Nov Recap

November has come and gone. What can I say happened this month? We have continued to work on our new deck. Grandpa is going to be so glad when it is done.

We hosted our first Thanksgiving at our house this year. We had Lee’s family for Dinner. (Grandpa and Grandma Carlton, Kee, Steph, and Holland, and Kee’s Brother.) After dinner the boys, and Tiffany went and shot off the rockets that they received and build at Easter. Key brought a bunch of engines, so they were able to launch each rocket at least 5 times. Fun was had by all.

On black Friday, I of course worked. The Family went on their annual outing to the Spiral Jetty on the Great Salt Lake. They had late lunch and watched the sunset.

We hope all is well with everyone and hope the Holidays are good to you. Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

2nd Annual Day After Thanksgiving Spirial Jetty Trip

The Spiral Jetty is an interesting formation that some dude with too much money and too much time built on the North East side of The Great Salt Lake. It is about 11 miles down a dirt road from the Promontory Point visitors center which is about 30 miles West of Brigham City. It is about a 2 hour drive from our home and there is almost never a crowd.

Don't forget to the pics form last year, I posted them in August. What a difference a year makes!!! Last year it was almost completely under water.

34 degrees and a 30-40 mph wind coming off the Lake. These two didn't need their coats...

All the white is Salt not Snow

Eating Lunch behind a Big Rock. It was the only place out of the wind we could find.

Last year the center of the Spiral was almost completely under water. This year there is no water within 25 yards of the whole formation.

Last Ute Home Game 2007

Another Cold (68 degrees) November Saturday at the Football Game...

I did win $100.00 and got on the Jumbo-Tron, not for the hair, but because I had the correct credit card.

Grandpa, still wearing BYU blue "because it has a pockett"... If you need Christmas Ideas he needs a RED t-shirt with a pocket!!!


I like Taylor's Shadow on my chest.

Winter Coats

With all of the cold winter days we are starting to have it is important that the kids have warm coats to wear...

The Deck is comming along

The framing is almost done, but now that it is getting darker and colder earlier it is not as easy to see the progress. If it wasn't for Grandpa and his tools this would never have happened!
