Happy Birthday Grandpa Taylor

HaPpY BiRtHdAy Grandpa Taylor!

October 16 was my favorite father's birthday. We surprised him by showing up at Stein Erikson's in Deer Valley (where he and my mom were staying) for breakfast. My dad is great and I love him so much. And regardless of what he thinks, I did listen to at least 83% of what lectured me on while growing up.

Dane and Ian love to wrestle with him. Dane enjoys golfing (or just driving the cart) with him.

After the birthday breakfast we hit the Park City dirt jump park for some fun. The kids LOVE this place! It is pretty entertaining to watch Ian ride his scoot bike with no brakes and feet up down the jumps.

Dane is a good little rider and LOVES catching big air.

Trophies, Trophies and More Trophies

(Dane is in the red helmet)

The BMX season started two weeks ago. Dane has had 2 practices and 2 races. He now has 3 trophies. Now multiply one trophy per week by 15 weeks. I am not a math mathmatician or anything but that is a lot of trophies. Also, Ian does the BIG Wheel ride each week and gets a trophy too. Basically we will need to convert an empty room into the Trophy room.

Dane's Best Day of 2009

Dane's first BMX race was quite the adventure. He made it to the semi finals and then came in 5th. He was so proud of himself and thought the trophy was the coolest thing ever. It was so great to see his enthusiasm. He even said he may go to BMX school instead of snowmobile school when he grows up. Way to go Dane!
