It Has Been Awhile

So I have decided that I need to be more vigalant on writing on this thing. I know it is a good way for me to document our travels for the kids. So we have been to Cavalier, North Dakota, West Helena, Arkansas, Minden, Louisiana over the past year and we are currently in Elko, Nevada. So I am choosing to skip writing about the past year and try to start with our current travels!!

Elko, Nevada is not a very interesting place except for the beautiful backdrop! The mountains are beautiful here, but there is not a lot of activities for the kids. We are trying to make the best of it despite a rough start. We took off the top of our camper, had reservations at the worst campground in the country, and had to stay in a hotel for a week! Things are looking better now!

We have met some wonderful friends here. Our closest friends here are from Illinois and they have been great. Dawn homeschools her nine year old son, Briar so Hunter has a friend to play with.....EVERYDAY!! No, it is good for him....and me too! Dawn has been a huge social support for me. This job has been hard because it is the furtherest away from home than we have ever been. It makes me sad with the holidays coming up, but I feel like we have met enough friends here to help us through!

I will be posting pictures as soon as I can get them all together!! We miss all of our friends and families very much, but are thankful for our pipeline friends!!

7 Month Update

So.....I can't believe that it has been seven months since I have updated on this blog!! So let me go back to our time in Cinncinnati, OH. The kids loved the Children's Museum in the city. It is a wonderful city, but very cold during the winter!

These pictures are from the Children's Museum and a dinosaur exhibit there.

These are pictures from our daily life in Wilmington, OH. Makayla in gymnastics, Hunter in Karate, Ava in her snowsuit, and Hunter and Makayla with another pipeline family that the kids became friends with.

More will come when I don't have a screaming baby!! Until next time.....

Picture Update

Alright....well my computer is running very slow so I am just going to put pictures on this blog. I will try again tomorrow to see if the service will be better. Hope you enjoy.

This is on our way to Wilmington, Ohio. Do you think our car is packed!?!
This is us at the Cincinnati Zoo for the festival of lights......we just thought that it was cold that night!!

This was our first "snow" after arriving in Wilmington......they refer to this as "dusting."

Ava and dad in the snow.....Nice camper behind them, huh....no really.....the guy is really nice.....he just saved himself ALOT of money and went the cheaper route!

This is Hunter and Shannon playing in the snow!

This is Ava's "boo boo" from falling off of the bed....she is now crawling all over the place and didn't realize that the bed and floor are very far apart.

This was one of our field trips to the Air Force Museum in Dayton. It is really neat! We will have to go back to see the rest of the place. It is HUGE!! Hunter really liked this field trip!

O.K. Well I will try to download some pictures from the kids' camera tomorrow. We hope everyone is doing well and miss you all!!

Alright....so Ava is not letting me get much sleep. I am so sleep deprived right now. I guess I was spoiled with Hunter and Makayla. They never had any issues with sleeping, but Ava...I should have known since she did come out facing the world (she was an OB baby). Well anyway she is not letting me get much sleep.

On to another topic.....I am so glad that Makayla loves playing with Barbies, but do you think that they could have made it a little to put clothes on the things. I am so tired of putting clothes on Barbie!!

Well, there is still snow on the ground with another front coming through tonight or tomorrow. I don't mind it too much, but it does melt....inside the camper. Needless to say we leave a towel by the door to clean up the water.

Until next time...

Where to begin?

Here is the deal....we have had ALOT going on in the past month!! O.K. so now we are in Wilmington, Ohio, which is about 45 minutes northeast of Cinncinati. It is freakin' cold here!! I just realized that I REALLY don't like the cold.
This is probably not going to be a long blog because Ava is crawling everywhere and it is hard to focus in a library with three kids!!
So let me start by saying that we had to move out five years worth of stuff in three weeks while Hunter had the pink eye, then Makayla (in both eyes), and the rain!! Anyway, we got it done!! Although, Shannon had to buy me two cargo storage compartments for my car.....we have alot of stuff!! We didn't finish with the house until 2:00 Christmas Eve and had to be at Shannon's grandmother's two hours away at 6:00. So we left town around 4:00 and on the way up Makayla threw up all over the car and herself!! We were on the side of the road with Makayla naked trying to clean up the car and her......did I mention that it was raining. So obviously when we got to Shannon's grandmother's house, Makayla and I stayed in the car. Shannon brought dinner to me and Makayla's presents to her. We left there and headed toward my sister's house in Starkville. On the way there we heard a thump, thump from the top of my car. I said either Santa just lost some gifts out of his sleigh or we just lost luggage. Sure enough it was the latter. Makayla's bag flew out, her school box, and the top to Hunter's school box!! We recovered Makayla's luggage. We arrived at my sister, Jeanna's, around 11 o'clock, gave Makayla a bath, and sent the kids to sleep for Santa Claus.....only to realize that Santa left half of the kids stuff in Jackson. What a wonderful adventure. Anyway, so we are here in Ohio now and trying to get adjusted to life in the camper again!! I will try to get pictures on here as soon as I figure out the easiest way for us to get on-line. Anyway, we miss everyone very much and love you all!!

A busy month

O.K....I am sorry that I haven't been writing on this thing, but we have been SOOO busy!! We had to pack the house up in a week....except for the things we need on a daily basis. The next week we had to get ready for the moving sale. We managed to sale the Tahoe, four-wheeler, Shannon's welder, and about $260 worth of stuff! I was so relieved to make some money. Last Friday, Shannon got the call to go back to work.......yeah!!! Although we are going to Ohio.....I hear it is cold up there. Although Shannon left yesterday with our snow gear and guess what....it snowed here in Jackson, MS...who would have thought?! Anyway, so things at the Fulgham residence are crazy right now and we are ready to get back to normal.....ironically enough I think that normalcy is in the camper! The kids seem to behave better. The only foreseen trouble is going to be Ava. She doesn't seem to want to sleep if there is anything going on around her.....guess what there will be lots going on around her....not much privacy. Alright.....Shannon took the computer with him so I will try to get on to blog when I get a chance....Hope everyone is doing well and we miss our dear friends in Texas...love you all!

Waiting on Go

Alright....so I have a few minutes to update everyone on what is going on in our lives. Shannon is currently in between jobs. We have decided to rent our house out and take full ownership of life in the camper. We are currently packing up our house, which is not much fun with three kids. My sister-in-law has a house in Bogue Chitto that is not being occupied. Shannon and I have decided to move our stuff down there after renovations.

The kids are doing great in school.......although I will enjoy the week off next week.

We have enjoyed being home for awhile.....maybe too much. Ava is becoming increasing spoiled. She wants to be rocked to sleep......yeah, we don't have a rocker in the camper. Speaking of, I am ready to start traveling again! I miss the simplistic life on the road. I believe that me and the kids are going to wait until after Christmas before we go anywhere. There is just so much to do and it is very costly for just a few weeks worth of traveling. Anyway, until something interesting happens...hope all is well....and for this blog....I miss my friends in Texas!

This is Ava wanting to grab my brother's bird. She was really facinated by it!!
