Back to School!

This is what school did to my little Jack

Fish Pond and Family

Biorn Family Reunion.  Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Here are the details:

• Rough start leaving dodge on Friday night (including losing my wallet and luckily finding it on the side of road)
• Changed hotel rooms (went to the front desk to ask for a light bulb for a lamp in a dark corner and was asked if we wanted to change rooms when a light bulb couldn't be located - said Yes! if it include a room with AN AIR CONDITIONER THAT WORKED! - it did - good call asking for a light bulb.)
• I was in charge of the fish pond.
• Freeman Park had a wedding going on and an incredibly intense frisbee golf competition.
• My children look like these relatives.
• LaRon kept referring to the pinata as the pina colada . . . it was funny!

All these frisbee-ers had these fancy backpacks that held at least a dozen frisbees, some of the bags even converted into seats while they waited for others to throw

the whole clan eating (note the white fish pond sheet on the right side)

my cute kids

Jack's long lost twin, Carly (don't you think they at least look pretty related?) 

Jack and Carly's mom would be 2nd cousins so I think that makes these guys "2nd cousins once removed"

The Neighborhood Gang

My 3 year old has a thing for older men.  She loves to play with the neighborhood boys who range from age 4 to 8.  Molly even got invited to the birthday party of one of these boys on Saturday.  Jack just loves to be outside, so he'll play with anyone.

This particular summer night included cardboard boxes and bungee cords.  It was all fun and games until the older boys started taking each other for laps around our house.  They got a little out of control and the bungee cord finally ripped away from the cardboard, hitting a kid in the nose.  There was  little blood, but he was ok.  We stopped, cleaned up, had popsicles, and were done for the night.

In no particular order . . .

Snack break on an adventure to the U to find Uncle Willie's classes

Unfortunately, Molly was not on her best behavior during this adventure, but did stop for a moment . . . 

 . . . . while Willie ran in this super cool new building to find 2 of his classes.

Neighborhood concert (near my parent's neighborhood) with Dan Riggs and his band, Crosstrung.
