Road Trip 3

Well we're here! I have to say, this place isn't new, it's a little run down but we have only seen a little bit of it. This whole campground thing is new to me despite camping with F so many times, we never stay at campgrounds, free camping! I'm not quite sure how I feel about all of this, I'll get back to you. Seems all my closest neighbors have out of country license plates so you go figure!

It took alllll day to get here so here are some pics of the day. Actuell pics of the campgrounds will have to wait until tommorrow, when i recover from the chock.
Good thing is, there's loads! for us to do right here if the weather is bad.

Some fancy bridge F woke me up to see


Nice place, so we stopped for a coffee break


Gabriel colored all day(but managed to ask every 5 minutes if we were almost there)


He can sleep if he wants to, he just seldom wants to.


We bought pizza at the first best place, it wasn't very good but it was ok. I checked out the map of this place and found a few other nice places to try out.



The boys are asleep so F and I are sitting here having a well deserved glass of red. Good night, hope we all sleep tight.

Road Trip 2

We found a really nice place to bed down for the night just outside of Sundsval. Everyone was super tired so I thought little "I need my mothers breast all night every night" would sleep good but nono, only when i layed in a really uncomfy position so he could use me as his personal pacifier all night. That's ok because the morning view was wonderful right on a little lake! Sun shining!

Noah in bed with me telling him it's time to sleep!


Yeah right! He says


Sleeping angels



Another sleeping angel


At about 7am we gave up on Noah sleeping anymore! Breakfast


Here's the car



A & G took a swim



I captured 3 jailbirds;)

Road Trip

Ok, after a couple days of intense ironing, cleaning and packing we are on our way!

1: The weather is supposed to be 13 degrees on Saturday and 10 degrees on Sunday up north. In my city, 24 and then 22.

2: I have extreme PMS, feel pissed off and hungry non stop.

3: Gabriel got what we thought was an ear infection and we had him to the doctors last night. It was ear eksema that he has had before and got drops for both ears.

Sum of this, things can only get better:)

Here we go! The Vehicle


The Dad


The Mom


The boys


The babies

The Driver



My friends C and K have saved my outlook, thank you girls! Luleå is so doable when it's only 40km. If all else fails, SHOP!

Love and kisses from the travellers!

Odd

Two years ago when I went to New York for a girls trip I planned and fixed for weeks. Had my suitcase out a week ahead of time at least. Planned outfits and shoes and everything. REally everytime we've been to the states I do that. Plan for the boys and there suitcases are out and so on. We usually go for about 10 days or so.


It would seem that we are leaving in two days for the longest motorhome trip we have ever taken, two weeks, and I haven't hardly done anything. I did the laundry and started to iron but there's still tons to do.
I said to F, all my friends and even other people actually smirk, laugh out loud and just get a huge kick out of me heading up to the north of Sweden! My one friend, who never calls hardly(we keep in touch through the web and irl), even called 30 seconds after she read that I was going. Now that's bad haha. F says it's not the north of Sweden that's the problem, it's my image.

My friends get that I belong in Italy, Paris maybe, why not Malaysia. Up North?? No no!
Me and the boys are being optimistic! Actually if the weather stays nice it's going to be a great place to be! Perfect! BUT! Anybody know of good up north shopping, in case of emergancy you know.

I don't mean to complain..

but I'm going to anyways!

Summer in Sweden is always unsure, you really never know if it's going to be nice or rain alla season long! I _never_ complain about how hot it is because I'm always so greatful when it's nice.....BUT.....these damn fireflys are driving me CRAZY!!!
They bite, it hurts bad and then the bites itch like you can't believe! Like a huge mosquito bite. They are literally eating me alive and night time sleeping is almost unheard of because the itching is killing me, if Noah isn't awake and demanding my breasts.
Fredrik suggested asperin so I'm going to read and see if they help the itch because it's bad.



Anyways, town today for a quick shopping trip and Noah got a really cool new stroller, show you a pic soon.

Gabriel today while in the pool with me; Mamma, I looooovveee you, there's no other woman as beautiful as you.

He's such a lover that little guy.

OOhhh and Gabriel learned to swim! He basically taught himself! He would be in the pool all day everyday if we let him.

Maybe more tomorrow! Good Night
Gabriel love:)

Fuck it!

Who needs that mean machine? Not me! Or do I?



Decided to run and buy something I've been wanting to buy for a while. Since I'm mad at my fatty machine I went and bought Wii Fit! Neither Andrew nor I could get the damn thing running though! I'm way too much woman to need F to fix this stuff all the time...ggrrrrrrr!

Crack jackle pop!

Anybody who knows me knows what a health freak I am(junk food diet is my specialty). We spent a wonderful Saturday evening at our good friends L & T and met there good friends S & M. Before we headed off for this fun night I had F take a couple pics of me being it was the premier for my Gucci. I thought I looked FAB! Until I downloaded the pics to my pc.
Yesterday I decided it's time for a change, no more baby fat jokes(ok ok ok, I have no baby fat left, I have serious Lori fat) and time to move my shaker. Said and done I got out my Ipod, left the baby to his big brother and got on my crosstrainer! Gabe the sadistic slave driver is screaming in the background "faster faster, come on faaaaster". After the initial chock of the workout I got into it and am busting sweat.
All of a sudden I hear a CRAAAAASH!!! I jump of the machine and Gabriel is standing looking surprised and I think Oh my god, I'm too fat for the fatty workout machine! Well, it was a disc cover that had broken and not the actual function of the machine but still. At the same time of course F calls and G runs to answer. Daddy daddy, mommys working out and she broke the machine..it just broke! I think she was running tooooo fast. (as if that could even happen)

F got a great laugh all day and I just said, go on and laugh, when I really get into this and lose 10lbs then you get to buy me a new better one.
I am trying to convince myself how bad my wounded ego needs a pint or two of Ben&Jerrys but think I better stick it out and stick to fruit.

Pics of me the not so sexy diva on my way out. (Our new car in the background)

What a day!

Yesterday when I woke up I noticed that Gucci's whole neck and one side of his face was swollen. Figured he must have been bitten buy a bee or something. It happend last year, sort of the same thing and the vets said just wait and see and he was fine by evening. Well not this time! Last night he was still swollen and his skin sort of red. He was even gagging, alot! Almost like he was going to throw up but nothing came. Worried I called the animal hospital and the vet said to wait as long as he's not having trouble breathing.
We were both so worried we let him sleep in our bed! That has never happend not once. Don't tell F but I kind of like having the little fur ball next to me.
Anyways, when we got up this morning he wasn't as bad but still swollen so I called the vets. Guess who had summer closed? Called another vet and they thought he should be seen, sounded like a snake bite! but they didn't have time. Called back to the animal hospital that wanted me to come in (it's an hour away!) and informed me that it could be a long wait since they were busy.

I'd say we got there about 11.30 or so and we left there at 6.15 pm(18.15). They did blood work and his liver levels were a little off and he did have an infection in his blood. At first they wanted to keep him over night and give him an IV for flouids but decided he could come home with a perscription for antibiotics and we need to keep a strict eye on him and make sure he drinks. We even have to temp him!(I'm so bribing fredrik to do that!).
So F's away right now getting his medicine and I'm just trying to have a cup of coffee, I had Noah with me you know! Exhausted!
We were supposed to go to Ewa's for coffee and some kind of cake I'm sure, hope I get the offer next week instead. (yes Ewa that's for you haha)

Here's mammas sweety with his ribbons from The World Dog Show a couple of weeks ago, that whole story to come! It was a doozy too.

We didn't win!

Well we didn't win this time. Next time for sure. Anna att Posh Pooches had a little contest that I wrote about before. Me and the dogs are not fretting about that, we are "window shopping" all of the other fun stuff we really want!

My favorite sweaters, really want two of these in purple.


So cute


Cuddle!


Lots of other things I keep finding too! My boys don't even wear there shirts but they are going to start. I have some really cute ones too!

Copenhagen!

As usual I have loads to write about and pics to show (WDS with Gucci, Kyles first DJ gig, the dogs in there really cute new shirts and so on) but today is way to special to show any of that!
We were down in the south of Sweden this weekend and headed over to Copenhagen yesterday(I absolutely love Copenhagen) and did some shopping. Headed into my favorite two stores, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. Just took a look around and then we went on. Fredrik the sneaky man whom is full of surprises says all of a sudden. Let's go back and get you a Gucci!!!!
I have wanted a real one for years, I refuse to carry a fake and am happy to dream of a real one. I buy lots of other purses, really nice ones even, but the Gucci has had to wait. Not anymore!! No more words are necessary, here's some pics of a girl in heaven!


So silly, Fredrik just opend a bottle of champagne because I want to celebrate my purse, I'm such a diva amature! haha

My man

7 years ago yesterday I was on my way to Örebro for another weekend at my sweeties house. I knew he'd been planning something, some kind of surprise. He acted so funny and suspicious. When I finally got here and we headed up to his apartment(way high up in his building and no elevater) there was a beautiful brand new Crescent bike waiting for me!! I couldn't believe it! I still absolutely LOVE my bike! Sneaky as he is, we took a nap and hung out for a few hours. Thinking my surprise was the bike we just had a great time and planned for going out to dinner that evening. After a while he got up and opend a bottle of champagne(confident little shit aint he) and gave me a glass. He then got down on one knee(yes he really did) and said some loving words and pulled a box out of his pocket! Yes he proposed! So adorable! A perfect ring with a diamond, and he had bought his ring too of course. We had already planned for me and my sons to move here and had bought a condo.



He took on my two sons as his own. He has always treated them lovingly and done everything for them that there own father doesn't. You name it, he does it!



Together we have two more sons



And two boy dogs



We've sense sold the condo and moved in to our beautiful new home. Loads of water under our bridge together. I love you honey! Thank you for loving me!

Posh for the diva dogs!

My friend Anna has started an adorable web site with loads of cute things for your little spoiled dogs. She starting with a bang and here's a competition to win a beautiful collar for your dog. I want it! :)


Check out this new site and see what you like. Be careful though, there's tons of cute stuff!

Posh Pooches

Oh and Anna, I'm really trying to win, answer to the question is 2.Skottland

Premiers!

We are all daring in one way or other, some more than the rest of us!

Andrew and Gabriel were first in the pool, 13 degrees!





Fredriks turn, still only 13 degrees!


I was standing with my phone ready to call a paramedic, in case he had a heartattack!


Time for Kyle, now 15 degrees! He needed some money and since I believe in child torture I told him if he jumped in the pool he'd get the money haha. After the first time I said double or nothing, so he jumped in again! So funny! I laughed so hard it hurt.




My turn, 16 degrees!


Finally Noahs turn, 22 degrees!



My beautiful sons, three different ages, one fun common ground!
