I spied with my little eye in Sweden something......










Sorry Sweden...she didn't know


Julia just saw this incredible Pink Lady Slipper and couldn't help herself. She felt very bad after the reaction some Swedes gave.....opps, you are not supposed to pick those. Again, Sorry mother nature she didn't know.

Piercings and such

Here it is! My girls are wicked brave! Yankin teeth and piecing holes, only a couple tears with the tooth. But it all pays off. Therese will make sure of that !

Julia the toothlesssss




Emma the Brave



Emma got earrings in Sweden, and got a little present for her bravery. Then Therese bribed J to pull her tooth. Who knew the Swedish tooth fairy leaves the tooth and candy. SWEDISH CANDY nontheless!Plus she got a present from Therese too! Geez, that Therese she always gets to be the favorite!!!

Oh how Swede it is!

So here is the first entry about "our almost summer vacation"
We headed off to Sweden for 2 weeks and it was a totally great vacation. Wonderful company,relaxed, enjoyed the kids. We showed the kids around and were amazed what they remembered not the least how Julia's Swedish came right back! Unbelievable! Here are a few pics....this is taking longer than I thought so I will get alot of the pictures up here (only over 500 to look thru!) We are home now and trying our darendest to kick the jetlag! Please Lord let them sleep tonight!!!!
