What a wonderful World.

On Saturday Ben and the kids and I all went up to the top of Munson Creek. It was a fascinating drive with Phenomenal views. We love to use our wood heat, so then we aren't paying a fortune to heat our home and I just love the feel of the wood heat. It gets kind of expensive though if you can't chop your own wood. ( like last year when we had to buy all of our wood) so either way it costs a lot of money. So this year we wanted to be a little more cost efficient when it came to heating our house for the winter, we got some nice friends that have access to the forest, and a chainsaw, and borrowed a truck(so we could each drive one) and head to chop wood ourselves. Okay so it was a lot more work, but totally worth it. I took tons of great pictures cause I just couldn't resist. Ben thought I was a little bit nuts, but who knows if I would ever make it up there again.

Here are the Briggs and Allysen wondering through the woods.

Briggs is watching Daddy get the chainsaw ready(he was so mad that he couldn't have one too).

The view from where we were.

Ben hard at work logging the forest...just kidding!!

The view from the road. You can see the Air Museum. It is a little to the right in the middle of the photo. It is really rusty.

Satan???

Well it has been a little bit funny lately listening to my 3 year old talk. He loves to talk to himself and if you interrupt, he will say "Hey I am just talking at my self." We just laugh....well anyway I decided that I wanted to make sure that my children knew who they were and where they came from. So one night I laid down with the New Testament scripture reader and started to explain the plan of salvation to my children. It was great they asked questions and I explained everything that I could think of. So when we got to the part about Satan, I explained that he was a very bad guy and that he wants us to be mean and do naughty things. Briggs was totally enthralled. So now he walks round the house telling everyone that is doing something wrong that they are following Satan and that they are going to live in a bad place if they don't be good. Oh geez.....maybe I blew it. I love the fact that he has some reason to be good and he tells me every time I asked him why he did what he did and he says, I was following Satan I don't want to follow him so I will follow Jesus next mom. How cute!!!
