I don’t know who replaced my baby with this big kid but 😭. We are loving this age, he’s turned a huge corner from years of screaming and no sleep. I can’t call him easy but life is getting easier. He packed his own backpack yesterday, demanded his hat and even dressed himself. We figured out at the end of the day he was commando by choice. 🤣 Funny story: a few weeks ago he dressed himself in all blue and I told him he looked like a giant blueberry. A few days ago I was walking in to Whole Foods with he and Jude. Z and Jude were both dressed in blue and he announced they both looked like […]

Adventure! After putting Zachary and Jonah to bed I decided to take Taryn and Jude out to see the Neowise comet. Our campground sits down in a valley so we tried to drive up the road about 5 minutes. We still couldn’t see it so we drove a bit further and a bit bit further still. Soon it was pitch black with nowhere to turn a big dually around. My ptsd makes it hard for me to drive in the dark and it’s something I almost never do. I was in way over my head and near tears when we finally found a rest area to turn around. As we pulled in […]

Started our evening of adventure by driving over to Jackson Hole for some picnic provisions. We stopped at the town square for a photo at the antler arches – I really regretted not stopping the last time we came through.

Idaho might just be America’s best kept secret. Goodness it’s gorgeous here. Not a single potato in sight 🤣 Have you been to Idaho? Did it surprise you?

Visiting the real school from High School Musical

Go Wildcats! Jude loves High School Musical and we knew we had to stop at the school where they film. They usually do tours but they aren’t running due to Covid. He didn’t care, he was totally giddy just to see the outside and sit on the same bench as Troy and Gabriella. The funny part is that this will probably be the only photo of Jude that I have outside a public school. 😂 This kid loves roadschool learning so much, I can’t imagine him in public. But I’m super thankful for the movie that inspired him to learn guitar. I lost track how many times he watched this movie series during […]

Today we celebrated the sweetest of little 4th of July celebrations in the sweetest of little towns. This place has definitely landed on our short *we might want to live here someday* list. In a world that feels closed down we were so thankful to land here for this celebration.
