Odin turns 10

Odin had his birthday party this past weekend (he turns 10 in 2 days).  He wanted to have a sleepover with a bunch of his friends.  And that's exactly what we did, except I don't think they slept very much!

Bjorn and Mom had their own special evening and night.  We had Thai dinner and spent the night in a hotel.

The Boys

Just some cute pictures of our lovely boys.  Sometimes they really enjoy each other...

 This picture was taken at 5:30am.  Bjorn woke extra early bc he was excited to see what the tooth fairy was going to bring him.  Lucky boy it was legos!

First Day of 1st and 5th

Today was the first day of school for the boys!  Bjorn is going into 1st and Odin into 5th grade.  Both boys agreed the first day was the best day :-)

This weekend, the boys baked breakfast bars with Mom.  Undoubtedly cooking in your underwear is the best.

 We also started thinking about a hiking/backpacking/camping trip.  We did some inventory of camping gear and practice this week.

Family trip to the beach

The boys requested a trip to the beach...so we went!  We stayed at Litchfiled Resort and it really was fabulous.  We can't wait to come back!

The boys

Bjorn continues to enjoy taekwondo!  He advanced a belt after the two week intensive summer camp.

 Odin lost a tooth!

And our Saturday morning tradition of going to Ike and Jane for breakfast continues...

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!
