WE FOUND SOME HIDDEN TREASURES

I think you guys should tell our friends what you guys did tonight. No? Simon, come here, let me see the side of your head. Let me see the side of your head. You didn't do that? Here, turn it a little bit like this. Can you guys see those bald spots all over? Oh my gosh, Simon. Oh my goodness, Cohen has them on the back of his head. What happened? Simon was yelling at me, but then I said, no, no, don't do it, but she just said, look. And you did it? Yeah. So what did he use? What was that? We don't want to tell you. Well, you don't want to tell me? Nothing. You just did it with your hands? Yeah. Or was it with a razor in the shower? You guys took it out and you shaved your heads. I can't believe you did that. Will you ever do that again? It was a shower. Okay, today is finally the day we are decluttering the garage. Everything that we have been throwing out, we usually don't have a truck here, so we just kind of throw it in the garage and we're like, hey, let's take this to the dump. We have like all these different piles. And then eventually, it just, stuff starts piling on top of everything and then we don't know what goes where. So today we're gonna finally take care of this and finally get this garage in order. So we'll show you guys a little bit. Sneak peek of before. I'm gonna find a few treasures in here. I gotta show you something I just found. Oh my, guys, this was supposed to be for all of our guests at our wedding. This was like their, it's like the party favor. Is that what you call it? The wedding favor, whatever. But let's check it out. I haven't even opened it to see what songs are in here. Oh my gosh, you guys, shut up. Okay, here they are. Oh my, we're gonna keep one of these. Maybe a couple. But I'll probably just toss them, I don't know. I don't know what to do with 500 CDs. Something else I just found while out in the garage is this cute little thing. My grandpa actually cut this out for me and I painted it years ago. Usually I have the date on it, but it was probably 10 years ago is when I made this. So what I'm gonna do is, I didn't paint the back side. I think I'm just gonna paint it all white and just make it so it'll match our house so I can still use it. And then that way, I have a cute little gift for my grandpa. I think that'll be really fun to display in the house this Easter. Well, I just got back from Ashley's mom's house and I'm like over the moon excited right now because Ashley's grandpa, as you guys knew, was super into woodworking, right? Well, I didn't know this. I thought that all of his tools were gone, like that he didn't have anything left and we found out he had some stuff left. But it actually turns out it wasn't his. It was his dad's, or not his dad's. Beverly, Ashley's grandma's dad, so Grandpa Nilsen. This is Ashley's great grandpa's woodworking set. So it's a planer and I don't really know what the other thing is, but I know what the planer is because I've used these before. But it's like old antique rustic. It probably weighs close to 400, 450 pounds because Russ and I, like I can squat a lot of weight. Like that's what I'm good at, right? So is Russ. Well, this thing weighs an arm and a leg and then probably six other people. Here it is, you guys. This is the planer. So he custom built like the station that it sits on. I don't know what that is, but I'm gonna figure it out. But how freaking cool is this, you guys? It has the original little emblem tag on it. Chicago, Illinois. This thing is so cool. On a side note, this is a kitchen table I'm building, which this thing is literally just, you guys, it's gonna be so beautiful when I'm finished with it. Like I'm gonna stain this a light gray and then sand it down so the natural wood comes through it. Ah, it's gonna be beautiful. Okay, so I'm not gonna lie, we didn't close out yesterday's vlog. We forgot to vlog some of the things we did last night. So today is technically Ezra's birthday, but I just wanna show you guys before everybody's awake some of the cute things that we did. So all of our kids have had a Dr. Seuss-themed first birthday. And this is the one that we picked for Ezra. Now look at just how cute. If you're familiar with the book, there's hot air balloons everywhere in the book. So this is just the cute decor. I actually got this on Amazon, I'll put a link below. It came with five strands and they're like super long, for like 14 bucks or something. So those are just super cute. And then I have some of the, a few of the snacks, like I said, with this theme. With the pastel theme, it was pretty easy to find stuff for the being Easter. Oh, and this, look how cute. I've had that for years. And then I wanna just take you guys into the garage and show you what we were able to do. We literally took a couple loads to the dump, to the DI, and we have sold a bunch of stuff already. So we got a lot done yesterday. Even my shed is cleaned out. So there is officially nothing in our house right now that does not belong. I know that was a nightmare, like a nightmare. It was so embarrassing. But it was all the stuff we've gotten rid of and just didn't have access to a truck to take. Cause I, you know, I don't wanna take one by one small loads to the DI. I knew that would take me an entire day if we were to do that. So we borrowed a truck from a friend and that just seemed way less time consuming. So I'm glad we were able to do that yesterday. Okay guys, this is so much cleaner. Thomas is working on this table right now with this bench. So that'll be gone, but there's just his tools. He has some more shelves there. All of those cupboards are empty, which is crazy. Same with those, whatever like locker things. You can see we have tons of space here. I actually need to run that box down to the shed. Those are some extra tires for our Mercedes. Some wood for his working, but really you guys, like there is hardly anything left in the garage. We need to take that to my mom. That's her snow blower and we'll put this somewhere probably when we clean that area out. So as you can see, there is walking space. You can actually see the ground in our garage. I never thought the day would come.
