Wyatt & Lindsay

Last night I threw Milo a surprise party, and surprised he was. His birthday isn't until May 2nd. With the baby coming the same weekend I decided not to chance it. Plus his mom was in town so it worked out perfectly. It was really fun.

THE RETURN OF THE WOLF....

This weekend we went to St. George for the Wolf's first mountain bike race as the bionic man. The 4 hour car ride was a bit crowded with Chloe, her DVD player, Grant, myself and this growing baby... Grant made Chloe a newspaper hut and fed her grapes to keep her quiet. He must be working on his parenting skills.
Saturday morning was the first race of the season.
...
Wolf with his game face.

At the start, in the front of the pack.

If you ever wonder what the life of the crew members is like, this is basically it. Waiting and supporting, waiting and supporting.

Coming around for the second lap. I think the fist pump is a good sign.

Chloe was only interested in one thing, the entire trip...

getting a tan on that blinding white winter skin.

The finish. The knees are a success with a faster time than last year.

Lisel, Christian, Wolf, Becky, Grant

This is our second trip to In N Out. It's too good to only go to once.

Sunday Larry, Grant and Chloe went on a mountain bike ride.

Gstar and C Town

LAMBS CAFE

We have a little family tradition the week before Christmas where we eat at Lambs Cafe and go ice skating. Lambs Cafe was as nostalgic as always... feeling like we all stepped into The Christmas Story movie.

dad & mom.

Grant & I.

Riley, Lindsay & Wyatt.

Sadly the ice skating rink was closed to a private party.

However, that wasn't going to stop Riley. He skated all around while we laughed and took pictures. The tooth pick in the mouth while skating on one foot is the new trick.. too dangerous for most.

We then looked at the lights at Temple Square, while Larry & Becky waited in the warm car.
...

And on Christmas Eve. We found out...

this baby is a....

GIRL

...

We all had a wonderful holiday, hope all is well.

Love,

Hayley
