I decided to start blogging for several reason. First I live in Montana where its too cold to get out, special with 4 kids and the youngest is only 14 months. Second I really have nothing else to do. Three Im hoping that someone reading this can relate. Other than that Im hoping to have fun and inspire.
I will warn you with 4 kids and helping my husband on the family farm it might be hard to keep up with it, but I shall do my best.
So far nothing has happen thats too funny, other than our trip to the store for 2 things, as I and 3 of the kids are walking through the store I find my 2 items and hurry to the check out, I mean burrrrr it is cold out there and I want to get home back to the heat. Well 2 things with 3 kids turned into 10 things, holy cow how did they mange that. Kelby my 14month was throwning stuff from the cart. The corn was rolling down the isle, and my girls, they must have just been grabing and running. Anyway after my $5.00 worth of groceries turned into $35.00, I decided that grocery shopping with the 3 younge kids this time of year is a joke.
Has mothers we have probably all gone through it, founding more in the grocery cart than expected.
Times are tough here for us, so coming up with the $35.00 was a job, but I did it and now the kids are enjoying sugar.
As you read my blog you will learn that we are poor farmers, struggling to make ends meet.
I am a stay at home mom, to Kieron he is 11 years old, Rylee shes 6 years old, Aubree is 5 years old, and then theres Kelby 14 months old. I have been married to a wonderful man for 13 years and still counting. Will works a day job and then works the family farm at night. It makes for some long days and nights, but somehow he gets it all done.
Our kids keep us busy, very busy, with every sport know. Kieron does hunting, fishing, football, wrestling, swim team, and active in 4-H. He is a kind loving, giving child, that will melt your hearts, he loves his sisters (ok well maybe sometimes he does), but he strives to be good at everything he does.
Rylee is a swimmer, dancer, plays soccer, and is active in 4-H. I will prbably talk more about her. She did a great thing this year but inspiring other to give. She held a lemonade stand to raise money to give to the Chouteau County Shop with a Sheriff program. She also got her 4-H club to hold a fund raiser, and then she did a bake sale. In total she raised over $600.00. There was enough money to take 19 kids shopping, take them out to lunch, and then get them their christmas dinner. Walmart agreed to give $500.00 to the program. Other people saw her hard work and started to donate money to the program. All this from a 6 year old little girl, who own family is struggling wow!!
Aubree my 5 year old, does swim team, soccer, dance and well she is a ball of fire. She is in preschool now and runns the class. She is older and wiser so they all follow her, I will have to make sure that she uses her power for good.
Kelby my 14 month old, well lets just say that staying up with him is a race. He goes all the time, the little guy never stops, he is like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going and going. Im so glad that he takes 3 hour naps though.
Well welcome to our life, our story, our struggles, and to montana living.
