We had lots of help, ranging from less than 1 to 60. Elly Rain was a super helper.
It was probably the hottest day so far of the year, and we got started around 10. Maybe should have started a little earlier....Here is Mat, Adam, and Chris lifting the heavy stuff.
When we first moved out from our parents house, Jay and I moved in together. We took a picture just like the one below the day we moved in. We re-created the pic pretty well I would say. If I find the original pic I will scan it in.
My girlfriend Genna and her kiddo Kalaya needed to vacate their house for the day so that her husband could sleep. She offered to take a load up to the new place. I think she did know what she was getting herself into, that is a true friend! :)
Well our schedule got a little mixed up. For some reason, I thought it would only take an hour to load up the 3 trucks and 2 trailers, my car, and Gennas car. WHOOPS! It took about 2ish hours. I had given the Bowens a time frame that was totally wrong. They beat us to the house by like an hour and a half....So they went to lunch and were there when the caravan drove up to help receive all the stuff.
Uncle Brian was a great help to the boys who had already been warmed up from the midday sun.
Kim unloaded much of the kitchen with some help from Ashton.
Mat always has some time for goofing with the kiddos.
I think Jay should be having her hand on Genna's belly, nothings in mine except lunch!! :)
Oh Adam, Adam, Adam. He stopped and picked up some sort of beverage on the way from the old casa to the new one. I had to document this cup of his.....
Chris couldn't wait to get his hands on the weed-eaters. Our insurance people were coming out the next day and he really wanted to pass the test.
Arthur didn't seem to have any problems fitting in.
Our neighbor Ron, Dave's dad came over with Kim and brought pizza. I was planning on making semi-homemade pizzas (ok, a little LOCO for moving day, I will admit...), so we welcomed the pizza gesture! Before they got there, Dave assembled our new kitchen table, and the girls enjoyed running around in a pretty empty house. (We deposited most of the boxes in the bedrooms.)
Michelle and her sister in law stopped by, great to see you!
Wynter and Kim finished the kitchen off! Whew!
Oh, these are just some beautiful babes I literally can't get enough of! They were wrastling on the futon.
Elise doing her goofy face.
The zoned out watching a movie faces are so cute.
After they left, Chris and I took their places on the couch! THANK YOU to all who helped! We couldn't have done it without you! We really appreciate all of your time and effort. It was a hot, fun, tiring blast!
