Martial Arts Easter Party, Spring Break in California ~ April 1st - 15th 2014


I love springtime!!


Our martial arts class met at a park to have an outdoor class and Easter egg hunt.  The class was fun in the sand and the egg hunt even more fun!

















Audrey and I had lunch together at her school and then played in the park. She is my little sweetheart!




My Easter cookies this year!


In the airport waiting to board the airplane to California for Spring Break. Audrey and AJ's favorite part of the flight is the take off.  Mine too actually!



Everyone wanted to be with Papa so that's where they all ended up to watch a movie, while he took a nap. We love fun Easter traditions like coloring eggs with cousins and of course the big Easter egg hunt. The adults and older kids have lots of fun hiding the eggs into all sorts of nooks and crannies. 











After church Grammy took us to her favorite lookout points in San Pedro. 



We went to visit Grandpa Robby and Carol in San Diego and also enjoyed a trip to the Wild Animal Park.










 The kids were brave let butterflies land on them. It was really cool to see so much variety and color.










Ice cream at the zoo is always extra special and delicious!







 With Aunt Alicia and cousins we went to visit the La Brea Tar Pits. We saw and learned quite a bit about what happened there. The kids had a great time and we made more fun memories.














These kids would climb trees all day if they could.  These trees were perfect for climbing.

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
