Camera woes...

I know it has been a while but at least I have a little excuse. Back in March we accidentially permanently lent our camera to a stranger during our trip to Disneyland. Very similar to the time two years ago when I did the same thing on our trip to Hawaii. I hope those strangers enjoyed our family photos! Anyway I got a new camera for my birthday so now I can take pictures again and do some catching up.

Andrea has started playing soccer which is a blast to watch. The first game her team spent most of the time trying to figure out which goal they were supposed to score in. They would just kick the ball toward which ever goal was closest which resulted in several goals for the other team! Andrea is doing great and seems to like it as long as she gets the treats after the game and can play on the toys after as well. (All very important parts of the game!) Quite frankly I am just happy she is trying soccer. She is also a pretty fast runner just like her dad.


This picture is of Andi as the goalie. Really I think it was a relief society meeting for all the girls on the field. The ball was at the other end of the field at the time I took this picture.


Here is our little runner!

Andrea, Nick and myself frosting cookies for FHE.



Nick is doing great as well. He has really started talking a lot lately. I especially love the insights into his little mind. We use bralellas at our house instead of umbrellas. Just about anything is his "Fravorite," and "Leggy Bugs" (Lady Bugs) are scary. He is my big helper around the house and especially loves to scrub the toilet as well as other things with the toilet scrubber. This picture is of Nick and how he likes to sleep during nap time. He is totally the cool dude of our house!

This is Nick and my Grandpa Sorenson taking pictures at Andrea's game. Thanks grandpa for trusting him with your camera!

Mother's day was great. Mike and the kids made me pancakes and the cutest cards in the world. Andrea's card was a cute heart drawn by her and the words "I Lose You" written in the middle of the page. I love you too Andi! Nick's card was a whole page and at the top of the page was a small circle which was my head apparently, a few lines strewn about the page which were my arms and legs and a GIANT circle that took the entire rest of the page which was my belly. Thanks Nick! (He will probably remember me like this forever.) For church they had all the mom's of nursery kids come to the nursery for snack time with the kids. I loved being there with Nick as he was so proud to have me there. He made sure to tell everyone that I was his mom. I am pretty sure I am the luckiest mom ever to have such great kids!

For dinner we went to visit Mike's mom, and after which I took the kids outside on the farm for some pictures. I think when the baby comes we will have to go up there for family pictures. They really have a lot of cool stuff around the farm!

Nick doesn't just say "cheese" anymore. I think he will be the clown of our family.

This is my first video post so I hope it works. This is something else that Nick does randomly at the dinner table. It always catches us off guard and you can't help but laugh.
