Camp trailer

I GOT A NEW TOY!! I'm so exited to have this!! I have wanted a camp trailer for the longest time and I finally found this beauty on craigslist.


 I'm such a cheapy and try to bargain shop everything, This camera was posted for $1800. We went and checked it out and got them down to $500! I was thrilled. It is definitely old and nothing fancy but I have big plans on making her beautiful! 
Her are some pictures of inspiration I have found online! 







 This is what I have to work with....






The plans for now are to:
-Paint interior and exterior
-new lights
-new cushions
-new curtains
-fix plumbing
-replace propane tanks
-rewire lights 
-stock with camping gear

This is going to be the never ending project!! Seriously... I have already put over 30 hours into this. Just tearing down wall paper and painting and cleaning and I am no where near done:( But I am certainly enjoying it and we are going camping this week to break her in. I can't wait! I will keep you posted on the progress of the transformation!

Tough Mudder

We finally did our race!! It was so much fun and we survived! The race was definitely challenging and LONG (12+ miles) but was so much fun. Im so glad we did it. 
It was really fun to have something to train for. I love to exercise but if i have something to work toward I will push myself a lot harder.
 Here are a few pics. I tried to steal some from online but I think they are to small blurry to see really well. 




Katie is the best!! Her and her hubby ran with us and made it so much fun. She is the nicest person I have ever met and so much fun to be around.  Glad she was there to keep me smiling through the 4 hours of race.

All Boy

Mr Cooper is 100% boy!! His day consists of playing with balls, throwing everything, playing with anything that resembles a tool. He LOVES anything that has an engine, tractors, 4 wheelers, lawn mowers, cars. One day I had tilled the garden up and Cooper thought was the coolest thing ever. He held on to the tiller for probably over an hour making a motor noise. lol
My new favorite thing is he is getting to be more cubbley, I love it!! He will rest his head on me if he is tired or scared. It usually last only a second but it is seriously priceless. 





Oh how did I for get to talk about his cell phone obsession!! He is seriously obsessed with electronics!Its not even funny. He knows that I won't give him my phone but he asked anyone that has a phone. Even random people at the store. And then when its time for them to got it back he will through the biggest tantrum ever!! I need to put a sign an him that say, "DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR PHONE!!!" 
Its so funny if he does end up finding my phone. I always know because he get super quite and I can usually find him hiding in some corner of the house:)  I always take it away and he always crys. Poor kid:) I even gave him my old cell phone when I got a new one. Nope he knows! He played with it for like a day.
