Last but not least

My mother emailed myself and my siblings that none of us are blogging lately.  My brother and sister promptly blogged.  I, well, I was not as quick on the draw.  Let's just say I have been busy.  Busy working.  Busy driving 4 kids to school and various after school activities.  Busy taking multiple other children to activities and school.  Cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and being the all over coordinator and executor of daily life here in the Bell household.  With that being said...I have carved out some time for blogging.

I believe I will just catch you up...
When I look back at previous blogs, it looks like I catch up often.
I'll backtrack to our trip back to Alaska.  This part of the drive always amazes me.  Here we are driving through Montana and the wind farms.  They are like gentle giants roaming the earth.  The sound as they turn is mesmerizing and comforting.


Here we are at the Alberta visitors center.  Unfortunately, there was a T-Rex and it chased the kids.  We did manage to leave with all kids in and all their body parts still attached.
 I do love traveling through Alberta.  Canola fields are BEAUTIFUL!  This picture does not do the vibrant yellow justice in the field.

 This is the highest point on the drive through Canada.  What a beautiful day and view.


Yes, more bison.  Here we have a fairly large herd.  So cool.


We believe this is the main daddy of the group.  Nature is amazing.  God is so good.


Famous sign forest in Watson Lake.



Pictures from our front yard.  This is a cow and a bull.  Nope, not legal and it was hunting season when they came to visit.  But, how sweet their connection.


I finally was able to finish some home projects as well.
Here are the rulers I have been collecting and the picture are Queen Ann's Lace I brought back from Missouri.

Of course it is blueberry picking time.  Or was a few weeks ago.
This year we brought Brad along.

Baby O was not particularly happy to be there at first.


But, then she warmed up.


All my boys looking at a "supposed" bear.  It wasn't.  Luckily.


Just a view from where we were blueberry picking.

This is close to caught up.
I'll be better at blogging.
Later...
