Flash from the past....

A friend sent these pictures of Nathan with her dog, a few years back....

Nathan has always loved dogs.  This was at Pat and Shawn Elliott's trailer the summer that Nathan turned 2.  We had gone back up north for Sheila's wedding.  Pat was the scrub nurse in the OR when I worked in Peace River.  Thanks for the flashback, Pat!

Lax to the Max Tournament

Jay in net.

Medicine Hat has a lacrosse tournament at home.  The boys had 3 games to play in the round robin and ended up playing for bronze.

Jay shaking hands with the High River team.

They have a professional photographer at the tourney.  This was a good shot of Jay and you can see him blocking the ball.  I didn't think it was a $25 shot though and none of the other pictures that could go in a collage were this good.

The screen shot of Carson, the only photo of him that the professional got.  What can I say, he is too speedy to catch on film!

Jay receiving his Bronze medal - he did not stop grinning all day!

The Bronze winners!  The beat the other Medicine Hat team in the bronze medal game.  It was a tough win.

As part of the tourney they have raffles set up.  We spent $10 on ten tickets and I let the boys put the tickets in on whatever prize they wanted.  Jay and Nathan both choose this mini vending machine as a good option, and one of our tickets won.

The haul.  They were so excited to eat all their candy.

Investiture at Cub Scouts

Every year the new cub scouts are invested at a ceremony.  Tonight was Jay's investiture.  In addition to this the boys receive their badges that they have earned for the year.

Piano Recital

Unfortunately I didn't catch his wave to the crowd as he sat down and casually turned through the pages of his book to find his songs.  He is such a ham, and loves being the centre of attention!

After a long school year of practising piano, tonight was the year end recital.  We were a little late because of lacrosse but we made it and here are some pictures to prove it.

Sadly the videos did not turn out the way they should.  You catch a little bit of his attitude here, though!

Jay, Mr Serious, at the piano.
