Just Having Fun! ~ October 2011

 
AJ loooooves Legos and will spend hours building and creating airplanes, buses, airports, parking garages and more.







AJ has lost both front teeth.  One is coming in but the other one is taking its sweet time. Maybe it will be in for Christmas.

 


Audrey loves this rocking bear I found at a consignment kids store for $8 dollars.  She drags it from room to room to ride it where ever she pleases.



This is the first pumpkin roll I've ever made.  I've always wanted to make one and finally did for a girls night out.  It actually looked and tasted great!


2 days a week we walk AJ to school. Audrey decided to bring her bear with her on this particular morning and when I pulled out my phone to take a picture she put her bear out like this...


We are playing at Gymboree. It has a lot of fun equipment to play and exercise on.





Audrey loves computers, but I won't let her touch mine.  When we go to the library I let her sit at their computers and push the buttons and move the mouse around.  She always wants the head phones on, but they last about 10 seconds on her head.


Audrey walks up and down the stairs all the time.  She sneaks up the stairs to get into the Legos in AJ's room. He runs up to rescue the Legos and forces Audrey back down the stairs.  It happens a few times a day and always causes some good drama.




AJ is taking a tennis class on Mondays.  He really likes it and is also improving quite a bit. I bought us some rackets and we like to go to the tennis courts in our neighborhood or just out on our street and play around.

AJ built this spooky house while listening to General Conference.  We also cut out pumpkins, ghosts, ravens and whitches from construction paper and AJ taped them around the house for decorations.


Audrey is being silly with play-dough. She also wanted to use markers so I decided to let her have the washable ones.  She loves to draw and holds the pencils and markers the right way. After the mess she made drawing all over herself, I went and bought an Aqua Doodle that writes with water and dries out by itself.  NO MESS!  " )

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
