Busy Week

I had a big work event on Tuesday of this week so Kai got to hang out at his buddy Andrew's house (that is where he goes the one morning a week I work), get picked up by Daddy and put down for his afternoon nap )so Daddy could work from home for a few hours), and then taken to Grandma and Grandpa's so Daddy could attend the event with Mom. Needless to say he had a blast.

The following day he and I were feeling rather tuckered out. After a solid 3 hour nap I woke him up and brought him up to the couch. I went in to the kitchen for a minute and when I came back this is how I found him. Talk about a sleepy head. :)

Prayer Sheriff

Mommy (during prayer): "Fold your arms."

Kai: "Close your eyes."

Kai is the Proud Owner of his first ...

Passport

One of my proudest achievements

We drove home tonight from Costco along 2100 South from 300 West to 2500 East and hit all green lights. We cheered through the last 4 or so. Kai thinks I'm the coolest.

Happy Easter 2008!

Decorating Easter Eggs with Daddy last night:




On the Hunt:






The Big Find:











Many thanks to Beckham and Hudson for tipping off the Easter Bunny about the scooter. We hear that B &H have upgraded now to to bigger kid ones, but we don't have big kids around us to figure that out from yet. Kai is already the envy of many of the kids in the neighborhood- these haven't hit it big here yet with the 2+ year olds due to the fact that we are just getting to play outside again. Kai would also like B & H to know that he is still carrying around the mail they sent him a few weeks back. It is so exciting to get mail!!! The scooter was the ultimate incentive for Kai- he has been talking about it for weeks now. We're not sure this scooter really calls for a helmet, but Kai has been asking for one since last summer (see some previous posts) so it seemed like a good enough fit. Kai has always been a safety first kind of a kid. :)

Happy Easter to All!

*We also want to point out to anyone interested that we have put up a poll on the side of our blog where you can take a guess at whether we will be adding a boy or girl to our family.

Helping Spring Along!

Is it Spring Yet?

This weekend we had a snow storm again. It was beautiful, but we had had a few nice days the week before that made it less appealing at this time of year. Needless to say we are all feeling ready for some warmer days so we can enjoy some outside time. Since it is only March we still might have a few more storms to go though. Here is a picture of Kai today which I feel like further illustrates this desire.

In other news we had a fun time at the FLYNN (Lance's grandparents) family St. Patrick's Day party last night. Kai's favorite color these days is green (green spoon, green bowl, green cup please) so he has been appreciating all the green.

I'd also like to say congrats to one of my best friends Rebecca and her husband Joe on the arrival of their first baby on Friday. Charlotte was due in April so she made a slightly early arrival. We are so excited for this new little family.



Congrats also to the Mullins who just found out that they will be welcoming another little girl to their family come July. Kirsten and I are once again expecting about 3 weeks apart in July and August. These cousins around the same age sure are fun.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Weekend Wrap-up

We headed to Provo this weekend to watch Pepperdine play BYU in Volleyball. On Friday night we made the trip with Lance's parents and on Saturday night our friends Wes and Amy joined us. We had a great time both nights despite the fact that Pepperdine lost. Kai loves adventures with his grandparents. He also thinks Wes and Amy are so much fun. He pointed out that Wes has a beard just like Jesus. :) One of Lance's friends and teammates (Scott W.) is now an assistant coach so it was fun to get to visit with him as well. He also hooked all of us up with tickets for both nights which was great. Another neat fact was one of the current players on the team has a brother with Angelman Syndrome. Now that is really a small world.



One of the things that assisted Kai is the drives back and forth from Provo was his new "ipod". "Just like Daddy" he keeps saying. It has been a good under $5 purchase for us because the ear phones are small enough for his head and also work in our portable DVD player for the car which we use for longer trips.



And lastly on Sunday night Lance and I were making dinner in our little kitchen and I realized that Kai had joined us. I guess he just wanted to be a part of it all. So far he still seems to be mostly using his left hand for coloring, throwing etc. It will be interesting to see if that sticks. Lance and I are both right handed so....

Sunday Night at the Sorensons

Daddy on phone.



Daddy hangs up.



Kai: "Who was that, daddy?"



Daddy: "Multiple Sclerosis."



Kai: "Huh?"



Daddy: "Multiple Sclerosis ... Can you say Multiple Sclerosis?"



Kai: "Mupitle Spleroso."



Daddy: "Good."



[pause]



Kai: "What did he want?"



Daddy: "Money."



Kai: "Oh."



Mommy has sprite in nose from laughing.
