2012 in review.... Jan.- June

-
Unbelievable how fast the years FLY by when you are an adult...
Overall... it was a pretty good year... settled into my job... made some wonderful memories with my children.. and we were all healthy... (knock on wood).

January...  We rang in the New Year with good friends,good food & good drink...
And I got to party with MADCON... totally earned some cool points with my kids.. :-)









 Eva started playing HANDBALL--- and proved to be an AWESOME goalie



Feburary-   I turned 40 - again...
& my babies threw me the best party ever... my sweet,sweet son- took all of his savings, road the bus into town & bought me the Michael Kors wallet I had been wanting...   can we all just say  awwww - ?

 I did alot of traveling around Norway for work...

March- after waiting a long time for Eva to start losing her baby teeth... they finally started coming out fast and furious. 
she also entered her first dance competition
- Dane I spent a lot of time at the beach taking pictures together...
 

April-  was all about our friends...
Eva & her girls working on the never ending tree house...

My best friend from HS..finally made it over to see me in Norway--
Kell & I have been through thick & thin in ou 25 years of friendship...
no matter ow much time passes between our visits.. some things never change...

May... my favorite guy became a teenager... and we decided to celebrate by taking a mom & son trip to LONDON..
best part of the birthday was meeting Bella Thorn & Zendaya at the tower of London..
& of course we can't forget my kiddos on Norway's National day..


June -  was filled up with end of school parties...  Dane was FINALLY out of elementary school..  7th grade
and Eva finished 2nd

We spent every nice day on the water - while we counted the days until VACATION

Hope you and yours have a wonderful New Year!!!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
