Day Two

Here we are at the campsite in Montana! It was a cold morning but once the sun was up it warmed up really fast.

























































Enjoying a cinnamon roll (or as Anastasia called it, a "cookie")














Antelope out in a field!














Someone was following me like the whole trip.














The kids in the back, watching a movie.
























































We saw a LOT of motorcycles, starting this day and through the end of the trip.






































































We came through Wyoming as the sun was setting and we stopped at a Pizza Hut for some carryout, since we knew we'd be too late to the campsite for dinner. It's a good thing too, since we didn't get in until about 11pm. The site was very nice though, and the night was so warm that we left the rain fly off the tent and didn't even need long sleeved pj's. Our camp this night was South Dakota, 3 miles from Mt. Rushmore. Pictures of Day 3 coming soon!

Day One

Hooray for internet!
This will be the first of several installments of our moving trip...this is Day One.
Here are some of the rooms of our house, emptied out as we moved out...









































(Here you can see that Matthew had started moving in)




















Bye house!! We'll miss you!!














Heading out of Spokane














In the U-Haul














I *think* this was Lookout pass? Or maybe 4th of July.














At a rest stop outside Missoula for lunch.


















Close to the rest stop was a pretty creek, where we walked down to have noonday :-)


















Okay, Montana lasts forever...but it is beautiful!














Sun setting as we finally drew close to our camp for the night.














We got there at dusk and set up camp, getting the tent up and making a late dinner in the dark. Many thanks to Forrest, Hilary and Ford for all their help in making that happen and most of all for putting up with my attitude that night! The campsite was pretty, in the mountains in Montana, right near a creek. The night was co-o-old and although the boys were going to sleep in the pup tent, we decided it would be better to all huddle in the one big tent. The stars were absolutely BREATHTAKING and there was a meteor shower going on too, so we got to see several shooting stars! It was a fun adventure.

We've Arrived!!

We are borrowing internet from a neighbor so we will do a big picture update on Friday after ours is setup.

Time is flying by! We're close to ready, going in the morning to pick up our U-haul and then will have tomorrow and Tuesday to fill it. God has abundantly blessed us; we are just so thankful and amazed at His faithful provision, and at the generosity of His people! We have been blessed with many gifts from our friends and our church family. We're very excited about our trip!

Here are some pictures from the last few days:

Long time no post!

Well this drought ends today!! Things are hovering between Super-busy and Hectic these days in the Tucker household with sorting, packing, doctor visits for my neck/shoulder, and life! so here is a beginning of a picture re-cap (in no particular order as usual) of the last month or so...enjoy :-)

Dog-pile on Uncle Freeman!

Just being my cool self :-P

Sweet Serenity :-)

Even Spiderman has to eat!

Fun with UncFode (Anastasia's name for him)

Auntie Hannah with her adoring nieces

Uncle Freeman reading a story


We got to celebrate our niece Berry's birthday with her for the first time ever!

Aunt Rebekah's cake is good to the last crumb!

Happy Birthday Ford!

Noelle took a picture of the 16 year old, it seems like it can't have been that long ago that I was 15 and Ford was 1! We were moving out of our house in Priest River on his birthday and the only way to keep him from crying was to sing Happy Birthday to him :-)

Rebekah's homemade Mocha Cheesecake. Ford wanted Beef pot pie for dinner, so we told the kids to finish their pie so they could have cake!

Anastasia enjoying some Gramma tickles

The crowd, 23 people and that is with the Enloes and Doves not present :-)

Noelle sacked out while Timothy read a story!
