Whewwwww

Swedish jealousy is a known concept here in Sweden, today it took on a whole new level when used to justify ones own short comings! I'm amased!

Anyways, just relaxing after an odd kind of day. Both a good and bad one.

I did manage to spend a fortune at my favorite childrens clothing store, Polarn&Pyret and now Noah is ready for the fall. All the boys have new jackets and soon time to jump into winter shopping.

Here's some of Noahs new cool clothes. I like browns and greens but that's apparently not the happening on the boy front this winter. Some really cool purple clothes though! These are like a mix between rain clothes and fall outerwear, he'll probably need a snowsuit but I think I have most of Gabriels stuff saved.

This in red


Very cool jacket


Matching pants


At the same store he got jeans, a shirt, socks, a hat and some mittens, so cute.

Gabriel even got new clothes today, jeans, undies, a shirt and a really nice hoodie.

I surprised F with a super tough pair of Adidas I wanted him to have


Thing is, my goal was to look for curtains! I'm still so extremely design inpared I neeeeeed help!!!

Lead me not into temptation

Fredrik sent me a pic of a bag last night. He opend up a whole new can of worms. One of his Hymer friends had this awesome new bag from George Gina & Lucy , apparently the hottest thing right now in Germany. Now I know that germans aren't usualy the latest fashionists but I trust these up and coming career women. I checked out the site on the web and they do some really cool bags. Not too expensive either. If I'm lucky they'll be in the bag shop at the airport;) If not I might have to order one.

Check these out:

Show some balls (Visa lite stake)

I have had it!!
Gucci will be 2 yrs old in a month and I'm done! That horny little hounddog is getting his jewels cut!
Gucci has always marked, it gets better in periods but always comes back. I can never trust him to be in the living room for example because I never know if he's going to mark on my light couches or my shaggy rug. If I leave him out of his pen when we leave he sneaks upstairs and marks or poos in one of the kids rooms.
About a year ago I bought belly bands:

They are so so, he's so slim so he manages to push them down below his peepee and can go on marking.

In June I bought a new style, pee cup is what they are called and sure, it's better but everytime i go out to pee with him I notice it's wet and I have to change the pantyliner and hand wash it. He even stinks pee when he wears these.


Anyways he was having a better period I thought so I left the pee cup off for a few days, well let me tell you!
Yesterday I got suspiciuos since I forgot to close the door to the living room and sure enough I found wee on my sons blanket and my fancy pillow. Ok ok ok I thought, maybe he was just trying to say he needed attention. When I went to wash the damn pillow it was hand wash only!! I hate hand wash! Ggrrrr

This morning I got dressed and headed to the laundry room for one of my nice knitted sweaters I wanted to wear. I hang alot of my good clothes and this one hung and the arms hung down. Put it on and was sitting having my coffee when I noticed a funky smell. Pulled one arm up to my nose and no, it was ok. Pulled the other arm up to my nose and burried my face in it and took a whiff, ohhh my goodness! Yuuukkkk, it stunk marking pee!! GUCCI!!!!!!

I got home from my trip to the city and came home and went out with the dogs. Came in and after a little bit I see Gucci running out of our mud entrance where I had forgotten to close the door. YEP you guessed it, he marked in there on my boot heater! I put his pee cup on him and next time I took them out to pee it was wet again!!!!!
Sorry, I'm pulling hair here. When you talk to chihuahua owners they will tell you there dogs are house broken but they mark! What's the difference really?
Shows go great for Gucci and I probably could lease him out to breed but I've had it! I'm calling the vets and he's getting kastrated! Everytime I threaten him with it, it's like he knows what I mean because he usually gets better for a while hahahaha.
Alot of people say it can get better or completely stop, the marking. Some say it hasn't helped there dogs at all. We'll see but I have to try.

Here's the peeing wizzard

Baby steps

Yep, you read it right! That little ball of mean energy has started taking his first steps! Started a couple of weeks ago and he would stand some, then about a week ago he tried one step before he fell. Now, NOW! today he exploded! up to about 8-9 steps at a time! I'm guessing within about a week he'll have it down.

Of course I'm trying to get pics but I think I'm scared to download my pics. Something tells me there are about 124 or so and all beautiful enough to show. That means alot of work for me! I'm getting there.

Here's my sons walking schedules:

Kyle- about 14 months, he had no hurry and still has no hurry
Andrew- 11 months, and yes, he's always in a hurry
Gabriel- 8 months!! Not as fun as you might think, he's been early with everything! When he turned one he could talk 2-3 word sentances, people looked at him with amazement. He still has the gift of gab for sure.
Noah- 10 months, which is a small miracle, I thought he'd never even crawl considering how much I carry that baby but low and behold, he's on the move.

I know I know

I think everytime i sitt here that I'm going to write or show pics but I never get that far!
Happenings this week:
Suspect that Jake has an under bite, means no shows for him or puppies!
Gabriel started kindergarten! So proud!
Kyle started high school!!!! I can't believe it.
Andrew started the 6th grade and is now big man on campus.

Lot's of pics to come soon, promise!

Sexbomb- apparently not me

There's a wonderful chain of stores in Sweden, well they're more than just in Sweden, called Lush and while in Piteå at the convention I stocked up on some luxurious bath bombs.

My hubby, realising the errors of his way, has repented and we are back on speaking terms. We decided to take a bath yesterday evening and I threw in a "Sexbomb" in the water. While in the bath our friend T calls to get the details for Saturday evenings tapas party.

F to T- I'm in the tub and Lori threw in one of those sexbombs (giggles)
T to F- ohhh now you have two sexbombs in there
F to T- ????ehhhhhh???? two sexbombs???

I laugh, T laughs and finally F says OOOHHHHHH, now I get it!!!

Road Trip 7- Home!

Well we're home again finally! See all my spelling mistakes in previous inserts but I'll fix it later.
Extremely bad moods around here so I wont write long. I wont get too personal about that, what's the use?
I know, my back is free, I'm loooooooooooong from perfect but I love you my sons. When asked, I'll proudly say, I did it all for them. Not everyone around here can say the same.

Another article about Hymer!

Sister- I love you, I'm so glad we are more than just sisters, you are truely my best friend! Usually when asked I say I have no best friend, everyone I know has someone closer, someone they hold dearer, then a day like today comes. Thank you!

Road Trip 6

My husbands not just "cocky" he's DAMN "cocky".

Well I know I haven't written for a while but Fredrik keeps steeling the modem and when I did have it I was just too busy with the boys. Which means we haven't been bored. The weather has been ok, not swim weather but we are outside and enjoy that.

Funny story:

The campgrounds have a speed limit of 30 km/h. People drive way too fast in here and it's irritating as all hell. The worse people are parents!! We were sitting at the square and I was in buying ice cream one evening when I came out and Fredrik had this huge smirk on his face.
Apparently a man drove by way too fast of course and he'd had enough. He ran the license plate through the DMV's (vägverket) text service and got the mans name, he than called information and got the mans number! He called up the man and said "You just left Piteå Havsbad huh? Yeah, the man said. Well you idiot, you drove way to fast in here, there are children and dogs all over this place. You should know I have filmed you with my camera and the polise are on there way.

HAHAHAHA, can you imagine how scared this man was. He stammered about how he didn't think he drove that fast and bla bla bla, Fredrik just told him that they both know the truth and he better take it easy.
That's one man that wont be driving through this place fast again.



Tons of pics on my cam as usual, be back later!

Road Trip 5

No, the heat and sun did not appear and keep me from my blog yesterday if anybody missed me. My man decided he needed the modem at the show, the nerve! He wanted it today too but I sort of threw a fit. What!?! I'm ms'y you know.

Anyways, more pics to come but right now I'm checking around a bit while Noah is sleeping.

For my Swedish friends, check out this article in the lokal paper

Be back later!

Road Trip 4

Another day in paradise!

Have I even wrote about why we are up i the north of Sweden? Fredriks work usually closes week 32-33 every summer so the "family" can get some time off too. This year they decided to work a convention up here. We have our major convention Elmia every September where we show all the news and happenings, it's huge! This year though, they decided to do Nolia convention too. As it would happen the show is week 32, convenient. We decided to come up with F because he thought it would be a nice way to get a vacation. So he's gone working all day but like I wrote before, there's tons of stuff to do here so we should be just fine!

Bad thing is, the weather sucks today, cold cold cold! So everything the boys want to do cost money. My spoiled little diva sons don't seem to find the huge playground amusing. Best for them they change there mind because we've been here one day and I'm already considering buying a tent for them to stay in.

Our day so far!

We got up and thought we'd eat breakfast outside, it's pretty cold so I had to bundle Noah up!


Then the boys got a little money and ran to the arcade. They got 100kr a piece and it was spent within 15 minutes.


Noah is doing his cool hipp hopper thang


Look at the boys out by the sea, can you imagine how nice this is when the sun is shining and it's warm!?!


Finally we went for some ice cream at the Ice Cream House, this was sooooo good. Waffles with vanilla ice cream and then a sprinkles and syrup buffé! All other inserts about fitness and workouts are voided for the time being.
