Jackson HALOWEEN COSTUME

Jackson,

 

Hey buddy.  If you remember last year you got a new Iorn Man costume and Heidi did not get a costume.  Your daddy says you want to be the Hulk for Halloween.  If you want to be something besides Iorn Man we need to find stuff from around the house. I think we can make it work tho.  We can get some green body paint and use a pair of your shorts...  do you have any purple sweat pants we can cut.  We can cut off part of the bottom to make them look ragged.  I dont know if you have a green shirt.  I dont think you will want to go without a shirt (cauz it will probably be cold) haha.  I think we can probably do that. Daddy sounded like he had some good ideas too.  Is that what you would like or can you think of something else?

Painting Fun

Yesterday I made this painting.  What do you think?  It was fun to just relax and listen to music and paint.  It was also fun because of the canvas instead of getting a white canvas I painted a black canvas.  That was something I havent done before.  I think when I get home we ought to have you guys paint some stuff to put up on your walls in your bedroom.  Can you think of anything you might like to paint?

 



A walk to the ocean!

I decided the blog needed a new look.  What do you think?  Do you like the fishies I put over too the right side?  They follow the mouse.

The Ocean, itsnt it beautiful!  I love to go watch the boats and hear the ocean waves.  The houses that are by the ocean are very expensive to live in.  Our neighboors have a boat and they want to take us out on the ocean next week if it isnt too cold and windy.  It is startting to get cooler here.  Is it starting to get cooler in Utah?

 There are so many boats along the docks

These are little places people rent to store their fishing gear in.

 Here is some different pictures of the houses. They have so many different looking homes. Look at this one... it is all glass windows along the whole side of the house.  Looking out over the ocean all the time.  I think I would feel like I were living in a fishbowl!

This one is pretty cool too do you see how it has that top part that is all glass. I like the ivy climbing up the house too.

 

Can you spot something else different about the houses here?  Look at the ladder on the roof.  All the homes have that on the roof so that someone can come check the chimney every year before they start building fires in the fireplace. 

 

 

This tall water tower looks like a ufo from outer space.

Heidi,

The statue is a man on a horse.  Do you see the horse jumping out of the water?  It is kindof hard to see.  I will try to get a picture of it up close.  You are right every thing is very very green over here.  That is because it is much more humid.  Humidity means there is water in the air.  Utah and Idaho are very dry and here there is a lot more water.  Yes they drive on the same side of the road as us.  It is only England that drives on the wrong side of the road.  :)  The pastry tasted like a very yummy crasaunt with strawberries and sugar.  It didnt really taste like a donut.  I love you and look forward to talking to you.  When I get home would you like me to give you another piano lesson?  Big hug and kiss from mommy.

 

Jackson,

 

I am sorry that your paragraph got erased that must be very frustrating.  It dosnt matter if you want to respond on the blog or email me either way I will get it and I love hearing from you.  I am so proud of you going to school and being so big and tough.  I am so happy you are still practicing your piano.  I am so excited to hear you play when I get back.  I am having a lot of fun and spending a lot of time resting.  I think I am getting a little head cold so I have been just resting today.  Rogers mom and dad are actually in the USA now.  That is kind of funny that they came to America around the same time I came to visit Sweden.  I didnt get to see Roland but I saw Anki earlier in my trip and she is doing very well.  She was very excited to come to the USA.  They are going to go on a road trip.  She said to tell you and Heidi hi.  I probably forgot to tell you tho. I love you and miss you.  Hugs and Kisses from mommy.

 

The old water tower

I am in Landskrona.  This is a big tall water tower. You can see from very far away.  A water tower holds water in case there is an emergency.  Doesnt it look cool? I think it looks kinda like Rupunzels tower.

 

I made some new friends.  Her name is Jenny and her husbands name is Jimmy.  They are so nice. Today I am going with her to Helsinborg.  They have a little girl Jacksons age, Natalie.  We are going to go to IKEA and a toy store.  I will tell you about it when I get home.  Love you.

A little walk

Hi kiddos!  I love hearing about the things you did and are doing.  Thank you for the messages.  I am glad you like the presents and the notes.  I miss you too and love you very much.  I loved looking at the pictures of Jackson and Daddy at the mud race too.  It looks like a lot of fun and a lot of mess ;)

I went for a walk today. I went to a lot of little stores and parks. There is a lot to see and do very close to where I am. I took some pictures while I was out and wanted to show you what its like here.

Look at the baby ducks huddled close to their mommy.  They are so cute!  The ducks dont run away because they are used to getting fed bread. I wished I had some bread crumbs for them.

 

And this is just me being goofy at the park...

This park has a little cafe and a lot of fountains trees and pretty flowers.  There are also a lot of different walkways.  It is very green and pretty.

Instead of having a lot of stop signs they have round abouts.  Do you see where the road goes around in a circle? It is kind of confusing for me when I am trying to drive because I am not used to it.  But it is kinda fun too.  I like how they always have flowers and bushes and trees in the middle of the round abouts.  It would be funny to just drive around and around in circles until you get dizzy!

There is a lot of really cool looking buildings.  They can be very very old sometimes.  I thought this building looked really cool.  Down in the common area they are selling fruits and veggies and there is a big fountain.
 

 

Do you see the bird perched on top of the lamp post?

Here are some more pictures of Landskrona and some of the cool buildings.

 While I was walking around bells started playing from a church.  I thought you might like to hear them.

mmmmmmm - ok I really enjoied stopping at a little bakery and getting this... it was so yummy!

Fun Weekend

This is a picture of us with the missionaries.  I didnt know if you guys had seen it.  My camera battery was dead all weekend so I wasnt able to take any pictures :( but I thought you guys might like to see this one :)

I have been having fun I miss you a lot.  I am so happy when I get to talk to you on  the phone and when I read your comments on the blog.  We went to the church here in Sweden this weekend.  They did the lessons in Swedish and someone in the back translated in English so I could understand.  They gave me a little earphone so I could hear in English.  It was fun!  I got each of you a present I will give it to you when I get back on the 18th.


Jackson,

Hey you.  So you enjoy school lunches... Doritos, sandwiches, and little oranges, mmmmm, that does sound yummy.  I have been missing Doritos they dont have them here.  They have other kinds of chips tho... but no Doritos.  I told Roger the other day, I want Doritos and you dont have any here :)

Wow you plaied the violin.  That is awesome.  Is that something you are interested in learning to do?  Why did you play the violin?  How is practicing the piano going.  You are probably ready for another lesson.  I am excited to give you a lesson and hear how much you have improved when I get home.  Mommy will still give you allowance but you have to do your chores and be good for grandma and daddy and practice your piano, and do your homework.

Im proud of you it sounds like you are doing very well in school earning points and everything.  I am glad you are making friends too.  Who are your friends?

Thank you for taking care of Gizmo for me.  I bet he is so glad to have you there.  I love you and miss you so much.

Heidi,

Hey Beautiful!  How are you doing.  I love you and miss you too.  I love hearing about the fun things you are doing.  Im glad you are going to get to stay with daddy you will have a lot of fun.  Playing with your cousins and going to pre-school.  You are getting so big. 

So you want to be Super Girl for Halloween.  That sounds great!  You would be a wonderful Super Girl. 

I wish I could go to the fair with you guys.  I love Peach Days.  You will have to tell me all about it when you get home!
