Hitching Up With The Heasleys

It’s been a busy week! Last Sunday we moved into the RV, and Monday we closed on our house. I think it was possibly the most stressful day of my life. We left way more stuff in the house than we thought and spent the entire day getting everything out!









Here are some pictures of the kids playing at the play area. This was in the middle of the RV Park and included a basketball court, volley ball court, tether ball, a sand area with sand toys.

It was a bit chilly the first few days in the RV. Hence the coats, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the outdoors!

Mini Pooch found the perfect spot in the RV for sunbathing! She loves the sun!








Wednesday was Sweetie Girl’s last day at her homeschool group and she had her awards ceremony for her 2^nd year of Awana. Little Man got an award for his first year of Awana! They were super excited about getting their awards! They’re sad they have to wait until fall to start again.

Here are some pictures of the kids room. Here you can see Sweetie Girl's bed and Baby Boy's bed. There is a storage space under Baby Boy's bed.

Here's a picture with the garage door, their toy bin and a basket of books.

Here's Little Man's bed and two of our storage bunks. The bottom bunk has plastic bins for the kids clothes, some toy storage and a fan that was moved to the living room now that we're parked for a few weeks. The middle bunk has book storage, another drawer for clothes, shoe storage and bean bag storage when they're not being used.

Here are the boys playing with water at the RV Park in Colorado.

Here's Baby Boy asking me what I wanted for lunch! They were bringing me shovels full of rocks and serving me breakfast, lunch and dinner! 

Friday morning, we woke up, loaded a bunch of our stuff and left Colorado. We spent the night at a rest area just east of Amarillo. Yesterday we drove across TX and landed at an RV park in East TX.

 Here's our last view of Pikes Peak before leaving Colorado Springs!

This is how Mini Pooch spends her time when we travel! She loves to nap on my lap when ever she's in a vehicle. She is the easiest dog to travel with as long as she can be in someones lap! 

The kids eating a snack in the car. They got all sorts of special snacks and treats that they don't get on a regular basis.

Entering New Mexico from Raton Pass. The big sign was blocked by a semi, so I'm glad I snap this quick shot of the little sign on an overpass! 

Here's the sign as we entered Texas! I may have grown up in Michigan, but Texas is where I consider home! Texas is where almost all of the major events in my life have taken place! We got married in Michigan, but we met and lived in Texas before and after we got married.   Sweetie Girl, Little Man and Baby Boy were all born in Texas. Mini Pooch and Gigantor Dog were both born in Texas as well. 

Gigantor Dog had to get as close to us as he could on our drive. Here he is sleeping sitting up, so he could be close to me! 

Sunday, we had a family get together to celebrate Mother’s Day! The kids got reacquainted with their cousins and had a blast! We all had a wonderful time with The Hubs family. We hadn’t seen his brother and his family in almost 3 years. Baby Boy was just 2 months old when we moved to Colorado and he will be 3 this summer. 

 Here's Baby Boy playing with his cousin before we ate dinner! 

 Here's our first complete family picture probably since Baby Boy was born! The kids had a blast playing together! 

Monday, The Hubs spent the whole day helping his dad get their jeep ready for their summer of traveling. The kids and I got to spend most of the day with Grandma! I also got a chance to workout. We had dinner together and this was my view from the breakfast bar on my in-laws patio! You should be jealous! 

Tuesday, we spend the day getting stuff organized, doing laundry and taking things to storage.

I drove into town and there’s basically a whole new town attached to the south part! They’ve added so much!

Yesterday was my birthday! We had a relaxing day at the RV. The Hubs made me biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I worked out my lower body, abs and went for a 20 minute run. A month and a half ago, I would have died and told anyone who suggested doing that much that they were crazy! Honestly, when The Hubs suggested adding a 20 minute run, I thought he was nuts. After I did The Betty Rockers: Make Fat Cry 30 Day Challenge, I'm in so much better shape than I've be since high school! I felt great after my workout and had enough energy to do more if I had wanted. If you're interested in trying out a free 30 day fitness challenge, here's the link: http://makefatcrychallenge.com

Last night we gave the boys haircuts! Baby Boys hair was just too long for the Texas heat and was drenched in sweat almost all day. So, he got a drastic buzz and I'm still getting use to it! He looks like a completely different child! After they got their haircut, they played with chalk until it was time to get washed up for bed.

Today, I took the kids to a local park and they had a blast playing! I love this park because it's huge, but it's fenced in and there is only 1 entrance/exit, so there isn't as much worry of the kids wandering off and me not seeing them! There were so many different things for them to play on!

 Tonight we celebrate my birthday with our family! I'm excited for an excuse to get everyone together! My birthday is the first birthday in the RV, we've got Sweetie Girls at the end of the month. Then several in July.

I'll work on getting more pictures of the rest of the RV, our site. I'll also be working on a post about what it has been like adjusting to the RV. If there's anything you want more information about, just leave a comment!
