Garage Box and Homemade CrossFit Equipment

So I got the 10 foot posts into the ground 2 feet and then poured the cement. I now have a pull up bar outside and supported by some heavy duty bolts. Now I can get my ass outside and work on some of the things that I need to work on.

I quickly figured out that if I wanted to get more PR's I was going to have to find a way to get some squats going and since my cleaning the bar technique isn't that great I needed to find a way to get that bar on the post.

Added extra long and thick hex bolts at an angle and deep enough to hold the bar. Now I'm not up to the super heavy weights yet so the two bolts are holding the bar fine.....FOR NOW..

Homemade pull up bar with squats rack pins

My dumbass even made sure they were level.

Gas Pipe used for a Pull up bar

Custom Nano's along with pasty white hairy legs.

Bumper Plates

Kettleball and Homemade Box

Along with notebook

Street.

I dont care what the neighbors think.

Maybe they need to get out here and WOD with me instead of just staring at me.

Sleet, Flurries, Rain or Shine...

My ass is Wod'ing at anytime.

Anyone can CrossFit!

Kiss The Baby

T and I met the summer of 1999 and she took one look at me and knew she was in love. I really think that the Florida sun may have gotten to her a little bit but I am so lucky to have met her and I don't care how it happened. We got married in April of 2000 and have been growing stronger as a team ever since. As corny as the saying is from the movie Jerry Maguire "You complete me" it is so true. T and I are so different that we often don't see eye to eye but that is what make us so great together. I stink at math and she is a wiz, I have a temper and hardly any patience and she is the voice of reason.

I work long and hard so T can do what she loves most and that is be a stay at home mom and a teacher to our children. I could go on and on about how great she is...but if you know her then you already know that.

Mommy T, aka the wife and the mommy. I love her with all my heart, and I am so glad that we don't go on wife swap because I am worried I would lose her. She is the best mommy around. T believes in Natural Parenting, breastfeeding and making organic baby food. She is also my accountant, master chef, organizational queen, doctor, nurse and the best back shaver hands down. Fell in love with the idea of homeschooling our children she has done a wonderful job so far with C1 and is ready to tackle the rest of the C's. As a photographer and a blogger she uses the little spare time she has to document our C's and the wild ride we go on everyday. Most recently she has become a coupon clippin' fool, saving us hundreds of $$$$ everytime she goes shopping. And just to show how much SHE loves ME, she did not miss the chance to be at my vasectomy appointment. Thats love! That is my T. "You are in my heart"

Being the oldest of the 4 C's, C 1 has accepted the role of being the BIGGEST brother to the other 3 C's. My long, curly haired, blue eyed boy is very creative and loves music, as well as art and reading. Always there to lend a helping hand and teach his brothers and sister things. His love of movies helps his imagination and I often catch him acting things out that he has seen and or read. You can sometimes find him outside flying around the driveway on his scooter that he got for his 6th birthday, and he is learning new tricks everytime. C 1 sometimes gets a raw deal from me because he is so smart and I feel he is smarter than his age, I alot of time forget that he is only six and I put alot on him to much for a 9 yr. old. A little me is what I see in him, a joke teller, silly, and always acting crazy. Growing older has not stopped him from being the sweet, caring, sensitive boy that he started out as. I love you my "Big Buddy"

Never to be outdone as the second born C 2 has his own role on our team. Whenever I think of C 2, I think of a middle linebacker like Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears. Strong, powerful, quick, hard hitting and relentless. Those are all qualities that C 2 has. While that being said, he also has the softest and sweetest personality. He does not like to be without his big brother C 1, and when they are apart he is quick to get back to him. Ask him about his little sister and you probably won't like what you hear but don't be fooled cause he can also be found playing with her off in another room and having fun. C 2 loves to play soccer, and ride his scooter also. My long brown haired, brown eyed boy could be a double for a young Tarzan. With bruises and bumps and scrapes trying to hold him back his strong will and never give up attitude are what makes him who he is....The "C 2-I-Nater"

My little Princess C 3 is now 6 but she is already showing sings that she is a mini-T. Having me wrapped around her little finger like her mom does. My only daughter has grown up so fast while trying to keep up with her two older brothers and she is by far the toughest of the 4 C's. Her beautiful blue eyes and light brown curly hair always draw attention and envy. The quote "Anything you can do I can do better" applies to my Princess. She also has the same strong willed personality as C 2 and maybe that is why they butt heads so often. C 3 loves to go outside and fly down the driveway on her hot wheels and also go out on the jump-o-lene. I know I have a long time comming on this or at least I hope and pray that I do, but boys of the world hear me now....You mess with C 3, you won't have to deal with me or her brothers....you will have to deal with HER! Tim McGraw's song "My Little Girl" is how I see me and her. This 6 year old going on 13 C 3 will always be "My Little Girl"

As he will probably be labeled forever as the "Baby" C 4 who is a little older than 3 years old now has shown that he is a happy, easy going lovable child. Born with a full head of almost black hair and brown eyes, he has lost most of it and now it is growing back dark brown and the eyes are blue. Among things that C 4 loves, um let's see....boobs, mommy, clean diapers, sleeping, baths, and more boobs..(T's and no one else's). He loves to watch the other 3 C's play and run around and have fun. I can see it in his eyes that he just can't wait to mix it up with them. I love on Saturday's and Sunday's when I have football on and he sits with me and watches it with THIS DADDY. He likes it when T put's on the carrier (anyone of the 12 we have) and carts him around. He is such a big boy and has a few teeth and even though T dosn't want him to yet, I think he is about to start crawling. C 4 will have 3 older siblings to learn from and they all love him so much and can't wait to teach him things and share stuff with him. So in the future we will see if he follows the footsteps of C 1, C 2 & C 3 or if he bulldozes his own path. Might be last but never least and always a beast. Love you lots C 4.
