Our Family Updates
back in our original neck of the woods
We’ve been back in our original neck of the woods for the last week and it has been so much fun! It’s weird being “home” with no house to go to.
Right when you think Idaho may not have much to offer, it delivers.

Dropping perfectionism like it’s hot. 😎
First time visiting Utah! Stayed in an Airbnb close to some amazing friends so we could stay up late visiting/eating cookies 😋, catch up on laundry, and Kylan could work work work.
Missing Pickleball Heaven rn
Last week was Pickleball heaven. The @usapickleballnationals is what brought us to Palm Springs, and we had a blast watching some of our favorite players out on championship court.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever been.” -Kylan Johnson
This is the happiest I’ve ever been too. Like consistently happy. Feels good. Thank you, Jesus.
Truck Problems #1
Kylan hitchhiked in the back of a construction truck to the nearest auto parts store, downloaded a YouTube vid his brother sent, skateboarded all the way back to us, fixed the problem, and we’re finally back on the road right before sunset!
Palm Springs was a blast.
Palm Springs was a blast. Thousand Trails RV resort, USA Pickleball National Championships, lots of swimming and relaxing. 👌💕 Now headed to the Grand Canyon. 😍🎉
The kids are growing - Another cheesy post, you’re welcome
We’ve been in Palm Springs at a @thousandtrails RV resort for the last week (we’ll be here for another 5 days). And it has been a blast! We’ve been swimming multiple times a day, doing crafts at the rec lodge, exploring Palm Springs, and attending the Pickleball National Championship.
Dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!
Earlier today, our trailer/house was messy, so frustration began to set in. Then I took a deep breath, walked outside, and thought, “dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!”
BEST HALLOWEEN!
We wound up checking in, last minute, to this Thousand Trails park and have been blown away with the friendly neighbors, fun activities, and nice facilities.
I just love this dude.
I just love this dude. I’m over here learning how to let go of pointless stress. He’s over here living every moment to the fullest. I’m like, “so... what’s the next plan? Do you need to go find internet to work? Today isn’t going how I imagined it.
Visiting Grandparents at a Dirt Resort
We just spent some time with Kylan’s Grandparents in a tiny town near Quartzsite, AZ (They’re snowbirds who migrate toward the heat when things get chilly up north!).
The Real London Bridge!!
Last night while Kylan was at Home Depot buying the board to make Miles’ “bunkbed”, an employee mentioned that we needed to check out the London Bridge
The grand tour!!!! 🤪
The only thing I forgot to mention is that Briar and Maverick share the dinette as a bed. It works for now! We will definitely need a bigger trailer, but this is a great start!
Parked in a deserted lot behind a Starbucks for 4+ hours
Last Saturday, Kylan had a lot of work to catch up on, so we parked in a deserted lot behind a Starbucks for 4+ hours. The kids and I took a nap, played in the dirt lot (steering clear of broken glass in some spots), and ate some snacks.
Indian Cove Campground at Joshua Tree National Park left us in awe
We had an incredible time there and highly recommend it this time of year (75 and perfect the entire time)
Our Sweet Little Space We Now Call Home
I just have to document this sweet little space we now call home (until we upgrade to a bigger trailer. We definitely need one).
We just left Pinnacles National Park in California.
A family of four pulled up to the site next to us. They had two boys (6 and 4) and instantly connected with our kids.
Hitting the Road
Here’s the story: A few weeks ago, I was about to order some furniture for our new rental, when I saw a friend on my Facebook share photos of a remodeled van a family was about to live out of.
