We have always tried to teach the kids about family unity and we have always worked together because well... if you work together you have more time to play! I have always loved watching Thayne work side by side with his kids... he has given them a great work ethic and they have learned to do just about everything because of it. Over the weekend Thayne wanted to get the garage cleaned and organized but knew he needed to get the wood split and stacked before the weather changed. Garrett is always so willing to come out and help with anything so he and Tiffany showed up and Garrett and the little boys went to work
! (They usually have to split it with the ax but our friend has a splitter he let us use and as a mom I am much happier to have them split it this way because I always hold my breath when they are chopping with the ax even though their dad says they are good at it!)
Nate can do it....
Nate loves to be in the middle of the action... and his brothers are sweet that they let him help!
Wyatt stacking the wood....
Garrett, Hyrum, Willie and Wyatt....
Hayden and Garrett hard at work....
Now it's Willie's turn....
Check out the wood... makes for a WARM winter with the wood stove going!
Bummy working hard... he knows just when to lower the blade to split the wood.

We start 'em young around here!!!! It's funny to watch the kids learn how to work before they even realize they are working, they just think they are having fun and hanging out with the family.

Your kids have it easy, when we had to chop the wood, it was with an old fashion axe!! Oh, the good old days.
Oh, they know how to do it the old fashioned way too... we were just able to borrow a friends splitter for the 3 or 4 cords of wood that we had got. Willie and Wyatt both split wood with an ax... but as a mom I far prefer them doing it this way!
Garrett it would sometimes rather split wood with a double jack and a wedge
