Not to Brag...

but I happen to be married to the most a-mazing guy in the whole world! Check out what he built for us today:


A whole closet system complete with hardwood floor. Don't be jealous.

Our tree is about 9 1/2-10 feet tall. The boys decorated it tonight. As you can see, most of the decorations are within the bottom 4 feet of the tree!

Jasen and Hunter's Room

Cahl and I finally got Jasen and Hunter's room done this weekend. We went down to Lowe's last weekend, and they have all their wallpaper on clearance. So we let Jasen pick some out (skateboards) and we got some paint and all the supplies. And we got it painted and wallpapered this weekend. So their room is done now. And they both love it! Now all they need is some new bedding.

Black Friday

This year we decided to forgo the usual Black Friday madness and went hunting... for a Christmas tree. We have had a fake tree for the last 3 years (while we were renting) but decided that now that we have our own house, we wanted to get a real tree. So we loaded the boys up early this morning and drove up to Caliente. We got our tree tag and headed up the in the mountains. It wasn't long before we found the perfect tree, and down it came. After we got the tree loaded, we did some target practice with a few of the guns we had brought with us. We set some clay targets up in some far bushes, and Tristan and Jasen took some turns shooting them with a 410 shotgun and a little 22 rifle. Jasen has never been shooting before, so Cahl helped him hold the gun and aim and Jasen got to pull the trigger. He had a lot of fun. Tristan has been shooting several times before, so he can do it himself. He is a really good shot, very accurate. I was very impressed with him. Cahl and I also took a few turns tossing the clays up in the air for each other. Of course, Cahl is a great shot. I had never shot anything out of the air before, but I actually hit most all of them. After that, we headed home. We've got the tree set up now, and I will post pictures of it when we get it decorated. It was a really fun day, and I wish I had some photos to share!

Happy Thanksgiving!


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful day stuffed with food, family, friends and fun!
