Christmas...




So far, I think that I'm just like everyone else running around like crazy trying to make this holiday season special (or just survive it). These are a few pictures that help me remember what it is all about. I absolutely love the one of Ryker... he has been so good about not destroying the tree. I hope all of you have a happy season too!

On Tour...




We had a really fun Thanksgiving break, ate way too much, toured the coal mine where my dad and brother work, traveled all over the face of Wyoming and Utah, and cut a beautiful Christmas tree. Needless to say, it was an eventful weekend. Here are a few pics...





On the right, is my dad standing by a 240 ton dump truck. These trucks are flat out amazing.

And on the left, is a picture of us standing in front of the bucket of the main digging machine. It takes three scoops from this machine to fill up one of the dump trucks. It was a little cold there (imagine that)!

John and I had a blast driving around the mine, and our kids were amazed at how huge everything is. It is also really cool to see my dad in his element. Anyway, thanks for the tour, Dad!!
