Life as a Yowler

Is anyone laughing at this title? Yes, you read that correct. We went to the Spam museum yesterday with the kids. The furniture buyer told Brandon about it. It was totally free to get in. We went as somewhat of a joke. Let me tell you, no one who worked there was joking around. They…

Yesterday I was torn with a hard decision. Do I, along with all the kids, want to get up at 5:30 am? Or would I rather sleep in and miss the Crayola factory tour. You can see from the picture what I chose. I was rational enough to trade my love of sleep for a…

Every once in awhile something EXTRA chaotic occurs. Let’s take today for example. Brandon was gone all day doing trainings and having meetings. I had all 4 kids by myself obviously. I explained to them I would need instant obedience and good attitudes and cooperation all day, or we wouldn’t be able to do fun…

I’m having a much better day today. Thanks so much to everyone who reached out and encouraged me. I have been tired, but that doesn’t mean I’m not having fun and enjoying my family. I definitely am. I get so excited about life when Caed naps. He’s right at that obnoxious in between stage, where…

We are back on the road again. I feel like I need to be real for a second. I am totally beat. I’m exhausted. I’m a grump. I’m an emotional basket case. Brielle asked me today if I hate being a mom. So that wasn’t my best parenting moment. Joah chimes in and said “Brielle…

We are on our way home. We had such a great time in Utah. It’s one of my favorite places. Everywhere you go, you can’t escape from the mountains. It’s beautiful. The kids have made several friends in Utah. Gunnar and Logan are very sweet boys. They get along so well with my kids.  Brielle…

Brandon has been busy this week doing store training and having sales meetings, while the rest of us have been parked at his cousin’s house. His cousin is married and they live with her parents. They all run a family business together in Utah. They have full RV hookup right at their place. My kids…

Unfortunately our Gascho vacation has come to an end. We had a great last day yesterday. Brandon and I and the kids continue on now, and Brandon will work on some store trainings. It’s back to reality now. It’s not that we don’t do anything fun….obviously that’s not true. We do all kinds of stuff…

Yesterday, Thursday, we took the kids to Manitou Cliff Dwelling. My Gascho family, our Yowler family, My aunt Brenda and three of her grandkids went. It was fun to walk around and see. On the drive there, we just had Joah and the baby(she doesn’t really count though because she’s quiet). Basically we had one…

Tuesday morning my parents and Evan joined us for Lance’s senior trip. Lance and Grant and our whole Yowler family had a nice early start to the trip. We were able to take my two youngest brothers to see and experience a lot of things on the way.  It was nice having them along. They…
