Boy Scouts Banquet

Handsome boys!

Mom's Lifetime Experience

For the first time in Mom's life she won second place OVERALL female in a race.  The race went 1.8 miles downhill and then right back up (1.8 miles UPHILL).  The run down the hill was hardest as Mom is a really strong uphill runner. The run was held in a quarry.  Her bestie, Channette, ran w her and pushed her all the way down the long hill.

Getting the awards!

BOYS!

Sometimes they play nicely together...

Family Cruise

We took a cruise...our first ever and it was fabulous.  Grandma Fern, Brandon, Mary, the girls and our family all went.  So much fun and really relaxing...

The first stop was Jamaica.  We went "bobsledding" and hiked up a waterfall (yes, literally hiked through the rushing water!).

In Mexico we took a boat ride and did some snorkeling.  The kids were amazed at the colors in the fish they saw.

 Bjorn hung with Grandma Fern as much as possible.

And the ship was fabulous with lots of pools, frozen dessert drinks...

 and a very exciting night life!

and a family dress picture...

Skiing weekend

This weekend we took the kids skiing.  It was too warm and rain was in the forecast, but the kids did NOT care.  They had a blast.  Both went to ski school the first day and were off and running after...

Bjorn and Odin weekend adventures

We had a big day on Saturday.  Bjorn tested for his high green belt...

 And, of course, we went roller skating (something we know do every Saturday;-).  Odin loves the races and they are a super big deal to him...

He raced a super awesome race and won against some good competition.

Cooking...Again!

This weekend the kids insisted on making banana bread at 6:30am!
