Camping with the KuhlDaddy

When we moved and after not seeing Bryan for two months, we got to see him the first weekend we were here. Two days is just not enough, especially when there are 5 children and 1 KuhlMama fighting for his attention.  He waited 3 more weeks to come back to Minnesota, BUT he took 10 days off!!!  Wooo-hooo.  We went camping, four-wheeling, shopping, and generally just played around and enjoyed each others company. Again, the pictures will tell part of the story.

 

Girls, girls, and more girls...5 of them to be exact (Plus the 2 Kuhlmamas)

Can you even begin to imagine the chaos if more than one of the girls went to an institutionalized school?! They are having so much fun doing hair and nails and dressing up!  I'll let the pictures talk for me. ;o)

Yup...We have lots of FUN!!!!!

Seriously? It's been this long?!

Well, a lot (and I mean a LOT) has happened since my last post. Bryan moved to Montana for work; Mike and Lori closed in their garage and made a bedroom out of it so the kids and I could move in with them; I made a trip from Alabama to Minnesota with 5 kids (PJ opted to stay with Chuck), a rental trailer, and a dog the end of August!  We've been busy.

Bryan is working for a company in Sidney, Montana, and doing great. He's the shop foreman, mechanic (until they hire someone to help), and the Safety Supervisor. He's enjoying his work, but missing his family...

The kids and I are staying in Hackensack, Minnesota, with Bryan's brother and his family.  Seven kids and three adults under one roof!  You would think it would be "rough and tough". However, we are getting along grandly.

The kids are doing great.  They are enjoying having time with cousins.  We've gone to movies, camping, four-wheeling, shopping, (and going to see and ride horses this afternoon!)

School is going great.  Shelby got her new math book last week and is having a great time with it. The Charlotte Mason approach to teaching is amazing!!!! Who new that math could be a living subject?!

We've seen bald eagles, deer, raccoons (while camping), and other assorted wildlife.  All seven of the kids took a class at the local school and made T-shirts while learning about the local wildlife. I think they had a good time.

  Mike will be taking the boys out to Montana next weekend for a hunting trip and Bryan is going to meet up with them Friday night after work.  A boy's hunting weekend trip! How fun!  The girls' are all going to Grandma Cathy's for a girls weekend...nail painting, baking, s'mores, girlie movies, etc.! My camera will be busy.
