 What you snackin' on, babe? Some pistachios. What are those good for? They're good in potassium. It's good for pregnant ladies and hungry fishermen, outdoorsmen. This stool, it's good for pregnant people. This is my kitchen stool, it's my makeshift. Let's just back out for a second. Let's keep backing up. This is how we're starting this vlog. Yes, my feet are burning up, sweetheart. I'm going to stand over here in the shade. Welcome to today's vlog, y'all. First of all, I just want to say thank you for everyone that tuned in on the last one. Moving out of the parent's house. A massive monumental day in our lives. How long was that? Five months? Yeah. We lived with our parents, with my parents for five months. The reason is because we had to at first find a home and then had all the stuff going on with Willis and then pregnancy. It was a crazy time. We wanted to move before Willis and be settled into a house and then start the pregnancy process, you know what I'm saying? But life comes at you fast and here we are now. Stephanie is due September 14th. You are correct. Boom. So we're a ways out. Yes, and now it is time to nest. So we are so blessed to have this house. We are absolutely in love with it. We're going to show you around. It is a bit discombobulated right now. Actually, it's a lot discombobulated. We are still moving in. I would have showed you it last time, but it was just crazy. There was nothing in there. It was just boxes. So now it's time to show you guys around a little bit. Now that we've gotten the boxes settled in, gotten the room settled up a little bit, welcome to the treehouse. All right, let's get into the tour here. The reason that we wanted to get this particular house, it really mixes the two things that we love the most. We wanted to have a place that we can raise our baby and something that just mixes both of our worlds that we love. And that's that's the outdoors for me. Stephanie loves the outdoors as well. Cooking, dietitian, she wanted a decent kitchen. So like it took so, so long to find a combination of that because I will basically live straight up in the woods. I need a little bit of internet, but other than that, I'm just, I'm happy with a cabin out in the woods. So this is a combination of both. So let's step on into the treehouse now and y'all let me tell you, it definitely is a treehouse. When you look around the entire home, it's just nothing but trees when you look outside. OSG, I just want to come home every day and just smell the sweet smells of whatever's going on in here. Of the home cooking. We'll start out with the kitchen, your domain. My domain. Well, welcome to my... Much more room now. Yeah, much more room, got plenty of play. I wouldn't know I was unboxing. I don't even know how I fit everything in our own kitchen. I don't know how you do either. Now, she's got lots of cabin trees and pantry and all that stuff. You guys are going to be seeing some pretty, pretty amazing recipes and food stuff out of OSG. This is my favorite, favorite thing. Look, it's a spice rack. She got her spice rack. Spice rack. Getting fast. So while I'm cooking over here, I can just reach over here and grab some spices. It's a little dark in here. It is a little dark. I already got my baking section set up. This is what I was talking about. Making cinnamon rolls. Yes, we talked about it in the last video. Pretty much every special occasion we've had in life, we like to do cinnamon rolls when it's a special time. We only do them a few times a year. And now is that time. So cinnamon rolls are being made. We're going to fill this house with a sweet smell of cinnamon rolls. The dough is actually rising over there. Look, let's take a look at that. Let's take a little gander. What does that look like? That just looks like a pile of putty right now. It'll turn into something good. Just saying that's probably the main reason we got this house because it's a combination of your kitchen needs and my need for the woods. When you step out of the kitchen, you're basically right in the living room, which it's kind of a small space, but we're not huge TV watchers. So it's not going to be a big deal. This is our old couch from the old house. It doesn't really fit this space. Obviously stuff is not, this is not how it's supposed to be. You don't have tripods and all boxes and everything. That is kind of, yeah, you're used to seeing that, huh? No comment. Okay. Got a couple more projects I'm going to be working on. On this deal. And if you remember Stephanie's office, it's kind of, it kind of looks the same as far as like the way she had it, but a little bit more space for her in here. She is a dietitian certified now by the state of Texas. So she's been doing her practice. You're still open for business, right? I'm still open for business. So she's been doing her deal working. And this right here is going to be baby's room. Baby's room who you do not know the name of yet. But we already got some, some pampers rolling in. And I'm going to go ahead and say the baby has a great room. Baby has probably the best room in the house when you look out. It's just trees. Look at all that tree-ness out there for baby. He or she is going to be looking at lots of birds, lots of wildlife and that's the reason I love it. Because I get to just stare at nature every day. By the way y'all, we are planning gender reveal video as we speak right now. We're going to do it on this channel. So you can check that out very soon. I'm not going to show you the boarding bathroom stuff. You know, this is just to get the general gist of the house and why we like it and why we're here and everything. This isn't like MTV Cribs or anything. But this room up here on the upstairs is really I think everyone's favorite room. My parents live really close to here. One of the reasons we wanted to move right here is because it's so close to my mom and dad. And for raising our family really helps to have family close. So this is actually my mom's favorite room. This is going to be my favorite room when we get done. It just looks out over the trees. This is kind of how it is around the whole house. You just look out and you see trees everywhere. But there's basically nothing in here right now. I've been doing my editing over there. We're going to put deer heads up on the walls. Yes, we are. This is going to be like the little... I'm going to come in here and hold baby. Hold baby. Look at the deer heads. Look at the ducks. Maybe some fish up here on the walls. And read some books about like survival or how to call in deer in the woods, something like that. And then we got our bedroom. It's a bedroom, whatever. Then we also have a little deck out here. This is why we call it the tree house, y'all. Keep saying that, but it's for real. This is on the third deck right here. See how far down that is. And you can actually see the lake. The trees are really growing in right now, but the lake is right over there. We'll be able to get down to the water pretty quickly. We're going to be doing a bunch of videos down there. Probably don't want to mess around up here too much. It's a pretty steep fall, but it is a really awesome look at the trees, all the nature. Got the birds and squirrels coming up here. I really like this space because I could just come out of the bedroom, get me a cup of free-range coffee, get in tune with nature, get ready to start day, you know, get that nature zen going on. That's what it's all about, man. Enjoying the great outdoors and now it's right out our back door. So it's awesome. So now that I've kind of showed you the boring stuff, I want to show you guys where you're going to be seeing a lot of videos. On this channel is for the fishing cave. You know, I've been talking about the fishing cave. You guys send in so much cool stuff. And I've had, I had a garage at the other house. I could not fit all of your stuff. So now if we go downstairs, it's really dark down here because it's a basement. But this is going to be, don't pay too much attention to what it looks like now because it's going to be transformed into the bass cave. The fishing cave. This is going to be it. It's got a little spare bedroom and stuff like that. There's a bed right here for right now. One of the fishing fruits is going to be coming down. So we got, we got some extra beds and stuff to stay with us. And we already have a little company. If you guys remember my old office, I had my desk in there and I kind of had some mounts and stuff going on with some, you know, I had all my camera gear and all that. That's still going to be the same. We're going to do that over on this side and then this side right here is going to be just totally transformed. This is going to be a huge wood wall. I'm going to do some projects in here. I'm going to take you guys along to show you all that stuff. But fish mounts, we're going to do a bunch of different, just outdoor fishing, hunting, everything outdoors in here. It's going to be a big giant wall. And I want to get a really cool wooden table and put it right in here and have, you know, my fishing memorabilia there and have you guys' stuff in here, the things that you've sent in and just have an outdoor creation room. So I'll be able to make a lot more videos with a really cool background. It'll be really sweet. So that's going to be a huge project and I'll take you guys along for that. But I'm so excited to have that, you know, in our older house. I just, I didn't have the space to be able to do it. I'll be doing a lot of live streams and extra fun stuff down here. It's going to be full of fish, man. It's going to be a cool fish cave. So right when we step out the door here, this is underneath the deck and then look right here. You guys know what that is. That's a silver bullet. Silver bullet is just right out here on the back doorstep. It just makes it super efficient to be able to make outdoor videos come in there and then everything's just an extension of what I'm doing outside. So just my mind's blown really how perfect this place is. Now I know what you guys are thinking. Where are you going to put all your tackle, dude? Where's that going to go? Well, I think I might have a spot out here. So this is the garage area. We've got a lot of work to do in here. The house actually had some foundational issues and things shifted around. And so there's some walls missing. This is a house that has a lot of character, but it's also had a lot of love put into it. It's unique and it comes with its own little problems, but it's really cool at the same time. So there's just an AC handler just hanging out right here in the garage. Maybe put some sponsor stickers on that. Cover that thing up. You know what I mean? But I think I'm going to make this area over here kind of like regular garage stuff and stuff like that. And then this over here is going to be all the fishing stuff. So I've brought all the racks from home. And I think I'm going to do pegboard up. I still got to finish all these walls. So a lot of projects left to do, but this will be like that tackle cave that you guys were used to seeing in the other garage except bigger. I got so much tackling. So much of it is at my dad's right now. I was like, Dad, let us stay here. I'll give you unlimited tackle, whatever you want. Rods, reels, lures, he gets access to whatever, but he's still got a ton of it. So that's basically it. This is an old lake lodge community. There's a lot of cabins and stuff around here. And we absolutely love it. I think it's so perfect for me and Stephanie and our baby to be able to raise our kid up in the outdoors in the woods. I got so many great memories of just playing in the creeks and climbing trees and all that fun stuff. So it's going to be great. There is a play set already over there. It's going to be a while until said baby is able to play on that. So I'm not sure if we're going to keep that in or not, but it is a pretty nice play set. It's just, it's really colorful. I think it's like crayons or something. Doesn't take very long at all when you start walking through the yard to get deep into the woods. Like I can already tell you we're going to be doing battle with creatures out here, with ants, with bugs, with all kinds of squirrels, possums, raccoons. There's hogs and stuff that live back there. So we will be dealing with that. Should make for some good content though. The rolling has begun. They already smell amazing. I know. They're so delicate. Don't they smell good already? It's incredible. There's nothing better to go into a new house than OSG in the kitchen, making them singiman rolls. Lots of you covered up that baby bump right there. That apron style. Oh yeah. Don't want to get the belly full of power. We're going to be chowing. This is definitely how we're going to be finishing this video. I don't know how long this takes, but in the meantime, I've got a story to tell the fishing breaks. Oh yeah, I haven't told them yet. It's been hell to get to this point, but I know we're supposed to be in this house. My dad actually found it. He was driving around different neighborhoods. You know, he knew we were looking for houses, and this wasn't very far away. He spotted it, and it hadn't gone to the main market yet. And then Stephanie just sees it, and she's like, oh my gosh, I like this, and just walks right on in. And she's like, you guys doing a home tour? And they're like, well, we kind of not really. And she just starts walking in and touring the place. And we're like, man, this has got just the combination of everything we like. It's an older home. And so it was built, I think, the year I was born. So it's pretty old. The couple that had it, they really put a lot of effort into it to make it what it is today. But anyway, we were able to talk to the couple that own the house. And we just automatically had a connection with them. I didn't know how deep that really went until we started talking a little bit more. And then we go to move into the house. I come to find out that they had started watching our videos. They found out about Willis. And the wife, she had a brain tumor as well. And she almost died in a car accident. She had a seizure, like the doctors were saying. I would have if I didn't have my tumor removed. And that's how she found out about it. Right away, we had that connection. And I was like, oh my gosh, you know, this is crazy. Because even before that, they felt like we were the couple that were supposed to move in to this house. So I just know, I feel that we are supposed to be here. I feel like God places here. This is where we're supposed to be. Raise our family and grow this channel. It is amazing to wake up every day and feel that. Right? Absolutely. Why are you standing over there? I don't know. I don't know where you want me to stand. She's acting like this is a solo. You just go in here and do that on the camera. No, I shouldn't be saying that with you right here. This is where we're supposed to raise our family. So we've both had that 100% conviction. And if you also haven't figured out why it's called the tree house, then... We can't help you there. I can't help you. We just time lapsed forward. There was no time lapse. We'll be lapsed forward. We did. Well... Oh my gosh, it smells amazing. Is that icing? That is the icing. Don't burn yourself now. Oh. Don't burn those gentle little arms. Put the icing on when they're nice and hot. So it just melts. Smells like home. It smells like home. This is it now. It does. It's official. My baby making the house feel right. Got to love it. Goodness gracious. Do you have this recipe available? I'm sure people are going to ask for it. Yeah, it's on my blog. It's on the blog. She's an old school kind of girl. She does blogs. So I can have all my recipes up there. But it's there forever. It's out on the internet. You too can make these kind of things, but you got to put some love in it. Man, I can't wait to shout out on that. This is it. You know how you have to break a champagne bottle on a boat, on a ship when it's official? Here at the Rackley household. At the tree house. We make cinnamon rolls to make the house official. So I think this is only going to happen once because I think we're going to be here a really, really long time. But anyway, that's how we did it. Like, hey anniversary cinnamon rolls. Hey, birthday cinnamon rolls. Hey, just caught a nine pounder cinnamon rolls. When was the first time that I made these? Yeah, the first time we were married. Yeah. Yeah, that's only for once. Yeah, it was our first Saturday and we were like, you know what, let's just make those cinnamon rolls. Let's just let's just chill in the new house. Let's soak it in. And it was great. And it really made the house feel like a home. And this, this is what this is. Let's make a house feel like a home. Gonna put a little milk on that right there. Oh my goodness. I'm going to have to go for a nice long walk after this. We're going to grab us a glorious cinnamon roll and LFD and mom, they're on their way over here. They found us a furniture cabinet for three dollars. A furniture cabinet? That's probably what it's called. It's an arm wire. An arm wire. Arm wire. Whatever. However you say that. It's time. It's time. Cinnamon roll dance, cinnamon roll dance. No, go for the center tomorrow. That's key. It's key when you're cinnamon roll eating. You go for the center on the next day. You eat the crusty ones while they're still hot and gooey. Because it continues to cook. Okay. Camera guy back there. Oh, yes. Science. I should bring that up. I know a lot of y'all are crafted well trained. I don't know about trained, but maybe you're just good at crafting things. We've got some amazing stuff. Winston is going to have his own little artwork in this house as well that you guys have sent in. We're looking to keep this place as natural as possible, but also bring out some of the park-like elements that are here. A lot of stuff with wood. I want to do some park signs and stuff like that. So I'll give you more details on that later, but I know some of you guys are awesome. I want to feature some of your work here at the house and give you credit for it. Because I know some of you guys are going to send that in. And we are going to reopen the P.O. box. P.O. box. Can we list it here right now? I don't have the number. But it is open. Will you have it tomorrow? I will have it tomorrow. There's a lot to take in right here. I know this is a big video, but P.O. box is being reopened. Okay. Let's just stick to the cinnamon rolls right now. Uniform throughout there. Ugh. Wow. That's better than the last one. Oh my gosh. I'm a lucky man. Look at the gooeyness. Look at the uniform. Cinnamon-ness throughout. It's perfectly amazing with a glass of milk. Thank you so much, honey. You're welcome. God, those cinnamon rolls were good. Filled me through the rest of the unpacking day. We still got a lot left to do. But it's going well, guys. Can't thank you enough for all the support, all the positivity through this whole entire last year to get to this point right now. Made it. Just feels so amazing. So if you guys want to see more of this, we're going to be doing more cooking, fixing up the house, basically just stuff out here and nature in the woods around the lake.
