Impossible but true

Just when I though I had oiled the last of our outdoor furniture we found another sett in the garage that I'm going to put on our balcony. You know what that means? Today I'm sanding and oiling! Again!
Moving sand piles, vacuuming the pool, chasing Noah and whatever, I love summer!



Rosies half sister had two baby girls the other day, black and tan, ooohhhhhhh<3<3

Heading back outside! see you all later xoxoxoxxo

Braces, shows and shopping

Saturdays show went GREAT!!! I had a coffee disaster on my camera but I'll try and get it all sorted so I can let you know how it went and show some pics soon!

Yesterday Andrew had his top layer of braces put on. He's so cute! Next time they'll put the bottom layer on as well. I took a few pics with my cell phone but I forgot how to move the pics over to my pc without having to get a cable and I'm too tired to try. I'll just wait for F to help me when he gets home or tomorrow maybe.

Otherwise it's planting, painting, pool filling and garage projects taking my time as usual but to be honest I love it! Noah and I are outside all day everyday if the weather is nice. Days like today thought I just catch up on the laundry.

Today I got a perfect tip from my sister and after just a few minutes of google I found it! We were thinking of keeping Noah in a lifejacket all summer but this might just be exactly what we need

I found them at this website
http://www.poolfixaren.se/Pool-larm/Child-Guard/

Pretty expensive but worth every cent and I'm going to order one. This is the first site in Sweden that I found so I'm going to have a look around first.

One thing is for sure, there's always something that needs to be done.
I was going to do a few inserts and show pics but if I'm honest I'm just too worn out. Dog show tomorrow and I'm going to bed.
Noah and I keep busy during the days, gardening, painting, oiling, cleaning and everyting else that needs to be done outside.
One things for sure, if it doesn't stop blowing outside soon I'm probably going to have a breakdown, a very serious one. I hate the damnd wind!!!! It's crazy here and has been the past couple of years!!

We did get the honour of babysitting little Leia this week, she's such a sweetie. Both her and Noah were sick so they were easy easy. Even if her fever had me worried she was just a joy.

Noah and Leia, Noah giving his "smile" face


Noah has never wanted a passy, but when Leia comes, he always wants hers!


Noah hard at work outside, could be dangerous out there so best to wear a hardhat. (Don't mind the mess, we're painting the garage and everything is outside until it's done)


So there, time for bed! Be back tomorrow, wish us luck!

Two sides of the coin

As a mother of both teenagers and small children things swing differently all the time!

Yesterday Kyle finally got his longly awaited drivers permitt and satt here waiting all evening for Fredrik to come home(he worked late) so they could take his first real drive on the open road. Scarry I know!
Anyways when F came home I was up putting the smaller boys to bed. When they got home I asked if they thought to take pictures. Of course they didn't!!! I said to Kyle, you know this is just as important to me as your first steps were.

Today I'm taking pictures and you all will pretend it's the first time he drove away, deal?

Be back a little later, I have alot to show but Noah and I are heading out to paint on our house!

Have a wonderful dayä!

Thank you...

for all your kind words! They are truely appreciated.

Around here we are busy busy busy. Hubby and I spent the whole weekend outside with Gabriel and Noah(the older boys were at there dads house). Oiling my teak furniture and painting in the garage. We're using every spare moment to work out there because I'm so tired of the garage! I want to start building our deck on the two sides of the pool! That's our next big project.

We grilled all weekend long and just had a great few days
BBQ Masters


This Friday is the big day for my sister in law and I have the cutest pair of shoes, what the heck am I going to wear with them? I could do with something new but I don't know if I have the energy, going to take a look in my closet first.

Look here what came! My kennel name may now be used!


Last but not least: it is serious work having a bitch in heat! Right now Rosies in high heat so Jake is a little high strung. Actually surprised at how well it's going it's just alot of work keeping them apart. Tomorrow Fredriks taking Jake with him to work so he can get a day off...the little horndog!
He loves the spring anyways...he rolls around like this alot in the grass. Isn't he the cutest thing you ever saw?


Good night friends, xoxoxoxo

Rasmus

Yesterday afternoon my inlaws had to make a decision that I know was so difficult to make. They had to put there beloved Rasmus to sleep, let him wander over Rainbow Bridge.
Apparently Rasmus had tumors in his legs and a possible tumor at the edge of his tail. Rasmus hated the vets and any care would have meant several trips to the vets.
He was a handsome old man of 12 years and had lived a full and happy life.



Let me tell you this was one spoiled bearded collie who was a huge bully. He barked and drove the neighbors crazy(me too haha), nudged your arm when you were drinking coffee because he was so spoiled he got directly from the table and wouldn't let you alone until you gave him a cookie. He was the true diva of the house and he knew it. He was even loyal, loving and loved to jump on you. Especially me, he loved me. He would get crazy jealous if my mother in law held one of her grandkids and she just avoided doing it if we were alone because he'd get so mad. At the same time, I never told him no, I always gave him that cookie and I apparently let my mother in law start suspecting when her first grandbaby was on the way because I told Rasmus his breath stunk and she realised I'd never complained about that before and was always letting Rasmus get close for a cuddle. Her having had 4 kids herself new that if I was sensitive to smell that maybe there was a baby on the way.


Rasmus has been apart of my life every since I met Fredrik. Always around, at work, and everywhere my inlaws went. My father in law is crushed and we send our condolences to them both.

Sleep well little man....we'll miss you!
