American in Norway

Kegger At Paul Rudd's Mom's House After Royals Sweep! (OK.. I didn't make it to the kegger...but it was a nice invite.) Paul... I love. you..     What a year to be a ROYALS fan. and #beingroyal was a heck of a way to spend our time in Kansas City. I was fortunate to make it to a couple of games this summer..  One with baby boy & my sister..     and then to GNO.. girls night out..    I have the coolest group of girlfriends who never miss a game.. baseball.. football.. those girls know how to party.. woo hoo..    

4th of July in the states..   I love everything about it.. the kids, the fireworks, the family, friends, food and drink.   this year didn't disappoint.   So nice to come home and be wrapped in the love of my family and friends.   Everyone was just where and what I needed I needed that fill up to get through the rest of the year...   I am so blessed, in so many ways..   My adorable mom and beautiful niece Jenna  

It has been several years since my kids have seen my sisters kids... far too long..    

Summer vacation it was spent in the Best possible place, at home with our American family,in Kansas City.  Please forgive the picture laden posts...  but I have 5000 pictures I need to post somewhere.   Eva with her American Bestie.. Back where I belong...  3 generations.. WORLD CUP SOCCER IN KC!  WOO HOO  

Just too cute not to share.

I just wanted to share some photos from 17 May 2014 I like the idea of having all of the pictures in one place (my blog) for the kids to find later.

march 30 Charles Bridge...  I could have hung out here all day...

march 29 The best thing we could have done..  was to pack up the car & get out of town.. & that is what we did... The greatest revenge is HAPPINESS.. and we were determined to have a FANTASTIC time.. no way I was going to let - some mean.. turd.. ruin our time.. NO WAY... I traveled to Prague as a backpacking college student.. and LOVED the city.. I couldn't wait to bring my children here... if I could have my way.. I would take my children to all of my favorite cities... so they will always remember their first visit was with ME.. :-)  & Prague at Easter was fantastic..  

march 28 Hello PRAGUE... here we come.. Thank goodness my children are 1/2 TEXAN.. and are used to CRAZY,LONG ROAD TRIPS! (as a child... it used to take us a good 12 hours just to get out of Texas..) could gobble this little one up...  L O V E.. after 16 hours.. (with an overnight in Denmark.. 1/2 way) we arrived.. Hilton - Prague.. 

march 27 After Dane was attacked.. I was pretty sure that our Easter vacation was RUINED.. thanks a lot - you big jerk. bully.. but after a weekend of being in the dumps.. I decided to just screw it. if the Dr. thought it OK.. we would load the kids in the car & head somewhere FANTASTIC. Dr. said Dane'sleg was healing nicely... & we should enjoy the Easter holiday.. :-) WOOO HOO... NO - ONE- can throw together a last min. road trip like me :-) We threw the kiddos in the car... and decided to head to PRAGUE for a much needed break. yes.. one of the totally cool things about living in Europe.. being able to hop in the car & just go to Prague.. or Paris... or...  heading through Sweden as the sunsets...
