 We took Nate to see the Monster Jam yesterday. Alexander was full of his normal antics. He enjoyed getting stuck in the fold up seats.

Too much energy to sit in the stands for long but he enjoyed walking around and exploring the stadium.

Weekend in the Mtns

 Nate and I checked out the snow sculptures in Breckenridge. This sculpture was created for kids to climb on and slide down.
 a very fast slide with ice at the bottom, ouch....he only tried it once!



 ...and a few ice sculptures from the sponsors
 Warming up in the Breckenridge visitor's center.
 Trouble at nap time.... goldfish snacks everywhere!
 Excited about skiing
fun in the dog carrier
 new trick: dumping all of the toys in one huge pile
He has the whole house to himself while Nate is at school.
 playing together with their stuffed animals
 Nighttime silliness
He picked up a shovel to copy/ help us.
 First Science Fair...Best Slime!
 Another new trick....throwing mattress out.
 Nate had his Star Week last week. He decorated a star describing his life and then got to do special things in class all week (e.g being first in line).
 Napping like a champ
Our neighbors love being out in the early morning

A Day at Walker Ranch (Just West of Boulder)

 Nate made a button the old fashioned way... with a slice of wood and a make shift drill to create the holes
learning how to blacksmith at the ranch
 chilly but nice day
