Diaper time

Christmas Wrap

2012-01-07T10:48:00.013-07:00

I started out my Xmass week with a little recital at school

I don't think anyone appreciated my singing voice

I spent the rest of the week with Grandma, shopping and doing fun things

When it came time to unwrap the presents I was super excited
Santa brought me many wonderful things, as did my Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles

Mixer trucks get me pretty excited

Mom is funny about presents

Santa brought me a cool green bike

After all the excitement of the morning it was time to fill our bellies
and reflect on all the great gifts I received

Living in a Cardboard Box

2011-12-12T18:02:00.003-07:00

Sometimes I eat my snacks in a box so Winnie can't get to me

Decoration the House

2011-12-11T15:00:00.008-07:00

Last week we decorationed the house cause its Christmas time, the best time of the year

Elf is on tv six times a week and we get to eat Christmas sweets for every meal

This year we went a different direction with the tree
tall and spindly
vs.

normal size and bushy

Stockings hung from the mantel with care, our baby photos to identify

Not to sure about Mom and Dad's pictures

Summer Art Recap

2011-12-03T12:21:00.006-07:00

Over the summer I've compiled quite a collection of works

with no representation or a gallery in which to display my art I've decided to present it to my internet family

ENJOY

Summer Recap

2011-11-13T09:49:00.009-07:00

Its been a super eventful summer, all of my many grandparents have visited.

I've ridden lizards, went to In-N-Out Burger, met baby llamas, raced race cars and all kinds other adventures - here a few pics from the summer

Yo Gabba Gabba!

2011-11-10T08:31:00.004-07:00

Last night we went to Yo Gabba Gabba Live! It was awesome, we sang songs and danced

Biz Markie even came out on stage to do a little "beat boxing"

I'm 3 now! here is the proof

2011-11-06T12:53:00.007-07:00

Well I've Turned 3, ya it was back in August and we're just getting around to posting, like they say

"better late than never"

As you can see I'm all about Monster Trucks these days

what is not obvious is that we celebrated my Birthday at an aquatic center

Mom commissioned these cool Grave Digger cookies for me

thanks Mom

2011-04-04T07:28:00.003-06:00

We've been having some PC issues so, Dad's reality will have to suffice for now

Dad's Reality

2011-03-15T10:07:00.003-06:00

Dad has a reality show

Who let the dog out? who? who? who? who? who?

2011-03-15T08:50:00.007-06:00

Yesterday was the weekly pan cake breakfast at our place

dad whips up a pretty good cake

For Activities I walked Mr.Simon
and we came across this huge moving truck on our block! Cool!

Disney on Ice!

2011-03-12T08:16:00.011-07:00

Yesterday was so Fun! Mom got us tickets to Disney on Ice

Dad even joined us.. he was the only father present

the show was really cool!

After the show

we went to the Blue Plate so Mom could cap off her

splurge day..what a great day!

Fire Truck!

2011-03-10T18:05:00.006-07:00

Yesterday at School I got my picture taken with a fire truck!
and I made this picture

Y is for Yacht

2011-03-09T07:32:00.008-07:00

All of this snow is cool and all but I'm sick of being cooped up in the house

the iPad can only entertain me so much

Yesterday we got about 8inches in the yard and 36 in the mountains

I didn't care that is was snowy, I took Dad to the park for fresh tracks.

With all the good snow in the mountains Dad decided to go snowboarding
I stayed home to drive Mom nuts...after Dad got home from his work/play day
I took him back out for a few hrs of trucks and bikes around the neighborhood

kicking snow and checking out what our neighbors are up to....looks like the guy around the corner

has a new dating strategy

Easter Candy a.k.a. ChocCo

2011-03-07T15:45:00.003-07:00

Dad is trying out a new format, practically real time posts.... when we post.

February in a Nut Shell

2011-03-06T06:46:00.014-07:00

FebruaryFebruary was a busy month, Moms birthday, trade shows for Dad, visitors and lots of temperature change.

one day it would be 60degrees and the next day it would snow.

Dad took the day off for Mom's birthday and we went to Jungle Jim's

and then sushi lunch and Indian food for dinner!

With all these things going on I've expanded my horizons..
into goggle diving, box climbing, racing cars in the tub
and running the iPad just to name a few

Dad has been getting out on the snowboard again, I guess he likes it

he keeps mumbling something about springing some website on the snowboard world

I'm all about this dump truck I have..as you can see nothing keeps me from playing with it.

when I'm out and about I always see the neighbor cat Thumper

On Valentines Day Dad baked us some croissants

and Mom gave me a cool gift bag

We wrapped the month up with visits from my friends Tosh and Kirra

I love having guest over, we go nuts and play with every toy I have!

Saturday Fun Day!

2011-01-17T09:49:00.013-07:00

Saturday Mom was off work and Dad had no plans except to hang with us so..

We headed to the Zoo. I ran into my friend Jack, he dragged my around while his brother Bo Bo

followed in his stroller.

After the Zoo Mom and Dad took me to Smash Burger to grab a hot dog and some Smash fries yum!
I take a nap every day so, I did that..while Dad set up a man's room in the basement.

I was kinda feeling fishy after my nap so we went to Yellow Fin to grab some happy hour sushi..
I had some Miso soup, Edamame and a Cali roll.. after that I was ready to get back to my room and all my fun toys

(turn the volume up on this one)

2010-12-30T07:58:00.009-07:00

Happy New Year!...Almost

Christmas has come and gone but the gifts keep on giving

Gramma chris gave me these cool wooden blocks that are magnetic...I think Dad is into them more than me...

Mom gave me a wooden lunch set so I can "cut lunch"

Dad had a bunch of promo product he need organized....so I helped him out, we put goggles into their micro fiber bags and then back into plastic covers

and then I rolled in them...of course

I've become interested in my bike...I got it for my birthday but just recently started cruising it

I like to jump it and ride diverse terrain..

check it out, soon enough I can hit the trails with Dad

Aunt Sosa is in town from the "Windy city" so we met her and some friend for breakfast at the most overrated eatery in the valley
at least they have funny pancakes. Sosa gave me a cool truck to add to my collection

thanks Aunt Sosa!

Merry X-Mass Again!

2010-12-26T20:41:00.011-07:00

Merry X-Mass Again!

For X-mass eve Dad prepared us a simple meal of

ham, sweet potato with marshmallows and Asparagus

the following morning I woke to lots of presents and chocolate croissant

I received so many great gifts from family and santa

after playing for hours on end I was forced to take a nap in anticipation of a big nite

After a full day of getting gifts and such we were ready to welcome our guests

we formed a group of 9 for dinner followed by a round of White Elephant gift exchange

the gift exchange was real fun, and in the end I was the center of attention

stomping out some bubble wrap

All in all it was a great day spent with friends and family...as it should be

Merry X-Mass!

2010-12-19T09:52:00.010-07:00

Merry X-Mass! December has been filled with holiday goings on.

Mom has been getting crafty and whipping up lots of treats for her friends and family

I've been getting crafty as well, decorating the tree and finger painting at school

we also had a holiday parade at school, check out my cool antlers

The other day(a few weeks ago) Grandma Goulet came to visit

we had lots of fun hiking around and enjoying the unseasonably weather

We also celebrated an early Christmas, started it off with a nice diner

followed by an evening at the zoo viewing the light display

then we wrapped it all up with pie and presents! ya!

Only a few days until the Big Unwrapping!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving again!

2010-11-28T13:01:00.013-07:00

ThanksGiving came around this week, we celebrated last week in St G. but had nothing better to do so we got together with Baby Mia and her family and some other stragglers to give thanks once again

It was fun cause Mia and Ara were there and uncle Cole's big dogs

On black friday Mom went shopping for some deals

Dad and I went to LakeTown Bicycles to entertain me and to drop off a bike with Dad's friend Phil...phil is going to do his first cross race.

we ate some bagels and watched Phil do some wheelies before going home for a nap

Saturday Mom had a work meeting and Dad took off to race his cross bike so I stayed home with a sitter

Sunday was real snowy, we woke to 4inches in the yard

so Dad and I shoveled, then we went to the park..it was empty
we spent the rest of the day in the house watching movies and catching 40winks

Last night Dad shoveled another 4inches and another 4inches this morning

so we're getting some good snows

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-21T17:04:00.009-07:00

Last weekend we packed up the dogs and all of dad's bikes

and we set off for St.George to visit the grandparents

while we were there we celebrated Thanksgiving

grandma and grandpa were going to be out of town for Turkey day so we decided to give thanks early

I spent Saturday night with the boys
Tom Bender and Uncle Sean came over for cocktails
we grabbed some Smash Burgers and stared at the internet for a while

This morning we woke to fresh snow in the yard so I went out to play in it
Dad and I threw snowballs for weenie and built a snowman
when we got back inside the power was out so we snuggled as a family under the covers on the couch

Here is a video of dad and his buddies riding bikes

2010-11-09T10:38:00.009-07:00

Halloween!
We really stretched Halloween out this year.

It started with a parade at my pre pre school on thursday...

yes I now go to pre pre school, its pretty cool. Just once a week

we make crafts and learn to share

Saturday we went to the Children's Discovery zone to see some ghouls
and practice our trick or treating

Sunday we went to Aunt Jacqui's for BoBo's birthday
and
more Halloween festivities

Big Boy Room

This weekend I got my big boy room all set up

we went to Ikea to pick out some items. One of shred kids(now grown up) that Dad coached met us there with his daughter Madeline

Madeline and I played around Ikea and then we all went out for Bar-B-Q

Mom and I painted a cubby for my room
and
Dad built my furniture and shot some pics of the dogs noses

oh ya...Dad is still riding his bikes but not racing
So now I have this cool big boy room for all my toys and my own bed...the dogs love it too as a secondary dogs lair

Miscellaneous Adventures

2010-10-24T20:12:00.014-06:00

I've had many adventures since my last post.. State fair, uncle Dustin dropped by
Picking out pumpkins, hiking and working trail with dad
Joel and Jennie's wedding, here are a few pictures of these adventures

October Fest

2010-09-12T15:49:00.008-06:00

Oktoberfest!

Last weekend drove up to Snowbird to celebrate October in a German style
It was pretty cool, there was a band and dancers, Bratwurst and kraut
and a big truck!

Mom and Dad stuffed their faces while we watched the band
and stared at the people, then we went home
pretty fun.

We also went to the Avenues street fair
the fair was booth after booth of artists and vendors of various things

since I'm in training to be a consumer, I decided on a cup cake and a duck tattoo right away

Dad got some Navajo fry bread, then we walked the length of the street

on the return we decided to take to the sidewalk and skirt the people

we stopped at the Indian food vendor and grabbed some lunch before heading home

Zoo snacks and Dancy dance time

2010-09-04T16:35:00.007-06:00

The other day I hooked up with my BFF Jack and we hit the Zoo

Mom and Jacquie rented us a wagon to ride in. We rode the carousel and snacked on the bronze tigers.. these are a few of my favorite pics from the day.

Sometime in the evening around dinner time, Dad and I will blast some music and dance a bit. Here are a few videos of one of those times

Ethan 2.0

2010-08-31T09:05:00.011-06:00

Last Saturday was my Birthday, we celebrated by inviting a bunch of my friends to the park on the corner

I had sandwiches from Jimmy Johns beverages and a cake shaped like a fire truck!

My friends really enjoyed the cake as you can see

Because I'm two Dad and I got new bikes
Dad's is an '87 Cannondale, mine is a custom LooK Strider bike
Within a hour of giving me the Strider Dad had customized it
upgraded grips, seat post and seat! Super Cool!

Grandma trumped the bike though, she gave me a giant fire truck!
It makes sounds and you can steer by the ladder...I love to drive it all around the neighborhood, the yard, upstairs, downstairs, all around.

My special day was lots of fun but kind of overwhelming also
I'm glad my friend came out but
once I came down from my sugar high my mood changed and it was time for everyone to go home.

Farmer's Market

2010-08-23T08:58:00.008-06:00

Saturday we got out the bikes and I loaded up in the Chariot,

off to the Farmer's Market we went to look a fun stuff and grab some tasty eats

We watched some crazy hula-hoopers and ate some pastries

then we found some cool Styrofoam sword

I hugged the sword all the way home and then Dad took this sleepy pic of me

Mr. Crab R.I.P.

2010-08-19T20:05:00.005-06:00

I've been looking after my friend Jack's sea creatures. Sushi the gold fish and a pair of hermit crabs, Hermi and Crab Stu.

The fish has pretty sedate but the crabs are a handful.

At first Hermi would just bury himself in the sand, Stu would be the only visible crab and he was odd. When we looked at him he would practically come right out of his shell. After a few days of living with us Crab Stu moved out of his shell and was cruising the tank, not sure if he didn't like his other shell options or if he just wanted to end it all... he eventually stopped moving and MOm had to remove him.

With Crab Stu gone Hermi came to the surface and was all over the tank even climbing up the walls, that lasted a day and we haven't seen him since...did he escape?

Hike to Dog Lake

2010-08-16T22:05:00.004-06:00

Mom put her foot down this weekend, no all day riding adventures for Dad

instead we decided to go for a hike

we packed up the all the dogs and set out for Dog Lake

At the top we had a mini picnic and watched Winnie hunt for badgers

Meeting of the little Dougs

2010-08-15T08:12:00.014-06:00

Thursday Dad's good friends Uncle Nick & Aunt Jody came down from Park City to visit with us

they brought along their little dougs Benji and Zach,

whom I've never met cause they all live in Philly. Dad stayed with Nick last year when he was traveling the Grand Prix circuit

We had a good time poaching Laird park and snacking!

hopefully when Zac is a little bigger they'll visit every winter and we can snowboard together

friends for life!

In my spare time I've been playing with some water features

in the back yard and making funny faces..

Born with a silver spoon.. well not really

2010-08-10T09:04:00.005-06:00

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth but I was handed one down from through the Goulet/Reed lineage and a nice silver cup from my Grandpa Mike.

I love it, the spoon is a shorty, just the right size for a little man like myself

I've been grubbing all sorts of big boy food....as you can see.

Dad has been going downhilling on the weekends

here are a few images from his adventures

Nose Rockets and Trail Maintenance

2010-08-07T20:43:00.007-06:00

I've discovered my nose

I can smell with it, I can store things in it and I can shoot things out of it

Dad captured this footage of me nose rocketing my sugar smacks

Tuesday Uncle Heath decided to take a vacation at our place

one morning He and Dad were hoping to go for a ride but MOm was headed to the gym

so Instead Dad and Heath took me to do some trail maintenance

kind of fun but really hot and dusty

Weekend Picnic

2010-07-11T08:41:00.003-06:00

Yesterday we let Dad go downhilling in Park City for the day, MOm and I met up with Baby Mia and Aunt Sarah for a shop and water play mission.

When Dad got home we decided to got to Sugarhouse park for a picnic by the stream

The water is freezing cold but you get used to it, or at least you feet go numb

I like to throw rocks in the water and make a big splash

Uncle Sean got a big bike recently, Dad has been taking him around the trails

helping him to stretch his comfort zone

Dad says its mind over matter...the bike doesn't mind so it doesn't matter.

here Uncle Sean contemplates a drop off while a rusty skeleton taunts him

Happy 5th of July!

2010-07-05T08:13:00.007-06:00

Happy 5th of July! and happy birthday to Grandma Mimi!

Since the 4th falls on a Sunday Utah celebrated our Independence on the 3rd

the parade and fire works celebrations all on saturday. This allowed us to extend the celebration

through the weekend...so why not celebrate the 5th as well?

On the 4th we went to Park City to see their parade

We met up with Dustin and Trisha and spectated till the parade wall almost over

we split early to beat the traffic as most of the Salt Lake had driven to PC for the celebration

Mom and I went to the outlets looking for a belt and left Dad in PC with Dustin

so they could ride big bikes

It is hard to believe it has only been a week since I got my sandbox

I've been playing in it every day, Dad put it under the tree so its always nice and shady

Dad has been teaching me to mow the lawn so that he can ride his bike more

I like it but Mom says I'm not ready for a big boy mower yet

Dude's Weekend at the sandbox

2010-06-26T18:04:00.010-06:00

Mom took a break from us this weekend and headed out for a "Moms weekend" in Park City

so we had "Dudes weekend"

Dad decided that we would build a sandbox so we went to Home Depot

we had some 2x4s left over from the old ramp so we picked up 400lbs of sand and headed home

I watched Dad build the box till it was nap time, when I woke up it was ready for me..

so much fun!

Dad thought it was time to educate me on Audi racing so we spent some time

watching group B rally footage on youtube...cool

Uncle JP came over to put the finishing touches on our gate. We needed a hole drilled in our driveway but Dad didn't have a masonry bit or a hammer drill...I had to check the hole depth to make sure it was up to spec.

Dad is still riding his big bike. Uncle Sean got a bike so Dad took him out for his first ride

they tried to find the moose trail but ended up on a wild moose chase

a 45min ride turned into a 4hr tour...a 4 hour tour

Dad said the views were nice though

and luckily he brought some food and water

Happy Faja's day!

2010-06-20T08:37:00.012-06:00

In honor of fathers I've dressed in some outfits that Dad's dad got me

Grandpa Mike sometimes goes to the outfitters for fishing gear

and finds himself in the children's dept.

Last weekend we had a family photo shoot

with Devina Fear, Devina is practically a family friend, Mom has known her for years

It was a really cold day for june but we went to the park anyway

and pretended that is was warm out

Devina said we got some great pics, I'm excited to see them

Check out this cool train set Dad found for me on Ebay

It has Thomas the train and a bunch of his friends

I really like the trains but the track can be frustrating sometimes

Also last weekend, Aunt Jojo and Uncle Scott paid us a visit

Scott built a fence for us while Dad played foreman

now we have a nice working fence/gate that should deter the dogs from escaping...

you should have seen the joke of a fence we had before this

Dad had built it out of pvc webbing and pvc pipes

Grand parents and Thomas come to town

2010-06-13T07:44:00.009-06:00

Thomas the train was visiting Heber for Memorial weekend

so we decided to go see him

Grandma and Grandpa came up front St. George and we made a family weekend of it

Thomas moved real slow, Dad said he could run faster
either way I loved it!
After a big day of riding trains I needed to refuel ...with surf and turf

Recently I slipped off the toilet and caught my face on an unprotected bolt
don't worry
as you can see I still have my eye and I'm almost healed up already

Over the last few weekends Builder Dad has given way to Demolition Dad and then Yard Core Dad
Dad tore down a skateboard ramp that was in the back yard
trimmed the trees front and back, turned on the sprinklers

and got the swamp cooler going....
Dad got a new bike though, I'm afraid we may lose Productive Dad to
Downhill Dad

Dad has been abducted

2010-05-22T09:51:00.009-06:00

Mega Blocks and Mega Visits

2010-02-16T08:16:00.009-07:00

How about those Saints?

I watched my first Super Bowl last week

When Dad told me about it, it thought it might be cereal related. MOm and Dad don't really know anything about football, they watch for the commercials.

anyway, the Saint are our team now...so yea! we won the Super Bowl!

Uncle J1 from Wisconsin visited me by way of Colorado.
Dad stayed with J1 and his family during the first round of the USGP in september. Now we're returning the favor...host housing.

Lately I really like blue berries, I eat a pint a day I can't get enough of them, Dad loads up my snack trap so I can cruise with them and not have to fight off the dogs.

I have a healthy Mega Blocks collection

I can barely keep them all in one container...probably cause I have two containers worth.

I like to build the blocks real high and then topple them down...preferably on the Winnie

Welcome back to 2010

2010-02-03T09:37:00.006-07:00

Dad deciDed to taKe january off from blogging but FebruaRy is herE now so I'm bacK!

Over the lAst month wE've had visiTors, dinner parTies and BirThdays..
lots of fun!

Uncle Blotto was in toWn for a wHile and would sTop by to play Mega blocks.

MOm, Dad and I went to tHe Aquarium, it used tO be a Pep Boys or a grocery sTore,

Octopus on IsLe 9..I had soMe fun and got tO see some sea horse, jelly fish and touCh a stingray.

I hAd a cool ZhuZhu pet that graNdma T had given me, Winnie thought is was cool too... so he killed.

Everything is Fun!

2009-12-31T09:00:00.004-07:00

YesteRday I helped Dad shoVel the walk

It just mAKes sense to go out side now that I have a coat for eVeryDay of the week

SOmething else that is pretty fun, wearing glasses

EspeCially Dad's cause things get rEaLly close

The days after and Dad's Nationals recap

2009-12-28T08:19:00.008-07:00

With all the cool toys I recieved for Xmass I hardly even think about stacking the spices or sorting the recycling.

here are a few videos and pics of me playing with some of my favorite toys

the Fridge DJ, Mega Blocks and my Tonka fire house.

So its been a few weeks since Dad raced Cyclocross Nationals in Bend, Or.

It didn't go how Dad hoped, he wanted to win of course.. he did get third and that is really good.

Dad says the article in Velo News brought alot of attention to the 35+ race, which ended up being one of the most dramatic races of the weekend..you can read about it here and the live coverage here, scroll down to 2:13 time stamp.

Finally just a few video clips that will help you understand the scene at Nationals...thousands of spectators!

Who knows what happened to mid december.

Dad was traveling, racing his bike and going to sales meetings, then suddenly it was Xmass eve.

I woke early on Christmas day so did MOm and Dad. After a quick breakfast I started tearing into the presents under the tree.

Truth be told I've been getting into the presents for weeks, I like standing up on them and carrying them around. Anything that arrived unwrapped never made it under the tree, I've been playing with those toys for weeks.

I got some new winter clothes, naturally i wanted to try them out so we went to Liberty Park. We don't have a proper sled so Dad brought a snowler-board... he said it would be good enough for my first time.

In keeping with the true spirit of Christmas,

we had a group of stragglers over for dinner. Aunt Trish was the first to arrive followed

by Zach, Aunt Jocelyn, Trisha, Dustin and Missy.

We ate prime ribs and honey glazed hams among other things.

After dinner I had bath time and cruzed the house for a bit before going to bed.

Christmas is here, Dad let us get a tree this year.

Saturday night after Dads bike race we went to the tree store for a Douglas fur.

MOm picked out a nice one, we got it trimmed up and took it home.

not sure what is up with Dad's face in these pics

Then we had to rush Dad to the airport so he could race his bike some more..in Portland.

Dad wrapped up the Utah series with a Win and 2nd overall in the series, then in Portland he won the final day of the USGP, putting an exclamation point on his series overall win.

Dad hits the big time while I live thug life!

Dad got some big time exposure today, In Velo News. Its the premier magazine for US cycling.
pretty nice write up from what Dad tells me.

I'm really into my tricycle these days. I ride it everywhere I can.
It was cold out yesterday so Dad made me some thumb-less mittens..

out of my socks..the guys at the bike shop said I looked like a burn victim.

You may be wondering if I'm walking yet, yes and no. I wobble around a good bit,

sometimes I revert to crawling, especially when I get tired

Snack time is sometimes fun time, as these videos show.

I'm into sharing,..with the dogs.

Thanks has been Given, Dad Wins USGP series! and Utah State Championship

2009-11-30T09:12:00.014-07:00

It seems that winter is here, I've had snow in my backyard for a week now.

Dad and I are still getting out for rides though, sometimes in the Chariot but I prefer riding my own tricycle.

It is still Dad powered but at least I'm more involved in the riding of it.

Dad is going out of town again this weekend, this time to Portland, OR. for the final round of the US Grand Prix of Cyclocross. In New Jersey Dad scored enough points to win the series, Now he just needs to show his face on the final day to represent the jersey.Dad also became Utah State Championship a week ago.. this is his first state championship, he says we should be proud...so I guess we will be.

Thanksgiving was fun..
MOm thought it was going to be like this...

Instead we had friends over...Dad calls them stragglers, for a full family style meal.

better late than never

2009-11-13T11:21:00.005-07:00

We took Dad to the airport today,

He's headed to New Jersey to defend his USGP leaders jersey.

So its just MOm and me for the weekend.

Last weekend was another double race weekend for Dad,

so we were mostly alone again, Dad did win us some

Diaper Money though so we'll let the double weekend slide.

Boo to Double Cross weekends

2009-11-04T07:33:00.004-07:00

We were at Wheeler Farms all weekend.

Dad had 2 cross races this weekend so we decided to attend..usually they are kind of far so MOm and I don't bother. The weather was really nice so we met up with Asher and his mom Lizzy on saturday and Mia and her mom Sarah on sunday.

Dad had a good weekend, Uncle Bart took a beating on Saturday and then handed it back to Dad on Sunday.

Happy Halloweenie

Happy Halloweenie!

I'm excited to show off my costumes this weekend, even though MOm has been playing dress up with me for most of my life.

MOm got me a Ethanasourus Rex costume

Dad made me a USGP leader skin suit, so I can be him for halloween?

Grandma Goulet got me Pepper costume.

I guess Dad wants me to HTFU, the leader suit is not very warm and he expects me to wear it to the Cross race today.

Dad is racing at Wheeler Farms, its close so MOm and I will go cheer him on..sometime MOm doesn't cheer.

Wheeler also has animals and stuff, its a working replica of what people did before Whole Foods. Some of my friend are gonna meet us there.

Dad was off at the USGP in Kentucky last weekend. He won the saturday race and got 2nd on sunday... so he's still has the leaders jersey. In two weeks he'll be in New Jersey for the Mercier Cup.

I guess its not all serious at the USGP with Dad and his buddies

Big Week!

2009-10-18T11:20:00.011-06:00

Plenty of goings on this week... My Uncle Brad and Aunt Amy came to town with my new friend Tosh, it was MOm and Dad's anniversary and Dad beat his arch nemesis...Uncle Bart.

Since the Alberts were in town we spent most of the "Anniversary" day with them, then Brad and Amy were nice enough to little man sit me while MOm and Dad went out for a romantic dinner.

MOm and Dad bough each other the same card?!

Last weekend Dad won the local cross race,
My Dad says this is kind of a big deal cause Bart hasn't been beat since before I was born.. and Dad was the last one to do it. He says I should be proud, so i guess i'll have to be.

Friday Mom took off for a "girls retreat" in San Diego.. So it been boys weekend here...except yesterday when I had a baby sitter so Dad could race. And Dad blew it too, Dad got second to Not Bart and missed out on $100 diaper money! Get the whole story here.

Lately I've been into Stacking things and using my walker.

MOm doesn't come home till Monday.. wish me luck

Finally Dad is on top of things!

2009-10-09T09:46:00.006-06:00

Its been quite a while since my last post but finally Dad is on top of things. It been a busy month for Dad and that makes for minimal post to my blog.

In August MOm and I agreed that Dad should satisfy his quarter life crisis by racing the USGP of Cyclocross.

This is asking alot of us because the series is 8 races over 4 weekends and calls for Dad to travel across the country. His first journey included a trade show in Vegas so he left us for 6days!

Dad did us proud though and won the first 2 races and now has the Men 35+ points leaders jersey!..only 6 race left!

One of Dads good friends from the "old snowboard days" was nice enough to pick him up at the airport and provide him a car and shelter for the weekend.. thanks Girardi family!

While Dad was gone MOm took my party hopping, one saturday we went to 4 birthday partys..

thats cool.

Now that Dad is back things are almost normal, I've been cruising with him to visit friends and recently I got to cruise the sidewalk out side of Uncle Daves house.

After "training" Dad has his bottle of recovery drink.. I think that cool, so I want on one too.. if he doesn't let me hold his big boy bottle I throw a fit.

2009-09-21T07:44:00.007-06:00

Well I guess Dad has finally seen fit to update my blog, I've been telling him for a week to stop focusing on himself and do something I want him to do.

I learned how to say Shhh, thats pretty cool.. its one of the things Dad tells the dogs all the time..and I'm close to saying Paolo, cause Dad is always yelling at Paolo to go to his bed during my dinner time.

I'm not walking yet but I'm getting into plenty of mischief.. Dad says I'm getting grabby. Anything I can reach I grab. MOm and Dad chase me around the house trying to put the place together while I pull it apart.

I don't think these guys can ever get this place Ethan proof as I am all seeing and of course all grabbing.

I had my first real paid baby sitter, I've had people watch me before but never hired hand. Lucy is my official sitter, don't try to get her contact info.. she is mine and I'm not willing to share.

Saturday we went for a family ride with some new friends from MOm's mom group. Christine and Drew came over with little Lance in tow and we rolled up Emigration Canyon.. Everyone that passed Dad and Drew comment on how tuff they were cause they were dragging us up the canyon. I can just barely fit into my new Giro Spree, cause my Dad is cool I get to rock the 2010 products..my helmet has the new One Step fit system and flashing lights on the back...and construction vehicle graphics!
I want to start a Chariot racing club so all the dads can go head to head.. it should be a category for USA cycling... Imagine Sugarhouse Crit with Chariots!

Anyway, enjoy the meager update that Dad was willing to post for me...here are some photos to make up for the thousands of word Dad should have written last week.

Another weeks worth of post?!

2009-09-12T06:59:00.005-06:00

Seems like Dad is to busy these day to help me with my blog and MOm has always refused to update my blog, so....the blog has been reduced to weekly posts?!

This week has really flown by with Monday being a holiday. Grandma went home late tuesday night, I had to wake up at 10pm and drive with her and Dad to the airport..tough love, tougher for Grandma though..I'm not sure what a "red eye"is but Dad says its not fun.

Before Grandma left we were going to the park a bunch... here are some snaps from our adventures.

Most of the time I'm not at the Park, I'm at home. One would think with all the cool toy i have that I would just play and play with them all the time....truth is my favorite thing is to cruise the house.

I like to play with the recycling, load the dishwasher and of course try to get into the trash zone...I'm usually hanging with the dogs or looking to see what they're up to.

A weeks worth of posts in picture form

2009-09-07T08:20:00.011-06:00

Time really flys these days. Its already been a week since my last post and I've had so many adventures.

I think it was monday that Grandma, Dad and I went for a walk up mammary grove and around City Creek.

On Tuesday MOm, Grandma and I went to Thanks Giving Point to see some botanical garden.. I'm not overly amused by plants. There were some fish to look at and I generally like adventures as long as my diaper is clean and I'm not sleepy.

Later in the week we got on bikes for a Parade of Yards in our neighborhood. MOm wants to land scrape the font yard so we toured the neighbors yards to see who does it right and what not to do.

There are some interesting yards in our general area. One of our neighbors must be a landscape artist/handy man cause his yard is like a example of every technique he is capable of. Look closely at his yard its weird.
Another neighbor gives away fruit and Vegis, just don't take his table. On our journey we noticed this cool car, then we decided to get a coffee at the Coffee Garden with the hipsters.

Birthday Party Post!

2009-08-31T08:18:00.011-06:00

So what if this is the third post about my Birthday.. Its a big day for me.

Saturday was the official Part to celebrate my 1 year.

The Plan; Family and friends, Ethan games, Goulet burgers, fun for all!

Here are pictures from the day.. start to Finish.

Morning started with some nice clouds.

Pre-Party prep, Grandma slaved for days getting the house ready and baking tasty treats To be consistent with most 1st Birthdays, I decided to be sad and cry during Birthday song.

My guests song was pretty shocking, I did recover from my shock and decided to eat cake.

Then the gift giving began... my favorite part! Thanks to everyone who attended and blessed me with their presence.

After cake and song I was worn out..straight to bed, no bath.

My guest however started to really party, Bingo Ethan style was first up followed by Pin the Tooth On the Gums. I was told that MOm went to bed at 1am but Dad snuck off at 9:30.

Happy Birthday to me

2009-08-28T08:17:00.004-06:00

Today is my Birthday! I'm One! I wasn't actually born till 6:59pm but I'm celebrating now anyway.

This week we've been baby sitting Baby Mia. Aunt Sarah drops her off and Uncle Cole picks her up.. Babies are cool.

I'm almost 1!

2009-08-26T07:23:00.006-06:00

So I'm almost 1 year old, Friday is the official day but Saturday is the party.

If you didn't get your invitation then you weren't invited..just kidding, anyone can come if they bring a present.

My party will be so fun, we're going to play Ethan trivia, Ethan(bingo) and pin the tooth on the gums.

Food and beverages will be served, only my favorites though... bananas, breakfast sausage, mini waffles, hot dog slices and watered down apple juice...ya!

Grandma Goulet flew in for my 1 year party. Shes' going to do the baking of the cakes and cup cakes.

Since Grandma is in town we went to the Blue Plate Diner.. I like it there, cool stuff to look at and the Fries come in two sizes, steak and shoe string!

while we were there i drew a picture of a tree and Dad made me a watch.
