Creating Chaos With The Cole's

08/11/2025

River fun is always the best at Uncle Matt's. RV was all set up in time last night for an awesome picture. The kids are having a blast in Florida.

Made it to Dothan, AL tonight. Looking forward to being in Florida tomorrow.

Earlier today we were miraculously not involved in an accident. It is only by God's grace we dis not hit the cars in front nor get hit from behind in the chaos of it all.

The Lord was gracious to us.

Hoping to close on the house soon so we can move on to the next adventure.

Today we are bowling as part of the Kids Bowl Free program.

The kids have all been at camps over the last few weeks in WI and now here in MO. We are closing on the house in a little over a week and I have been getting the RV ready to go.

Over our last couple of travels and back in MO we have had some repairs made to both the RV and pick up and changed batteries in both the RV and truck. We have also learned how to set up and unhook the truck from RV on our own timely without issues.

When we took Dallas Cole back up to MT the middle of June I learned it is possible to back up an RV 1/2 to 3/4 miles on a narrow dirt road in the middle of a farm field.

Next adventure is for me to install an On Demand Water Heater in the RV later this week before closing on house and heading out in August.

Canaan loves the show American Ninja Warrior and when he heard one of the ninjas family owns and RV park, he wants us to go there sometime.

We are looking forward to the new RV adventure and can't wait to see what is next.

Its hard to believe we have been in WI for a week now with another 5 days to go. Sarah enjoyed being at Youth camp this week and I discovered Sarah is I am not going to give mom a hug in front of people years old. 😂 Amelia and Canaan are excited to go to camp today.

Next, we head back to MO for more camps before heading back out. Not completely sure where just yet.

The RV park we are staying at has a pool, a game room, and playground the kids have loved. Even more they have loved being able to do these activities without me having to be with them. They have been good about checking in with me and coming back on time. I can't believe they are that old. Where has the time gone. I remember the chaos of when they were 1,3, and 5 wondering if I would ever get my sanity back, lol. Man, that seems like yesterday. Alysha Joy was always great at helping me with her siblings.

I am adjusting to living in the RV and learning daily how things work and it running efficiently.
Organizing everything getting it ready for it to be our full time living. I am really looking forward to this year homeschooling as we travel and the kids seeing the country. Sarah has been a big help changing out the battery in the RV when she got back from camp.

Dallas Cole has been helping us from afar find places for us to stay, navigation, and describing to me what tool I need to use 🤔. He tracks us while I am driving and will call me and tell me the best places to stop for gas and such because he knows the roads.

This last month in the RV God has really shown me His goodness. Through all the little bumps in the road, He has shown His provision. He has taken care of us when we have had things come up and has reminded me of the verse Jeremiah 33:3 that was a camp verse one year in my teens and I learned a song for it. Jeremiah writes here "Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you great unsearchable things you do not know.

Our family is going through something right now that has devasted me. I thought losing a baby was shattering, but these past 8 weeks even more so. I have been trying to figure out how to fix it and have been reminded the importance of this verse. So, with renewed hope, I will continue to call to God and allow Him to work things out in His time.

We hope to close on the house end of July and I can't wait to continue this journey God is taking us on. Its a little bittersweet leaving part of my heart in MO as Alysha begins her own journey. I miss her more than she knows.

We wound up staying in MT and little longer than expected. We found this National Park on way back to MO. Sarah especially could not get over how beautiful it all is.

It's been a while since my last post here. Not because it hasn't been chaotic, but just a little too chaotic.

Dallas recently took a job in MT. We are in the process of selling the house before the kids and I hit the road in the RV to see the country and homeschool this year.

Friends of ours have began church planting in MT and we are hoping to join with them and help as God leads.

Alysha Joy has decided to stay in MO and decide where the Lord is leading her next while she enjoys another year at Six Flags being a Lead in Guest Relations. I will miss her deeply, but the Lord has a plan for her.

For our MO friends we plan on being around for Association camp during July and around in Oct and November some for archery.

For friends near and far, I am looking forward to meeting up and catching up as we travel near you.

Mom is coming with us. It may be a challenge but I am excited for the memories my kids will have with their grandma and hope it helps grow servant hearts within them.

Spring and Pepper (our dogs) are joining us for the first time. They did okay their first day in the RV.

This new chapter is bitter sweet. It was hard for us all as we say goodbye to the house the kids have grown up in. We know the Lord is guiding our steps and we are excited to see where He leads next.

In today's installment of Creating Chaos with the Cole's Amelia took center stage so to speak.

What do you do when you have company coming over during lunch time?
Have your 9 year old earn her cooking patch.

Amelia was up at 7 baking cookies, then salad, and prepared a tater tot casserole for lunch.

It was a big hit enjoyed by all.

Canaan decided he is ready for Jesus to come back because he wants to know if he will be a kid there and if Heaven has things for kids to do.

Although the day was a bit hectic over seeing Amelia cook and bake and not jumping in, I love these type of days.

I hope my kids look back on these days with the same fondness I do.

In today's installment of Creating Chaos with the Cole's the kids trying on their pioneer times costumes turned into Amelia deciding one of our kittens needed a costume as well.

Teddy was a trooper as Amelia took an unmatched fluffy sock to make him a camel costume complete with a Santa hat. 🤣🤣

This was our first trip to Meramec State Park September 5-6, 2023.
