They're BAAAACK! part 1

Steve and Joann left last August to go on a mission to Nauvoo, IL. They kept busy and did a great job! They came back on August 13th. Before we got rid of Lucy we were planning on flying up there on the 16th, but because we didn't have to worry about having somebody dogsit Brigham and I flew up on the 8th to spend the week with Rebecca and her family, and also surprise Steve and Joann.
Brigham had an absolute blast being with all his cousins! I think they loved him too :) He wanted to do everything all the big kids were doing...including jumping off the diving board!!
When everyone went to the airport to pick them up Mikey, Brigham and I stayed at the house to surprise them there. It was awesome! The most awesome experience though was when Heidi (their 12 yr old dog) saw Joann for the first time. She had been very sick and not eating for about 3 days before they got home. She was slow and moping around the house, until she saw Joann...she lit up! It was awesome!! Sadly, a few days later they decided to put Heidi down. She had lived a very long life and it was tough to see her in so much pain and not herself. It was a sad day for all of us, even me (she never really liked me :))
We all rented a house down in Seaside, OR and spent a couple nights there. It was AMAZING!!! about 80 ft from the beach and just gorgeous! The sand was perfect and so was the weather. Of course Brigham does not like the feel of sand but he did ok.
We decided to stay a few days longer so we could spend some one on one time with Mikey's parents, so glad we did! It was a great trip and Brigham sure misses the constant entertainment! OOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOO :)



WARNING: picture overload! When you get 4 Sorensen families together it spells big trouble!! All of us each have our own camera and take pictures EVERYWHERE!! and of EVERYTHING!!! So these are just a small taste of what I have, these are all from Rebecca's camera and there are still more to come! They are totally out of order but oh well!


Daddy and Brig at the aquarium

GROSS

Throwing fish to the seals





He's as big as Mady!!

All the cousins


Yummy food

He sure loves his grandpa! He was usually the first person he would ask for in the morning










SOOOO CUTE!!


One of my favorites!





This was when she realized we were there!





Yummy!

Mikey and Rachel





Cool dude







First day swimming in the pool, I thought I had a video of him going off the diving board but I dont...I'll have to get one from someone else


These next 2 videos are hilarious! He was a dancing fool the other night and got a ton of videos of him jamming out!






Goodbye Lucy

So we decided to get rid of Lucy about a month ago, luckily Mikey's brother and his family were looking to get another dog. We shipped her out to them in Pittsburgh, and they absolutely love her! It was tough saying bye to her, but it's the best thing for our family.














Utah trip July 2011

It has been a LONG time since I last posted, we have been extremely busy too!
The beginning of July I decided to take Brigham with me up to Utah to visit my family. We stopped in St. George and split up the drive. All I can say is thank heaven for DVD players in cars!! Best invention EVER!! Brigham did fantastic! He also discovered that he loves hotel rooms! Just like mama, everything was at his level, the microwave, fridge, TV, A/C...he loved it! He kept putting his water cup in the microwave and then taking it out and doing it over and over. We went to the St. George temple (it's one of my favorites) and walked around, he had a blast looking at all the beautiful flowers and climbing up the huge steps in the front. The first part of the trip we stayed with my mom, it had been almost 10 months since they have seen Brigham so it was a huge shocker to them how big he has gotten. He loved looking for the kitties and has no fear when it comes to the crazy cat! She would swipe at him and hiss and it didn't bother him at all. He also loves his cousins! Especially all their toys :) They have so many cars, and balls and just plain BOY toys! Any time we were outside he would grab any type of ball and run to the basketball hoop yelling "dunk, dunk". We ended up going to the zoo with my mom, Tiffany and her kids. It was soooo fun! I hadn't been to the Hogle Zoo in years and it was awesome! We saw all the animals and even rode the "choo choo".
The last part of the trip I spent at my dads apartment in SLC. We went swimming right when we got there and Brigham wanted nothing to do with it! He was literally shaking. So instead he and grandpa played basketball. He would run down the court and every time he would pass me would give me a high five. We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner and Brigham had 3 pieces of pizza!!! Thats my boy! The next day Tiffany brought the kids to swim and we finally got Brigham in, grandpa had to basically drag him in but we did it. Then we headed back down to St. George and finally home.
We had a great time!


Here's grandpa and Brig splashing Tanner


He stood still long enough for me to get a picture! WOW!!



Sweet Paisley giving him a ride on her bike



All the kids


Cute little cousins

Haircuts

Brigham and I both got haircuts within the last couple weeks. Brigham was looking more and more like a girl/orphan, so we decided to kind of buzz it.



This is my new haircut, I cut off a ton of hair! But I was ready for the change, I only have a picture of the back and it was way messy! Thanks to the wonderful Prescott Valley constant wind! Don't know why I even do my hair anymore!


Back of Brigham's hair, he also likes to carry my purse around :) Should I be worrried?

Front




Here he is saying "cheese" with food in his mouth :) He looks so much older with his short hair, but I absolutely love it!!
