"Just know that I have a whole bag of shh with your name on it." - Dr. Evil

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.

MOm rides Emigration

Yesterday we rode Emigration canyon, its only MOms second road ride but she's pretty strong. from the house its about 16miles to the top of the canyon.. just over 2hrs round trip for MOm..Dad says thats a good first time.

We ran into Uncle Dave and he took this snap of us at the top.

What are Aero wheels are good for?

Who needs Baby Einstein when Dad has EC90's to entertain me?




We've been getting out more this week, it's cold but the streets are dry so we saddle up and ride. Some say its to cold to ride this week, I say "only if you're a lizard" . I'm a baby and I'm doing Emigration.. what does that make you? this is not directed at uncle Joel, just those that need to HTFU

Mother nature is cruel

Today Dad took me for a drag, we met up with Uncle Dave at the zoo and headed up Emigration canyon. Our current weather is quite different than 3 days ago, friday was almost 70 and today is just above 40..at least the streets were dry.




Here is a pic of us at the top of little Mtn... you can only see half of Dave's face but i guess you could only see half of it anyway...Dad and Dave are bundled but don't worry about me I'm wearing my Juicy jump suit and I'm wrapped in a down sleeping bag.

Emigration TTT new best time

Dad took me for a drag in the chariot today, we met up with a bunch of my uncles. Luke, Joel and Sean met us at the house, then we headed north to pick up Uncle Dave. We were planning on climbing Emigration canyon so I convinced Dad to try for a new best time on the way up.

The last time we did a Trailer Time Trial up Emigration Sean was along for the ride, Dad beat him to the top that day.

Sean thought that was bull s%#t. Dad says no man wants to get beat by another man, especially with a handicap(trailer)...Dad gave Sean fair warning that he would do his best to beat him to the top this time as well... Sure enough we put a minute into him on the upper slopes of Emi.



So our new best time is 33min 5sec...We trimmed 3 minute off our previous attempt...Dad was curious as to the weight of the Chariot so he put on the scale. Our combined weight, the trailer and I, 47lbs.. pretty sweet.

3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour

When Dad told me we were going for a 3hr chariot tour I had to pull this Gilligan face... Just kiddin, the camera still mesmerizes me so I make these crazy inquisitive faces.

Since Mom was going to some crazy auction with Trish, Dad dragged me out for a few hours. It was my nap time and I usually go down for a three hour nap anyway so this was perfect, I slept off 40 miles and Dad got tired legs.. that's a perfect example of killing two birds with one stone.
