Martial Arts Halloween Party, Disney On Ice, Family Pictures, Make a Wish ~October 2015



Audrey is really making progress in her gymnastics class.



Audrey and Aaron love Halloween and talk about it throughout the whole month of October.  Our martial arts class had an early Halloween party and they were so excited. Audrey is definitely a tomboy princess as you'll see in the pictures to come.  She likes to play with the boys and can hold her own. 






Audrey took Daddy to Disney on ice for his birthday. They had a blast and Audrey even got a slushee in a princess cups.  




















This fall soccer season had numerous games cancelled because of rain.  In this game Aaron got to play the goalie and was excited to wear the goalie gloves. 



We got our family pictures taken by Lindsey Hart and they turned out awesome!  I love all the pictures and they will make a great display in our living room.













Some little girl lost her front tooth and wanted to get her picture taken in her paper gown.





The kids and I had another graduation.  Aaron and I earned our red belts and Audrey earned her brown belt.







We joined our friends from The Epiphany School to walk with Autism Walk.  The kids had a fun time and even got to paint pumpkins and jump on a bouncy.  







Aaron had a great opportunity to attend a "tricking seminar" and really enjoyed it!



Aaron made lots of paper airplanes and was very proud of himself. 





Aaron and I went to the Make a Wish Ball in Atlanta.  His company bought a table to support one of Aaron's clients. I had a very stressful time finding my first formal gown and accessories, but when I finally did I felt a little like a princess.  Aaron encouraged me to get my hair and makeup done and it was so fun. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting some of the people he works with on a regular basis.








I got to go with Audrey's kindergarten class to Aw Shucks.  We had a great time! 








Audrey and Aaron love to pick out a pumpkin each year. 


Aaron loves eggnog! Can you tell??


Aaron does not like to touch anything slimy, so he suggested gloves while cleaning out the pumpkins.






We had a great time in the mountains by Asheville. We were invited by a wonderful couple that Aaron met while serving in the Columbia temple. We stayed at their "guest house" for a night and enjoyed hot tubing, a huge bonfire, driving, shooting, and lots of fun! We also visited the Biltmore Forestry School.






















Joe piled lots of wood and poured lots of flammable liquids all over the wood.  It took off quickly and was incredibly hot.  We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs and really enjoyed being with them.






The kids were so excited to learn to shoot at cans.  They did fairly well, but I did assist Audrey a lot! 


They absolutely loved driving!! It was so fun to see them absolutely thrilled to be behind the wheel.














Towards the night Joe took us for a drive and it was a crazy rough amazing ride.

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
