Life 365: Week 5

Monday, January 25, 2010


Joey is going to have to work late tomorrow, so we decided to celebrate JJ's birthday tonight. Joey came home early and we surprised JJ by taking our family to Chuck E Cheese. JJ was so excited to be able to have his favorite food - pizza - and play games! We had a great time together as a family. We came home and JJ got to open his presents - some new scriptures with his name on them, some Transformer toys, and a Spiderman watch.

Happy Birthday to JJ! I can't believe he is already 8 years old. I made some brownies and he was so excited to take them to share with his class today at school. He came home very happy. While he was at school, Beth and I made his cake and he loved it! Tonight he got to blow his candles out and we ate cake and ice cream for dessert. He also opened some gifts from Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen tonight - he got some markers and Spiderman coloring pages and some sweat pants. He was so excited to be able to have THREE birthday parties this year!

Ever since we had kids, Joey has been mentioning a tradition he wanted to start with the kids. This year, he finally implemented it and it is truly one of the sweetest things ever. He took JJ out on Monday to buy ME (the mom) a present for JJ's birthday. JJ got to pick out a present for me as a thank you for giving birth and all the things I do as a mom. Isn't that just so sweet? So JJ got me a book and this adorable Willow Tree Figurine - I think it is just so perfect!

Beth can just be so adorable sometimes. I was doing some cleaning and trying to be motivated not to just play Facebook all day (since I still don't have my computer back) and I came into the kitchen and she had taken 2 chairs and made herself a little bed. She's just too cute!

We introduced the Wii Sports: Tennis game to our kids this week and I love how much fun they are having! Beth loves to dress up in one of her princess gowns to play and JJ had to get on the action and he got into his Spiderman costume! They are just so cute!

Joey was very good to me today and got my favorite Olive Garden take-out for dinner! It was nice not to have to cook and just sit around and be lazy!

Since I still wasn't in the mood to cook - Joey was very nice and made pork chops and hashbrowns for dinner. It was really fun to see him in the kitchen and the food was great - good job honey!
