Where the Fukhaui?

 

We're a pretty unpredictable family, in fact the most common question we get asked is "Where are you now?". Hello, we're Joe, Vicki, Jacob(10), Jonas(8) and Jewel(6) and we are campaholics that live in an old school bus. We began a life on the road nine years ago after walking away from a conventional suburban life, in search of a better one. Instead of power lunches, rush hour, and longing for the weekends we now enjoy lazy road side picnics, scenic drives and crowdless weekday adventures.

No schools, no rules, no alarm clocks....Welcome to my life..

Joey and I are sitting on the couch, with Jonas on his lap.

Jonas: "I love you two"

Me: "We love you too, Jonas! We're so lucky to have you for a kid"

Jonas: "I said I love You Tube"

A Whole Lot of Nothing

I've learned something about myself....I learned that the amount I blog is directly related to how happy I am with my latest photos. It's not enough to just tell you about our trip to Lake Powell last week, or about what an amazing place Goblin Valley State Park is. If I don't have a good enough picture to post, I don't even want to talk about it.

***********************************************************

I didn't get a picture of Jonas' ear split open after his earring tore it into fish lips, so I won't even bother to write about how one of my biggest fears for the kids in getting earrings, actually came true, and everyone was totally freaked out...except the person who lost his favorite Pirates of the Caribbean earring....and didn't even feel it rip his ear open.

A picture couldn't even convey the feelings I have for my boy that saw me sitting outside, relaxing in the outdoor recliner....shivering, when his little hand reached out the bus window to hand me a warm sweatshirt.

***********************************************************

My kids don't text or IM anyone, yet when they're playing video games they keep screaming out "OMG".

Jonas is still a vegetarian and has been for almost nine full months. He had his little sister converted for a bit, but she couldn't give up hamburgers. Now she's part vegetarian and part meat eater, according to her.

***********************************************************

One of my photos has been requested for use in a book....by a graphic design firm that worked for Al Gore on An Inconvenient Truth, and now I need to figure out what accreditation I want. Why am I having a hard time with this?
