Arvid and Helena's Wedding!

Waiting for the airplane with friends!
We stayed in a really nice cabin with Axel's whole family. It was bigger than our house.
Out on a walk with Farmor, Alina, Fanny, and Sickan (their dog).

Family picture before the wedding. Everyone looks GREAT!!





The bride and groom posing for pictures. Helena was beautiful and Arvid looked as handsome as always.



Saga wondering the ailes at the church.

There aren't any really good reception pictures, bummer. It was a great party! Food was great and the entertainment was wonderful. Lots of singing, skits, and speeches.


Morning after the wedding.





BRUNCH!

We're Back!

I thought this picture was so cute!! Saga has found pockets!!
Axel taking a break from shoveling.


It's taken me way too long to get pictures and a post up from Sweden. Saga and I have been dealing with sleep problems (like always), but it seems like we are officially back on track.

We've been back 2 1/2 weeks and WOW have we been busy. Axel shoveled gravel for a few days and the result is lovely. We flew down to Stockholm for Arvid's wedding. I will have another post for that. We celebrated Axel's 30th birthday last night with great success. I spent all day Friday baking two cakes and two different types of cookies. Axel has been gone all week hunting, so it feels really good today to be home together. We plan to just take it easy and go pick some blueberries this afternoon.

Family Pictures!

It's not the best picture but I'm hoping someone has a better one on their camera!

We had a family picture day before we left to come back to Sweden. It was a rare occasion when EVERYONE was together for about 10 minutes.

Visit to Dad

My Dad and his family live in Riverside, close to Omak. We really like to go and visit when we can. He has a beautiful house in a really nice part of the country.

Dad, Sage, and Saga laying on the grass.
Saga, Sage, and Halla loving on Ruby the cat.
We went on a ride up above their house to look at the beautiful and to have a picknick
They have an awesome wrap around porch that was made for pushing baby strollers around. Saga and Saga had a great time together. Sage was really great about sharing her toys.

Axel in Alaska




Just thought I'd put a few pictures of Axel's Alaska trip on the blog. He had a great time but was happy to be back with his family!!

Michelle and Bill's Wedding

We had a full few days of wedding craziness. It was a beautiful day and so much fun to see everyone. Michelle looked beautiful, as you can see. It was an honor to be a part of such a wonderful event.

We had an awesome time with Michelle and all of her friends at her bachlorette party. Amy made pizza, and we drank wine. A few board games were played and there was lots of laughing.
