Ducks, Baseball, AJ's School, and Soccer ~ April 15th -30th


We love to find great parks and especially ones where we can feed ducks.  Freedom park is one of those parks.  We went with Tracey and Jacob, our amazing neighbors, and had a great time.





AJ's 1st grade class had a field trip to the Children's Theater and watched Busy Town.  I went with him and really enjoyed the performance.  I'd love to continue to take him to the theater with me, so I hope he continues to be interested in it. 


I love to see them involved and engaged in their own activities.


Baseball season is in full swing.  We are juggling soccer and baseball, but having a lot of fun.  We are excited to see AJ develop more skills and have a good experience with baseball. He usually plays left field and catcher.




AJ has a game during the week and one every Saturday.  I send pictures to Aaron of the games during the week while he is at work and then on Saturdays he joins us and we love it.  Eating popcorn for a dollar is a must and usually a hot dog as well in order to keep Audrey's attention on the game and not running around. After the foods gone I have my portable DVD player and she watches Little Einsteins so that I can watch AJ play. 



The Fitness Run is here.  AJ and his classmates were very excited to improve their running times and then get a popsicle.  They stretched and got their numbers and most did improve their times! AJ was so happy that he did his best run of the year.





Audrey and I love to go to AJ's school for lunch and any field trip or activity.  Today the school had a "Family Picnic" and invited families to come with a blanket and food to eat with their child's class.  After we ate we got to go to the Out Door Museum, which was a little walkway behind the school in the trees showing the different plants and vegetation in the area.   On the way there Audrey played with all the kids that absolutely adore her.  They all love to hear her say their names and if they are lucky she gives them a five.






AJ loves soccer.  It is is favorite sport and he has played it since he was 3. He has definitely continued to improve and become more competitive.  It makes me happy to see him like playing so much. He would be sad when we missed a game or practice for baseball, but he wanted to be able to do both for just this season.  Next year we will just play one sport at a time.

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

Image
 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
