Summer Fun!


Being home with a brand new baby brother all summer can get kind of boring so we make our own fun.  Tate and Grey made good use of the dress up chest.



Zoe decided this would be the perfect opportunity to practice her makeup skills.



Scary right?  Good preview for Halloween!


Even Bekett got in on the action.  Here he is dressed like a ting toss.




My dad's sisters Roberta and Barbara came to visit and meet Bekett.


Aunt Barb decided to show Zoe some good basketball form.
(There is a floating Sydney in the background!)



Good try Zoe!



Aunt Roberta and Bekett


Speaking of Bekett he has grown a lot and now he is so smiley!



He loves bath time! 




We did take a trip to Utah to have baby Bek blessed.  My family met us in Utah and we were able to get a picture of the whole crew.

We visited the Zoo while in Utah.
We felt like we should bring these monkeys home for some reason! 


Suprise picture of Dad!

Of all of the things that have changed with this girl in the past year she still loves peacocks.




Wow someone else must have been in charge of the camera! 


Sweet Tate loves a train ride!



Pa and Taylor.

Ben brought his bottle rocket launcher to impress the nieces and nephews.
I think this launch took him by suprise!

Rockets are loud!


Silly brothers! 


Cutie pie Jacob.


Sweet face Taylor.

While we were in Utah we got to visit the Salt Lake City Temple.
Can you find the Sorensen's? 






Everyone needs an audience while they drink.





On the long drive home we stopped to visit my Grandma Marley and Granny Moon.  We left the camera in the car (oops!) but I got a picture of these beautiful flowers they gave us.



Tate and Grey got to share a queen size mattress.  I don't think they needed that much space!

Random Cell Phone Photos

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our situation Ben is the stay at home dad while I work full time.  This was of course a tough decision for us but was the best thing for our family.  It is a sacrifice for me though and I miss being home with the kiddos so Ben sends me pictures of them being adorable via text.  Here are some of my favorites:
 

Angel or master of diguise?
 







 
You tell me!
 

Bekett is already loving his jumper.
 
 

Loving Costco samples!
 
 



One of his first sweet smiles.
 



 
Zoe made this hat for him.



 
Sweet sister snuggles.




Man he was so tiny!
 
 
 



We actually forgot to take the camera to the hospital amid all of the rushing and chaos.  This was the only picture of our poor puffy newborn.  His eyes were so swollen that if he squoze them shut they would turn inside out like the boys used to do in my 5th grade class.  Gross and kind of scary.


 
He hurt his finger!
 



 
Sweet face!


 
 
Me and my sweet man at Disney.
 
These pictures were just the thing to keep me going on long days away from home.
