Joel's Birthday at a campground…

So I’m a little behind on my blogging…. 3 weeks behind. I hate that – I love to blog things as they happen, but I’m also a chronological order freak so have a hard time jumping around if I get behind. Uploading pictures out here is an all day event, and things are just too […]

Great Northern Carousel…

Helena has a newer part of town called The Great Northern Towncenter, that is full of specialty shops, a steakhouse (who serves a killer smoked scallop portobello appetizer, by the way…), a fitness club, and a couple of buildings of interest to the younger set.  The one that interests my youngest set the most is […]

the kids are selling at a local Farmer's Market…

One of the things that have been keeping us busy this summer, is the bigs selling at a local Farmer’s Market.  Eli and Greg have been selling bracelets like crazy – and making them at the market like crazy – everyone loves to have them custom made while they shop. They still specialize in the camo/digital/natural […]

Fun times in downtown Helena, MT…

Yep, I’m still 2 weeks behind on here.  I WANT to blog, but I do have a real life too.  A real life filled with fabulous kidlets, a hard-working hubby (who is working extra hard to get us back on the road), and a campground full of campers who have lots of questions and occasionally need […]

Full-time RV Friends and mining sapphires…

One of the things that we love most about the fulltime RV lifestyle, is the people that we get to meet on the road!  This past winter was really our first time meeting very many other families.  We had only met a couple in the previous 2 years of travel, but this past winter, we […]

Peddling at the Manhattan Potato Festival

Yesterday, Greg, Eli, Beth, Thomas, Caleb and I hit the road for a little 2 hour jaunt so the kids could do a booth at the annual Manhattan Potato Festival.  Manhattan is a small town between Helena and Bozeman, and the Potato Festival is the event of the year.  It attracts over 5k visitors, and […]

Savanna's 5th birthday!

Our sweet Savanna turned 5 on August 2nd!  We had a fun little party with some friends that were visiting from Arizona.  The girls put frosting on the cupcakes – square cupcakes. They were square cupcakes because I forgot that I don’t have a cupcake tin…I still can’t remember what happened to it…(I probably decided […]

summer fun…

The other day, we picked up Gramma (Vaughn’s mom), who now lives here in town, and hauled her off to the park.  Why yes, as a matter of fact, Roper boots and hanna Andersson playdresses ARE an exceptable fashion statement in Montana. thanksforasking. We packed a picnic lunch, and the littles ran and played to their heart’s […]

Thanks Aunt Peggy!

We have been so busy spending time with special people and doing fun things lately, that I haven’t had much of a chance to blog.  One of the things that we had fun spending a couple of evenings doing, was playing out on Aunt Peggy’s boat (Vaughn’s sister).  We don’t tube or ski or go for rides on […]

at the lake…

our days lately… well, in between cleaning bathrooms and visiting new friends (campers and RVers). it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it  😉
