Happy Birthday Niko and Uncle Mike!

So we all did it again… Uncle Mike’s b-day was yesterday and my brother Niko’s b-day was on the 1st… Niko has been in Mississippi to see a friend though and Uncle Mike spent his birthday with his kids… So HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU GUYS! I love you and I am so sorry I am late… AGAIN! I’ll get better at this… :)

Saturday…

Today is a snowy, cold Saturday… I’m feeling a little bad because on the 16th, was our little brother’s b-day and we all sort of forgot about it. So Brody.. Happy Birthday! I love you! Today we will celebrate!

This week has been ok. Vincent is going to be alright… He saw the doctor and we now know where the headaches are stemming from… Rickyman has been going to school everyday this week and he got an A- on his Chemistry test! YAY! And now it’s 3 weeks until we are home with our girls… A little less than 3 weeks actually… :) I’m so happy about that… I can’t wait.. It will be the happiest day of my life for sure…..

Sunday morning…

A cold Sunday morning… I was just outside to get the dog in from the backyard and it was freezing.. It’s about 15 degrees… Last week it got as warm as 60… All I know is.. I don’t need to see snow again until November… :)

I went to a new throat doctor on Wednesday… I’m actually happier with this guy… I go back to see him on Tuesday… And Vincent had an MRI done on Friday to see what is going on with these bad headaches he is getting… It was also our Boo Boo’s birthday on Tuesday… Ricky has been hard at work with school…

This weekend we have been resting… Yesterday.. the boys and I basically slept the day away… Our girls are in Norrkoping and will be back today… I miss them so much… Less than 4 weeks and we’ll be home… :) So now I will go downstairs and hang out with everyone… Our baby sister is in town for a couple more hours and our brother, Danny is here and he has agreed to cook his world famous pancakes… :) And I need some more coffee… :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BOO BOO..

Today is my beautiful daughter’s 18th birthday.. Wow.. Now there is two kids that are 18.. Boo Boo is the best daughter in the world.. It’s true Boo Boo.. You are.. I know that many people say that about their kids but I know it’s true that I have the best.. *ss* I love you so much Sanna… You mean the world to me.. I hate the fact that I am not home now to celebrate with you but when we get home in March.. we’ll have a big party.. *ss* I love you sweetheart.. Happy Birthday to you my beautiful girl..

Happy Birthday Caleb…

Today is my brother, Caleb’s, birthday.. He is 26 years old… HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEB! I LOVE YOU! Thank you for wanting to hang out with your older brother and for making me smile all the time.. :)

And tomorrow is my beautiful daughter’s birthday… My Sanna… She is going to be 18… WOW! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY BOO BOO… Daddy loves you so so much…

And I just want to say to my boys.. I love you both so much.. I know it’s been hard the past few days but you’ve been so wonderful and amazing..

And my Annukka.. I am so in love with you beautiful… Thank you for putting up with me and just being my everything.. I honestly don’t know how I’d ever breathe without you.. I couldn’t.. I love you baby…

Tuesday morning…

Good morning everyone… It’s almost 8 in the morning and I’m just sitting here.. drinking my coffee… I haven’t blogged in a week and a few things have happened.. My baby sister, Christina, celebrated her 31st birthday… It was cool because she was at the house this weekend and we were able to celebrate it with her.. Wow! I can’t believe she is 31 with 3 kids… I remember when she was just a little shit.. running around and causing trouble.. I remember babysitting her and her getting Tommy to do whatever she wants..  *L* Now I babysit her kids and she gets Joey to do whatever she wants.. I’m proud of her! She is an amazing, bossy woman.. *L*

I’ve also saw my regular doctor yesterday… I’m doing ok… I had a little blood pressure problem so I am on medication now to control that temporarily… And our boys have been sick.. Ricky came down with this bad eye infection.. then Vince caught it and his eyes are better today.. but his temp spiked… Now I am feeling like I’m coming down with something… I’ll take it easy today.. Maybe I can dodge it… I hope I can..

Other than that.. less than 6 weeks and I’ll be getting on a plane with the boys to get home to our girls.. I can’t wait.. I miss them more than ever..  I’m going insane being so far away from them… I LOVE YOU MY GIRLS! We’ll be home soon!

Rock N’ Roll…..

Early this morning, my brothers, Jason and Brody decided to come by… We had breakfast together and now they are hanging out… We’ve been having a 3 hour long jam session and it was so cool. Brody plays the drums a little bit. Well, he’s learning. Vincent promised to teach him more. :) But Jason and I were really getting into it.. The one thing about Jason.. he always pushes me to be a better guitar player and I really respect him for that.. Joey is also an excellent guitar player. Niko is a jack of all trades when it comes to music. He can play anything you put in front of him. *L*

This weekend I have been resting a lot. I’ve also been talking to my girls and thinking a lot about when the boys and I get home… I can’t wait.. Neither can the boys.. I can’t wait for just a normal Sunday at home… :) Last night.. I was ganged up on. *L* Vincent and Sanna will be sharing a room and I’m dealing with it. *L* What can I say? That is my little girl.. I can’t help but be the overprotective dad.. When Vince told Ricky.. Rick was one happy puppy.. He gets his own room. So I guess it works out for everyone in the end.. Except the old man here, still breathing into a brown paper bag. *L*

Vincent.. I just wanted to say.. I had a lot of fun with you last night. You’re so funny and you are really growing up.. So I do trust you.. I do trust you and Boo Boo.. I love you..

And my beautiful Ricky, Sanna and my Annukka.. I can’t wait to talk to you later on.. I can’t wait to hear all about IKEA! :)

Hanging out…

One more day until the weekend… I love Friday’s… I know today is Thursday but I am just saying.. I love Friday’s.. *L* I always have. When I was younger…. Friday’s were always about letting go of the stress of the week and going out and partying.. Then when I became a manager and eventual owner of a club.. Friday’s were about making other people party. Along with Saturday’s.. Now.. the weekend’s are about watching our kids relax and enjoy the 2 days that they have off.. I’m so glad that I don’t have a club anymore.. I’m so glad that I can just sit back and be with our kids.. That gives my life so much meaning. And when I get to Sweden with the boys.. it is just going to be perfection.. Then I’ll be able to sit back with my Annukka and we can watch our kids together.. That will be absolute heaven.

Yesterday, Rickyman got his math test back.. He scored a 98! CONGRATS RICKY! I am so proud of you son! You kicked ass and I knew you would! Good job my boy…

Today has been about seeing my regular doctor… I will have a full physical in 2 weeks which I am happy about.. I just hope he dosen’t grab nads and ask me to turn my head and cough.. *L* If that should come up.. I’ll ask if we can just skip that part.. Unless he intends to buy me dinner first. *L* KIDDING! It has to be dinner and desert. *L*Hey! You have to have some kind of sense of humor for humilating things like that. We also stopped off at the high school before to have a meeting with the Dean there.. My beautiful niece, Linda, has been going through a lot in school and Ricky has been coming to her defense a lot and getting in trouble. So we cleared things up with the Dean there and hopefully.. the school will be a much more mellow place for the kids to attend school for the time being…

7 more weeks until we get home to our girls.. I can’t wait.. I am missing them more than ever… My Boo Boo has been home today because she had a real bad headache.. It concerns me but I will talk to her in an hour and find out how she is doing.. And my Annukka has been working her ass off with a magazine.. She stresses herself out so much and she works so hard.. I wonder if the company she works for even understands what a valuable employee they have in my Annukka.. If they don’t.. they are some blind bastards.. Anyways.. Annukka.. baby.. I am proud of you darling.. I love you so much and just rest tonight! You need to take care of yourself too…

And Vincent.. good job on the hand therapy.. I’m proud of you son! I’m proud of all three of my babies.. THEY ROCK! :)

What a day…

January 20th, Inauguration day! It was awesome.. To see Barack Obama take the oath of office.. I actually had a tear in my eye… But as I was watching the coverage..  Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson said that Sen. Ted Kennedy had a seizure during the luncheon and that he was taken out in an ambulance… Ted Kennedy has been fighting a brain tumor for some time now and lets face it.. This guy is one of the best American politicians.. If you overlook Chappaquiddick which happened some 35 years ago.. This man has been in the senate for over 40 years.. John F Kennedy’s brother.. Bobby Kennedy’s brother.. This guy is the last of Camelot.. If you think about it..  America dosen’t have a royal family.. But we have the Kennedy’s and they are American royality.. So I pray that Sen. Kennedy is doing alright… He did a lot of civil rights and I’m hoping that he’ll be ok and that he’ll be able to get back to work to continue on.. He’s a good man..

The one thing that I kind of enjoyed more than seeing Obama take the oath.. is George Bush flying away on his helicopter.. For a second.. he looked like he might grab something and hang on and scream “I DON”T WANNA GO”.. That would have been funny.. *L* But he didn’t.. He left the drama up to Ted Kennedy.. I just heard that there is an improvement with Kennedy.. Thank God.. For a while there.. they were talking about him like he was dead…

Other than this historical day.. I went to see my doctor.. Rushed my ass over there to see him for 5 minutes.. And that is about it.. Rickyman just got home from school.. He will do his homework.. And in about 9 minutes.. Joey and I will talk to my beautiful girls who are trying desperately to get Kirre out of a tree.. For some reason.. I just keep thinking they should call the fire department.. I hope he is down now…

Happy Birthday Coltin…

Today.. my brother, Coltin, turns 29… HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO! I love you so much.. You are the best.. You’re talented, you’re sweet, you are good looking.. You are the total package! So make a move on Emily already! *L* Happy Birthday bro..

My therapist canceled today because he was sick.. He will come out on Wednesday instead.. That is alright.. He was supposed to come out on Wednesday anyhow.. And tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment.. Joey will be here tomorrow to come with…

Also.. tomorrow is a real special day because Barack Obama will be inaugurated as our president! YES! Finally.. Bye Bye Bush…

Other than that.. I am missing my girls.. As always.. I love them more than anything.. Along with our boys.. Rickyman is in school..  Vincent is hanging out with me.. He’ll be having hand therapy this afternoon.. Good luck with that Vincent.. And once again.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLTIN…
