Dying Easter Eggs

Here are some pictures of the kids dying eggs for Easter.

The finished product.

Wyatt is so proud.

Busy working.

Wyatt wasn't quite sure what to think. Why were we putting eggs in juice?

He thought it was to eat.

Casa Bonita

Last time we were down in Denver. My mom didn't want to make dinner so she asked if we wanted to go to Casa Bonita. We had a great time. The kids love that place and Wyatt was just fascinated with it. Thanks Grandma.

Mylie broke the piñata again!!

Wyatt enjoying the show.

Our First Visitors

This past weekend we had our first visitors up here in Leadville. Breanne and Ben came to visit us. We had such a great time showing them around our little town and explore new things with them. We went up to Cooper Mountain and Frisco in the morning and then in the afternoon we went to downtown Leadville and walked around all the fun shops. We also went exploring and found some really fun camp grounds that as you will see in the pictures are still covered in a lot of snow. It was a beautiful day. Both Friday and Saturday night we stayed up late visiting and playing games. It was so great to have them here. My kids were so bummed they had to leave. We hope to have more visitors soon.

Snowboarding

Today Mat took Mylie and Andrew snowboarding for the first time. They went to Ski Cooper which is only about 10 minutes from our house. Wyatt and I meet them up there for lunch and took some fun videos and pictures. They had a great time!

Mylie and Andrew going up the ski lift. This may look easy but on a snowboard it is not.
It was a beautiful day for snowboarding. They definitely want to go back again. Next time I hope I get to go with them.

Mat's Commute and Office View

This is what I see all 12 minutes of my commute to work.

This is the mine. I work in the grey building on the left side of the pic.

This is the view from my office window. That is Mount Lincoln (+14K feet).

This is looking slightly to the right. Mine is the third truck from the right.

This is a pic from my truck up at the window I work out of. My window is the first one on the left (not those little ones).
