Mega Blocks and Mega Visits

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

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!

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

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.

Christmas tree 0 christmas tree

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.
