Some Pics from May

The weather in May has been welcome....even the rain. Jack has utilized the outdoor time to perfect his footwork with the help of several different gait devices. As you would expect, like any young boy he went straight for puddles.

Biking the Goat Creek trail

Jack showed his rugged side once again so that mom and dad could have a day in the mountains

Jack is a little sour that my shocks have a bit more travel than his.

A day in Canmore with the Simson family

Aislin will sit in her basket for extended periods and just survey the action. It also alowed her a chance to be away from the grasp of Jack

A quality Sunday

Aside from my lovely wife being locked in the hospital, I couldn't have written a better script for this past Sunday which started off with a trip to K-country with Jack and the kiwis...

Jack never leaves home without a gormet meal in the backpack.

Thanks to the kiwis for making this trip a reality.

Mountain man, Jack Lawless Thompson

As we drove home, calls came in from several different sources regarding a spontaneous weiner roast. Thanks to Al for orchestrating.

Romy has been working on his walking lately, and decided to put on a show for everyone.

Brian and Ben

Leaves and fleece...not a good combo

Men and their balls...

P Daddy in the house

After a hiatus from the back-country, P-daddy made an appearance on Black Prince. Legs are hurtin' today but the spirits are high.

Brunch at the Maudies

The dynamics have changed a bit in the past couple of years with a bunch of new additions... in place of talk about new skis, mountain bikes etc. there are discussions about the best minivans, and strollers on the market. It takes a bit more effort us all together, but it's that much more rewarding when this great group of friends can pull together.

Thanks to the Maudies for hosting

The Storky's new edition: congrats guys

D-partners--axe and smash

After trapping his pumpkin between a world globe and the couch, Roman pauses to ponder his latest travels.

It's only fitting that Jack give this Newfie the "fish hook"

I can't believe how gentle Kate is with Jack. Even after he tried some wrestling moves on her.

One man band: Evolution of a Master

Various Feb photos

Finn's b-day party: AL informed me that it's a big mistake to grab the sleeve of a plaid-wearing Kotenay man...Jack learned his lesson that day. That was dirty Romy.




Kyle showed his displeasure when Finn told him he wanted to become a goaltender...well you can see the effect it had on the little man, and hearing that he was dissapointing his dad....

Trip to Golden

Managed to get out for a really nice day in Roger's pass. It's not often the bluebirds are flying, but we were lucky enough to see some of the places that we always new were back there somewhere.

Kip, looking solid...

Kip's special arse in pow landing.

It was great to hook up with Andrea and Dave. These two are living the life in Golden.

Dave, working on his power turn

Andrea floating through some wet pow...

It's amazing those poles can actually hold me up!

Kip and Jill out for a cruise (photo by Heather)

Heather as a great eye, and she managed to capture some sweet photos of the little man like the next two with mom and Jill.

Need I say anything
