Dad's Reality

Dad has a reality show

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

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!

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!

Dude's Weekend at the sandbox

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

Grand parents and Thomas come to town

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

The days after and Dad's Nationals recap

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!

X-mass has come and gone, just like that.

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.
