RVing IT! First BIG TRIP!

The Captain started out our first big journey with a prayer with all of us holding hands, praying that we would have a safe journey..LOVE HIM!

I packed the RV while he was away at work and we literally left about 3 hours after he got home after being gone a week. I KNOW he was exhausted.

We got about a mile down the road and WyWy had to potty.

Next thing we know, he's yelling

"THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE!!!!"

I run back to the bathroom to find out HE WAS RIGHT!

There was a "flowing leak" coming out of the line running into the toilet.

The Captain navigated BACKWARDS the ENTIRE MILE to our house,

ran in, got some tools and temporarily stopped the leak.

9 PEOPLE AND A BROKEN TOILEY-NOT EXACTLY IDEAL RIGHT?

We were on our way AGAIN!

Baby Bakers was cranky so I was laying back in the bedroom when ???? The RV stopped again????

We were AGAIN back in our driveway...

The Captain forgot to shut the garage door-POOR GUY!

Needless to say, we arrived at my parents about 11pm and all kids were asleep!

DAY 1-Tuesday

The next morning The Captain had his flight physical in Kansas City.

An intense "physical" he must endure every 6 months to "keep on flying".

We enjoyed breakfast in the RV and lots of love and conversations from Grandma and Papa! AND THANKFUL we could use their toilet!!

The big kids did their school work in the driveway (LOVE IT)!

While the little ones enjoyed some LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE!

We even baked cookies ready for The Captain when he got back!

When he returned, we found a place to fix the RV, we left my parents & headed out & GUESS WHAT? they did NOT have the part needed to fix it!!

SO...They rigged the toilet so we could use it until the next day when the part came in.

We headed on to The Captains sisters house in Missouri where she graciously had KC BBQ waiting for us!

The kids and I had studied about Missouri and this is one thing KC is famous for so I thought it was an awesome idea to give the kids some LEGIT BBQ!

YUMMY!!!

We ate our BBQ, played with Aunt B's dogs and settled in the RV for the night.

DAY 2-Wednesday

We said goodbye to Aunt B as she went off to work.

We showered the kids in the RV while waiting for word on the part to come in for the potty. Finally got the call and got it fixed in about 15 minutes and we were OFF AGAIN!!

NEXT STOP, SAINT LOUIE!!!

We made it to my friend Jen's house BEHIND SCHEDULE because of the potty problem. Twas QUITE fun getting the BIG RIG in her driveway. I think The Captain literally had 6 inches on the left side to spare.

We were ALL so happy to reunite! We hadn't seen each other since August!

Jen had a FABULOUS dinner prepared for us!

All 14 kids ran around and played until LATE!

DAY 3-Thursday

Jen made chocolate chip pancakes for the whole crew the next morning.

We enjoyed coffee talk and hanging out until late morning.

Then it was time to say good bye!

Jen and I had to STOP TRAFFIC (in our jammies) on her busy road to get the BIG RIG out of her driveway-FUN MEMORIES were made this trip!

It was God & our embryo adoptions that brought us together & our families will remain life long friends!

It will be so good for these 3 to have each other to talk to about their unique birth stories as they grow up.

3 sweet girls, once frozen in time, now living, breathing angels!!

The kids thought it was AWESOME to see the Arch!

We eventually got dressed ate lunch and were on our way to my sisters in INDY! I even took a SHOWER GOING DOWN I-70! Have I mentioned that this RV makes things SO CONVENIENT???

My birth sister who I have grown to LOVE SO MUCH after knowing her 15 years. It seems like a LIFETIME. We were SO EXCITED for our kids to FINALLY meet each other!

She had a WONDERFUL dinner prepared for the whole tribe!

I LOVE seeing all our kids together!

Days 4-6 Friday-Sunday

Friday morning we went out for a spin in the RV :)

Her kids really enjoyed it. She showed us around her town and then we ended up at a BOUNCE HOUSE!

The kids bounced for a couple hours and had a blast!

We got back to her house and my other sister and sister-in-law arrived from Chicago with their kiddos and my soon to be Brother in law.

Here is The Capatain with my soon to be BIL who let me just say, CAN COOK FOR ME ANYTIME!

The dinner was TO.DIE.FOR.

Me, My 2 birth sisters and my SIL with my neice! 

I feel BEYOND BLESSED to have my sisters in my life.

I love them so much.

I am so thankful that my birth mom always told them the truth about me.

So that one day we would be reunited!

Thank you Lord for these relationships I never knew I would have. 

Sisters...so surreal..so wonderful.

13 of my birthmothers 15 grandkids!

FINALLY TOGETHER!

We had meals together, dance parties and just enjoyed each other.

It was a Bittersweet and TEARFUL goodbye for me..

SO HAPPY we will see each other again in June and September!

I missed them before we pulled out of the drive.

Let me just say that THIS RV IS THE BEST INVESTMENT WE COULD HAVE EVER MADE!! OH the memories we have made already and will continue to make with our children-TOILET AND ALL!!

NEXT STOP..

THE BEACH..

DESTIN FLORIDA!

First Overnight RV trip!

We all gathered round the U.S. map before taking off on our first overnight.

This rig has already been to 3 states and we added 2 more this trip.

Nebraska & Iowa.

EVERY place we go, we WILL LEARN HISTORY about the state!

The capitals, state flowers, birds, etc... SO FUN!

Getting ready to pull out of the farm...

Aw-Bells favorite spot...the top bunk!

Altough she was afraid to actually sleep there...

I found PLENTY of DOLLAR STORE items "to do" on the way!

coloring, word searches, magna doodles, beatin the tar out of one another  and the like.

Twas a short 3 hr drive to our overnight digs...

NO, we did not lock up the younguns and try to win our MIL..

Though the thought crossed my mind..

We did not stay here because we are "of the gamblin type" We stayed here because the purpose of our trip was to get something fixed on the RV and this was the closest park to the RV DOCTOR.

It was SO COOL because we pulled in our little spot, payed our $15, plugged in to the electric, closed all the blinds and it was like we were right at home (minus about 5500 square feet LOL)

I commenced to getting in my jammies & cooking salmon and pasta!

(my apologies for the 6 month preggo look)

All the kids ate all their supper..

Got settled in their beds, watched a movie and went to sleep.

It was SO MUCH FUN!

The next day, it only took them about 30 minutes to fix the minor problem with the stairs on the RV and we were OFF!

The Captain even talked me into driving..

for about 2 straight minutes and I was DONE!
It was SCARY!

We made one small stop on the way home to get a dress for MyMy's violin recital.

Next thing we knew, we were in a blizzard in Nebraska...

The Captain handled it VERY SMOOTHLY all the way home.

I was praying all the way.

We survived our first overnight trip all in one piece!

The only regret was COMING HOME!

NEXT STOPS..

Lee's Summit, MO

Saint Louis, MO

Indianapolis, IN 

MEETING THE DUGGARS and Our New 2nd Home!

WOWZERS we've been busy!

We started out last week right when The Captain got home, BACK on an airplane! It was Bakers FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE!!

The Captain REALLY wanted to fly her on her first flight BUT it was not meant to be.

The 3 of us headed from MCI to DFW..

The girls stayed with my parents and the boys stayed with MY DEAR BRAVE FRIEND!

We flew down to pick up and drive back....

OUR NEW SECOND HOME!

We feel blessed beyond measure to be able to have this RV.

We are a family who LOVES TO TRAVEL!!!

The Captain and I both grew up traveling ALL OVER and we want the same life experiences for our kiddos!

It is getting more and more difficult for us to "get around" with 7 kids. We have talked, prayed and mulled over this decision for a LONG TIME and are thrilled  that God has allowed us to have this experience.

We got there on THE COLDEST DAY IN TEXAS HISTORY!

We stayed the night there in our new RV and drove back the next morning!

2 Days later, we took our TRIAL RUN first trip to see THE DUGGARS!!

Who were doing a benefit for The Lawrence Crisis Pregnancy Center.

They made NO MONEY off of their appearance and paid their own way to Kansas.

The kids were SO EXCITED!

Our Captain can DRIVE ANYTHING!

Airplane, Tractor, Harley and now our own CLARK GRISWOLD at the RV WHEEL!

Girls in their bunks!

We drove a couple hours, I fixed lunch on the way and the time FINALLY CAME!

It was VERY SURREAL to actually get to meet and chat with the entire Duggar Family. We bought tickets for the smaller "meet and greet" of about 100 people.

SO WORTH IT!

Then we joined 700 others to hear them speak further and hear the kids, sing and play their instruments! AWESOMENESS!

It was truly LIFE CHANGING for The Captain and I.

We stayed up late into the night chatting about what a wonderful Christ filled family we experienced and how we would like to strive to be more like them.

They were even more precious, kind and gracious in person than they are on TV.  We are SO THANKFUL for the opportunity we had to meet this incredible family! They gave GREAT advice on parenting and marraige.

One of the things Michelle said that REALLY stuck out in my head was...

"We must PRAISE our children TEN TIMES MORE that we correct them."

WOW! That was DEEP! I have REALLY been trying to do this since we returned home.

Now, WHO KNOWS, we may just be BRINGING OUR SECOND HOME TO MEET YOU!!

Any IDEAS FOR A NAME FOR OUR NEW RIG???
