Trip”. From our turtle-speed in the motor home, we saw the world’s largest cow – a tribute to [...]
Still in Montana
We left the hail and weather behind us as we headed toward Big Timber, Montana.
By the time we arrived, there were only minutes left until the pool closed… it turned out the pool was not suitable to swim in, so the kids opted for the Bounce Pillow instead!
Big Timber, Montana was home to many mosquitoes. [...]
4 States in 1 Day!
We left Oregon a little later than anticipated, but made up for it with a LONG day of travel! We drove straight through Idaho in the blink of an eye…
Through the heat of the day, we drove & drove. The girls kept themselves busy making the cutest little friendship bracelets… we are all wearing them [...]
Dinosaurs, Hail, & Cranky… oh my!
Today we left an hour earlier than yesterday, so we had high hopes of making our goal! We didn’t realize we’d be dealing with some crazy weather conditions and cranky a mama!
We drove four hours before arriving at the Museum of the Rockies. We enjoyed lunch in the warm weather before heading into the museum. [...]
A Rough Start
The RV went into the shop to get a “shake-down” which we learned means to ‘get ready for a road-trip’. We originally planned to head out on our road trip Sunday. When the RV wasn’t quite ready, we had to adjust our plans… We left Hockinson at 9:00 on Monday evening.We were SO excited to [...]
Getting Caught Up…
Josh and I have both had a whirlwind end to the school-year. It felt as though we were running on full speed for weeks. Yesterday was Josh’s final day for the 2009-2010 school year… so now we can take time to rest & slow down.
Here are the highlights of the past 2 months:
Stacie attended a [...]
James – End of the Year
James is quite a little man. He has spent the year absorbing and learning all about life… a BIG part of this wonder about science and his sense of adventure is thanks to the amazing teachers at Country Friends Preschool.

End of the Year: Abbie
Abbie has finished her 7th grade year and is now officially a teenager!
Track wasn’t something I ever expected Abbie to be interested in, but she wanted a Spring sport, so she tried it… and guess what? She is really good! She ran hurdles, the 400 meter, and long jump. She learned much and excelled at [...]
