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 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.

Dad hits the big time while I live thug life!

Dad got some big time exposure today, In Velo News. Its the premier magazine for US cycling.
pretty nice write up from what Dad tells me.

I'm really into my tricycle these days. I ride it everywhere I can.
It was cold out yesterday so Dad made me some thumb-less mittens..

out of my socks..the guys at the bike shop said I looked like a burn victim.

You may be wondering if I'm walking yet, yes and no. I wobble around a good bit,

sometimes I revert to crawling, especially when I get tired

Snack time is sometimes fun time, as these videos show.

I'm into sharing,..with the dogs.

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.
