Cameron's Hockey Game

This weekend, Cameron had a couple of hockey games.  For one of the, Tim took the camera out on the bench and took a bunch of pictures during the game.  Cameron is pretty easy to spot - he is the only one on his team in the white helmet.

Afternoon on the Rink

The weather today was a bit warmer and it wasn't snowing, so Daddy, Leah and Cameron headed out to do some skating on the rink.

Silly girl picking up the chair!

More skating

They had fun out there!!

A Day in Skaneateles

This weekend Cameron had a hockey tournament in Skaneateles.  On Saturday the whole family went to his games, grabbed lunch at a great little restaurant in town and did some geocaching with Uncle Matt and Aunt Gina.  It was a fun day.

Cam doesn't have a problem with being aggressive

Uncle Matt and Aunt Gina came to check out Cam's last game.  Afterwards we headed out into the village of Skaneateles to grab some geocaches.

Beautiful Skaneateles waterfront

It was a lot of walking so Leah got tired, so she suckered Uncle Matt into carrying her for a while.

Cameron's Hockey Games

This weekend, Cameron had a hockey practice on Friday night and a game on Saturday morning (his birthday!).

Ready for practice

Waiting with his team to get on the ice

Cameron is in net - he loves playing goalie!

He looks so small out there.

On Saturday morning, Cameron's team had a game against Valley.  This is the same team that he played a few weekends ago and they are well-matched.  When he got there, his coach told him that he would be playing goalie in the game that day.  What a great birthday surprise for Cameron!

Cameron the goalie - so cute!

Aaron did not find the game very exciting

Leah, on the other hand, loved being at the game!

And here is a video of Cameron making a save!

Cameron's First Mites Hockey Game

Cameron's first hockey game on the Mite White team was this weekend.  Daddy is out of town camping with his friends, so Mama gets to take all three kiddos to Cameron's first game.  The game was an away game at Meachem Rink in Syracuse, Cameron's Midstate team is playing against the Valley team.

My adorable Cameron

Wearing his jersey from last year, but such a big boy!

Leah wanted a picture with Cameron.  Unfortunately neither of them wanted to look at the camera for that picture!

Cameron is in the red jersey (#1) and white helmet - playing defense like he loves to do.

Cam's got the puck and is going towards the goal!

Going to get the puck

My hockey boy

Cameron is not afraid to commit the body when he goes after the puck.

Right in the middle of things

Cameron is also not afraid to take out other kids in his pursuit of the puck!

I love how Cameron is still in this picture and pretty much everyone else is in blurred motion.  Cam is ready for the pass in front of the net!

It was a great game and Cameron had a blast.  Mama, Leah and Aaron loved watching the game!!

Aaron's First Crunch Game

The Syracuse Crunch went all the way to the Calder Cup finals this year, so even though Aaron was born in May, he got to go to three Crunch games!  Not that he really watched much of the game - for the most part he just slept.  Considering that they were playoff games and were EXTREMELY loud, I guess that is an accomplishment!

Tucked into the sling, taking a snooze

All three kiddos.  Not the best shot of Cam.  :-P

Leah waving to the players

Then she realized the camera was on her so she started to ham it up!

Two sleepy boys

Aaron wearing his Crunch onesie!

And don't worry, we had little ear plugs in his ears so the major noise didn't bother Aaron at all.  We can't wait to take him to games next year when he'll be more into watching the game and checking out what is going on.
