Visit my niece, Svea!

So I was a cowboy/girl last Saturday! Most of my outfit I had bought when I was in Lancaster, California, in the end of May. Me and my mom went there to visit my other brother and his family for one week. They got a baby girl in December so it was the first time we got to meet her. Svea was then 5 months old and sooo cute, but I guess that every proud aunt says that about their niece. This little girl is my first niece and I hope that she will not be my only.

One bad thing with this is that she lives on the other side of this planet. I can’t meet and cuddle with her as much as I would like, and I do miss her! But a good thing is that her mom is taking a lot of pictures of her and sends to us so that we still can watch her grow…

It was warm and sunny in California as usual when we were there so it was a good vacation for me. We stayed around the house most of the time, there I enjoyed the time with my brother and his family. I could just sit and watch Svea for hours! We were also bathing in the little pool and went out for some shopping.

A happy family!

The day before we were going home my mom went to a tattoo place. She had been talking about doing a tattoo many years now, and this time she did it! I think my mom is cool. My brother took her to “Dr Claw”. I also went with them because I’m curious and wanted to take pictures while he was working. I have also been thinking of doing one but I can’t decide what I want (way to many things to choose from), so I have to wait until I’m totally sure. I don’t want to do one and then regret it!

Tomorrow my brother will come and visit us here in Sweden. He will not bring his family this time because they think it’s to long for Svea to fly. That is sad because I would love to meet them all again but I guess that I have to wait until Svea will get older or if I’m going back to visit them. My brother will just stay for 3 weeks this summer. He uses to stay longer but not this time…

This little smiley cute face I have in my cell phone and every
time I look at her I feel like something is smiling inside of me.

A lot of rain and cowboys!

Saturday morning didn’t start so good for me. I woke up and heard a sound in my room that I didn’t recognize so I tried to figure out what it was and locate were it came from. I couldn’t figure out what it was but when I sat up in my bed I got something in my head, so I looked up. O no, there were a water leakage and it was dropping in my bed! It has been raining to much this summer so I guess that our roof had enough. I had to move my bed and put a bucket on the floor. At noon I didn’t feel so good so I had to go and take a nap. Then I saw that the drops from the ceiling had moved so it had been dropping in my bed again I got really tired of it! I had to move around my things again…

When I got up after my nap I had to make myself ready for the evening. I was going to a Western party and I didn’t want to miss it! So before I left I packed some medicine and fast energy (coke and a lot of chocolate) so that I would survive the entire evening. I was going to pick up some of my friends on the way so that we could go there together. When we got to the place we could choose if we wanted to stay and talk inside or if we wanted to go out and throw horseshoes or shoot with an air gun while we were waiting for the others to come. It didn’t rain then so I went outside to take some pictures!

When all the cowboys and Indians had come, they gathered us all again and now it was time for food. All the women had to put one shoe in a bag and the men had to take a shoe and find who it fit and that person was also the one that would sit by his side at the table. The food was good and we sang a couple of songs. That is always funny and they hade two guys singing and playing guitar’s so that was really nice. There where also a lot of shooting all evening long. To many cowboys in one place I guess!



After the food we put the tables away and my favourite part was beginning, dancing! I had never done line dancing before and that was something I hoped we would do this evening, and we did. It was really funny and I danced a lot. The time was just running while we were dancing and then it was time to ride back home…
