My Turn
Now its my turn to jump :). It doesn't look like we jumped very far but when you jumped it felt like you were in the air forever! It was awesome!
Spring Hoppa!
This is the cornus that we jumped off and got stuck in that I told you about in the last post. This is the first time we jumped off of it. Phillip is jumping.
More Norway! :)
NORWAY!!!!
I made a beautiful snow angel!
The snow was so deep that there was just a little tunnel made for the kitchen window so Nikolai, Phillip, and I crawled down there and scared Mormor haha. (Katrine's mom)
The last day the snow was really wet and heavy so when Sebastian, Phillip and I jumped off a cornus we got stuck and couldn't get our feet out,and it was getting dark. I ended up getting one foot out and was able to get my other foot out of my shoe. I ran down to the cabin without one shoe, got a shovel and went and dug everyone else out haha. Memories haha :)

Hej Hej!
Wow lots has happened! Things are going amazing here! Right now I am in the middle of class but we are just taking notes that I already have so instead I am going to write to you guys! :) So this past week school was out for something called Sportlov, I don't know exactly why but I'm cool with a break haha. So for Sportlov my family and I set out to Norway. Katrine, my host mom, her family owns a cabin in the mountains between Bergen and Oslo. So we left Saturday morning at about 5.30 a.m. and drove for about 10 hours and arrived at the cottage at 3 p.m.. I slept at least half of the way so it only felt like a 5 hour ride there. Katrine's parents were at the cottage when we arrived. The next day Sebastian was sick with a really high fever, so Katrine's mom stayed with him while Katrine, Calle, Phillip, Nikolai, and I went out cross-country skiing. Katrine had to teach me since i have never done skiing that way. In the beginning I fell like 7 times but in the end I got it and Phillip and I were way ahead of everyone. You know I really enjoy x-country skiing, I would never do it competitively, but I enjoy just going out and getting the heart rate going and see everything. It was a little windy so we didn't go far before we went back to the cabin. When we got back Phillip and I stayed outside and played in the snow, most of the time we were jumping off the roof into the snow, it was fun. The next day Sebastian was still sick, he was sick with fever until about Friday. Anway, the next day we went out on skiing again and then Phillip and I continued to jump off of the roof, we advanced to running and jumping off the roof. The same routine happened on Tuesday. Then on wednesday after our usual ski outing Phillip came down with fever and also Calle came down with it too. On Thursday we had planned to go to Gailo to go down hill skiing for the rest of the week but everyone was sick so we decided not to go. Also on Thursday Katrine's parents left to go back home, they are really nice. That night Katrine came down with fever also. So on Thursday night it was up to Phillip (he was better by now) to make dinner, and we made a really yummy dinner and chicken and rice. On Saturday it was really really windy and snowy, we had originally planned to go home that day but Nikolai came down with a very high fever and Katrine was still sick. So on Saturday Calle and I packed up the car and we were ready to head home but the road never opened. So we stayed one more night. Since we had originally planned to go to Gailo we didn't pack any food for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Good thing the road opened on Sunday because we were getting really low on food. haha. It was a very long ride home. But we got home at about 8 p.m. I had a really really great time. I definitely knew when we got back into sweden because there was no snow. There was sooooo much snow in Norway, it snowed almost everyday. It was way fun. I loved it. Now, if I had the choice to move to Sweden or Norway I would most likely move to Norway. It fell in love with it haha. I will post some pictures later. Hope everyone is doing great!
Love,

Hej everyone!
Hej Hej!
Oh my goodness I am actually writing a blog that isn't like 5 weeks late! haha. I'm pretty proud of myself haha :). Anyway, things have been going really great! On Thursday we played floor hockey in P.E.. It was really fun until this one girl accidentally hit my thumb with her hockey stick which ended up bending half of my fingernail back and it started bleeding everywhere without my knowledge haha. It bled for a while but after it dried up it was good, a little soar, but good over all. Then on Friday I went to school and got home at about 12.30. That night I went to basketball and had a fun time there as always. Sebastian and his friend, Ludvig, and Katrina watched the last 45 minutes of practice. Ludvig said that I am the best basketball player he has ever met, obviously he hasn't met many haha but I will enjoy it while I can haha. After practice we picked Rosie, the exchange student in Ängelholm, up at the Laholm train station and brought her to our house. Mom had recently sent me a package with Geridelli (however you spell that) brownie mix. So the americans made some delicious brownies! Everyone loved them :), especially Phillip haha. So Rosie and I chilled with all the kids upstairs playing video games and chillin' out to some music. It was really fun and I am sure that the boys had an awesome time. At one point we started throwing my softball around in my room and Katrine, my host mom, was totally cool with it. She actually stood there and watched. It was really fun, I got taught Phillip and Sebastian how to catch with a baseball glove and everything. At about 11.30 we finally got to bed. I woke up at 7.30 and Rosie slept in till bout 10 haha. It turned out to be -15 degrees Celcius that day so Rosie decided she didn't want to go to Göteborg like we had planned. I was going to meet the girl that went to Lander for a year from sweden in Göteborg but since we didn't go I wasn't able to meet her there. It was kind of sad but owell. So Rosie and I just chilled at home with Sebastian and Ludvig and didn't do anything. We made some Reesee's pancakes that were really good and played some ping-pong and watched Youtube. Rosie and I's new moto is "What would Ian do?" Its a long story haha. Anyway that even there was a really nice sunset so we went to the beach and took some pictures and made a "documentary" of the legend of the penguins and the whale and the alpha sea monkey. It was quite interesting. haha. Then when we got home Katrine and Calle took Rosie back to the train station. Things are going great here! Love ya bunches,
