1st Day of School 2011

Well today the boys headed back to school. They woke up early to a yummy breakfast and off to get ready and of course picture time. I can't believe they are both in Jr. High, bittersweet for me and Mike. I am so glad that get to have a year together at school. They came home with smile and excited to go tomorrow. Hopefully that last the whole year.

Breakfast before School

Walking in to School :(

After School

Can't forget this little guy he

missed his brother's.

That time of the year alreday..........

for school to start again and one of my favorite things football. I love watching my older boys play football. They are super excited and can't wait. I can't believe that this time of the year is here already. Where did our summer go? We have had a fun and very eventful summer, I hate to see it go, but am super excited to watch Austen and Tanner play football and for Jake to tag along like he is part of the team.

Picture that will make you LaUgH!!!!!

So Day #7 is a picture that will make you laugh. I chose this picture because every time I look at it or even think of this day I laugh. This is my nephew in this picture he is 6 and he in now going to turn 18 so after 12 years we are still laughing. Justin got a really bad sunburn when he was ice fishing with his dad the dad before Valentine's Day. When they got home from fishing he looked normal, but that next morning when he woke up and went and into his parents room to say Happy Valentine's Day this is what his face looked like. I remember my sister bringing him to my parents house and all of didn't know if we should cry or laugh. He had just little slits for eyes and when he smiled he looked like a different kid. This kid has had many moments that we can looked back on and laugh, but this one has to be one of those pictures that not makes me laugh, but we all get a kick out of it.

Normal

Sunburned

Who would I like to change places with for a day?

Day #6! Changing place with someone. I thought about this and many people went through my head most of them rich and famous, but then I thought how great it would be to change places with my 3 boys. Austen one who has a care free life and is just loving life. He enjoys every minute of his day, until he has to go to bed, but he seriously has not a worry or care in the world right now. Tanner he is just always wanting to make people laugh. He loves to chill on the couch and watch his favorite show and once again not a worry or care in the world. Jake he is just a busy body. Loving being with his brothers, and just enjoying be outside and playing until he crashes. I sit and look at these boys and wonder how it would be just to know everything is taken care of and there aren't any worries. I love these 3 boys more then anything and to spend a day in their shoes would be a day well spent.

Memories...........

is the challenge for Day #5. I love to create memories and love spending time with my family and friends and creating these wonderful times. This was a hard one because I have so many fun memories it is hard to pick just a few.

The time we spent in California. I love traveling with my whole family and the memories we have created are priceless. Looking forward to many more vacation with my family.

When we went to our 1st Hockey game. The boys had the time of their lives and enjoyed every minute of the game.

Spending the night with the Sorensen's

So challenge #4 is a post about how you spent your night. A normal Sunday for the Sorensen house is church, dinner, naps especially for our dad. And then we are off to visit family. Since Mike is still gone the boys and I headed down to spend our evening with these lovely people and to enjoy some warm weather.

Challenge Day #3

Challenge #3 is to post a picture of your favorite TV show. I have several I love to watch so I just post a couple. I love anything that will make me laugh and these to show make me laugh every time I watch them.

Challenge Day #2

A picture of you and a person you have been close to for the longest. This was kinda hard for me because I have many people in my life that I have been super close to. My dad, mom, sisters and brother. We are a close family and they have always been there for me and my family, but the one person I feel that I have grown closet too over the years is this sweet guy!I know love the picture right, but he is always pulling some face in every picture we have together so this is what you get. I love this guy more then life it's self. I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. He brings me to much joy and happiness and over the years that we have been married he has been my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my person to vent on, puts up with my whining and complaining, encourages me and the boys to always follow our dreams and goals, a WONDERFUL father to his boys, and most of all just being married to me. He is a man of great patients and provides well for his family. Just writing this makes me tear up because I feel that I have truly been blessed to have such a wonder person in my life. I love this guy and am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with this sweet man!

St.Patty's Day!

Just like every other year we had to have our "GREEN" dinner on St. Patrick's Day! My family had the big family dinner the Sunday I was in Vegas so I didn't get any pictures of that but the boys had Mike said it was yummy and of course "GREEN". So on Thursday we had our dinner and made everything green. The boys requested breakfast for dinner so that is what they got. We had green pancakes, eggs, milk, juice, and they loved all of it. Austen struggled eating the green eggs, but got over it once he knew they tasted the same. We had a great dinner other then one little problem. Tanner burnt the bacon. He loves to help and decided to put the bacon in the microwave for 4 mins on a paper plate and not watch it. Not long after that I see smoke pouring out of the microwave and a horrible smell. He had to give me a hard time since not to long ago I put easy mac in the microwave without the water. I guess you can say he takes after his mom. So other then the stinky smell we had a great St. Patty's day and no one got pinch cuz we were all wearing green!

Basketball, Basketball and more Basketball...

Yes this is what we have been doing for the last several months now. We have one or two games during the week and then Austen and Tanner both play on Saturdays. I have to admit Mike and

I absolutely love watching our boys play ball. We are so proud of both of them.

Austen #4

Love them both and little Jake for tagging along with us and cheering his brothers on!

Valentine's Day 2011

I am so blessed to have 4 sweethearts in my life that bring me so much joy, love, and happiness. I am truly a blessed mom and wife to have such a wonderful husband who I adore and love even more everyday. Three handsome sons that make me smile everyday and just knowing I was picked to take care of them and love them with all my heart. Words can not express how much I love them all. For Valentine's Day we did are usually heart shaped pancakes for breakfast, red juice and a kiss on the cheek from mom before they left for school. Then why they were at school I went to work turning our table into a candle light dinner. The boys look forward to it ever year and Jake getting a little older absolutely loved it. We had a great little dinner and told everyone how much we love each and other and of course we ended the night with a KISS goodnight from mom.

Extreme Makeover 2010

Mathew's Plumbing got he opportunity to do some plumbing on the Extreme Makeover Home in Pocatello. They worked endless hours, but loved every minute of they felt that the family was a very deserving family. Mike invited me and the boys to come down a couple times and see the house be done. It was amazing seeing all of the people that were donating their time and doing something so nice for another family. When they were all done on the last night we got invited to go down to a V.I.P party and have dinner and they had a little dance. It was fun we got some picture we the STARS of the show and the dinner was yummy. I just want to tell my husband, brother, brother-in-law and my dad how proud of them I am and they are awesome for all their hard work they put in to make this house turn out for such a wonderful family.
