Trying on some downhilling helmets

This is what Steve and Lake do when they want to give me a break...

Winter activities

Lake isn't super fond of snow (yet) but he does like shoveling! He also did some trials riding on the playfort. We took a trip up to the mountains and played some guitar hero. It's a good thing we don't own one. You can also see Lake in his favorite costume, nice.

My musicians

Steve took up the banjo and Lake has always loved guitars (and drums). I guess that's the Uncle Dan in him... Lake is singing some Rolling Stones in his picture, Gimme Shelter. ha ha

Christmas 2008

Lake trials riding

I promise we don't make him do this stuff...he is practicing to be like Ryan Leech who is an amazing trials rider. We have (maybe unfortunately) let him watch some of his videos.

Attempting to catch up...

I have no idea if anyone is still checking this blog.  I obviously haven't updated it in at least 6 months.  If I can't do something from my iphone, it doesn't happen.  I am going to try to get caught up, though.  We have some fun things to share and some big events have happened, one being a new family member!

Halloween fun!

Oh yeah!


Halloween was a big day for us. Lake did not want to put on his costume. I had to bribe him with the possibility of candy...so bad. We started out with a visit to Steve's office. Lake's favorite treat there was a big frog cookie. Next we went to my office and he got some more goodies. Steve came home early so that we could bike down to the Munchkin Masquerade on Pearl Street. All the merchants dress up and hand out candy. In the process, we pretty much see all of our friends who have kids. It is utter madness. We biked home in time to pass out candy and Lake threw handfuls of candy into everyone's bag (except some unlucky kids only got one piece). He would also pick out his favorite candy to give away. He obviously takes after Steve b/c I would have horded the best stuff.
