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!

Life 365 | Week 1

Beth has really been enjoying her new dress-up dresses and its the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning. Right now her favorite is her snow white dress. She discovered that if she stands by the heater her dress flares up and she gets the whole big dress effect – so much fun!

We got a light snow fall today and it was just nice to sit inside watching movies, reading and playing on the computer and Wii. The kids are still enjoying all their new toys and we even had a nap!

Today was a fun day. We woke up to a lot more snow and we just had to go play in it. The kids got to wear their new coats and boots and we went into our little yard and built our “Frosty”, threw a few snow balls, and made snow angels.

I loved these photos of my kids from yesterday’s snow play. Love it when my kids are so happy. We didn’t do anything today. Joey ended up working from home today and I got to sleep in. It was so nice. We just played on computers, played a little Wii, the kids played with their new toys, and we had a nice Spaghetti and Meatballs Dinner. Joey and I stayed up until after midnight – bringing in the new year with The Lord in the Rings.

We spent a lot of the day playing Wii with the kids and Joey went to Salt Lake City to do his podcast and spend some time with Pete. Just a low-key day at home for me and the kids.

Here are some of my goals for this year:
Family Goals: Family Home Evening Lessons/activities every Monday, Scriptures/Prayers every day, bring back chores, and Continue our Movie Nights on Sundays

Couple Goals: Have more time together as just us – a date at least once a month, attend the temple once a month

Personal Goals: Lose some weight – just take better care of myself, streamline my design/blog process so that I am being more efficient, and organizing my household tasks/schedule so that I’m accomplishing everything that I should during the week.

Another low-key day with just playing and relaxing. We did go out for dinner at IHOP and spent some more time as a family playing the Wii.

Joey and I have spent a lot of time this week trying to complete our end-of-the-year tradition of watching all of The Lord of the Rings. We didn’t quite make it and we are still on the Return of the King, but I have really enjoyed the time with Joey watching one of our favorite movies of all time. The kids watched a little bit with us tonight but its still a bit too scary for them and a lot that they don’t understand, so we have been watching it after they go to bed. I can’t wait until they’ve grown up more and they can get in on our tradition!

Today’s funny Beth comment:
We were watching Return of the King and explaining a bit about the movie. I told Beth that Gandalf’s horse was named Shadowfax and she simply stated, “Wow…cool name!“

Project 365 | Week 26

Monday, June 22, 2009

What a crazy week! I have a kit that I am working on that just never seems to be done no matter how long I spend on it. I’m trying so hard to finish it by next Monday and it is taking me every minute I have. I think I’m in for a lot of late nights this week!

I went outside to check on the kids this afternoon and I found them in the midst of a new game. Beth gets in the wagon (tipped sideways) and JJ runs around in a circle spinning her – They were both laughing so hard and having such a great time that I just didn’t have the heart to stop them – even though it is not the safest of activities!

Our summer schedule is CRAZY! We are up earlier than when the kids were in school and with me staying up longer to finish some design work – I am really hating the early mornings. But JJ’s summer school is just earlier so we have been doing it. I went in the kids room today because they were playing and I hadn’t heard a peep from them and here they were just completely zonked out. I think the early mornings are getting to them too – they hardly ever take naps!

The kids have a new way to eat their Spaghetti. Last night they thought it was so funny that I took my garlic bread and put spaghetti in it. Tonight when we had Spaghetti for leftovers, they just had to try it too. The “Spaghetti Sandwiches” are a hit!

Thursday, June 25, 2009

This dinner is one of the best rated in my kids’ opinion. While some nights it is a struggle to get the kids to eat – whenever I make this the kids go back for 3-4 servings! Deli Ham Slices on the bottom, Creamy Mashed potatoes topped with Cheese – baked in the oven for 20 minutes! EASY AND YUMMY!

Friday, June 26, 2009

The kids goofed around all day. JJ got out his LeapYear Alphabet and played that all day with Beth spinning in one of her dress-up gowns!

We were able to attend a BBQ at a friend’s house tonight. Their backyard was right by the West Valley Fair going on and we visited and had great food. We had also had AMAZING views of a gorgeous sunset and the fireworks!

We carried on our Sunday tradition of watching a movie together. The kids snuggled with their Unicorn/Horses and we watched THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER!
