4 Years TODAY

Aaron and I are celebrating our 4 year anniversary today... I have the best husband ever. He has been celebrating it all week. He brought home flowers on monday. Today he took of work, got a babysitter, and took me golfing and out to lunch. It was so much fun, even though we are both beginners and kinda stink. It was a blast to have a fun date like that. This weekend we get to have a getaway without the kids, I am so excited. I love my husband, I am so blessed to have such a sweet, loving man that is perfect for me. I love you sweetheart. Happy Anniversary, I can't wait to spend another year with you.

Pictures!!! --July Fun--

Here are some pictures of all of the things we did in July. There are quit a few. We had a ton of fun, and were very busy.

We celebrated Zaden and Grandpa Sorenson's Birthday last week. Zaden had a ton of fun. He had a Diego birthday, he got diego balloons, and cupcakes. Some of his favorite presents were the playdough, play gun, and bike. He had a really good birthday.

Grandpa turned 50 this year, and of course we threw all of our jokes his way. But we sure do love him. It is a tradition to make homeade ice cream. This year all the grandkids got to help, and they sure had a blast. All of the men in the family get the fun job of cranking the ice cream until it is ready

The twin babies were there to visit. Laken and Lukin. They are so cute. And they are so sweet. They had me wrapped around their tiny fingers. Usually I am not very good at holding other babies than my own, I get really nervous and they usually cry. These two I could have taken care of all day. They fell asleep on me, and when they started to cry I could actually calm them down. I had too much fun.

This month has been crazy, that is for sure, but it sure was a lot of fun. I also added pictures of the bear track that we got they are kind of fun to see.

Tomorrow he turns 3!

Well tomorrow is Zaden's birthday. He is so excited that it is finally his turn. He has gone through mine and Braddock's and he is just too excited that now it is for him. So we asked him what he wanted for his birthday, this is what he said. "BIKE". Since then he has added cupcakes and balloons. I am very excited to celebrate his birthday, it should be a lot of fun. So since we are going out of town, Happy Birthday to Zaden!!!!! He will be 3!!!!

(Okay so my next post will have pictures of everything, I PROMISE!!)

We hope everyone has a great 24th of July!!

Our fourth of July

Ok, once again I don't have pictures, and I am sorry. I do have lots to put on here, but I wanted to get zadens' birthday pictures before I posted them all. So on my next post I promise lost of pictures for you all to see.

We have had a great July so far. Even though I have to admit it got hot fast. We went to Richfield for the 4th of July and had a blast!!! For those of you who don't know Richfield does some very interesting things for the 4th. First there was the diaper derby. (for those of you that live in Richfield you can skip this cause you alreasy know, hehehe) okay so the diaper derby is where parents can sign there babies up to race against other babies their age. They either crawl, walk, or walk and pull something. But the one to get to the adult first go on to the next round and so on until they get 3 winners and they all get cash savings prizes. So I have to say I like to watch it, some of those babies are really cute. This year one of my neices was in it. Belinda was so cute she didn't move she just sat and smiled her big grin at everybody!!! The other babies in her heat didn't move for a long time either, they all were just having more fun sitting. So poor Belinda didn't make it past the first round, but she looked really cute with her sweet smile anyway!!!
Well then on the 4th we of course watched the parade. And both of my bays got lots of candy, and I mean lots!!!!!! They had a lot of fun though. After the parade we went to the city park where they have a lot of different booths set up, and food. So we just hung out at the park for a couple of hours and zaden got to make a race track at the home depot booth!!!
The big thing at the park for the kids is the fish grab. Now I have to say Everyone including me let's their kids do this, however I think it the really well almost horrifying, for lack of a better word. They have these sqare wooden pools set up for different age groups. Then they put these huge fish in and say "go" and these couple hundred kids just go running in the pools after these poor fish trying to catch them.... Zaden did not do good. The fish were really big and he just got scared of them, but that's okay maybe next year. Now the best part of all and hopefully people see the humor more than anything in this. My nephew has a prostetic leg okay, well when he went in after the fish his leg fell off. Seriously those poor little kids were picking up his leg and didn't know what to make of it. I'm sure you can imagine the horrifying looks on there faces. Not to mention the adults of those kids had no idea what to say. Little Nate is really good with his prostetic, thank heavens he doesn't get embarrassed. He was so excited about getting a fish I don't know how long it took his to realize his prostetic was gone.

So all in all in was a good weekend. Zaden loves playing with his favorite cousin Riddick. And Braddock had fun showing off his great walking skills.

I also had my 5 year High School Reunion. I didn't really go, but I was glad to see everyone that I got to at the park. Life seems to be really good for everybody.

Okay well like I said I will for sure have pictures on my next post I will just post zaden's b-day and the rest of the month together!!! I can't believe he turns three next week!!!

Time for a Change

Well it is time for a change. For me at least. Something I have been struggling with since I got married is losing weight. Granted having kids immediatly, and then everything that happened with Braddock. It has been a rough 4 years on my poor body. So I am officially maing a committment to myself and my wonderfully supportive family to lose some serious weight. I have no idea why I am putting it on my blog, other than to hopefully get support from my friends and family. I will not say how much I have to lose because, well that would just be embarrassing. But I do have a goal. We are going with Aaron's family next june to Yellowstone, that is my deadline. I am going to do it the old fashioned way. By simply watching what I eat, and exercise. I use to love to exercise and I have developed a hate for it. But I guess when you are out of shape that can happen. I don't like to exercise by myself, so i will hopefully be joining our rec. center soon so I ca go to classes. I swear this is not another "I'm Fat" so i'm going to lose weight saying, and then not do it. I really am just dedicated to be where I want to be. As I told my husband I don't want my kids to remeber me looking like this. Plus, I want them to know that physical health care is important.
So I think I will do regular updates I think to post how well I am doing, so it is okay if you give feedback. And hopefully soon we all will be able to start seeing a difference. I have no intentions of posting a before picture. Maybe I will of progress. But just don't expect a before until I have a good after one to put by it. It will look much better. So I guess here I go.
