2009 is coming to a close and so is another iphoto folder. I snapped away over 10,000 pictures this year combined with work. My trusty iphone took over 1200 photos alone! This year has been both good and bad for me. My health is better than it has ever been, my family doing great and my riding is getting stronger. On a down note, work is getting dismal. 2009 has also been a year of many firsts for me as you will see below! I can only hope that the good parts of 2009 continue into 2010 and that things get better around the office.

I pulled some of my favorite shots from 2009 to share with you. These aren’t the best pictures because of their quality, they are simply fun moments that have stuck in my head. Hope you enjoy them as much I as enjoyed living each one. The photos are in no particular order.

Happy 2010!

I haven’t had a surprise birthday party since I was 18! Thanks guys!

Oktoberfest! Carrie is a ham for the cam

Like a kid in a candy store, Rose was ear to ear when his new toolbox arrived!

Sushi was the food of choice for gatherings this year… so many nights just like this one

I stole her nose at least 10 times!

I know I don’t have a lot of family photos but I had a great Holiday with everyone. Christmas was all about the kids this year and they made out like bandits. I wish I had video going of Matt when he opening my gift!

If you grew up in Irvine than you know Rod. The only midnight ice cream man on the block. He only sells ice cream, right?

Jen and Chris sure to love to play patty cake!

She also likes to do his nails for him (don’t worry Chris I wont upload the “other” photos)

One of the many fun trips to see Bo! Bo loves to ride the rabbit express

This is kinda one of those ” you had to be there moments ” but the pic does help

Nothing like hooking up Xmas lights, outdoors, in the rain, with power tools!

One of the model images I snapped this year… just love this shot

One of the few SS runs I made on my bike while it was converted. Chris is number one.

When my Air9 was SS… just couldn’t get it working right

These two, I tell ya, they love the cam!

This year in Vegas they introduced herpie pong, oh wait I mean beer pong in the casinos. Gross…

2009 brought my first road event. Tour de Foothills metric century

First time I caught someone watching porn at Starbucks

First time I humped Sponge Bob

First time I was offering mustache rides!

James is seriously a baller

The 50cc races at the Monster/Kicker SEMA party were awesome!

Along with the build of my Niner Air9 also came my Roubaix Pro SRAM

My Ellsworth is now gone but will never be forgotten. So many great rides on her!

Lake Arrowhead

Curious what 700lbs of ice looks like? This was our load for the Rose Halloween Party!

My first 12 hour race. Chris and I raced this as a team in Jan. Nam and Chris were pretty liquored up slappin me on the ass tellin me to go go go!

Dr. Shivers kept good watch over his laboratory at the Halloween party. Another successful one in the books! Can’t wait for next year!

Got to spend a little time with Sonya twice in 2009! This is one of my fav shots from Interbike. Hangin with smokin hot ladies! Did I also mention they are PRO and one’s a World Champ? That’s how I roll…

I can’t recall the date from this ride at El Moro with Craig and Chris but the look on Craig’s face is priceless! He just took some cactus in the foot. Ouch!

Another chance to hang with some top ladies… Allison and Sonya cruising ahead

My first Counting Coup. Jason snapped this shot of me coming down the Motorway

My first Team Big Bear US Cup race. I started off very slow but finished 6th out of 15. Not bad considering the top 3 in my class were total sandbaggers.

My dad was in town this year and took us to see the Pirates show in Anaheim. Here we are with Matt and Beth on our shoulders

Mike stabbed just about every girl at the party.. Here he is killing Lady Gaga.. haha checkout the girls expression behind Mike haha

The ladies and I took over Chris’ bed at Vickie’s party… haha Chris is saying “Hey that’s mine!”

I’ll never forget my PA trip. Got in some great mud slingin racing action and got to hang with a cute girl too!

My brief moment in the lime light. Jason snapped some great shots of us for his portfolio.

My first 12 hour solo race produced my first bike award. I was happy

So many great shots of Steph from that race! “Chris get that damn camera out of my face”

No year is complete without some blow up guitar solo jams right?

Well, that’s it for now. I am sure I have 100 more pictures I can add to this post. Maybe I will later. Bring on 2010!
