A TERRIFYING INTRUDER ON OUR PROPERTY!!!

What's up guys? Good morning, it's another early day and if you watched our last video, you probably saw that we spent the last five days in Florida. Today we are waking up in our Airbnb and getting everything ready. Leo. Having a great morning crawling on the floor, how are you Leo? are you a happy child? Yes, we had a great time here in Florida, in fact we came here for the 50th wedding anniversary of one of Ali's father's cousins ​​and spent a lot of time. time with Ali's big Italian family we had a lot of fun, but today we packed everything up, hit the road, hopped on a plane or two, which doesn't sound like much fun to me, but we're headed.

I'm home now, luckily it's not as early as when we went to Florida. When we went to Florida, we had to wake up at like three in the morning. I think Allie woke up around 2:30 so she could get to the airport and surprise Ally's parents and we had to be there at 4 or 4 30 because our plane left at 6. Now our plane leaves at 7 30 it's 5 30 and we're about half an hour from the airport so this trip has been really kind. Bittersweet, I guess she didn't even want to come on this trip mainly because I hate airplanes. I really wanted to meet all of Ali's family who lives here in Florida, but I love flying.

It's like I'm having a really bad time. I'm on the plane, but like most times, I got through it and had an amazing time, but today I have to get back on the plane and I'm not excited about it, but I'm a little less worried. about this that when I was on the way here because it's always easier to come home, let's do it right, we left the rental car at the car rental place that is not close to the airport, which is strange for me, but I know that that's a very common thing in other places, so now we are on the airport shuttle heading to the airport, it's 5 58.

Are you ready? Well a little. We've never done this with a baby before, so we're a bit. I'm not sure how much extra time it will take to get through security and all the stuff so far. It hasn't taken any extra time. Security was super fast. They scanned all my breast milk again and we easily passed through security. looking for some coffee and I think we even have a few minutes free and relaxing before our plane takes off okay we're about to board plane number one okay we just landed in Dallas Fort Worth and we're going to Let's go look for the car seat and stroller from the bottom of the plane and they can't open the cargo doors so we can't put the stroller in the car seat.

We have a layover here, so we're actually going to be. I'm headed to a different airport and I don't know if the car seat and stroller will make it to the next plane, which is a big deal because Leo can't ride in the car after waiting about 10 minutes. minutes at the door, they finally opened the loading doors, got me the stroller and car seat. Ali took Leo to the bathroom and she's pumping right now, which has been a challenge on this trip, but now she's in the bathroom pumping. Right now, hopefully, when it's over we'll be able to get to our door in time.

We have reached our last leg of the trip and we are almost home. I know I'm not the only one who is very excited. for a bath and a nap in my own bed, like three more hours, we have a special stop we'll make on the way to the hospital, two special stops, a really exciting day and hopefully now it's still here, someone marked our wheel . with chalk oh interesting I don't know wow what couple of days I'm so glad to be back I'm so incredibly exhausted even though last night we slept a couple of hours more than the first night of the trip I'm looking forward to The complicated nights of traveling and not sleeping well me have affected today and I can barely speak, I can barely keep my eyes open.

I am very happy that I got home nice and easy. All went well. It was a great debate. Trying to get home early in the afternoon and having to get up very early or get home later in the evening, I decided to bite the bullet and get up early, but that also means it's only 1 pm so we have the rest of the afternoon. get home to unpack, shower, maybe even take a little nap before we have to get ready for work tomorrow, so before we left for Florida, I left the truck at Tyrell's store in vision, if you guys remember, and I asked them to do it.

The windows are tinted, so they will look completely different. I'm so excited because I didn't have any tint on the front windows and when it was hot outside, it was literally so hot inside the truck that, like the buckles and stuff. burn you and with the precursor and the old truck we put tints around it that were like this ceramic film that rejects heat and that made a thousand percent difference so I did that to this truck and we are also looking into maybe having them change the color of the truck because we don't really like the silver color so we're looking into maybe wrapping it but we're going to go pick up the truck now and we're on our way to get the dogs it's the green one.

It's not as cool as any of the other cars here like the mclaren, the ferrari, the bentley or the porsche, it's our truck, although, oh, look who it is, hello, hello, hello, look at your kitchen, hello, yes, did you have fun? are you excited to not be in the pet hotel anymore yes they both played really well with other dogs oh very fast yes amazing yes that's really good that's good because before we tried to take Lika to a kennel for a short period of time and they told us that she was aggressive and couldn't be in that kennel.

She really bothered us, so I'm really glad you guys had a great time. They don't even seem interested in us. They are great. to just relax so let's throw them in the precursor we're going home oh well we got home now we just have to get everything in and I feel like I don't have the energy to do that we have to push hello I forgot you have no hair lo I forgot you don't have hair it's weird what's wrong guys and good morning we're back at the house we're finally back we've got the dogs we've got the truck we've got everything it's the next day and even though we're not going to I'll be working at the house today, I forgot to tell Joel no going up, which we weren't going to frame, so Joel is going to join me today and we're going to head to the mountain-made trucks, Brandon isn't here, but Ally is staying at the house and doing a little cleaning and some small jobs that we have in the house while Joel and I go down to the mountain-built trucks and meet weekly there and see what the progress is. in the 170 sprinter has been are you having fun?

Leo is having a great morning and we are ready to go to work. This is the first time you're hearing about this. How do you feel about today's agenda? I got up early for nothing. Yeah, they still pay me, oh, never mind, this is worth it, so while you guys are gone, I'm going to redecorate the house again, better not fix things up a bit more around here, so I think Ellie will do it. some chores around here like i was talking about before the main thing i would like to have is the grates that are in that box under the deck not the drip tray but the grates need to be cleaned so we can use the new one. drip pan and the new smoker grates and hopefully we can smoke some ribs or a pork butt or something very soon Joel is extremely ready, we'll go to the store, you're having a lot of fun, yeah, oh, are you happy to do it ?

Being okay at home, honestly, Leo slept really well during our first night home after a five night vacation, so he was definitely worried about that transition, but he seems to be doing great. I'm going to make sure he takes all of his naps. at the right times and hopefully the right amount of time, today is really like a recovery day for him because traveling and getting out of a routine is very difficult for him and I think all the babies and I will take advantage of the recovery day. today to return. on the way with all the things I need to do I feel a little overwhelmed because everything is kind of crazy Dana just arrived and we hope to have things good and organized as soon as possible good morning linka how are you okay?

Seeing you good, it's actually great and I'm excited to take Joel here to the mountain made trucks. I think this Oops driver is actually here for the mountain-made trucks, so we'll probably get some cool deliveries. Joel is seeing it for the first time. it's a fun day, how are you?, how bad?, are you pretty good?, very hot, so in this van, we're actually doing something different, we're not going to mount the toilet in a shower inside the truck, this truck will be more of a weekend warrior, so it will be built to carry four people and sleep four people and it will have a nice dinette, but it won't be a truck that someone lives in full time, so So having a full interior shower wasn't really a priority for this van so we're trying to build this cabinet that the nature head will sit in and one problem with the nature head well two problems is that It's very tall and very long, so it's designed that way for a couple of reasons, but it makes it really inconvenient when you try to enclose it in a cabinet, so it has to be very wide because the inlet and outlet for ventilation has to be very deep so it can cover the entire toilet and it doesn't look like a weird toilet sticking out of a cabinet, we are trying to figure out where to put it so it fits better if we build a foot underneath, the cabinet has to be considerably larger or the toilet has It has to be lifted off the ground and it's already so high that it's absolutely impossible, so it's a little bit painful, but we're doing our best because, like your first day in the store, there's a lot of arguing, it's called collaborating.

Dana is amazing and she is helping Leo take his first nap of the day. I've decided that to stay organized, the best advice I've heard from others is to write a physical list of your to-dos. not just like on your phone not just in your head write them down on a piece of paper and check them off once you've completed them and that will help you both stay organized and feel very accomplished so I'm going to make a list and I'm going to check them off everyone today, well I'm slowly but surely crossing things off my list and the next thing I was about to do is clean the grates that go on the grill and are stored. below deck so I was using these other stairs and I saw a rope on the stairs on the rope oh oh my gosh there's a snake chilling I'm 99 sure it's not poisonous or it's definitely not a rattlesnake but it's just sunbathing I passed it probably five or six times before I realized and, oh, and it's moving, hey, little one, oh, you see it breathing.

Hello, snakes are not my thing, but there is one, I'm going to give him some space, leave him alone. make sure the dogs don't go near it and keep the doors closed, I mean it's not close to the house but we obviously don't want it inside, I think this is the first snake we've seen on our

property

. I wish Trent was here, you would love this right now, I know he's probably fine, but still, wow, what an adrenaline rush just knowing that I got really close and that if he wanted to bite me, he definitely could have and would have.

Leo is still napping. So Dan and I are just hanging out and, um, we don't really know if the snake is venomous or venomous or not, I don't think it is, but we're both talking about how every time we see a snake we get scared. If we know it's not poisonous, then we'll leave it alone, let it do its thing, and keep everyone away. Hopefully it will go away on its own and it's not a big deal, but either way it's fine, so really The good thing, but also very sad, is that Pamela from Anderson 1.0 has basically 100 units sold.

The guy is actually flying here to pick it up on Friday and today is Tuesday and there are one or two things that need to be finished and touched up first. He drives it, so Bryce and Matt are ripping those things apart today and I've ordered some moving detailers to come and wash the seats and clean everything and make it look super new. It's going to be sad, but uh. It's a good thing she is in amazing shape right now for the new owner. Okay, I have about half the list complete. Dana left for the day.

Leo, I'm going to go and Leo is just waking up from his nap right now. It's this little warning. Leo, he's actually been sleeping extraordinarily well today, I guess he's really tired from the weekend. It's great, he's back on his schedule now, so I'm hoping that continues throughout the day and into tonight and we can get another good night's sleep and have an easy transition back. back to our usual routine here and in the meantime I have some great news, the consensus after posting videos of the snake on Instagram and our local neighborhood Facebook group is that it was a grass snake and it was non-venomous and totally harmless, its bites definitely they hurt, like thisthat you don't do it. get bitten by one but they actually keep other rodents at bay and are great to have around so we won't go near it but I'm glad to know it was just a regular old friendly neighborhood snake ah well I had a good day Here, Joel actually ended up leaving a little early because I told him he could come because I was so bored, we were discussing things and solving problems and the problem with coming to the van shop is that I could literally sit here for like five hours straight theorizing and philosophizing. and talking and talking about what we want to build and how we want to build it and the way we want to look and try to solve problems in unique ways with good craftsmanship, there are always things to go over so it was a good day, I think we solved some problems .

Joel could see the store. In fact, ally texted me saying there was a snake in the house and she was worried. It could be poisonous, so I hope that's not the case. I'll have to make sure he's gone when we get home so we don't have any encounters with dog snakes because that would be bad, but I think I'm probably ending it here. For the day I have a couple of errands to run and then I'll go home oh man, who is this? Hello, how was the excellent cleaning? He's about to be cool as soon as you hug Leo for me, cool huh?

Have a fun day today, no that's my face, he basically uses this the way it's supposed to be used if you put it in front of you, grab it and try to climb. Are you doing that? Yes, he is eating books instead of reading books, yes. when the guardian levies strange things on tiptoe just having this in a day he's grown a lot, he already noticed, you know, so I bet by the end of the week he'll be very comfortable with it, oh, both feet, both just in Yes, slowly, continue, don't let go, it's that all you have, you have more, hello, yes, look at you, hello, look at that kid, do you think he only needs his left hand because he's left-handed?

Don't know. are you left-handed? Obviously there's no way to know early, but I'm left-handed, so I'm always looking for signs of whether he likes to eat with his left hand or pick up something with his left hand where he might be. oh, he's left-handed, this is fantastic, but we won't know for a long time. It's nice to give yourself an extra day after a little trip to get his life back together. I'm so grateful that we can have the flexibility to incorporate that day into our lives. Trent did a lot of things at the store, I did a lot of things around the house, I just made so many phone calls and emails and caught up on clothes and everything. which he cleaned, uh, before logging out.

The day we'll check off one more thing that I didn't even add to the list today but it's been on my mind for a long time. Hopefully Home Depot has what we are looking for. Yes, it's perfect. This is perfect. See. The problem is that we have a table in our sunroom that we don't use. It's basically just my office desk, so at least during the summer it would be really nice to use our terrace space to eat and enjoy the sunset. I think this would be perfect. Our house is blue and our terrace is gray, so we want this to match something right.

Our house is the ugliest YouTube house I know, so I really think it doesn't matter anymore, so we should get a green table, yeah. exactly right, so we found the perfect table and chair set and assumed they would be out of stock and we would have to schedule a delivery. Turns out there are a couple of them in stock and we are trying to figure out if we can fit them on the truck and take them home with us tonight. Hopefully, what do you think? I think it's good. I guess I just want to make sure there are no order names here.

How exciting that this fits in the truck. As long as someone can help us load, we have walked around the store in different directions trying to find one of the four pieces they have in stock and finally found one in the garden section. Hi guys, I think that's all, thanks. for your help at the bottom of the receipt, yes, survey, see how I started and I am ready to help you, okay, let's see how I made our story today, if you like it, I will definitely complete it, thank you guys, have a good night, thank you Jake, I appreciate it, no problem, we're heading home, we're locked and loaded, we have everything in the truck with us.

I'm about to fill out that survey because when you have great customer service, it's very important to provide That positive feedback, um, and we're going to unload all of this and a very unexpected and very happy ending to tonight. Are you ready for the hardest thing you've had to do since giving birth? Okay, I've got this a little bit harder on your back. than you'd expect, everything else is slow and tedious, but we'll probably finish this in the morning, since the sun is setting. Trent is inside eating pizza and hanging out with Leo. I'd love to finish this, but I just think we're wasting daylight here, so I made one and we uploaded it to our

property

, which is really all that counts.

We'll finish this tomorrow and in the meantime I think it will look perfect. Well, that was really it. Really intense there was a mother moose around here. I tried to get some images. She has a baby moose. A small hatchling that is smaller than Lika. I have never seen a baby moose as small as this one. He was probably born in the latter. week because it was like this the last 24 hours yes, probably yes, that was new, yes, it was small, so small, that big, it was so small anyway, the sun has basically set. An ally has been here trying to put up this dining set. here together because she is very eager to use it.

I keep saying wait until tomorrow and I'll put it together, but she's really excited and she wants to finish it, so she's set aside two chairs and I think I'll do it. Come in because she's starting to get cold, it's dark and we've had a really productive day and I'm really tired, can you believe this time yesterday we were getting home from Florida? Ugh, no, I slept really well last night, yeah, I like that too. a rock like it just disappeared it's okay anyway I think I'm going to sleep like a rock again tonight and we'll let you guys go so if you enjoyed today's video be sure to show it to us by giving the video a big thumbs up from today. video consider subscribing to our channel if you haven't already thank you guys we love you I will see you in the next bye bye I can't believe what my eyes have seen I just woke up from a broken dream
