Summer days...and more.
This Summer has been so fun! Maddie had her first dance recital at Syracuse High School. She was so excited to be able to wear makeup and be on stage. She did a number for dance and also tumbling. It was great to see how excited she was. We have been playing lots.. well when the weather has allowed it. The girls love to play in the water outside. Maddie is counting down the days until she turns 4. We are excited because this next week Ryan is taking a week off to do fun summer things.. so on our list is... camping, fishing, cherry hill, the zoo, lagoon and end it with maddies birthdya party. more pics to come!

Spring is here!
This year has been going way too fast. Here are some pictures of what the girls have been up to lately
We have been having tons of fun workng on projects around our house too. We are finishing our basement and working on our yard. It will be so nice to mark those of our lists! Oh and we also bought a new car. I said good bye to my VW... I was super sad but I love my new car. We bought a 2010 chevy Traverse. It is sooo nice to have the extra room! Well until next time...

2010
Warning Really long post with way too many pictures!
2010as been such an eventful year. Many changes came our way. In January we blessed our sweet little Hallie. Ryan was able to give her a beautiful blessing. It was a great day spent with family. Hallie was also diaganosed with Tortacollis plagiocephaly.. I know I just spelled that wrong. We started physical therapy and visits to the chiropractor right away. She progressed pretty fast and was pretty much better about 6 months down the road.
Then we had Easter. Maddie loved dying the eggs and was in heaven with her easter basket and having an Easter egg hunt!
Then Auntie Brookie graduated form college. My grandparents were able to come visit and celebrate.
June was a busy month for us. Ryan passed all of his tests for Les schwab and finished all of the classes needed so that meant he started interviewing for positions. We went on a long but quick road trip for interviews. We drove all the way up to northern Washington clear down to Southern Oregon and across Nevada. It was super fun. Thankfully Ryans mom stayed home with the girls. We then went on our usual family vacation to Washington. It was so much fun. We even had a birthday party for Maddie while we were there. Ryan had to leave early for an interview but it was super fun!
Then came July. July was filled with bbq's, swimming, bubbles, side walk chalk, parks, and all the summer festivities!
Also In July Ryan recieved the promotion we had been waiting for! Yay and the best part about it is we got to stay in state! It is in South Ogden. So we decided to buy a house in the area.. so we moved from Alpine to my parents basement where we lived for all of August and part of September. We found the perfect house for us in Hooper. which is like 20 mins. West of South Ogden! RY loves his job and we love where we live.
We had lots of help to make the move which was awesome! Its been fun finding my way around and not knowing anyone.. and trying to meet people. Its been a really good thing for us! Maddie started preschool shortly after moving and tumbling. She is doing great in both and she loves it so much!
October came and went and we had so much fun with fall things. We went to a pumpkin patch in Syracuse, decorated a haunted ginger bread house, carved pumpkins, and had partys galore. Maddie and Hallie were witches.. they were so cute. They both loved trick or treating!
November was filled with birthday fun! First was Hallie's big celebration for her first birthday. It was tons of fun! Then it was Ryan's birthday. My mom kept the kids and we went and stayed in Salt Lake. It was a nice little get away! Then It was mt mom's birthday. We went to Heber and suprised her. It was so fun. Then came Thanksgiving. It was a fun family filled day but I forgot to take pictures! oops!
December is always a fun month! so much fun stuff to do and so much anticipation for the big day! Maddie's preschool class went to Christmas Village in down town Ogden. She got to have a tour by Mrs. Clause. It sure was cold but she loved it! Then we did the normal Christmas things like decorate the house.. put up the tree, decorate a ginger bread house, listen to Christmas music, go to holiday parties, and of course visit with Santa. This year my parents had a Christmas party and Santa himself came knocking at the door. Maddie went and opened the door. She was excited but didn't know what to do. I put Hallie on his lap first which was a big mistake because she freaked out and was crying so hard. Well that freaked Maddie out so she would only talk to him if I was right there. It was pretty funny. THen on Christmas Eve we went and did our Annual Sorenson fondue party. It was delicious and so fun! We sang Christmas carols, reinacted the Christmas story, and opened presents. We were all spoiled and had so much fun! Christmas day we stayed home and did Christmas at our own house. My family came down and we had a yummy breakfast, then did presents where we were spoiled again, and then had a day full of playing with toys and eating yummy food.
It has been a fun exciting year! I can't wait to see what is in store for 2011. Hope its good!
