update on our life

Update time again We finished up in texas after we were at the grand canyon and were done mid September. It was blazing hot in texas and I was finally ready to come home for a little. Our air conditioner could not keep up. Had a month off at home. Took a week to get caught up on sleep and then we had a cousins wedding here to go to and then went to Canada for a visit. Spent lots of time at home with my mom. Not sure who enjoyed it more Grandma or the kids. Then we got home with just 2 weeks till it was time to head out again. With a list of projects so long it was overwhelming. Picked up our place a little and painted our spare room and put trim up in 2 bedrooms, added a closet and went through a lot of stuff I had in storage etc. It was a stressful time trying to get lots done and I did not get my goal of getting Austin potty trained. I looked forward to our simple life in the camper again. Life is just so cozy in our camper and lots less maintenance than a house. Mid November we headed up to Michigan to start the next taco bell project. I will be working full time on this project doing the electrical again. See once how the kids do with a baby sitter. Not to mention it being cold in nov in Michigan. The first few weeks were very rough. Lack of sleep , long nights at work and little time to be with the kids. Kahleah ,Dereks sister travelled with us the first 2 weeks and took wonderful care of the children. We ended up getting colds and it was rough. After she went home my sisters from Canada came for a week to watch the kids and then Brians teenage girls did it till Christmas. It was a hard transition for the children and me working so I will take a little break for a while and not work and see if we can get in a good routine. I will miss working with Derek as I totally love the work and working along side my hubby. Jayson , Dereks cousin was helping us here till Christmas but he is done now so we will miss him. This job is a 3 man job most nights, some lines could be done by 2 people and others take the 3rd person. We are finally getting a good routine and feel like we are getting the hang of things and learning ways to speed up things and make it go smoother. Long and short of it it was a rough start. It is a big project and lots of little details. We have to take down all the monitors and put them back up after we are done with the line. They can be a royal pain, we always breathe easier once we turn thme back on and they work properly.we are taking everything off the top half of the food line and putting new back. Rv ing in the snow puts on a whole new aspect. Our water lines froze up for a few weeks so we had to use the shower houses at the rvv parks for showers and carried water for the bathroom. I think the children would have done better too if we could have played outside more. We worked in Detroit, flint and Toledo in nov and dec. we plan on starting in northern Indiana in January and working to il and maybe Wisconsin and then by end of January hopefully be out on the west coast, Oregon and then California. So we are soooo looking forward to warmer temps. Any one looking for a trip? Im looking for a nanny in a little while, anyone out there wanting to see the west coast and do some travelling with us?? I hope to be able to work again once we get in a good routine . We had a few days in canada with my family over Christmas and spent a few days in Michigan with all the Swartz family and now we are home for a week and head out again the next week. We may have found renters for our place, they are coming to look at the place tomorrow so I will have a busy week packing up all the stuff in the house. So much for a nice break. I caint remember the last time life was relaxing for me. Life as a mom I guess. ive been running on empty for too long. There is always a to do list yay long that feels like it never gets done. But we are loving our sweet kiddos and I guess they are only little once. Will post pics in just a ;ittle bit but here is our latest news.
