Jake as a cadet!
This is Jakob's second year as an Air Cadet and he loves it. Right now he is doing biathalon and has done a ton of great things with cadets. He has flown an airplane.. a few times. Done Survive Air, sports, been on the Volleyball team and won gold. He has gone to 3 different camps and iis going again in a few weekends. He is so darn adorable in his cadet uniform too!
1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians......
Seriously the cutest little indians I ever did see!
It is Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend!The Insane Kids that visit! Yes Ali and Nick!
Ali pretending to be a sweet girl~
Jake being attacked by Ali...INSANE! What did she write? Jake + who??? Oh of course Kathleen~
Nick ummm
...INSANE!
Nick and Jakob and Takoda wrestling!
Tim was not home but they are ALL in there...wait Tim was in California!Scuba Jake
All is going well for Jake and his studying to be a scuba diver...except the fact that we live in Alberta!
He has studied his PADI course and now is going to take his confined water dive certification and then wait until January to take his open water in Mexico! 
It is great to see him dedicate himself to learning. I have found myself wondering about letting the kids learn naturally when they surface learn. It seems to me that so many 'interests' last a few weeks and even a few hours sometimes. I am currently trying to balance out what my expectations are for them and where they can freely learn. That is a new challenge for me lately. It is not all fun and simple. I expect a lot more out of the kids as I notice they are forming lazy habits!

Biathlon Training!
Jakob is doing an amazing job training for Biathlon!
(bīăth'lŏn) , sport in which cross-country skiers race across hilly terrain, occasionally stopping to shoot with rifles at sets of fixed targets. The biathlon features the 10-km (6.2-mi) sprint, in which contestants shoot at two sets of targets; the 12.5-km (7.8-mi) pursuit, in which contestants shoot four times and start at intervals determined by their finish in the sprint; the 20-km (12.5-mi) race with four shooting stops; and a relay race with four 7.5-km (4.7-mi) legs and two shooting stops per leg. The women's individual races are shorter: a 7.5-km (4.7-mi) sprint, a 10-km (6.2-mi) pursuit, and a 15-km (9.3-mi) race. Competitors are penalized for each missed target by having a standard length added to the course distance that they must complete, or by having a minute added to their time. The control of fine motor skills and breathing required to shoot after the skiing segment makes this a demanding sport. Biathlon competition developed from the military training of ski troops. The sport first became an official part of the Winter Olympics in 1960.
