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..

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

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

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.

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

Finally Dad is on top of things!

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.
