Busy busy day.

What a day today was. With early release today, instead of the 4 kids I had 10. Luckily they were all very well behaved. It has been really really warm and everyone has enjoyed the sun and getting out. I must say I am not looking forward to winter at all. I dont think it would be so bad if the sun shined all day. It helps a lot. But, for now I will take the heat and enjoy the sun.

Oh the blogging!

It's been an interesting night that's for sure. Who knew blogging and setting up all this stuff could be so complicated. Sheesh. But, I am learning more. After tonight I should be a pro at some of this stuff. Thanks so much Emmy for all your help earlier. There is so much out there. So many tools. It's fun.

Living the dream ;-)

It's been awhile since I have written and recently have had some inspiration to blog again. The summer flew by here in Helena, Mt. June was hectic trying to prepare the house for first time visits by my brother in Va and parents from Pa. July was the moment I have waited for for years. It was so good to see everyone. We took a trip to Yellowstone. Mike got sick and threw up a lot at every pull off in the park :-( The rest of vacation was just spent hangin out. August was the arrival from Justin's mom and grandma. We took a mini vacation up to Glacier. It was a great visit.
Towards the end of August Justin decided he wanted to get a motorcycle for running boat shuttles for fishing. He found an excellent deal with 3 bikes. So...now we are all into dirt biking. I must say it's been awesome. It has taken some practice and lots of laying the bike down. I did that one to many times with Sami on the back and needless to say she doesnt enjoy it much any more. We finally convinced her to drive the kids 4x4 alone and she forgot where to brake and plowed into a man pick up truck costing mom and dad a whopping 425$ in damages. no doubt we did owe this man something for the crash to his door but so hard to swallow when he is living in a campground out of a travel trailer and already crashed his POS truck drunk driving. Oh well. It is what it is and we are all healthy and alive and no ER bills.
we are looking forward to more bike adventures. Thats all for now.
