WARNING: MAN COLD

Ben has a cold! Watch this video...Man Cold Video


Enough Said!

But in all reality I do feel bad and he is really sick. But he is slowly getting better and feeling a little better the more he drinks...

LEADVILLE!

Ben and I went up to Leadville to visit Mat and Andi. It was so much fun to see the kids and hang out with Mat and Andi.  We got to tour around Leadville (a very small but cute mountain town), go hang out at Copper Mountain (an awesome ski town), play in the snow with the kids, and played games (Ticket to Ride and Settlers all night long).  We hope to be able to go up there again in the summer time (to go camping)!!

Playing Ticket to Ride- Europe

This is what happens when you give Mylie the camera + about 500 more pictures!

Copper Mountain Ski Resourt


Look who we saw skiing at Copper Mountain!



This is the spring snow!



The start of SPRING...


POPCORN!

The other night Ben was craving popcorn but alas we did not have any instant microwave popcorn, so Ben decided to make stove top popcorn. The first attempt Ben boiled an entire stick of butter with 1/2 cup of popcorn. It...did not really work!


We googled it (google is amazing) and found out that was a little to much butter. We tried it again and...wala stovetop popcorn. The wonderful things we learn every day!!

Ben's Business Trip to NC

Ben went to North Carolina on a business trip for Crocs for a Online Retailer Conference called Catalist put on by Cannel Advisor.  He went with Zach, a friend and co-worker from work. Zach was speaching as a pannelist at the conference- so Ben (because he went with Zach) was upgraded to a suite.  He thought the room was pretty fancy (his favorite part was the golf course right outside the window)!

It was pretty much three of pannels, key note addresses and speaches. At the closing party they saw Kool Mo Dee (a big time hip hop 'thug' rapper from 1986) perform and said it was "AWESOME"!! He actually said it was a lot better than he expected and they were dancing and singing along.

On the way home to the airport they stopped to have some authentic southern barbeque- delicious.
