Could We Handle Any More?


Man could we handle more stuff right now? I'm not sure that we actually could but of course we will get through it like everything else.

Before we left for Colorado and when we got back Hubby worked his butt off trying to get progress done on the tiny house. I'm proud to say that we finally have electric and plumbing throughout our tiny house. Except for the boys room because it's still full of cabinets that we have to get moved out of there when it comes time to install them. He was actually even able to get half of the insulation up as well.


Isn't our tiny bathtub awesome! 

Progress made right? We should be so happy! Well we were. Then we came to the realization that paying full rent and finishing the tiny house was not going to happen in time for Baby Girl to arrive. So what's the next step? That's what we had to decide.

I know it's not pretty but it isn't really that bad. 
It was cheap which we needed and Hubby is able to fix all the problems with it before 
we move in and it will actually be pretty nice inside once we get done with it.

This is what we decided. This is going to be our new home for hopefully just a few months. We are currently staying on property of friends of ours. They have graciously welcomed us to stay on their property without paying rent but only helping with the regular bills that will go up with an extra family living there. Without these friends I'm not sure what we would be doing. I know it would add months to our move in timeline for sure.

So here's a revised version of our plan to move into the tiny house and onto our property. We are currently working towards getting our property set up to move the RV to. We need a power source weather it is through a company or solar. We also need to have a pump for our well. It will either be a solar pump with a tank or an electric pump, depending on our power route. All these decisions all come down to money. Isn't that how so many decisions are made?

We plan to work on the property and tiny house every weekend that we can between now and when Baby Girl arrives in hopes to be done before she makes her appearance. The plan for now is to keep the RV parked where it is until the tiny house is ready to move into.

This is going to be quite the adventure! It's not going to be easy and Hubby is going to be working tirelessly until we are moved in! Of course the boys and I are going to help as much as we can.

The best thing about all this...our tiny house will feel HUGE when we finally get to move into it! It's all about perspective right?

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
