Guns & Motorcycles

On Thursday, December 29th, Brent, Perry, Mitchell, Grant & I headed out to Sycamore Creek to ride motorcycles and shoot guns. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. Our first item of business was to get Perry riding the 80. The most difficult part of riding this bike is starting it and then get going. It's easy to stall when you take off.

Perry did great riding the bike. She didn't crash!

Our next order of business was to have Grant ride the 80 and shift into 2nd gear. He does just fine in 1st gear but it's tricky to shift to 2nd. Mitchell took him out to ride to the summit. This was Grant's first experience going up and down hills. He didn't crash so we will call it a success!

Mitchell loves to go out riding. Brent and Mitchell took off and rode out to Sycamore Creek and were able to play in the stream for a short amount of time.

Here is a short video of all of our bikers!

In between rides in the desert, we took turns shooting my new 22 pistol. It's louder than I thought it would be. The boys and Perry also shot the BB guns and 22 rifle.

Perry and I had enough fun in the desert to last us a while. However, the boys are anxious to go back and play some more.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning at the Jensen's.

Brent & I after church.

Grant and his best friend, Max.

Mitchell & Perry.

Max was the first one to open gifts from his stocking. He loved all of his treats. He immediately took one of the Oinkies, ran to the couch and chewed on it.

Last June I purchased this desk & cabinet at a yard sale in Flagstaff with Sarah & Jacque for $30. It need some repair work done in order to put it together. I asked Brent to finish it for me for Christmas. Here it is! I love it!

Grant asked for the "clapper" for Christmas. He doesn't want to get up and turn off his bedroom light. He is so funny :0

Brent was eyeing Michael's impact drill the last time we were in Kingman. Now he has one of his own and is very happy! Perry received a pink BB gun from Mitchell. She is dangerous now!

Mitchell & Grant both received lots of pellets for their airsoft guns...

hidden inside the pellets were little air soft guns...

and they also received BIG air soft guns. Later that day, Grant, Mitchell & Perry were running through the neighborhood shooting at each other. I wasn't invited to play with them because I received a REAL gun. Brent gave me a 22 pistol. (I think that is what it is. I don't know anything about guns.) You should be afraid of me now! :)

Mitchell saved a special gift for last. Perry wanted to open it the entire morning, but Mitchell made her wait. She hates waiting. However, she was thrilled with the heart shaped pendant necklace that was inside.

Mitchell's last gift from Brent was a helmet camera. Now Mitchell can record what he sees as he rides dirt bikes in the desert. I'm sure he will get some intense footage!

After we unwrapped presents, we got ready for family to come over for Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful Christmas day!
