The Simple Life...
a life that I would love to one day have -
 although Josh thinks differently.
A life away from the chaos,
 and a life where hard work literally puts food on the table.
 
It had been 2 years since we had made the journey down to Grandpa's...way too long.
 
I love it at his house...
and I'm telling you all right now...
if ever there is a zombie apocalypse,
this is where you will find me!
And I'm not even joking a little...
I've watched way to much Walking Dead to not think about these things.
 

 

 I remember running up and down this rock wall thousands of times as a kid...
it always seemed so scary, and Mason was a little leery at first.




 Laundry to fold and blackberries to pick!



She's got 5 babies waiting to hatch under her belly :)









 Making lunch as a family!
And learning Grandpa's secret family BBQ recipe.

Mason and Vince's Mini-Room Makeover.

The boys have been begggging for bunk beds for YEARS -  and to get ready for our next newest addition in November, we finally gave in to their pleas and they're now sharing a room! For not a whole lot of money, I think it turned out super cute.  I'll post the deets here if any of you are looking for a quick remodel for a shared brothers bedroom. The wall I did completely on my own, only using a tape measure, level, and razor blade!!  Originally I had wanted an authentic restored barn wood - but the $1200 price tag made me quickly change my mind.  Instead, I picked this up at Lowe's for less than $1 a square foot.  I had never attempted a project like this at all, but after watching just a few YouTube videos I felt like it was something I could certainly tackle on my own.  I did apply just a thin layer of additional glue before I put each peel 'n stick panel to the wall.  Total cost for this Driftwood Gray weathered wood wall was le...
