 all the way in the yard all the way in the we know i'm talking to you all the way in the yard keep going god boy past the deck there you go oh fresh air morning everybody so we're at home today soon to be a good day they got some snow while i was gone the snow had pretty much all melted away because we got that one big snowfall and most of it left and while i was on this trip i didn't get any snow where i was in minnesota we got quite a bit of snow here is what it is it's got to happen right we got to have a white christmas so we need snow before christmas so we clean up after our dogs every time we never we never let their waste just sit out in the yard i think we both think that think that's disgusting some people just leave it out in the yard and then it's spring it's all mushy it's all over the place and it's just you can't have people in your backyard because they're constantly stepping in it that's gross now so we we've always followed them around and scooped it up and threw it out right away to get it get it out of the yard and uh with this bigger yard it's like a new level of difficulty chasing these guys around yeah and then sometimes we miss one and then we got to go and like do the rounds after to make sure we got them all because we don't want them just sitting in the yard especially under the snow that's just a nasty surprise in spring that we don't want yeah we we keep our yard nice and clean of it another thing we're going to have to do in spring is to rake up all of these leaves as soon as we're able to the previous owners obviously didn't do it because they moved out just as the leaves were falling and why would they you know rake an entire yard that they're not going to be living in right like I totally get it so uh we've got to take care of this otherwise that'll start to cause problems that'll be our spring project first thing right Chevy you're gonna help no poor diesel just doesn't have the energy he once did can't run very long anymore I can't run as long as I used to either that's my fault I could felt worked at it but we all get old eventually right diesel nothing wrong with that I mean maybe he'll improve yet because we have such a bigger space now he's all the space to run around and maybe he just needs the exercise you know maybe his body will adjust but I think his back hips are starting to you know show the rage a little bit unfortunately he used to be so energetic like I couldn't keep them off the countertops is he wouldn't dare go on the countertops when I was home but I would notice that if I left him at home and someone was at the door suddenly there would be evidence of diesels being on the countertops all the places you could lay in this entire house I guess he misses the little house should we go back to the little house no so what is going on in here I'm elfin now watching Christmas movies and everything watch this one a couple times every so this is the tree that's going to be in this room we have multiple trees that are going up well two for sure this year probably three once we're done having a play pen out yeah so someday I might even put one in the garage who knows maybe it's talking about it before you know when you open the garage door you come home it's just like ha Christmas one in the shed yeah backyard kitchen one day one day yet I want to put one of those a tree where you put half of it in here right in front of the window and then the other half on top of the roof so it looks like it's going right through your roof one day the neighbors will know us in the middle of July we'll be walking down the street they'll be like oh look there goes the Christmas people so I've been working on this garage I still have a little ways to go yet I'm gonna have a bunch of other things to get done so I haven't been able to do too much I've got to get all of this stuff organized and out of here a lot of this stuff is going to go into the shed in the backyard back there and all of this needs to sort of be unpacked one box at a time we're either gonna find a spot for it in the house or we're gonna give it away to a thrift store or something just to get rid of it get it out of the house and once this is all clear then we can get the terrain inside the garage yet diesel you want to go outside yeah those are gazebo posts I gotta take those outside yet to put them beside the side the shed or beside the fence or something back there come on let's go come on even what's this it's a purple rock interesting so this is the shed where I want to put everything back here not everything but like the lawnmower the gardening stuff anything for the outdoors anything that's okay to freeze this is the inside so this is where some stuff will go I mean it's obviously not insulated so it has to be able to freeze but this is a nice storage area these the previous owners left here so I guess there are now you can store some lumber up there or other things yeah he's got the screwed on here oh he left some of this too yeah right on cool that'll come in handy right diesel so we'll see what makes it out here what stays in the garage and what makes it into the house it's a whole big organization process I don't want to leave this for years and years because usually this is what I do right because I've moved so often since I moved out I moved out on my own in 2006 I was 18 then and I've been on my own ever since and that was my choice I wanted to be independent I've always been very independent it's hard for me to accept help at any time I like doing things myself but sometimes help is needed but now that we're here we have a family I don't want to be bouncing my family around house to house anymore it was different when it was just me when it was just me and Brett but we've got a kid now and want to give them stability and keep them in the same place if at all possible I mean life happens right but we're gonna do everything we can to make sure that when life does happen that we stay here and that life happened here in this place so we want to get everything organized properly and we want to get rid of everything that we don't need there's no use hanging on to all this stuff that I've had for all these years that I've never used or that I haven't used in like six years I have more stuff than the average person it seems like or maybe I don't maybe I just feel that way diesel we've got a lot of stuff you got way too much stuff man it's ridiculous pity ridiculous I got sandbox you look very nice diesel you're gonna share that with you maybe if he gives me a cookie I'm sure he will we're a guy diesel can't play with Chevy the way he used to right diesel I still gotta hear me man he's not right now it's Cody Frank how about you huh he doesn't know what planet he's on he's an old old man we don't even know how old he is older than dirt that's what we call him okay diesel can I get you to leave your sandbox can we go inside fab won't we need having fun are you guys gonna help me rake up all these leaves in springtime we're gonna have to get some first thing the grass can grow proper diesel you're gonna help me I will keep a bag yes I'll just let the dogs inside I'm just gonna do my round of the yard making sure I didn't miss anything don't want to leave problems like that festering in the yard oh so what's wrong going just in case I was watching pretty closely but I was also talking to you guys a little bit so I got a little distracted there just gonna make sure I didn't miss anything life with dog right you gotta keep things cleaned up as they build up and build up and then you got a problem is it weird that I can't wait until he has old enough to swing on these that I can swing on them with him and have an excuse as to why I'm swinging on the kid swings I used to love the swings when I was younger oh I'd swing on them all day well as long as I could we used to have a big swing set at this place that I grew up in and I was out in the bush when I was a young kid we had this big swing set in our backyard I loved it I didn't see how high it could go he still got it good job got the one tree up this is our pencil tree this is the one that's going to be upstairs tree this year i'm putting another big tree downstairs and yeah we got the cartoons on and I saw one comment come in saying that we have been in front of the tv all the time no he doesn't watch tv all day no it's just when we need to take the dogs out or when I want to talk to you guys for one or two minutes maybe we'll put him in his playpen where he's safe and have his cartoons on so that he has something to watch oh we just get something done for a minute or two like filming a clip like this that's how he doesn't watch tv all day no worry no worry thanks for your concern downstairs thank you for a bit so we moved his playpen upstairs want to come down there we go there you go good boy chef brit is up here too upstairs so it's not just me here clear things up down here a little bit yeah I had one comment come in oh you can't let him sit in front of the tv all day I kind of thought that one or two of those comments I actually thought more might come in because obviously uh when I'm talking to you uh very often in the background or I show it and I talk about it a lot his cartoons he's always watching cartoons when I'm filming you got to remember I only film like what 20 minutes out of the 24 hour day so very often when I want to talk to you guys for a minute or two just like this uh yeah I'll put him in his playpen where he's safe and I'll turn the tv on so he has something to watch and distract himself for the minute or two while I'm talking to you or while I'm making coffee or something and we have a monitor in the room with the camera and then we always have the monitor in our pocket everywhere we go so we can hear them we can see them and we're maybe just across the room where we can always just see them with our eyes too and there's two of us in the house as well so not just me here so it's it's hard to get a a view of what our entire day looks like from just a 20 minute vlog so just keep that in mind the tv's a nice little tool for distraction for short periods of time but uh it's not like he's sitting in there watching cartoons from sun up to sun down I mean he has his playroom over here he's got to spend time learning as well so uh although at the end of the hall here you've seen it uh he spends part of his day in here as well where he learns his motor skills grabbing and reaching for things he's gotten really good at that he also learns how to uh maneuver like if he's in this playstation here or close to it but he wants to get to that one he's at the point right now where he's got to figure out how can he get there and we can sit in here and watch while he learns he hasn't quite got the crawling thing down you but he's getting there it'll be a couple of weeks and then there's his uh play jungle there as well which also teaches him uh hand-eye coordination and he can also jump as well to strengthen his legs so he can get ready to walk and then upstairs we have this big giant mat where he spends part of his day as well it's this huge thing like the size of this whole living room here like from our Chevy is all the way around there I'll show it to you yet someday don't worry huge mat it's like a padded blanket almost but it's made for babies it's got a rubber bottom so it doesn't slide we're a little rubber dots on there and you lay that down on the ground and you can sit around and watch him while he learns how to move around as well sort of you put him in the center and then you put toys around him just out of his reach or maybe just within his reach so he can just barely get them so he's got to look around and pick which one he wants and then he's got to figure out how to get to it so he's got to get up on his hands and knees and he's got to start learning he's he's rolling to get places now sort of pushing himself forward he can push himself backwards pretty good so that he there's all kinds of activities that he's doing all day to learn as he's growing he's definitely not sitting in front of the TV all day you'll just see that mostly in my videos because it's a nice little two-minute distraction while I talk to you guys for a little bit and of course we got the Christmas Christmas tunes going here well the day at home is over so thanks for watching everybody tomorrow we head back to the truck we're gonna get a head start on the next next day because I load the day after tomorrow in Canora so I'm gonna head there tomorrow night to get ready because I want to be the first thing in the morning I want to see if I can be first in the gate I'm never first in the gate we're gonna try tomorrow we'll see what happens there's always those sneaky guys that get in there before me somehow but it's okay either way the place from delivering tomorrow is open until 10 p.m. and it's only a six-hour drive so really there's there's no big rush to get unloaded super early tomorrow but I do want to get unloaded or pardon me the day after tomorrow I do want to get unloaded as as early as I can just so that I can get my myself on the right foot for my reload whichever direction that'll be in so I can get right up to there maybe even reloaded we'll see uh I just want to like I said laser focused we'll have to take care of now and want to make sure that we do that as quickly as possible get that out of the way get dead out of the way so that we can just focus on enjoying life again I'm not worrying about all that right so gotta keep trucking gotta keep those wheels turning I'll see you guys tomorrow thanks for hanging out with me at home I'll be at the truck tomorrow take care drive safe out there keep your head up keep your stick on the ice and drive safe
