Our Thanksgiving!

So Thanksgiving was a wonderful Holiday and an even better break! We headed up early Wednesday morning (4 AM) and on the road to Colorado to Brett's parents house. Our heater stopped working about 45 mins into our trip. Not fun. It was Freezing in the dark morning without the sun. We got there around 1:00 and immediately felt the holidays beginning. It was so good to see Brett's mom and dad and his Grandparents. Adalie went to bed that night with a cough and a cold that would last almost the whole trip. Poor thing.

Thanksgiving Day was filled with good food and fun company. I felt bad not helping much in the kitchen. There really wasn't much Brett's mom let me do but keep her company. My green bean casserole took about two seconds to make and my pie didn't turn out quite as good as I hoped it would, even though everyone said it did. Haha Family.

Friday we thought about waking up early to catch the sales, but Brett got his GPS he wanted online in the early morning wee hours so we really didn't have too much of a reason to go into the stores. We did go at about eight though to Wal-Mart to get some more milk and looked around while we were there and I was actually very surprised at all the stuff still there!! We got Adalie a scooter bike for Christmas originally $89.99 for $39.00!! I couldn't believe it!! It's like a powerwheel - I am still shocked! I even picked up a few $5 barbies and barbie things for next years Christmas and we got our discounted Christmas tree. Needless to say I was pleased...I really do love good bargains and I feel good about. I am so excited for Brett and Aalie's faces Christmas Morning!!!

Saturday we headed out again with Brett's mom to do some more bargain shopping on Christmas stuff with her and she got Adalie her fist little pair of High heels. They are so cute and she has been wearing them around the house. She keeps saying she is a Pretty Princess and sings the Bibbadi Bobbidi Boo Song from Cinderella because they look like glass slippers. We also got our outfits for Family Pictures which I am nervous about taking since I am Big and pregnant.

It was such a fun and relaxing vacation. We left on Sunday morning and it was Brett's turn to have Adalie's cold, but feels a lot better today. I am glad. He has a busy week ahead of him and I will miss having a husband this week. I don't have the Camera on me now so I will have to upload all of our pictures tomorrow or later tonight when Brett gets home so stay tuned!!

Sweet Mornings

I love our mornings here at the house. Unless it was an absolutely horrible night which doesn't happen to often (probably just jinxed myself haha), our mornings are always full of smiles and giggles. Adalie wakes up so happy and runs to give you hugs and kisses. Sometimes she wakes up before us and tires to wake us up by gently stroking our face or our hair and gives you sweet kisses until you acknowledge she is there. Saturday mornings are by far my favorite though. Brett and I are still in bed and Adalie will usually climbed in and wedge herself between us and we will watch cartoons together until someone decides they are too hungry and we will have ourselves some good breakfast. It is just sweet moments like that I love and look forward to all the time. It is such a simple little thing but I love that moment I have with them on those Saturday mornings. That is one of those moments when it hits me they are mine and they are really here. Half an hour of carefree and uninterrupted time of just us with no worries. I absolutely love those moments, and if I take the time and look hard I can find them everywhere. I am so thankful for my little family and the blessing they are to me. I love them so much, more than I thought you could ever love someone. I have so many wonderful things in my life, the list would go on and on. My heart is so full and I am getting emotional, I better stop now while I have control of the tears. I just needed to take a moment to say I am grateful. This season, as well as always. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Enjoy the holidays and be safe!

Just Blogging to Blog

I always feel guilty when I haven't taken the time to blog about something even though nothing is really going on. This is pretty much the only journal I have, like most of you out there I think too so I feel like I should be writing something. I did start my Blog Book though! That's exciting! (thank you Caroline for the blurb tip!) It is going to be quite the project so I am glad I got started on it early. Question though - do you think I should publish it with the end of the year or right before February when the baby is born? And then just plan on starting a new one then with our adventures with both babies around?

Adalie got her hair cut on Saturday. You can actually see her blue eyes now so that's good. It is a little short, but will grow out soon enough like a mop again. Her curls are still there so that's all that matters. She looks like her daddy a lot more now with her shorter, not like she ever looked like me with her hair longer even but I just see her face more with short hair and there is Brett all over again. I am so anxious to see what little Cason will look like. Those Sorensen genes have come out pretty strong so far, so I am betting on another little Brett with curly blonde hair, but I guess you never know! Maybe we will get a Jenkins in this one since it is a boy. Dark hair, blue eyes, and a little taller =) hehe. Today is one of those days were it is hitting me like a brick that we will be having another little one aournd here sooner than later. I feel like I have forgotten everything. I can barley remember what happened with Adalie's labor and the weeks to follow when we brought her home. It all comes back to you right??

DMU

Brett got his acceptance letter to DMU today!! Yay!! At least we know we are going somewhere LoL. Brett is giddy with excitement! I think he is finally starting to believe how smart he is, although he would never admit it. They have offered us a good scholarship to come, but Brett still wants to check out AZ before he sends in deposit money to hold his place in Des Monies. I am so excited! Mostly I think for a change and a new home soon. Don't get me wrong, I love good ole' Utah and might even miss it, but I am ready for something new. And med school will definitely be something new. I am excited about the thought of Arizona too. Brett feels more confidant now about that interview coming up knowing he aced this one. Oh how fun!! One more step up the ladder and into the future. Congratulations honey!! I am so proud of you always!

26 weeks of Baby thoughts

So I am almost in the last trimester of my pregnancy and I am going bonkers. I am so emotional and my face is breaking out like a teenager. I never have had a problem with pimples or blemishes, not even when I was pregnant with Adalie, but this pregnancy has definitely been different - in good and bad ways. A times I can't believe I am even pregnant again, much less with a little boy. I am scared. I am anxious. I am nervous. Excited. Worried. Stressed. Everything all rolled into one hormonal ball of baby expecting. Some days I wake up just wanting the little guy to already be here. Other days I absolutely freak out at the thought of even going into labor remotely anytime soon. I go up and down all the time in levels of excitement. I think Brett is finally starting to get excited and believe its coming. It is fun that he, and even Adalie, can feel the baby in there now. Our little Cason is quite the mover and shaker in there. A lot more than Adalie ever was. I don't think he ever sleeps, which means I am entering the insomnia part of the pregnancy. I am getting really excited at the thought of Adalie being a big sister. She seems to know whats going on and answers all the basic questions about the baby. What's his name? Its gunna be Cason Brett When is he coming? In February What are you going to do with the new baby? Hug him and feed him and help mommy. She tells other people I am going to have a baby all the time. I hope the transition goes well. She doesn't like change that much and this is going to be a big one.

Let me Explain

I know, I know I put up a Christmas Blog Background....I am just so excited this year!! I want to get as much of it in as possible. I put up maybe one Christmas decoration a day. Today it was a red table cloth with a snowman place mat. Yesterday it was stickers on the window and the day before, Christmas lights around my floor lamp. DON"T worry I didn't forget about Thanksgiving. I am WAY excited about that too. Next week is going to be SO great in Colorado with Brett's family. That Saturday we are even going to have a "mini pre-Christmas" since none of us will be able to make it there for Christmas this year. I say it all the time but I love the holidays. I even have all of my Christmas shopping done. Except one more present for Brett of which I have no idea what it is going to be. He is a hard one to surprise and I would really like to do that this year... Any who Happy Holidays Again and Again!!

Ps. Brett is finally home....it feels great.
