Coat Rack

We needed to make a tool that would help make exact cuts multiple times. Thomas came up with this out of scrapes that he had around.   

He is now cutting slots for the hooks of the coat rack. He did this on all four sides of a 4x4 post.



This is the finished product. It took about 2 hours to make. It is nice and strong.



Now the boys have a great place to hang their coats so that they are not laying on the floor. The coats are handy to grab on the way out the door. 

Santa

We went to the main street carpet store to see Santa. The boys were excited.

 

 

Seth has a long list of things that he wants for Christmas. Santa told him he would do his best to make him happy on Christmas Eve.

 

 

Carter could only remember one thing that he wants, so Santa is sure he can bring it to him for Christmas.

 

 

We were not sure how Keenan would do with Santa but he was happy to sit on Santa's lap. He would not open his eyes for the picture. He did not have anything to ask Santa for.

 

 

Merry Christmas!!! 

Christmas Tree Hunt

We went out the Saturday after Thanksgiving to hunt for our Christmas Tree. We took Grandpa Jenson with us because he is the best tree finder. 

We walked around for about an hour looking at all the trees. We saw a lot of little trees that would be perfect for the future. We cleared some of the sage brush away from them so that they have a little more room to grow. This is the tree we decided to cut down and bring home. 

All of the boys got down and helped Thomas cut down the tree. They all love helping Dad. It was a great adventure. 

BYU Football VS Savannah State

 

 We bought tickets to the Savannah state football game early in the season and hope that the weather would be wonderful. We had been watching the weather all week and knew just what to expect. We were prepared.

 

It rained on us while we ate our lunch so the canopy kept us all dry.  We were able to heat up hotdogs and enjoyed hot chocolate.

 

 

Keenan fell asleep as we walked back to the church parking lot after the Cougar walk. During the game the weather was nice. It sprinkled on us a little. We were almost to warm with all our layers. After the game was over the rain really came. We were happy that it waited until after the game.  We did not let the rain stop us from having a great time.

Homemade Camo

 

Thomas has been wanting to find some desert camo. He was unable to find anything that he liked or wanted to pay for.  He decide to make his own. He went to DI and found tan colored clothes and painted them himself. He cut out different camo shapes. Then places them on the fabric one at a time and spray painted over them. He is super excited to us his new camo to hunt coyotes.  

Halloween

 

We had a great Halloween. Seth and Keenan were both Ninjas. Seth added vampire teeth and was a vampire ninja. Carter was Frankenstein. It is the same costume that he wore last year. It is great that it still fit.   

Painted Pumpkins

 

Our boys love to paint their pumpkins.

 

 

 Seth was the first one done. He new exactly what he wanted to do. His is Ninjago. Who is a Lego character that fights Nindroids.  

 

 

Keenan and Carter could have painted all night. They kept wanting different colors. We had to make them stop so that their pumpkins had some color and were not just brown by mixing all the colors.

 

 

When Keenan was finished he kept saying Nice, Nice. He was very proud for his pumpkin.
