Addition Update

The framers were here this week and rocked out on the addition. We were afraid the house would look weird with the extra space, but now we are thinking it looks more balanced. This is very exciting.

More Bike Riding

The snow has melted again- thanks to the nice weather the kids got to do one of their most favorite activities after dinner...

Ride the Train

For Christmas we got tickets to ride the train here in town, and today we finally got to use them. It was so fun! It was about two hours on the train up to Cascade Canyon for a picnic lunch, then two hours back home. The kids did surprisingly well, and we had fa good time playing tourists in our hometown.

We rode Engine 482...The Animas river up at the canyon...The kids having fun on the train...

Helping Pop

Isaac is crazy about "helping" Pop and Grandpa as they work on our addition. Here he is helping take the forms off the new foundation.

Happy Easter Bunny

Our little bunny on Easter. About as cute as they get, right? Isaac was too hyped up on sugar to sit still for a picture.

Eggs and such

Isaac dyed eggs today for Easter...

And here is a conversation we had the other day. I thought it was hilarious...

Me: Isaac, do you know what's happening this weekend?

Isaac: Yeah.

Me: What?

I: I don't know.

Me: Isaac, it's Easter.

I: Yeah!

Me: Do you remember why we celebrate Easter? It's very special.

I: The Easter Bunny!

Me: And what else?

I: And chocolate Easter Bunny eggs treats.

Me: Yeah, Easter is a little bit about treats and the Easter Bunny, but mostly what is it about?

I: Treats!

Me: No, Bud, Jesus. Remember?

I: Yeah! Jesus!

Me: What did Jesus do on Easter?

I: He takes our Easter Bunny eggs and throws them down on the floor!

Me: What?! Where did you hear that? No, what did Jesus do?

I: He loves me when I'm good, and he loves me when I'm bad.

Matt: Yeah, Bud, because of what happens on Easter.

I: Yup. And chocolate bunny egg treats.

And so it begins...

We started our addition on the house yesterday. We are pushing one of the walls out to give us a little more space. Yeah! Here is the house before it all begins...

Excavation for the new foundation...

The kids watching everything out the window. They are very curious...
