Project 365: Week 17

Monday, April 20, 2009



The kids have really enjoyed the "Spring Days." They have been playing outside in the yard together and they get so worn out. They sleep much better and they are happier too, so it has been really great!

Tuesday, April 21, 2009



The kids played at the park for awhile today. They just had to wear their cool sunglasses and they were too cute!


Wednesday, April 22, 2009



On our way to the mail today, Beth picked up a tree branch filled with beautiful blossoms. She was so delighted about it and kept it with her all day!


Thursday, April 23, 2009



It was Bring Your Daughter to Work Day at Joey's work so Beth got to go with her Daddy today. They had a great program for them with Breakfast, Lunch, and fun activities. They had a passport to go to different rooms that represented different countries and had fun learning activities at each of them.

Joey had to go to meetings in Salt Lake City today so after JJ's school we headed up there to watch Joey play racquetball and go to Mings for Dinner. We got to visit with Sabrina, Brandon, and Pete and that is always so much fun!


Saturday, April 25, 2009



Joey stayed overnight at Pete's last night and then went to the Salt Lake Temple this morning. We picked him up at the Trax Station and went to lunch. We spent the rest of the rainy day at home. I picked up some Strawberries yesterday and made yummy Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. I whipped up homemade cream for the first time and it tasted really good! The whole family loved it!


Sunday, April 26, 2009



The kids were sick today, so we didn't get to go to church. We watched some movies, played, worked on our computers, and just spent the whole day in the house. We ended the day with our new Sunday tradition - Chocolate Pudding!

Project 365: Week 16

Monday, April 13, 2009



We celebrated Beth's Birthday today. I can't believe it has really been 4 years since she was born. Cody and Becki came over for dinner and the party and I'm so glad that they live here and could come and celebrate with us. We had Beth's favorite meal, Beef Ravoli with Red Sauce. And then Beth got to open her presents. She got some Princess Flip-flops and sunglasses from Cody and Becki and a My Little Pony house with mini ponies & Disney Princess Dress-up Dolls from Joey and I. Becki's sister Ashley, made Beth a darling My Little Pony Cake, which she just loved. Happy Birthday Beth!


Tuesday, April 14, 2009



Beth got one more day to shine. Her teacher crowned her the Birthday Princess for the day at school and of course that just made her so excited. She wore her crown all day!


Wednesday, April 15, 2009



I can't believe how much snow we got and in April! Crazy weather! Joey made this cute little snowman on the roof of our van. The kids thought it was the best thing ever! Of course the snow didn't last too long, it was pretty much gone by the end of the day.


Thursday, April 16, 2009



Since it was JJ's spring break this week, I decided that we should do something fun. So I took the kids to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. The kids really loved seeing all the dinosaur (and other ancient life) bones and they were able to "dig" for bones in the digging quarry and they were able to participate in the Junior Lab creating fossil molds and uncovering fossil fish with air scribes. Plus we were able to see a 3D movie on their Mammoth Screen! It was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Later on, we were able to do a little shopping, including using Beth's Birthday money to buy a new stuffed horse, complete with a purse. Thank you Grandpa & Grandma Sorensen!

Joey spends a lot of time listening to audiobooks on his iPod. One morning , he left his old iPod nano laying on the kitchen table, and JJ picked up. Confusing it for the normal, larger iPod, he assumed that it must look so much smaller because he had become a giant, and ran to his Dad, laughing and exclaiming "Dad, Dad, look! I GREW!"


Saturday, April 18, 2009



We spent a lot of time playing outside today. Really great weather! JJ has been really having a hard time lately. We are hoping it's just a stage, but he has been having episodes of really bad behavior, hurting his sister, talking back, potty accidents, and just throwing fits. We have been trying lots of things to try and help him get control of himself. Joey thought that maybe running around would help him a bit since he is always so busy. So Joey took 4 pieces of wood and put them on our lawn and had the kids run "ladders." We started timing them and they had a blast. Now they have to run a ladder everytime they want to spend some time playing outside or when they need to calm down. So far it seems to be working! Beth also got to play some soccer with her Dad for awhile. She loves kicking the ball around - I know absolutely nothing about soccer, so we will probably have to find her a team to play on in a couple of years.


Sunday, April 19, 2009



Sunday nights are when Joey puts his podcast together. They record on Fridays and then the previous recording gets edited on Sundays and so by Monday mornings the podcast is released. I am glad that Joey is able to do something he really enjoys!

Project 365: Week 15

Monday, April 6, 2009



Beth is such a character! Her sense of humor mirrors her daddy's and Joey gets such a kick out of that. She says the funniest things all the time and I need to capture more of these little fun moments.

Joey has never really eaten breakfast - even as a child. As he's gotten older, it has actually gotten to the point where if he eats too soon after waking up, it makes him nauseous. This morning, Beth was sitting at the kid's table eating a bowl of cereal, while Joey sat nearby working on his laptop.

"Daddy," Beth said, "you forgot to eat some breakfast."

"I didn't forget, pumpernickel. Daddy just doesn't eat breakfast."

"Why not?" she asked.

"Well, I've just never been very good at it."

"It's EASY, Daddy - you just do like this!" Beth explained, moving the spoon from her bowl to her mouth several times.

I had the opportunity to attend a Relief Society fireside tonight and I am so glad that I went. David Osmond spoke to us about his life and about how the Savior and the gospel has helped him through trials. He has a wonderful voice and sang several songs to us as well that just really filled me with the spirit. While I was gone, Joey and the kids went to the playground and also rode on their trike/scooter! They haven't been able to play outside much and the weather was finally perfect for it.


Wednesday, April 8, 2009



Could it possibly be Spring? After the snow and rain we have been getting it's kind of hard to think that maybe Spring is finally here. These are some beautiful flowers that are in my yard that seemed to just pop up out of nowhere!

We met with Beth's preschool teacher, Miss Megan today to hear her progress and I am so happy to report that Beth is excelling in her development. It was fun to hear from her teacher the little things she does at school and how well she gets along with her classmates. I thought it was really interesting that her teacher told me that Beth is the only girl that the boys in her class will play with. I think that is because Beth has a brother and they will play trucks and action heroes and stuff, so when she goes to school she is willing to play that with the boys too. But of course she still loves her dolls and dress-up!


Friday, April 10, 2009



While Joey was off playing racquetball and doing his podcast, the kids and I colored Easter Eggs. We did some glittery ones and some just colored ones, we applied stickers to some as well. The kids enjoyed seeing the egg go into the cup white and come out with color! I don't know what we are going to do with them now. Growing up, we always went somewhere to roll our Easter Eggs. We would make the most awesome trails with tunnels and ramps to send the eggs down. But I don't know where we would go to do that around here. So they will probably just end up going in the trash - oh well, at least we had fun!

What an amazing day! We got lots of great family time today. We went to lunch at a good burger place called Chadders and then we headed over to the Orem Library. We found some good books and were about to head to the checkout line when the fire alarm went off. Unfortunately we had to put our books down and head out of the building. The police, ambulance, and fire truck came and apparently there was some smoke. But we didn't see any fire. We were a little disappointed that we didn't get to get our books, but what can you do? Instead, we headed off to go see a matinee of Monsters & Aliens. It was a fun movie and I love being able to go to movies with my family. On our way home we went back to the library, but of course it was closed, so I guess we will have to get some books another day. We spent a nice night just playing and being together. I haven't had such a relaxing and impromptu day with my family in a long time.


Sunday, April 12, 2009



Happy Easter! It was also Bethie Girl's 4th Birthday today. We decided to just celebrate Easter and celebrate Beth tomorrow. The Easter bunny found us and gave the kids a Leapster 2 with some games and so after church the kids spent a lot of time together playing games. They also got to hunt Easter Eggs around the house. We also watched a movie on Jesus and tried to teach the kids what Easter is all about. The Easter bunny also brought us the movie, BOLT, so we watched that as a family too. A good day!
