The real Christmas gift this year was having Aaron home for Christmas through New Years Day. Since moving to Charlotte last July, he has worked at Wells Fargo Investment Bank an average of 17 hours a day. The Lord has truely sustained him, and he continually amazes me. He is a wonderful husband and great father. He's lost over 120 pounds in the last 8 months and looks fantastic and feels great. During his time off we mainly hung out and enjoyed being together. He and AJ did some fun activities like going to a Bobcat game, a movie, shopping, and other things. They wrestled alot, which is AJ's favorite thing to do with his daddy. We enjoyed lots of football and hanging out with our friends Jay and Karen and their 4 kids. Audrey has unfortunatley been sick most of December, but seems to be on the mend. She loves her daddy and often acts shy and cute whenever she sees him. She is trying to walk and is almost there. She'll give you a 5 if she really likes you and has started to wave "hi" by opening and closing both of her little hands. She is full of personality and facial expressions that say it all. Besides mom and dada, she just started saying "ah duh" for "all done" and its way cute! She is a drama queen with the prettiest blue eyes ever. AJ was so excited to get back to school. He loves his Kindergarden teacher Mrs. Crist and has many friends. He is 6 now and growing faster then a weed. He just finished his first gymnastics class and soccer season. He currently is loving basketball and martial arts at the Y. He is smart, loving, creative, imaginative, spiritual and a handful! He already knows everything and how to do it...

Destination Wedding in Saint Croix ~ December 6th - 9th 2012

Image
Aaron's friend Chris from Wake Forest Business School invited us to his wedding on Saint Croix, one the U.S.Virgin Islands. When it finally came time to leave it seemed pretty unreal. Last December we were in Punta Cana loving the beach, now we were again able to be on a beach, only an American one, not in America. We flew to St. Thomas, then we squeezed into the plane in the pictures you see above and below.  It held 10 passengers including the pilot.  He turned around and gave us the basic instructions including the no-smoking bit, but if you really wanted to you just needed to step out the door, it was only 50 feet (or something like that). I was in the last row and my head was touching the ceiling. It was exciting and a little unnerving which just made the trip that much more adventurous. The view was breathtaking in many ways. After landing and taking a taxi (large full size van) that drove on the left side of the road thanks to the once British rul

Baseball, Soccer, Botanical Gardens~ May 18th - 24th

 Audrey loves the sand box.  She has no problem getting or being dirty.  The heat also does not deter her from playing in the sand.  I stand in the shade most of the time unless she wants me to build her castles that she can knock down or step on.  AJ's soccer season is over and he had a great time.  Above is a picture of the parents vs kids game we played at the soccer party.  Thankfully this year no parent or kid got hurt.  After the game we had a picnic and the players got their medals.  Audrey ran circles around the field and kicked loose soccer balls around. We had these 2 coaches for 2 seasons and they were awesome with the kids.  AJ definitely improved because of their abilities.  We will miss them as they move on to college in the fall. AJ is still enjoying his baseball season.  In the pictures above he got a single, but eventually made it all the way home.  Daddy was there to see it since it was on a Saturday, and Audrey enjoyed watching L

Hornets Game and the Roome Reunion ~ March 2016

Image
We love to visit Daddy at work.  While there we often go up to the 10th floor observatory and see the city lights. Our stake had a Luau and President Hall roasted a huge pig for us.  The kids love to dress up for any occasion and are pretty experienced in posing for pictures... Our martial arts studio had their annual Easter Egg hunt.  We have fun at all their holiday parties. The kids and I enjoyed watching the St. Patrick's Day parade. We kept thinking about Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen and how much they'd love to be at this parade too since they served a mission in Ireland. Little Miss Audrey and I loved watching the Little Mermaid ballet.  She is getting old enough to appreciate these activities and I'm so happy since I've been looking  forward to taking her for a long time. We happened to be visiting Fire Station 1 when they were washing the truck and the kids were excited to help! The fire fighters said to come by and
