Bling it on

Bling up your pics here, so tacky and cute!

I don't know but I hope the bling is going to work here...let's try!



GGRRRr it didn't work and I don't know why? Help me it lovers, why doesn't the blinky stuff work when I post pics like this?

Windy!

Boy do I really hate the wind! I can take rain and snow over windy days anytime! It's been crazy in Sweden this past year. We've always had wind storms from time to time but now it's a few times a week and I can't stand it. Poor Rosie headed out to pee a bit ago and she almost got blown away. The wind really caught hold of her.

Oh well, what can you do? Move? I'm still an american citizen, maybe I can talk hubby in to sunny California or Florida?

Spoiled Baby

Well here we are all getting sick! Poor little Noah has a really bad cold, Gabriel says his throat hurts and my face is killing me, hope it doesn't get worse because I'm already worn out!

One little girl here though is becoming very spoiled. Bless her. We've never let the dogs in our bed. Mostly because we always have kids in our bed and our bed is really high. We do always say that as soon as we don't have the boys in our bed then we'll be so lonely so the dogs can come.
Rosie still sleeps in her little crate at night and Kyle and I take turns, just so she gets used to both of us. I take her up at night and I try putting her next to Fredrik but she just tries to get out and follow me so I take her in the bathroom with me while I brush my teeth and clean my face. After that we go to bed and cuddle for a while until Kyle comes to get her. She will NOT lay on me or cuddle too close, but If I leave or move she's looking for me.



The other night I took her to Kyles room first, poor thing kept trying to jump out of his bed to come back and follow me. When I hid and looked back in she was as far stretched as she could looking for me. I couldn't resist and took her for an hour to my bed.

She follows me everywhere! She can be in a dead sleep on the couch and Fredrik can be in here but if I get up and move out of the room for some reason she jumps down and follows me. If she's doing anything at all, and hears me coming, she comes running. Funny thing is, she's not much for cuddling close or lying on my chest for some love, but she's definately mammas girl.

(this is just a little insert to remind me later how precious my little baby girl is at 12½ weeks old)

Now I could kill for some chocolate or some Ben&Jerrys ice cream!!!!

Twilight Zone

What a weekend and I just don't know anymore. I consider myself a person with loads of self insight. I actually wished for a book for Christmas from my sons called "The New Earth". Just to get more help and knowledge with my bad sides, to find more harmony from inside. I'm well aware of my bad sides and good sides. What I don't get is that other people aren't!

I don't want to get into details because I have nothing to gain, but a few things have happend over the weekend that just make me wonder how other people think? It's like there's no more morals anywhere!



On the other hand, I'm so happy and going to focus on that. Had a nice weekend with shopping with my friend(found money in my wallet from hubby too:):), good food, nice talk with a friend that visited today, played outside with the dogs and my sons, hubby was there too, the boys and F went to the movies today and alot of other stuff!

I haven't changed one single diaper today either! F has put Noah to bed and gotten up with him in the mornings, so I've been pretty spoiled.

Bless my beating heart

Glöm inte, passa på och fynda HÄR

Yesterday I saw the cutest, most adorable Gucci ever! Guccioli! I think Gucci should portray elagance and glamour but lets face it, if I had enough money to buy new Guccis all the time this whole series would be bought!

Blog Help?

I fell into a blog yesterday, Muppsan , and it has the nicest design. You mostly see blogs here on a Swedish site so I hardly every see blogs from Blogger that are redesigned. Now I'm begging for help:) Anybody know how I can get my blog looking nice and have links and such in it. HELP please!

Wish List

Time for Christmas and like a million other blogs I wonder what you wish for?

Keep in mind whilst writing this I'm extremely pms'y but around here this is how it has gone.
F asks med what I wish for, I tell him. Both big and small things. In the next tiff we have he tells me I'm spoiled and wish for really expensive things and put pressure on him. I decided fine, I'm never wishing anything again. And I haven't, not for Christmas or my Birthday in the past 3-4 years. In these years here are just some of the presents that I have recieved(which makes your head really spin because olot of them are really expensive and more than I ever asked for):

30G Video Ipod
2 pairs of AWESOME Bose earphones, both in and on ears
Gold necklace (worth almost $1000)
$500 cash one year when we were going to the USA in Jan and even other things
Thomas Sabo Jewelry
Dyrberg&Kern Jewelry
Gucci bag and wallet(this was just a surprise though and not a b-day or xmas gift)

And so on, none of this is wished for but of course deeply apreciated.


Anyways, my wishlist is blänk again this year but my head is full of all the lovely things I want to buy for my loved ones. Give me your best wishes!

Tävling

Time to try and win again!

Tävling för barnkläder, var med du oxå!
Gå in HÄR för att vara med!

For Sale!

I'm selling a bag and am going to take it in Swedish!

Ni med små hundar som besöker min blogg, passa på och fynda!
Theo Carrier st L (Jag får plats med två chihuahor i den men en åker som en kung utan att det känns för stor och klumpig)Jag köpte denna väskan på WorldDogShow och den är super fin, däremot har jag beställt en ny väska och jag använder inte väskor så mycket för att rättfärdiga att ha en hel hög. Denna väska är använd två gånger och jag gav 1300kr för den.
Det saknas ett litet bling pärla som saknades när jag köpte den men jag upptäckte det när jag kom hem. Alla andra pärlor sitter som berg och jag tror inte några fler ramlar av. Det är inget som märks om man inte vet att den är borta.
Den är köpt hos LeChien och här är en länk till produktinformationen:

http://www.lechien.se/ProduktDetalj.aspx?productID=1229&sc=

Jag har tänkt mig 700kr för väskan, jag kan skicka den eller om du ska på Hund2008(Stockholm) så kan jag leverera den där. Jag kan vänta på löning för betalt och för att skicka väskan men fråga gärna innan!

Gabriel

One handsome little boy on his 6th birthday


He picked tacos for dinner on his day


Mommy and Gabriel baked a special cake "kladdkaka"


On Saturday Fredriks whole family came to visit. Gabriel told everybody: My whole family is coming accept for Granny(mormor). Do you see that mom, your grandson wants you to visit, he truely said this to everyone! Cutie!
Gabriel LOVES! Star Wars so here's a pic of his really cool cake

Heart warming

Pics of the B-day boy are coming but for now, how's this for heart warming. Two very special friends taking a nap together.

That's all folks!

Well we have partied hard but now it's all done for this time. Fredriks family just left and I'm sitting here with a glass of red and just catching my breath. Gabriel fell asleep here beside me and Rosie in the couch and I think Fredrik fell asleep upstairs with Noah. How fun is he?
My kitchen is a mess and I hate to go to bed with the dishes not done but today it's just going to have to wait.

Noah was an absolute joy tonight! For the first time ever he just walked around, played and laughed and was just a cutie. Not a single wine from him. He took his bottle great and I think he's fast asleep by now.

Anyways, pics tomorrow, I'm too tired to fix it now.

xoxoxooxoo

Tomorrow it's time for F's family to come and I'm cooking some dinner pies and I actually ordered a Star Wars cake.

Anyhow, be back later.


Gabriel and Fredrik on his first day of school. I still can't believe my little boy goes in kindergarten!

The love doctor!

I just got Noah to sleep and dared to think I was going to get an hour or two before he latched on to me and wouldn't let go but no, he's fussing already and I'm seriously at my wits end! I even called Fredrik in Germany at about 3 am this morning crying telling him I couldn't take it anymore. Yeah Yeah, just going to give up any thoughts about a quiet cuddle with my dogs and go to bed.

Before I do I have to share the cutest thing (with Kyles permission of course). Apparently he wrote in to the radio with some advice to a girl with some love problems and they called him and asked him to be on live radio. I was outside with the dogs and if you listen real close you can hear Gabriel in the background when he's yelling for me to turn the radio on.

Sorry, it's in Swedish so it's only for my Swedish friends to understand. So adorable hehe.

Here's the link, you can run it forward to about 20.52, right after the BWO song is where the insert on this girls problem starts and Kyle comes right after.

Svenska vänner som har lite svårt för engelskan, detta är min son i radio (MixMegapol) där han pratar om kärlek och ger lite råd, så gullig! CA 20.52 börjar inslaget med det hela.

Adorable!

I had only planned on having red bows on my babies for Christmas but than this suit showed up. Fredrik is going to kill me but I don't care hehe. We have half planned to surprise his parents for Lucia and one of the dogs is wearing this cute creation. I'm not a fan of dog suits but just look at it, it's so cute! Once on Lucia and once on Christmas, I think they can cope. It will probably be Jake since he's the only one I think it will fit.


Anyways, busy week as usual but for a few moments, Noah is asleep and I have three crazy dogs here next to me. Gucci is doing his best to find a peaceful corner and Rosie and Jake ar mixing between finding the best place in my lap or wrestling.

Yuk

I feel terrible right now, in a super bad fase and I don't even want to blame it on the weather. Everything is not the damn weathers fault. Good thing I have my babies.
I'll just shut up and show some cute pics!

My girl


Peek-A-Boo


Gucci is not impressed


Cutie-Pie



Two very good friends, Rosie learned fast that Noahs face always tastes good and that he drops really good treats;)


Bad bad boy!

Gross!

A wining insert but I can't help it. I'm sorry, certain things you have to teach your children, that's why we're parents! Everyday ethics is a given for me as a parent. Here's todays gripe!

Teach your kids to chew with there mouths closed!!

Andrew and I were at Burger King today and this boy across from me, maybe 9 years old or so, satt and chewed the whole time with his mouth wide open. I promise I could see down his throat around all the chewed up food!

I have started telling my kids from about 2-3 years of age to close there mouths when they chew. Explained why and so on. Yes it takes griping but come on, how hard is it? Like teaching them to brush there teeth or wash there hands after they use the bathroom.

I'm not surprised, just look at how many adults sitt and chew with there mouths open.

Around here I ask the older boys to leave my table if they can't show us others respect and close there mouths. Yukki!

Coffee and gifts

As you can imagine my days are full! There's a whole lot of floor sitting with Noah and Rosie (Gucci and Jake of course too). Play play play! Right now Noah is asleep in his bed, he's been there for an hour! Way too early to sleep but he got a really early start on things. Funny that I'm waiting for him to wake up though, we have arrends to run. It's Fathers Day(in June in the States) here on Sunday. We know what we're buying but F reads her sometimes so I can't tell you yet.

The inlaws this weekend, should be ok even if my mother-in-laws home is like a museum. Good thing we have the guesthouse, otherwise I don't even want to imagine all the damage a one year old could do.

Anyways, like I said, even if it's exciting to me not much exciting to write about. Here's a pic of cuddle-Rosie.


Oh, here's a question to my chihuahua friends. Does anyone know why some long coated chis get really fluffy while some don't? Is there anything you can do for there coat to keep it more fluffy?
I know when growing up we had Samoyeds, and the boys get like a lions mane and the girls don't. From what I can see on chis this has nothing to do with it, it's just different.

I said

to my beautician, go on, dare! Give me something new. I'm totally ok with whatever you do as long as it's easy and stylish! She cut me back to a cool bob:) Looks pretty good even if it feels like this is just what I let grow out. I'll give it a few days to decide.

No pics of me, but a new one of my little girl.



Gucci and I had our class last night, and for the first time! I'm finally getting a response out of him, he actually tailwagged and had fun! Usually he just wants to sniff around and freezes. Last night however he was more with it, enjoyed it. Hope he keeps it up! She gave us an exercise to practise at the door but it's definately going to take time and I need a ready volunteer wh has an hour or so to do it with me, any takers?
