A little of this A little of that

First things first, I am already to get back to my family. I miss them so very much! I am caught in a tough spot, leaving my sister here in Michigan and coming home without her and yet so excited to leave so I can hug my kids/hubby. It's been a fun crazy and road trip across the country. And we've had many many good laughs and cries. I will be out here to see her as often as I can. I have to just to keep up with my hair....LOL Sorry honey it's going to be an expensive haircut...lol Just know sissy I am always a phone call away. I love you and miss you already and I haven't even left yet.....

Then secondly, when I get back home I will not have Internet again for who knows how long. I have to take my computer in to get fixed...ugh!! So there won't be much from me here in blog land or even my other sites as facebook and myspace.

And finally I wanted to show some pictures that we took at Paul Bunyan days carnival. I don't have many pictures of the older two because they were on their own to enjoy the rides. The picture of the girls singing is Trinity and Morgan (Tristian's girlfriend in his pirates hat). They did a great job for their first time. Anyways here is what I do have. Enjoy!!!

Our travels across the states Part 1

Day one of our road trip as we cross into Montana. And just to let everyone know we hated the state of Montana and think it should be given to Canada....LOL Just kidding. It was just really long and boring. We stopped off in Butte and oh boy I can now see why it's called Butte. But anyways here are a few pics, but don't get to excited there really isn't much to look at.





By the time we got to South Dakota I couldn't get my camera out in time to get the state sign so here is my picture for the state....lol it's of the first rest stop we came to. Oh yeah and their rest stops are so nice I was quite surprised. As for our trip through SD, it went pretty well. We got a room in Rapid City and had a late start the next day. We went to a small town of Wall and was looking around for one of my favs....black hills gold jewelry...fun fun fun. Then we hit the road again and oh boy we have never driven on such a straight flat road. And then we came up on this vehicle with their either road kill or actually hunted. It was so funny to see that I just had to take a pic.












Next is onto Iowa and unfortunately it was to dark to get their state sign....bummed. This is the only picture I as able to get. We like Iowa it was actually kinda cool to drive through that state.



And then there's Detroit, we finally made our first destination. So we drove none stop from Rapid City to Detroit.......holy cow is all I can say. We got here yesterday morning. Today was the first time that Dale drove us around and showed us all around. It was really neat to see some of the places around here. And scary at the same time. The first pictures are of the good ol' Hitsville U.S.A which was really neat to see. Alot of great music started there. And then the last two pictures are of one the bridge to Canada and then of St. Clair.











I will be doing a big update in a few days. Tomorrow we are onto PA and then to Jersey
and New York City baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO HOOOO.

A Small Summer Recap

I don't even know where to start. We have traveled around small towns in Northern Idaho, ended up being Camp Ground hosts. The kids loved it and we met some really great interesting people from all over the US. The only thing that really was trying was the fact that the mosquito's were so bad that the kiddos started having allergic reactions to the bites. That's when we decided that was enough of the Rving for now, plus it was getting cooler now. So with the RV backed up and found a rental for the time being and don't get me wrong I really liked Rving but it is going to be on the back burner until the kids are older and/or out of the house.
Here are a few pictures of the kids from this summer for now. Enjoy!!

Tristian and Zachary loving the quad, we can't keep them off of it.



Zachary on one of the mini horses. The kids all want one of their own. Go figure!


Here is Zachies 3rd birthday party at the Camp Ground.
