walking fool

Picture 1 - Katie thinks I am sick of crawling. Lets get this show on the road.
Picture 2 - Katie thinks I can do this, little woobly but okay.
Picture 3 - Try and catch me people. I am a running fool.
PS - take note that when she is concentrating she sticks her tongue out just like Richie! so scary!

birthday maddness

i know certain people, you know who you are, have been picking on us for putting up too many pictures of Katie but this one is legit! here is her 1st birthday pictures. scary she is one... everyday she gets a little crazier! good grief.

few of my favorite things

Here is a bit o bike bling, some of the things I have chosen to be put to service on one of my favorite bikes. I tried to choose some parts that have been proven over time or I lusted over since the early days but never had the moola. Started with the frame from cove bikes in british columbia we all know the canucks can ride some burly stuff so should kast me a while (thanks Tara love you). I hung a lot of good stuff king, thomson, hope, salsa, sram,marazocci, easton and mavic. this is my bike to pimp all the rest of them get to stay pretty basic but this one gets the good stuff. Still i would love to get some king hubs with stans olympic rims and the hope 2 piece rotors to finish it up. Someday.

Gladiators?

Here is a bunch of characters,just glad we had the excuse of halloween to act crazy. Tara made us the costumes on the cheap, but cheap doesn't mean cheesy, well maybe a bit but the costumes won us first prize. I made sheilds out of cardboard and ductape. good times whooooooo.

riding...

Wel the time has come for Katie to figure out the finer things in life, self propusion through the power of the pedal. Uncle Jimmy will be proud. Though she can't quite reach the pedals, pulling from her tricycle isn't the easiest thing to do usually ends in tears. We walked her for a couple of blocks and she didn't need any help at all. Seems like she is a natural soon she will be yelling at me to keep up. can't wait.

Aunt Debbie

here is katie with my Aunt Debbie, Katie loved her she had all the songs thatcalmed Katie down and she is just a very loving person.

think I can

Katies contemplating doing somthing mischevious you can see it in her eyes and the way the tounge comes out in utra concentration mode. She seeems to be thinking now that I have dads wallets where can I put it where he will never find it.

flushed

there has been reports of gigantic babies turning up in the sewers of america, Katie in her everlasting quest to explore the myths and get into evrything she can tried to investigate this mystery. Well sems she didn;t quite make it.

chilly girl

Ahhh, what do we have here. pickles ,eggs, tomatos, aha dad's beer he wont mind. here is katie sporting the latest in diaper fashion got to love her.

family

3 generations of law right here...

raiding the fridge

this is definatey my genes! nothing like a midnight snack in your huggies and socks!

helping dad

helping dad and grandpa put in the new lights. i don't think she would hold the ladder too well!

sooo close....

evil kinevil is on the verge of walking. she also likes to stand on tables and do other craziness.. oh sigh, we're in for a wild ride!

buddies

caught both of 'em at the scene of the crime! these two are completely in love. while sammy-cat intrugues katie and sophie just confuses her with the barking kelty is definately her love buddy. of course kelty hates all the attention! ha ha.

western sunset

Much more spectacular in person but here is a taste of the sunsets out here on the island.

Katie's climbing

Well you hear that your kid will be a reflection of you and give you the same trouble you gave your parents. Well Katie has started climbing into everything, The only problem is that she climbs into it and can't get out, won't be long until she is climbing tree's and giving Tara and i heart attacks on a daily basis.

Deception views

Well with camping in Washington ypu cant go to far without seeing some good views. The view from above is from goose rock which is a nice little 2 mile hike up hill with very steep trails. The bridge is the deception pass bridge which is about 320 foot above the water, the water below is usually pretty violent with the tide coming in or out. Last but not least is me showing of my version of paradise as long as there is no sand I'm happy, and this place is beautiful.

Camping

Well here are the first couple pics of Tara and my camping trip to Deception pass. Kind of a shakedown trip for our hope to do more camping in the future. Tara is hiding in our Bugaboo tent, that thing is huge but it will hold us and our growing bear. And of course there is me I can neer seem to keep my feet on the groubd if there is somthing to climb.

Bubble monster

ll here is proof thta not all of us Laws object to bathing, well the women don't anyways! she seems to be saying, Dad whta is that camera doing in here? I'm not so sure I want that camera in here!

Little monster

Well I always knew my kid would be monster, now I have proof, cutest monster I have ever seen. The older she gets the more fun she is.

After making such a huge jump even Richie is surprised he lived to tell about it. See even old dudes can rock the flow park too!

stolen child

Proof that this child could be stolen. She looks nothing like me... if she didn't look exactly like Richie I would say she was swicthed at birth. I'll still keep her.

Stand up

Oh my god she is standing in her own, I can't believe how big she is getting. She loves to stand in her crib watch me and laugh, I guess i am funny looking. She still won't crawl i guess she figures that rolling is a source of transportation so She can just do that for a while. Well what ever she wants to do she is a lot of fun.

Katies Limo

take one triple equipped cyclocrossbike and one free used bob trailer(thanks Dave) and you have the ultimate bear transport device should be fun, Had her in it twice so far, looked confused but happy.

new stink

Well after months of hinting, scheming and planning, I finally caught tara in a sleep deprived moment of weakness. I finally replaced my aging 02 stinky deelux with an 06 version, Got a sweet deal from the shop and couldn't pass it up considering I paid less for the entire bike than some of the frames I was considering. Well I coudn't leave alone and had to put a couple of my personel touches on it but not many, oury grips and WTB downhill twinply tire to replace the single ply it came with. Took the bike to whistler ti ride with Richie Schley in the bike camp (thank you Tara and family)and the bike was sweet 10 foot drops felt like 3 foot. the bie has more potential than I have skill. Hopefully I can get you some action shots soon.

camping bear

Katie has been anticipating a camping trip so much so she couldn't wait and had to pull out a sleeping bag to try it out. Looks comfy Katie should be fun.

Been a while since i had a chance to post, Katie is getting big, a little to fast! She has 7 teeth now. She knows how to use them i have the scars to prove it. Been pretty busy Tara sent me to Bike camp in whistler to ride with Richie Schley, Had a great time but I had such a good time i forgot to take pics, Well I will try to get more pics later. Got a new bike before the camp replaced a 02 stinky deluxe witha 06 stinky deluxe again i will have pics later. Just don't think I forgot about this page just been busy.

Here is Katie with my buddy Jose, Katie doesn't look so sure of it at the moment but she loves him.

Here is Tara and the bear in front of the cabin in vermont. This place alot of fun out in the middle of vermont so it has no traffic or sirens or anything. It's a good place to do nothing which is fun in itself.

on the road again... not long until i am gonna need my own ride!

smokin' baby!!! hanging out in the chimnea, my toes are getting hot!

daddy and me

So she is finally starting to look like me. People still think she's cute :). She's growing up so fast I can't turn my head for a second and she's rolled across the floor.
