Life as a Yowler

Warning: do not read this if you are squeamish and nervous about blood or injuries. Today was a traumatic day for all of us, but mostly for poor little Isla. This morning I had all the kids up at he playground. Brandon had just left with the van for his store training. Papaw Bill was…

Today was a busy day. Brandon started out with his store training. The rest of us swam while he worked. We walked around the campground for a little while. KOA San Antonio is one of our favorite campgrounds. We stayed her last year too. After Brandon was done training, we ate lunch then headed to…

We told the kids we were going to take them to see waterliles. All three of the older kids asked if they can jump on them. I blame Splash Village(an indoor water park near us with lily pads to jump across). We explained that these will be different. They are just to look at. Now,…

Yesterday, Brandon had his store training in the morning. He took Brielle with him. He said she behaved very well. Our kids usually do very well one on one. After his training, he came back to camp and we loaded up and drove to the next camp in San Angelo. Brandon set up the RV…

Yesterday the weather was beautiful, around 95 degrees but windy so not miserably hot. Right around 7pm the weather took a turn. We turned on the news and realized there was a tornado warning very close to us in Lubbock, Texas. Luckily we had just cleaned our outdoor toys up and we all ran inside…

We did a couple of fun things yesterday. We had a very full day. Brandon had his store training in the morning(which ran late), then we had a six hour drive to Amarillo, Texas. When we got to the campground, we recognized it right away. It was one of our favorite campgrounds we stayed at…

In case you’re wondering if the news reports are true about all the flooding going on, yes they are. On our drive to the campground yesterday we got a call from the owner. He wanted us to be aware of what we were getting into. He said most the camp, including the playground was covered…

Anyone who know Brandon knows that he has this unique ability, different than any other human I’ve ever met, to always come insanely close but yet avoid disasters. Very unique things happen to him. There is example after example that I can give, but I’ll narrow it. We can’t foeget the time the turkey came…

Here is a summary of the reason I chose this title. As you can see, I have a hard time saying no to cute kids(who by the way are extra cute and sweet when they want to sleep with me). Them- “can we please please please sleep with you, mom? We love you so much!”…

We had our first traveling stress yesterday. We got a flat tire on the van(that we’re towing). We noticed it when we were parked at a campground. Brandon filled it with as much air as he could. He drove fifteen minutes to an auto body shop. I wasn’t as worried about him as I should…
