Easter Again

I know I know!!! Three post about Easter!?!? You'd think that's all we do around here....But I promise this will be the last!Saturday we went to our Branch Easter eggs hunt and it was cold!! Brett stayed home with a sleeping Cason so Adalie and I drove a few blocks away to go and hunt for some eggs!! Despite the wind, mud, and the tornado siren going off (just a test I think but still a little split second scare) it was a lot of fun! I love just getting to hang out with the people in the Branch. It's fun to see people relax and have a little fun.

Adalie and one of her friends Ethan. She calls him her boyfriend. Although I am pretty sure she just means her friend that's a boy, but still cute.

Sunday the kids awoke to some Easter treats from the bunny. It was cold at 7 am here, so the Easter bunny just hid the eggs in our little 10x9 living room. Took about 2 mins total to find the 15 eggs he decided to hide. But the kids still had a great time with the surprise of it all! It was so fun to get to teach Adalie about Easter and the meaning of it all. I am sometimes overwhelmed with the task of trying to teach my kids the sometimes complicated answers to questions. But she got it. Pure and simple. Jesus has risen and He Lives!! What a great truth we know!!

Brett took the kids out this morning to teach Adalie how to golf with her new little golf set. So cute. These are the fun memories I always want to remember. Just playing with our sweet kids. So, put down the computer. Leave the dirty dishes and the laundry. Vacuum another day....and go play with your kids =)

Easter Best

Just some cute pictures of the kiddos in their Easter Best!! Happy Easter!

Sorensen Easter 2011

Yesterday we met Brett up at his school to take the kids to the DMU Easter party. It was a great way to start off our Easter fun for the year. There were a few little fun stations for Adalie to participate in....some egg dying and cotton ball bunny-making. Of course there was an Easter Egg Hunt too!! Adalie seemed to remember the drill from last year and Cason looked a little confused with it all. After he would put an egg in his basket, he would just take it out and put it back on the floor. He did however learn there was candy inside and started hoarding them all when we got home. Anywho, more Easter bloggin to come!!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!

Me, Myself, and I

Life now seems like it is moving along just fine. Brett's school semester is ending soon and I am amazed that this year seemed to fly by. Summer is fast approaching and we are getting way excited. I am feeling overwhelmed lately with all of the self improvement i need to do. seems like i need tons of it. physically, mentally, and spiritually. there are so many things i want to be, but mostly i just want to be better. a better wife. a better mother. a better friend. seems like every now and then i get a glimpse of the person i should be rather than what i actually am. so, here's to being a little better...Lets see if i can live up to the expectations and improve myself a little. everyone could use a little tune up now and then, and i am off key.

Thursdays Accomplishments

Its amazing how accomplished I feel just doing a few loads of laundry. I don't know where I managed to pull out the motivation to do so, but I already feel that the day was a success because I folded some clothes. Funny right? It is rainy and will be for the next week straight. Which means, I will have no reason to get out of my pj's and fix my hair haha. I should go and buy the kids some rain boots so they can play in the rain.....if it wasn't too cold and I wasn't scared that a tornado would whisk them away. It's that time of year again....a whole summer of freaking out about tornadoes. Brett isn't looking forward to the nights I will drag our children into our bedroom and huddle with them on the floor away from the windows. Ya, I do that. I have never been scared of thunderstorms....i LOVE thunderstorms, even lightening storms. But, a strange thing happened when I had kids, I got scared of everything!! Stupid stuff even, like falling off buildings and bridges collapsing. Plane rides with my family have become horrible because there is basically no chance of survival in those things if they go down.....Please tell me I am not the only one to do so. It's just the thought of keeping my children alive and safe from everything when I don't even know how to 100% keep myself alive and safe from everything freaks the heck out of me. Anywho, ending on a happier note--Cason has been asleep for 2 1/2 hours and it has been pretty awesome. At least the rain makes him sleep better, that's something nice about it. A lot of people say they like the smell of rain. I however do not. I think it smells like dead worms.
