Random Phone Pictures

I realized it's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd just put up some pictures from my phone. We're trying to stay busy, but this weather makes it difficult to want to go anywhere. I have spring fever for sure! All this snow has taught Bridget to be quite the shoveler though, I really wasn't taking her outside with the intent of child labor, we were going to drive around her princess car, but she's just such a big helper she wanted to shovel snow! : )

Jake was helping Bridget shave to get ready for church, we're so glad she's in to grooming!
Poor Bridge has been breaking out in chronic hives every few weeks for the last few months so her doctor sent us to an allergy specialist. They did a scratch test on her back to rule out some common allergies. First they marked all over her back and then put little drops on each dot, then they poked and scratched every single mark. It was really sad but she was a trooper! We're still not sure what's causing the hives but we consider this a good problem and we're grateful that we've never had to deal with anything really serious like so many other people we know.

Bridget and I got to go to Colorado a couple of weeks ago and take it easy with my family. We were sad to leave Jake but we still had fun. ; ) We went to Costco with my mom and Bridget does not like to sit in a shopping cart for longer than, oh, a minute! So we buried her in 15 lbs. of produce, gave her some samples, and that was that!

It's a...

Girl!

We're so excited to have two little girls running around and even more excited that we won't have to buy any clothes! ; ) We're poor, what can we say!? She's due on my birthday, May 3 so 5 months down, 4 1/2 to go!

Happy Halloween!

So once again my pictures are backwards, maybe someday I'll figure out how to upload them the right way! So here's just a few more pictures of our fun Halloween in addition to the creepy old man pictures of Jake. : ) We had fun carving pumpkins and making caramel apples which turned out to be so hard they pretty much break your teeth. We also got to spend Saturday with my cousins Joslin and Dusty and little Eder pants, and their brother and sister-in-law and their daughter. It was a really good day despite the nasty rain and cold! First we went to Gardener Village and saw all the decorations and witches. Then we went trick-or-treating at Jordan Landing to some of the little stores. Then we went back to Joslin's house and made some yummy dinner. We contributed the breadstick bones and monster toes, which were so nasty looking I really had trouble eating them! Later that night Joslin, Kerrisa, and I took all our girls trick-or-treating in the freezing cold while our husbands enjoyed watching football in the nice warm house. ; ) They would have come if we made them but we were feeling nice. We had a really good time and appreciate Joslin and Dusty letting us come over!

The Curious Case of....Jake Sorensen?

So for some reason I really procrastinated Halloween this year. Even though I was so excited and I love Halloween, I guess I just figured that our costumes would magically appear! So the day before our ward party I ran around trying to find Bridget a costume and luckily Old Navy had a super cute Princess costume which was perfect because she's our little princess! I just had to add a few touches and then it worked great! So then an hour before the party I realized Jake and I didn't know what we were going to be. So at the last minute we decided to be old people and I'm pretty sure Jake had way too much fun with it. He went in to the bathroom looking 26 and 20 minutes later walked out looking 62! Actually older I think! It was so funny! People at church seriously did not know who he was. We had fun with it and I would be ok if he looked like this when he really is old! ; )

She's too cute!

I couldn't resist putting this picture up. This is so Bridget's personality! She's just so fun and so energetic. Of course I'm always so grateful for her, but lately I just can't help but feeling so blessed to have her. I can't believe I get to be with her everyday and watch her learn and grow. I love being a mom!

Our CrAzY Summer!

Hello Everyone! I haven't blogged in forever and I'm sure you were all just dying to know what has been going on in my life right? ; ) Anyway, we had a really fun summer and boy was it crazy! Jake got hired as a full time seminary teacher at Syracuse High School so we moved in to his parent's house while they are still living in Japan. We are still getting unpacked and adjusting but we really appreciate having free rent and tons of room! Thanks Curt and Colleen! So I took tons of pictures of our summer but of course I'm having technical difficulties and can't get them off my camera so I had to steal these pictures from Ethan and my sister-in-law Ashley. Hopefully I can get the rest off my camera soon! So here are just a few fun things we did this summer!

Best parts of this summer:
-Moving
-Stadium of Fire
-Family Reunion with Jake's family
-Ran a half marathon
-Went to Mexico
-My sister-in-law Steph got married to Geoff!
I'm sure I forgot stuff but it was a busy summer! And it was so fun!


Here are some pictures from the Park City Half Marathon we ran with Jake's family. It was actually really fun and so rewarding. We left at 4:30 that morning with our kids and headed to Park City in the freezing cold morning air. We were so lucky to have had 2 of Jake's very responsible cousins there to watch the 3 kids while we ran.

The week before the half marathon we got to go to Mexico with my family and it was so fun! We stayed at a timeshare on a resort and had a blast! We stayed about a minute away from the beach and it was beautiful. We got to snorkel, which was a first for me, we visited Tulum on the LDS Tour, swam and swam and swam, and went to Cozumel. Did I mention how fun it was!? Because it was so fun! Thanks mom and dad!

Cousins

We're still having computer problems but my cousin Joslin sent me this picture...last week Jake and I had to go to a meeting for his new job that started at 7 in the morning and went until 7 at night. So my WONDERFUL cousins Joslin and Dusty let us spend the night so we didn't have to get up even earlier and then Jos watched Bridget the entire day! She already has a baby of her own so I can only imagine what her day was like with Bridget walking all over the place. She took them both for a walk and crammed them both in the stroller...so cute. Bridget loves Eden and I hope they grow up to be best friends just like all me and my cousins. Thanks for watching her Jos, you're the best!
