Got Dirt?
And so the we got dirt. Prepping our pad and layout for concrete was soo fun. Mainly because it all felt like it was happening so fast. We had lots of help from my dad, which made this all that much more special. How cool is it that when Kayden grows up I get to tell him that his Dad and Abuelo helped build his home?!

Although my excitement was through the roof, I honestly thought this process (the layout, dirt work, concrete, framing) was the hardest part of building and boy was I wrong! :) I am finding out that everything after, especially as we get closer to the end, is where it gets tricky, at least for us. My brother in law would often remind me that “if you can build together, you can stay together,” and if that ain’t the truth!
I have to admit, my most favorite part of our building process has been watching Kayden embrace his land. Since he was tiny we knew he was going to be and outdoor-sy baby because he LOVED being outside, no matter what his eczema said. Any time we are on our land, his socks and shoes are off and he is 10 toes deep in dirt playing monster trucks or dinosaurs. This is how I want Kayden to remember his childhood!
