It's a dog, right?

I think it's a little tough to tell what that hair ball even is.

Bundled up

Here's Ammon taking in some nordic racing this weekend. It was really sunny :)

Buddy

This dog wondered into our yard the other night and he had to spend the night while we waited for somebody to come pick him up. What a cool dog he was though... super friendly and HUGE. We almost wanted to keep him, except for the stink and shedding. :)

Nordic Masters World Cup

Took in some racing at the world cup in McCall this weekend. Fun trip.

Abby's Move

Helped Abby move the other night and managed to fit it all in one load. It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the truck is pretty full and totally rigged hillbilly style. There was about 10 miles of interstate highway involved with no problems. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a great wife I have. Mmmm... cookies.

Kissin' Cousins

Abby loves baby Ammon

Canadian Twizzlers Licorice

Ammon's a fan of the good stuff from up north as well. The question is how do we get this stuff delivered to Idaho?

Buckin'

For Elvar

The Big Canadian Bucks

$823... (according to Derek)

Guess Who?

BJA

Goodbye for now Grandpa. We miss you.

Flying Babies

The little guy's first flight.

Scott Addict R4

All built up and ready for the snow to melt!

(I've since swapped out the Force shifters with a Sram Red group and a white saddle. Sooo choice...)

Bundled Up

Here's Ammon helping me clean out the garage on Sat.

The bike riding dog

Ya... This dog can ride a bike. He pulled into Meridian Cycles while we were talking bikes with the owner. The dog just sat in this position while the owner shopped. Skip has some learnin to do.

Mr. Chubby

Putting on some weight and lookin good!

Hugalugs

Ammon's ready for some jazzercise.

My new Scott Addict...

Just waiting on parts to build it up now. Also, white is the fastest of all bike colors from what I've heard.

Happy Thirty Fun!

I almost missed the shot she was so quick to blow them out...

Ahi Sushi

Jamie's birthday dinner. It was very good.

Snow Galore

The snow is really piling up in McCall!

Happy 50th Uncle Kenny!

Yum...

Ya I didn't notice my glass had lipstick on the rim until we were done with dinner. Pretty gross.

So Sad

This is the first night the house will be dark again.

The dismantling begins

Santa's little helper.

Snow Dog

aka Brutus

Snow Man

Fast and Furious

We hammered up Hard Guy until the snow stopped us today. While the snow doesn't look very deep in the photo... it was HARD to ride. Pretty much like I'd imagine riding with velcro wheels on a velcro mat that is placed over the top of ball barrings. We finally turned around and just FLEW down the hill. Then continued over to Corrals and down Crestline and Red Cliffs to do the same thing. The trails were frozen solid and traction couldn't have been better. The adrenaline was flowin' and we were plain ol cruisin'. What a great ride!

The Winner

Hulls Gulch in the snow.

We hit the trails yesterday and it was a perfect day of winter riding. Nice and fast frozen ground with spots of decent snow coverage, but still warm enough that we didn't freeze.

I've seen a sign!

This guy is my hero. We were driving down Ustick when his display and sign made us stop and drool. The sign was at least 12' wide with full moving graphics. His truck out front had a sign company logo on it. Awesome.

Ammon the Ewok

Opening Night

We finally fired up the light show last night and it was an instant hit. So much so, that cars started flooding into the street almost immediately after turning it on. At one point we heard lots of shouting and applause and opened the front door to look outside and find an entire bus full of people out there enjoying the show. NICE!

Look what came in the mail today.

Utah Cyclocross Race

What a wild race. Too many crashes to count. Fun day though... more pics to be posted to my main photo page later.

Just chillin on the couch with dad.

Double Cyborg Sighting

Look close to witness the elusive double cyborg in the wild.

Ammon all ready for bed

At the top of Big Emma

Snowless half-pipe

The scene of my flat tire. So while I rode up this baby the water on my rims froze and I had zero brakes coming back down. I finally stopped by crashing into a huge rock and pinch flatting my front tire. It was quite the surprise to have the rims freeze though... Something to watch out for.

Snowbird Cyclocross Session

Nate, ready to race.

Biking the Bird

The snow is light this year at Snowbird, so we hit the slopes on our cyclocross bikes. Nate was stoked as you can tell from the photo.

Run! There are wild animals around...

No comment required.

Knit fest

Today was a popular day to break out the knitting needles.

Cyborg sighting

The cyborgs must have been in hiding lately as I haven't spotted them out in the wild. The biggest problem may just be actually capturing them on film as this fellow required 4 attempts.
