Summer Fun

We have been having so much fun this summer! There have been many library activities, we went to Shaun the Sheep, our boys have grown, we went to a farmer's dinner, we have had many days at the pool, making messes and playing with our toys, harvesting, and so much more!!

Fourth Of July

Abe graciously let his truck and trailers be used in the parade today. Many of the Sorensen family members joined in on the float. We sang and cheered; our candy ran out in about 30 seconds. I may not know everyone by name, but we had a great time! 

I was asked to take a group family pictures. It was comical and impossible to try and get everyone to look. Oh well.

After a break at home and some cookie making we headed to the outdoor pool and park just in time to be poured on. It was so cold and windy as well. We didn't last long. Back to our house and laughing with joy due to the rain!

In the evening there was a talent night. There is a lot of talent in the family and everyone wants to share. It makes the night long! We left after a couple of hours because our boys were so tired!

Sorensen Family Reunion

We have been anticipating this reunion for quite awhile. I even helped in the final stages of piecing together a book of everyone's history.

Darci was in town while I was at girls camp and she took care of my boys and all of their needs. The day I got home she was on her way to California to stay with Drew and Becky. It was fun to have them back and spend time with them. They like to stay in our camper and so we get them at our house quite often. The poor kids are not feeling very well, but they are still smiling and trooping through everything. 

Today we kicked off the even with an evening together eating, singing, and chatting. 

Liam and Sawyer

 Franklin and Lyric

 Aurora

We always enjoy a good animal train ride . . . well I shouldn't say always, but this year was a success. The kids played and played. I hardly saw Crew, but Sawyer hung around a bit, and Abe spoiled him with a huge can of soda. I sneakily dumped most of it out when he shared it with me. 

 Liam and Darci

 Will, Crew, Lyric

 These boys were so clever and played water bottle "volley ball"

 Sawyer was worn out and pretty much done with the night when he fell and got hurt. What a dirty and sad boy!

Happy Birthday Franklin

It's always fun making a birthday cake for someone when we are all together.
