Life as a Yowler

I attended MOPS this morning and my friend, Rachel, spoke about healthy eating and taking good care of our bodies. She stressed the importance of feeding and nourishing our family and making good choices. Now those of you who know Brandon and I well know that we have a slight area of tension in our…

The average person has a tough time being stormed in and cooped up inside all weekend. The mom of 4 Yowler kids with only one of four unable to move, really has a tough time. These kids’ energy is just out of this world. If they have no outdoor time to get their craziness out,…

Edited: I decided to repost this blog post from awhile ago. Rather then put together another series of pictures that show the motor home, I figured I would do this instead. I had a couple people ask for pictures of storage.We made a family decision to trade in our old RV for a new one.…

Do you parents ever feel like you never get anything done other than cleaning up your kid’s messes all day? Today I really did have lots of things I needed to get done. Unpacking, laundry, vacumming, scrubbing toilets, and dishes were on my list. My kids never eat breakfast right away when they wake up.…

We are thankful to be almost home. There have been a few bumps along the way. Traffic was horrible all the way to Atlanta. Lots of people were traveling home after Spring Break. There was also a bad accident with a car on fire. There was standstill traffic for awhile. When we finally got on…

Today was our final morning in Florida. Joah especially is ready to get home. We went with the YFC group to Aquatica Water park this morning. We stayed 3.5 hours then left before the rest of the group. We wanted to start driving home, because we only have 1 driver. It was the perfect amount…

Its hard to believe this week is coming to an end, and along with that our trip is coming to an end. We will have been gone 45 days by the time we get back to Michigan. Joah had a little meltdown tonight. He was crying and lashing out because he wanted to go home.…

Yesterday was another beach day at YFC camp. Caed still was hesitant to go in the ocean. He played the entire time with sand toys and buckets. I’ve made up my mind when I get home to make one of those sensory sand boxes for him. It will occupy him for hours. Brielle loves the…

We went to Busch Gardens today. I don’t remember the park being so big. The last time we went was two years ago. Our kids were too little to do much, so we mostly hung out in Sesame Street Land. This time the kids were older and taller and able to do a lot. We…

We had a beach day today. It was exhausting but a lot of fun. Joah really mastered boogie boarding. The waves were really big today, but he didn’t give up. He also didn’t care that the waves kept knocking his pants down while he was boogie boarding. Brielle gave a great effort to learn. The waves…
