Mix of fun

Hello!
As usual busy busy, school is starting on Monday and we're almost ready for it. Shopping and filling in forms!

Just some cute stuff from this past week for ya

Rosie, queen diva


Last week we had the oppertunity to spend the day at the racetrack. Fredrik and his brothers and father got to first drive a car around the track for hours and take turns then one of Swedens best STCC drivers, Ted Björk, took them for a spin in this Ferarri! Very cool! Next time he said he wants to take me for a spin, not as sure about that though.


Last but not least, guess who's a big boy now!!??
Noah, the daycare goer:) My little guy started his very first day at daycare on Tuesday. By the end of next week we hope to be able to leave him "for real".
I said, Noah say cheese, he turned his back haha


Daddy helped get the "1st day pic"


Anyways, figured out some people are VERY!! curious and that's to be expected when you blog. I'm thinking of maybe coinsiding my two blogs and running one. Maybe writing both in english and swedish? Give me feedback please? Or is it better to keep it like it is?

One more thing! I'm really not the tech freak I think I am, I can't get the pics off my phone and need help when F gets home. Just to show you that special something that came in the mail this week!

Chi-Lott's MJ Liberian Girl

That's the name of one very special girl I'd like you all to meet.

It's "The other half of the story" and a little prinsessa that's moving in here in a few weeks. I'm so excited! Especially for my little Marley who's a little bit shy. I think this is perfect for him to get a buddy his own age.

We don't have a name yet and it's up to debate here so feel free with suggestions. Here's our list so far:

Stella (my favo)
Lily (everybody kind of likes it)
Chloé
Demi (Fredriks favo)
Elby (which is what we call her now, LG are her initials but LB we picked out of Liberian and call her that until further notice)
Help!

How about some pics of this little beauty?




Up and coming champion?



Look at this beautiful face, you have to love her



Just a little footnote: Comments like "Another one? How many are you going to have" will be removed. My dogs are my babies and extremely well taken care of and LOVED! I'm building what I hope to be a respected and well planned kennel and you can hardly do that with one bitch. Thanks!

Footnote 2: You guys wont believe what came in the mail today for Rosie!! I'm so taken away and getting ready to chase her down with the cam haha.

Random acts of kindness part 2

About 6 months ago I wrote I was a little under the weather. Two days later there was a care package in my mailbox, maybe you all remember? I could look up the insert but I'm a little lazy, sorry. Well last week when we got home from vacation there was yet another little unexpected package waiting for me.

Sweet generous Monica had done it again!
In the package there was an adorable little green knitted sweatervest for Marley as a welcome home gift and I don't know how she did it but she knew it was Rosies birthday soon so even she got a cute little pink sweater! I'm so taken away at this womans kindness. Very rare now a days and I'm so lucky to have met someone who is this way.

Here's a look at the package, outfit pics will be put out on LilyHearts Blog

Island Land (Öland)

Hi everyone!
Well we're back from our camping vacation on Öland and the laundry is caught up and the camper cleaned out.
We hade a great week even if the weather wasn't the greatest. Great food and great company! We got at least two real warm, half days, at the sea.

Andrew had the most fun and participated in there sportsweek that they had and he was busy all the time. Gabriel had the luck of having a little playground close to our camper and he headed off quite a bit too. Leia and Noah had the whole tent full of toys and did pretty good too. Between toys Noah watched Rory, nonstop! By the end of the week we all went around singing on the Rory song!

How about some pics?
On our way to the beach for the first time








Some pics in the tent

Katarina and Andrew


Ice Cream! Mmmm



RORY!!


Fredrik came down on Thursday evening and stayed the weekend and then drove the camper home. Lucky enough we had a great day in the sun on Saturday. Here's Gabriel burried in the sand



So first insert! Loads more to show and tell. Among other things wait until you see the beautiful generous package that was waiting for Marley and Rosie when we came home!

Half of the story...

Guess what I picked up today? A new little baby boy !! We were looking for a long coated baby girl, black and tan. What came home is a short coated, adorable, black and tan, beautiful litte boy. He's my up and coming champion! Him and I had a talk about it. Plus he promised not to mark inside when he gets bigger.
Wanna se some pics?

Here we just got home and after a pee I let the other babies out, charge!!


Mommy saved him


Just a little nap


Sniffing out the new territory


I have more pics but I'll show those later. We're all just adoring him right now, he's so calm and a little scared so I'm keeping him close.
We're thinking of calling him Marley , what do you guys think about that?

Now we're still on the search for the perfect little girlfriend for him so if you know of any beauties, let us know!

You know how

sometimes you have something very exciting so close you almost have it planned in your head? You start making future plans before anything is sealed so to speak?
Well that happend to me this week, kind of double even. I'm quite sad about it to be honest with you. I'm sure my time will come, that's not it. Just sad about alot of things I've learned this past week or two and to be honest with you I would have been better off not knowing.

Anyways, heads up.....Something exciting is still going to happen. Just not how I had hoped. New hope will light up and I'll be on track again. I just have to let the other stuff vent out a little more first.

I have a secret

and I'm not saying a word yet.
The weather has been amazing so me and the boys have parked ourselves outside. No appointments, no dates if they didn't come to us and just enjoyed the hot weather. Well now it's cold and raining and I'm afraid it might stay this way for the rest of the summer!
Anyways, I have had some super happenings despite this. Friday night at 3am I got a call from Jeanette that it was time for the smooth coated collies to come and I rushed over. I got to witness the birth of several beautiful puppies!! Next week it's time to visit a chihuahua kennel and watch a birth. So exciting!
Alot happening despite the rain and I can't hardly pull myself away from my mail. I'll let you know when I know.

Let me see if I can find some pics!
Fredrik and Kyle are building a deck around the pool for us and I'm a little anti since it isn't how I wanted it to be. Since these pics were taken they've come alot longer so I need to take some more!






So there, gotta go. F just called and needs my help. Always when Noah is sleeping!!

Guess What!??!

The forecast is calling for a HEAT WAVE!!!

The pool's ready and so am I! Bring it on!

Weather dep

I can't blog right now, I'm sooo low! I hate Sweden sometimes. Ever since Mothers Day when we had great weather it's been cold and rainy here. I can't take another bad summer, that would make 3 in a row and that's too much for me. I read on other blogs about sun and nice weather and I don't get why we don't have some of it.
I just spent the whole weekend at a dog show, in the pouring rain. Terrible!
Sure, the sun's shining today, but you know why? Just to say fuck you Swedes! Midsummer holiday is this weekend and the forecast is calling for guess what?? RAIN!!!

One thing after another!

After everything calmed down after last weekends wedding, this weekends musts started rolling!
Today is my friends 35th birthday party so Gabriel, Noah, Rosie and I are going. We need to pick up a last gift before we head over there.
Saturday and Sunday is the big dog show I've been looking forward to but sadly the weather forecast is calling for some pretty bad weather. I got lucky and my friend gave me a raincoat, I bought rain pants and I have loads to pack! Rosie needs a bath and her claws cut. I am even trying to catch up on laundry and ironing and cleaning. Beatuiful Emma is staying over two nights this weekend, so she didn't have to miss the dog show. Super lucky is that Emma and her mother have a show tent! Woohoo! At least we don't have to sitt out in the rain under umbrellas, thank god!
Since the weather here is terrible, of course! (I seriously can't take one more summer of 10 nice days and 4 moths of cold wind and rain) I'll show some pics I took two weekends ago when we had absolutely perfect weather and got to take a premier swim in the pool. Probably the only time we'll get to use it this year.

(Don't mind the mess, we're planting flowers, getting the pool sorted and trying to get our deck built!)


My little fish



Leia and Noah got there own pool


But Noah doesn't accept being "little" too well

I had more

to show you all last week but you know what the standard excuse is so I'll skip to wedding day!
As most of you know Fredriks sister got married Saturday and it was a beautiful wedding! Gabriel was in the wedding and got the honour of throwing rose pedals down the isle and then holding the brides buquét as she said her vowes.

I haven't asked if it's ok so I wont show any pics of anyone but my family, sorry about that because Anna was truely beautiful!

Two good looking boys


Cute couple


My boys



My boys plus man


This last pic is adorable but I'm so sad, I wanted a pic of us all together. We don't have any recent pics at all. Thought I'd have it blown up and hang it on the wall but it's blurry, buuuuuhuuuu.

First things first

Since I'm so far behind I have loads to show and tell.

Let me start with the dog show we were at a couple of weeks ago!

It was a fun day and Jakes breeders were there which is extra fun. Jake was the absolute show dog and he did better than ever! I am so proud of him!
First he won over the other boys, after that he won over the winning bitch and made it thru to the group finals(if you don't know dog shows it's way to involved to explain all of this now but if you're intrested just ask). Well inte the group ring there were about 15 dogs he competed against! First the judge picked out 5 to continue on, that she liked best and then we had to walk for her again. At first she had placed Jake as nr 1 but then switched us to nr 3 but wow!! Jake, BIG-3! What a man!






Rosie didn't have as much competition but even she did great! She made it thru to the group finals and placed BIG-4! This show was real fun because all the group winners got presents!

Peek-A-Boo

Hi there! Bet you've been wondering where we are!?! Well little Noah has the chicken pox and my word, I've never seen anything like it! He definately has it worse than the other three got it. I'm thinking the heat wave this pass weekend helped make it worse. He's had it rough the poor guy.

His head is full of them and his private parts. His whole bottom, penis and groin area is just covered! Hundreds of them! His face got quite a few too but his legs and belly aren't too bad considering. He has them down in his ears and even in his mouth!






About half of them have finally started to dry so hopefully he'll be better soon! It took 4-5 days to break out and I've never experienced that, usually just takes a couple of days.
