Tyson

Charlotte nc.

Good morning . It is 5 am and I am wide awake since 4. Tyson finally woke up to eat at 430. He had been sleeping since 9 last night. He has been doing really good nights. Sleeping 5 to 7 hrs for a few weeks now. But now hes starting 8 hr stretches and my body is still waking me up after 3 or 4 hrs . Youd think id just sleep as tired as I get being a busy mom of my 3 children. But I will get it down pat eventually. In the meantime heres another update thanks to me being awake.
   Ive sorted our laundry ready to go get washed. Have 4 loads and they have only 2 washers here so a few extra trips to the laundry room. We are a 5 minute walk from them here.
   Arianna is eating so much again. She must be on a growth spurt. Im making austin eat his real food more instead of getting by with peanut butter jelly sandwiches and snacks. He eats half what she does. If I have anything with lettuce on it or veggies in it she comes running. And she loves her fruit. Austin likes fruit too but ive not done so well on his veggies. He likes meat and bread things.
    Tyson is doing really good. Hes quite content now that im off dairy for 2 weeks. Im getting ready to get me some yummy raw milk today and slowly start with that. Oatmeal with cinnamin and peaches just isnt what it is with milk.
   I feel like im slowly catching up on stuff and able to sanely have meals ready, keep stuff picked up etc. Seems till babies get 3 months old its just a challenge to keep up with normal duties. I have def enjoyed this newborn stage more than the other 2, but always ready for a less demanding schedule.  I just love my dear family so much.
    The guys had a horrible busy week. Since monday we counted up they did not get much more than 10 hrs sleep total. Driving an hour to the jobs, slow electricians that held us up, hard jobs, and loading challenges. Their dock was not set up for our trailer and so it took both of them to get it everytime.  Now we get 1 day off and have a job sunday night 2 hrs away. We had been only starting monday night so not sure why they did sunday this week. We like our sundays off.
    Well im getting kinda sleepy so I  etter get shuteye before my oldest 2 get up at 8. No sleeping in for this mama even if tyson sleeps in.
     Wish you Gods blessings. We are so blessed.

South Carolina is nice this time of year.weather is rainy some days but we have some 70 degree sunny days too. Wed nov 18 Today we went to ikea and got our new couch / bed for the children to sleep on. And of course had to get a pack of their fresh cinnamon rolls. So now I have 2 couches in my living room till we go home on the wknd and leave the old one at home. My rv feels like a wreck with having moved some things to get it in. def need to pick up all the loose stuff laying around to travel Friday. We are going to ind for thanksgiving. They gave us the whole week off. Devins and us will travel home together in our motorhome. We have a 10 hr drive. Tyson was quite content today . he has been sleeping 5 to 7 hrs through at night and takes 1 3 to 4 hr nap during the day and catnaps the rest of the time. I have been trying to avoid dairy, specialy milk and he seems more content and less gassy. Though he wasn’t that fussy just seemed he could have been a little more content sometimes. He is def growning. He will be 2 months tomorrow . I just started him in 3 month sleepers and hes outgrowing sz 2 diapers. He really is starting to notice things around him and us walking around. He is now going to sleep by himself some times if we give him his paci. He loves to lay out on the couch undisturbed by his older siblings. They love to love on him but he would rather they give him his space and just talk to him instead from a distance. He takes his paci sometimes to go to sleep and when he goes down for his long stretches of sleep likes to make sure hes stocked up on milk to go to sleep. Thurs nov19 It rained last night off n on all night but the sun came out beautiful most of the day. It was warm out with long sleeves. Children played and explored down by the the creek bed. Throwing sticks in the shallow water and I was out with them while Tyson slept this am. This aft I got a few things cleaned up and took care of Tyson. Seemed I spent most of the day today sitting on the couch feeding him. By nap time I was so exhausted I laid down too with arianna and Tyson and poor derek just got a grilled cheese /lunchmeat sandwich before he left for work .tonight I got the laundry folded and meat fried for pizza for tomorrow and kids fed and taken care of but that’s about it. My day consisted pretty much of just taking care of my precious children. Friday nov20 the guys came back in good time ,by 8 am. They slept till noon while I picked up the rv and got things ready to travel home. Tyson again was eating a lot so I felt like I was moving at a snails pace. We left the campground around 1 and went to go park the truck and trailer and devins camper at a storage place just down the road. Paperwork took awhle but by mid afternoon we were finally on our way home to Indiana . we have next week off over thanksgiving. I still have a hard time feeling like thanksgiving so late. I love canadas thanksgiving in oct when crops are in etc. just seems more right. And then you have 2 months to get ready for Christmas. Seeing all the Christmas comercials and hearing Christmas music before thanksgiving just don’t feel right and if you wait till after thanksgiving its so short a time to enjoy all the Christmas music etc. I love the Christmas carols. In the youthgroup Christmas caroling was always a favourite of mine. We got home around 1 am . travelling went well. Parked our rv and went to sleep and sat we moved a few things into the house and got it warmed up. It was cold and rainy so when derek fired up the woodstove it felt pretty cozy. Coming into our house always feels overwhelming. All I see is the unfinished projects and the work of keeping up with such a big space. living in the rv is just so simple compared to a house.

Hi

Last taco bell install

Well tonight closes our taco bell era.  We are doing our last job tonight.  I have mixed feelings.  It's been a lot of sweat headache  and tired days  but also good memories , being able to live in and see the whole southwest usa.  Working alongside my hubby.  We loved being able to work together
.    But I am looking forward to getting a better routine with the kids and getting caught up on my work at home in the rv

On our walk behind the rv park. In reno nevada

What a gorgeous day. After good naps we went for a sunday aft noon stroll.   Kids playing pirate at the playground and enjoyed the ducks and geese on our walk. It was up to 66 today.

January 2015

We are in carson city nevada. A beautiful place with  snow capped mountains and a field behind us where we have seen coyotes etc. Its good to be back home again. I love these mountains.  We see gorgeous sunsets and sunrises every day. Children are both feeling better and enjoy running outdoors. I missed not being outside on our holidays.
