Last week has been pretty awesome. We started the week by seeing some awesome friends(OurLoudFamily.com)! We hung out with them most of the day, and went rock climbing! It was pretty awesome, because our family's hardly ever see each other. They had to leave that night, to get to Lehi. That night, my sisters and I stayed at our grandma's house to hang out with her for a while before we leave. It was pretty awesome! We watched a movie, and then went to sleep. The next day, we all went to Ryan's p… Continue

Last month I had my birthday party at the Fun Park. We went bowling and played arcade games. I won at bowling. We were going to go roller skating but it was about to close.So we played games. I won some candy. Then we went back to our house. My cake looked like a bowling alley. We shaped bowling pins and balls. We also made a ball return thing. after cake and ice cream I opened my presents. I had a great birthday!

So, for the last 2 weeks or so, we have been staying at a RV park outside South Logan. While we have been here, we haven't done much. When we lived in a real house, we used to come down here every summer, for about 2 or 3 weeks. When we came down, we usually hung out with all of our family that is here. It's always really cool, and we do a lot of stuff! Most of the time, in the middle of our stay, we would always go up to the farm and have a family reunion. We would do a lot of stuff there, like… Continue

For the last week or something, we have been selling fireworks! But just like everything, nothing went right.

When we arrived, we saw our little black stand just alone in a parking lot. It didn't look that good, but not really bad at all. But then we pulled into the parking lot, and right by our stand, is a storage container for the grocery store. Guess what! It was freshly tagged! That's what scared my mom, because she was afraid our RV being tagged. I thought it would be pretty cool, if it wa… Continue

We went to Timpanogos Cave National Monument in Lehi,Utah. We went to Lehi to see our friends the Allen's. After we left there house we to hike the mile and a half trail to the cave. Timpanogos Cave had two other caves next to it. Those caves are called Hansen Cave and Middle Cave. The first cave we entered was Hansen Cave. It was pretty small and there was a tiny lake in the cave.

Then we went into the Middle Cave. The Middle Cave had a lot of tunnels. My favorite part of the Middle Cave was t… Continue

A couple weeks back, during our crazy drive from Washington, we stopped at Yellowstone, to see all of the cool stuff there! We went up through the west entrance, but right before we went in, we stopped in this small little town, and dropped off our trailer. We knew we had an awesome day ahead, and we were eager to get started! So we grabbed our national parks pass, drove our truck to the gate, and got in the park. We drove about a hundred feet, until we saw our first bison! It was really cool, b… Continue

You ever have good things happen that makes your life harder? Read on my friends to see how confusing my life has been these last two weeks. It is a long read but worth it I think.

This past week I got to watch a short news article about what were called "Hyperactive Moms". Though they talked about moms, they truly talked more about families. Hyperactive Moms is… Continue

One of the fun things we do along the way is looking at all the weird, outrageous or funny signs as you learned in a previous post. Tom Martin was right! Thanks for responding Tom. Of anyone, I knew you would get it, since you drive that route from home.

We saw the sign on I-90 in Montana advertising a local festival. Normally we see things like “Peach Day Festival” or "Pumpkin Festival" or something similar to which makes that town/village unique… I suppose everything else was taken so this wa… Continue
