I am medium

As we walked to the pool Emma took her usual 3 step behind the group "leisure walk". Her hips swaying and arms flailing about, and in her own typical style she start a song.

I am medium!!

Oh, ohhhh soooooo medium

and thats why!!!

I am mediummmmm

God knows that

I am medium!!!

And you know, I know

medium!!!

Thats whyI love

medium!

Emma is always writing her own little ditties and songs. Usually they are like are about God or the first thing she sees. Which can create a interesting combo. I will remember the medium song, she sang it loud all the way to the pool. I think Hannah Montana would have a hit if she sang that.

Em is a true Swede , "lagom e bast!" alltsa medium! Sorry it is a Swedish joke....mediocre is the best? See it isn't funny in English!

Be glad God made you medium!

Announcing ...........

I did it! Yep, got the last minute ask to do announcements at church today! It was a blast I must admit! I love my job!

Check out any of the "peace" series from K2's website. Today's service should be up this week!

Sticky Stache

Soon he will be 6 months. Today decided to try out rice cereal.

Big brother had to help, it lasted a few minutes till I was afraid he would get the whole spoon down his throat instead of just half of it.

The Plane method

Erik and I tag teamed for the feeding. It was fun, I think he liked it?
Look at those big blue eyes! After this he got his first big boy bath (meaning in the tub with siblings!)

Finally the 3rd party this summer!

Happy Bday Emma!

Jess made the cupcake toppers and crown!

Here is my confession for the day-

I admit it, the cake is not made by me.

I admit, my kids didn't care.
I admit, my husband did notice and was shocked.
I admit, I liked the hassle free version of a store bought cake decorated cute by me =).
I admit as much as I liked it, I will not be buying cakes in the future.
I admit it feels like I cheated.
I admit- I am weird like that, plus-homemade tastes way better!
I admit that I am glad the birthday party train has stopped for awhile.
Thus ends my confessions.

It was so nice we did it twice!

So nice we did it twice this time with an amazing view! Saratoga Springs has our heart! Isn't the view great. I can only imagine having coffee on my deck looking at this!

Told you so. It is amazing.

Mountainside with Mormor and Morfar

It was all smiles on the most perfect day for a mountainside picnic!

This is the life!

With Grandpa's handcarved walking sticks we can climb any mountain!
