Trampoline at Grandmas house

We went to Grandmas house today.  Marius and Bear enjoyed the trampoline.  It is 6pm and 103 degrees Fahrenheit (close to 35 degrees Celsius) and we are headed home to jump in the pool.
Hasta La Vista, Dad.                

Bear went to his classmates (Grant) birthday party today while Marius, AJ and Dad went to the arcade.  Mom had a well deserved brake today, so Dad was on duty.  AJ and Marius had a great time.  They both enjoyed car racing.  It was cheap, Marius had just as much fun without tokens, while AJ needed a few tokens while he was becoming quite the experienced driver.  I am glad we still have a few years before AJ becomes eligible for driving.

Bear and Marius are enjoying themselves in our pool. The best time to swim in Phoenix is at night. Marius loves to swim, and Bear enjoys his company. I just performed a back flip into the pool and landed violently, I am now sitting at the edge nursing my wounds. I was never good at this when I was twenty, and I am still not good at this at forty. Bear thought my backflip was very funny though.

This is a picture of Bear from our last years trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Bear and Dad is excited about next week.  Bear is starting on a 8 man soccerteam with Dad as the coach.
Later, Dad.

This is our "goodlooking" Marius.  The last few days, has been a troubling few days.  It has now been about 2 months since Marius was diagnosed with Autism.  We have been very concerned but have hope in that his talking is improving, and he seems to be doing better.  Our occupational therapist said this week that we have some more signs that he is Autistic.  He has "sensory issues" that are typical of Autism.  He does not like to hold hands together with some other sensory issues.  We now have to help Marius with these sensory issues by deep pressure manupulations, pillow fighting (this is going to be fun), playing with play dough, using swings, trampoline etc.  We keep hoping his situation will improve.

Dad

AJ went to a Yu-Gi-Oh card tournament yesterday.  He did really well according to his opponent, however, his opponent discovered later that AJ had false Yu-Gi-Oh cards.  Dad was very embarassed but claimed ignorance.  AJ had no idea that there was false cards in existence.  Dad had no idea either, in fact, dad and mom have no idea how to play the game.  We will be back next Friday, AJ seemed to really enjoy the game.

Dad

This is our great Marius who does have the attraction to motorized vehicles.  He loves his electrical ATV and he does his best driving in the nude.

Day one of the Wold's blog

Wow
I have now setup our blog!! I guess that now the expectation will be that I put pictures up and write stories about what is going on in our personal life. I figure this is a great way to communicate with my Norwegian friends and family also. Since my history is great as far as letters and updates to friends and family in Norway??!! I am now going to email pictures from my phone to my computer so that I can post them here.
