One of the things that we love to do when we visit Park Lake (Montana), is to take walks. We walk around the lake, we walk down below the little man-made dam to what we call the Lily Pond, we walk to the ‘frog pond’. People who don’t explore, think that there is just Park […]
back-wood's Park Lake…
The last week and a half were spent at our favorite mountain lake, Park Lake. Located about 45 minutes out of Helena, the location is accessible by a 20 mile, washboard riddled, sometimes one lane, road-sickness incurring, dirt road. And while it took nearly an hour and a half to get the toy hauler up […]
Joel's Birthday…
Hard to believe it, but our baby boy is 8 years old!!! I still call the 3 youngest boys the ‘little boys’ – they are 12,10, and 8, so I guess I’m going to have to find a new moniker for them one of these days. Joel was our first homebirth baby – and he […]

no worries about neighbors here…
can you guess why???hehehe!!! comes with having big brothers I suppose! Actually, we usually have close neighbors. Not sure why – if they are curious or they think that we won’t notice if they neglect their kids and send them over to our site to babysit. At this point, we wouldn’t notice a few more […]

We have been so blessed to have seen incredible sunsets all over the country, but none can compare with our own showing of God’s handiwork right here at home… (the pic is lame compared to the real thing!) We have been blessed to be able to camp in some really great campgrounds that we would […]

Having grown up in this same area that we are in now, I have some favorite places that I went with my family growing up, and that now our family enjoys visiting also. One of those places is an out of the way little valley with a small stream running through it. To get there, […]
Malstrom Air Force Base Air Show
A couple of weekends ago, we all hopped in the van (Greg too!), and drove to Great Falls, MT, which is about an hour and a half north of Helena. We were on our way to the GF International Airport, which would be the location of this year’s Malstrom Air Force Base’s Open House. I […]
Peanut's Birthday…
By 1 Comment
Savanna turned 4 in the beginning of August. She had cupcakes and a little cake… We spent part of the day at the beach swimming. When Dad and Greg got home from work, we had a small family celebration at our campsite, and Peanut got to open her presents… She is actually very hard to […]
