July is a fun month around here in the Sorensen house. It's full of birthdays! We start the festivities off with mine on the 16th. I have been on a no sugar kick but got the day off for my birthday and went a little crazy. Started the day with chocolate chip pancakes in bed =), a bag a Cheetos puffs and a candy bar for lunch, not even sure I ate a real dinner but i do remember a Delicious chocolate cake and 2 chocolate cupcakes for dessert. It was wonderful and worth the stomach inconvenience the next morning.
Next there is Brett's B day on the 20th. Brett got a few good presents earlier like in June (ya we cheated) and got himself some new golf clubs. He has decided to become a golfer. (We will just toss this in there with his racquet ball obsession last year when we got him a 100$ racquet and see how far this goes.... hehe) On his actual birthday, we got him a water bottle, some of his favorite chocolates, and some nice black socks since he wears his suits all the time now. We went out most of that day also to go see Ice Age 4 (yes we did, in 3D even and we didn't bring the kids- we are THAT cool) and also out to eat that night to one of our favorites - Outback Steakhouse. Yum!!
Adalie's birthday sums up the month on the 25th.
Brett took her out on a date to go see Brave the night before since he had to work most of the day on her birthday day.
Me and the boys had our own little movie night when they were gone with Cason's personal favorite Monsters Inc. We had a small cake the night of her birthday and let her open a gift from us. That saturday we were going to have a birthday party with friends, but since the weather was a little iffy, we had to push it to the next week. She did however still get to have cake and blow out another set of candles since I had already made her perry the platypus cake the night before it got canceled.
And she also got to open her gift from us and also her grandparents. Brett and I made her this doll house that my parents had gotten bits and pieces of from a friend. It was terrible to put together and floor and wallpaper. But she absolutely loved it! Grandma and Grandpa Colorado get her lots of fun furniture to set up in her new house and Grandpa and grandmomma Jenkins got her tinkerbell who came with a little stove as well. Another perfect fit. Adalie now has the perfect place for all her little mini princess'.
Then the lucky little girl got a 3RD party the Wednesday after with all of her little friends.
The theme was phineas and ferb...one our favorite cartoons around the house. It was an outside water party, and Brett and I were so busy trying to keep19 kids entertained with water games, that we really didn't get many pictured of it.
She DID have a blast and wants to have the exact same party next year....uh don't count on it honey- I am surprised I still had hair left after that one.
And here are more random pictures of are very low key summer spent mostly inside with the AC or outside in the sprinkler....Oh and I am sure there are about a billion mistakes in this post that my husband will so graciously point out to me but I am in a hurry playing catch up and am in no mood to proof read.
AND give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far!! GO YOU!!
check out that tongue action. that's when you know she is really concentrating.
And yes my kids are that cute thank you =)
