The Start of a Homesteader Mom

TONS of Pictures! What I am known for!

This is a picture of Justin scrapping my brother in laws trailer. You can see it is almost done but this gives you an idea of the WORK he did. Almost all by himself. His brothers and mom and dad and I helped here and there but Justin worked constantly. I was proud of him.

Then our trailer is in place now and the front porch was being put on Saturday. So I took some pics out my front door to show you the view.

My inlaws own up to the road ... well I think the state owns a few feet right of way onto the grass, you know how that goes. but that is their creek. I like that. Kinda makes our yard safer from the main road there.

Between the trees you can kinda see my inlaws house. That is a lilac bush in the middle of the picture. I am going to snag some of it to plant up by my trailer. And the scrap in the yard is from the trailer we tore down. The men have ideas for using it up. It is an eyesore to us but from the roads the trees hide it for now.

This is looking to the side. Our shed. The field there is the farmer's next to us.

And this is looking to the side. That is my old big deck that was on the back of the house. We split it and are going to make a long porch on the back instead of a big deck. We are going to put a roof on it too. My van is the top of our driveway where we park. We are going to use the back door more. Also note my white fence! That is going to go in the backyard with all the kids toys (swingset, trampoline and sandbox) and then I have a safe place for my kids to run around! Yeah!

Ok now since the kids rooms were clean and not lived in yet I figured I would show you them too! lol

Tristans room...

Alyssa's room

She has her wall hangings up now so they are not so bare.

Before we moved like the DAY Before... we found two barn kitties

One died but she kept the other one. Our dog Jack was nursing them!

Jack is fixed and I dont think they got milk but they tried.

I had a wedding to go to saturday so I did my make up and hair... Taking them of my self so not the best... one smiling one not. Oh well.

And one more to embarrass my son... This is how I find him almost EVERY DAY!

How nice!!!!!!!!
