Our plan was to get an early start, but as I have stated before… John went into Walmart, then into Walmart again, I fixed a quick breakfast and some coffee. There are two restaurants that we like to hit for lunch on the way to my in-laws. I asked John if he wanted me to…
Since we have been without work and done with school for some time, we have been wanting to set out and get away from our house for some time. We had to wait for our basement project to be complete… ugh! What started as an eight week project took nearly nine months to complete. Throughout…
What a whirlwind the past year has been! Finding out we were unexpectedly expecting on April Fools Day 2019 rocked our world, but we quickly got on board with the excitement of adding another daughter to our caravan. We made many emotional and financial preparations for her arrival. We went full term with a healthy…
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10 I didn’t want to do a Christmas card this year. When we found out that we were unexpectedly expecting in April, we were terrified. Eventually we came to…
I pulled a bunch of pictures and have notes to finish last summer, but I know everyone is itching for THIS summer, so I will go back and fill in the rest of summer 2019 after I catch up with 2020
Trista is off looking for bears with Grandpa in CA, we are heading out to meet up and reclaim our sweet boy and then head west to visit Grandma and meet back up with Trista. Lunch time rolled around and we could have made a sandwich, but really didn’t want to. Eating out while gluten…
Today, three Carkeets (and a dog) left Wyoming without Levi! He is looking forward to some quality Maw Maw and Paw Paw time! Have a great week, son!
Today we packed up to head to the airport to send my sister-in-law and nephew back home. We all went so that we could then head back into the parks to turn in our Junior Ranger books and collect our badges. This is our goodbye selfie! I am blessed to have a sister-in-law that I…
There were sparks. Big sparks, lots of sparks. Sparks are bad. When we park at my in-laws, we plug into their house. We had the air conditioner kick off a few times, there were sparks in our rig and sparks on the side of their house. This is not good.
I *might* have enjoyed a little extra time at the hotel by myself today. I had to have mom at the airport at 0500 and really, it was still dark and probably not the safest, so I took my happy self right on back to the hotel (with an iced coffee in the fridge, and…
Today we experienced the best of what Dubois has to offer. We started off with Cowboy breakfast cooked off the chuck wagon, by my father-in-law, which is what he does best! The mules are always MORE than happy to help with leftover pancakes! Later we headed into town to introduce Mom to the World FAMOUS…
Today, we ventured over to the Tetons and Yellowstone with mom in tow! We expected some people, but I have never in my life imagined this many people in the park. IT. WAS. PACKED. When we went to Old Faithful, we found a bench for our family, ate our lunch and people began to fill…
