Spiders
I was sitting on the potty when I saw a huge spider crawling across the floor. I yelled for Adalie to bring me a shoe and to hurry hurry! It got to far away for me to reach it so I said "Adalie hurry kill it!"She of course screamed no...then Cason came running up behind her, grabbed the shoe and not missing a beat, starts to smash the heck out of that spider. Considering more than half of us are afraid of spiders in this house, this trait will come in quite handy. Also, it is funny because Cason has a recent obsession with Spiderman and runs around all day jumping off of things yelling "SPI-Er-Man!!!

Its Gunna Happen
So, after months of "there is no way" "I just can't do it" and "She is still my baby!!", we have decided to send our little Adalie to Kindergarten. Shocked right?!? I am still dealing with it myself. School starts in 1 1/2 weeks and I JUST got done filling out her registration form and clicked the "submit" button. It's so final!! Sheesh! I am excited, nervous, antsy, worried, happy, sad,...every ridiculous emotion you can think of. BUT I know she will have fun and is so extremely excited to do this. I always have the option to take her out if its not going to well and also maybe have her do it again next year. We'll see!! I myself will probably be that parent that cries the first day, follows the school bus often...you know the helicopter parents?? haha well maybe not that bad. Here is to a first new school yr for the both of us Adalie!!
Where did the time go from this....
To This??
Today we drove by her school and on the way there she kept asking questions like...Is there going to be some wooden grapes on it, you know like olive garden? Or lots of corn? And plants?? You know, because it is Kinder GARDEN.... I seriously think she thought she was going to be planting things all year long. haha

lots and lots and lots to Read
Sorry I haven't been blogging too much. Remember when I used to be good at it?? My computer was at the Dr and I hate using Brett's school comp. BUT I am sure everyone is dying to know what is going on here so I will try my best to fill you in!! Let's see what I can remember....oh and get ready for a picture overhaul!!
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.
Brett got me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, chocolate, and a porch swing. THE perfect gift really. It's a little hot so I only get to use it in the morning and later in the night because it is hot as Hades here. I look forward to the cooler Autumn days where I will be out there more often.
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 =)

Life Now
Let's see....life right now. We have been doing a lot of hanging out in the house due to unbearably hot weather. Sometimes I get brave and venture into the heat wave, but then I remember. I am in love with the ac and not so much with sweat. I hear it is cooling off though, so we will have to check that out.
Brett has been doing a lot of studying.....nothing new right?? Well this time is a little different. It's the first half of his boards. It's a "See I am competent enough to be a dr" test, so its kind of a big deal. Lesson about my husband -- It's hard to tell when he is stressed. Good and bad thing. I think he is stressed, so often he let's it creep out but his stressed is also the same as being grumpy because he is hungry. Non the less, I feed him often so he doesn't get too cranky. Seems to be ok. Husband works well under pressure...and a full tummy.
Kids. Adalie finished her first little season of T Ball. Her daddy was even the couch. Something he says he will not do again =) I am a terrible mother and didn't get pictures. Well I got this one....
There is a team picture which Brett needs to scan in for me.... There are actually 9 kids on the team but only 5 showed for picture day. She is starting TBall again this Saturday. Since Brett will be able to sit with me, I will not be spending my whole time trying to keep Cason off the field and Brody screaming his head clean off. This will allow me to take pictures. Like a good mother does right??
Cason. Oh Cason.....He still pitches a fit for bedtime about 95% of the time and nap times have become few and far between. At least i can still get what we call "quite time" in for about an hour. He has a gate in the frame of his door and cannot get out. You know....like prison =) He is starting to talk more, which is fun. He sings all the time. I love that my kids love to sing.
Brody. One happy baby. He is getting so fun. He is teething which accounts for a lot of drool and sometimes crying spells, but most of the time he is all smiles. He rolls all over the place. He also sleeps on his tummy.This must be a hereditary trait as all of my kids end up on their tummies by 4 mths. Brett and I both cannot stand sleeping on our backs. He screams a lot. Not mad screaming, just loud talking really. How else does he expect to be heard in this place?? Poor kid has heard screaming since he entered the womb so he knows nothing else except for it to be normal.
Mommy. doing pretty well. I have gone a little crazy and have cut sugar out of my life for the next 30 days. i am 4 days strong. Sad, but a really big deal for me. I would eat cake all day if I had it. I think I might give myself an exception for my birthday later this month. That's not cheating right?? Also, I have let my house and laundry go to heck this past week. Rarely do I wash a dish, fold a shirt, or vacuum a floor. I am paying for it now. I DID fold 2 baskets of laundry and load the dishwasher today....which of course, means I am amazing.
