 Noelle threw her back out on Saturday stopping her sled.  She has 3 herniated discs that keep acting up.  She has been resting and working to back healthy for race day. (She's not faking the crooked back, if she is, she has me fooled and she is going to pay for it! :) If all else fails, she will be able to at least lay on her sled to finish the race, but we're hoping for better.

 This is the view the Racers have from the start of the Calgary track.

 Lacee doing what she loves to do on the Water slide! We have swim lessons everyday.

Just an idea on how to entertain your kids while grocery shopping.  I didn't recommend this, Traycen just started doing it on his own.

Airport Rodeo to Calgary :)

Calgary in Sights!

We had a long week of commercial shooting with our new Sponsor AT&T! (Stay tuned for some pics of the shoot later). It took up the whole week and left us only Friday to pack and get ready for our now 2 week trip to Calgary for the first Skeleton World Cup race of the season.

Airport Rodeo Caught Live!!!

Noelle caught an awesome view of the track (on her new AT&T LG G2 Smartphone) with the snow-makers in the background.

That's right! Our hotel has a pool and a slide!  The kids love it!

US Skeleton National Trials Race 4: Park City

Race 4 Finished a week ago with Noelle winning the 4th and final National Team Trials race.  For some reason it always seems harder to update the blog when we're home. But here are a few pictures from that night.

Thank you everyone for coming out to support Noelle!  There was an amazing crowd, one that would rival the Olympic crowd! 98% of which was there for Noelle!  Check out the night below.

 Noelle is waving to the enormous crowd at the start, just after she loaded onto her sled!

 Noelle Pikus-Pace having fun with some of the fans!

 This is just a portion of the many people there to cheer Noelle on!

This is the Noelle's perspective as she gets ready to slide down the track.  It looks pretty intimidating knowing that all of these people are expecting you to do your best!  She does a great job at that!
