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!

Cooking

Making cookies....

 and making banana bread...

 and muffins...they are starting to enjoy baking.  But mostly eating!

Snow Day!

In Athens, GA no school if there's anything white on the ground...

Roller Skating and Ice Skating

Most Saturdays Mom takes the boys roller skating...and they are getting pretty good at it.

 Odin truly loves skating.

 And backwards too!

 On Sunday we went ice skating.  It was the first time Mom had been up on skates in years (like since she was 10 or something...).  No falls!

 The kids, of course, did great.  Our friends Max and Ben joined.

Odin and Ben skating in circles...uh...naturals!
