Aunt Cara and AJ's 100th Day School Activity ~ February 1st - 10th


We were sooo lucky to have my sister Cara visit us for a week from North Ogden. We played, made yummy food, visited the Discovery Place, made crafts, shopped and enjoyed every minute with her. Somehow I didn't take many pictures except at the temple, which was definately a highlight of the trip.



We went for some walks and one was to the waterfountain and rock nearby the house.  The kids love to get on the big rocks and have me take pictures of them.  Everytime Audrey sees a rock that she can sit on, she asks me to take a pictue of her while she sits down.
 




Aaron drove all of the family and Cara to Columbia, SC to our closest temple.  Cara and I went in while Aaron took the kids for a few hours. It was a sweet experience being there with Cara and I loved sharing it with her.  Aaron and the kids enjoyed walking around the temple and played at a park near by.


 


 







AJ's school celebrated the 100th day of school by having the kids decorate their own shirts and participating in activities that involved the number/counting to 100.  AJ designed his shirt of 100 eyes and I glued them on for him. I was able to help with the activites and had fun being there with AJ and his class.



Walking 100 steps, 100 jumps, 100 dots of paint, #100 on a hat were a few of the activities.




AJ's teacher showed me this paper in his notebook. The assignment was to write about someone special to them. This is really sweet.

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
