Meeting of the little Dougs

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

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
