Halloween/Dillan's First Hair cut

This year's Halloween season was so much fun! Even though i had to work on Halloween it was all good! I helped the husband decorate his cubicle for a decorating contest and he won!! I'm sad though that we didn't get pictures. We always have next year =] Anywho this year little Aiden was Peter Pan and Dillan a Pirate(who looked like Shmee by the way). I had wanted our whole family to match this year since i was sort of undecided on what the kids should be and Aiden doesn't really have a favorite anything we thought the cheap but cute costumes would do! I didn't dress up this year, i know sad, but next year our whole family is going to match...hopefully. We already bought Aiden's costume for next year and we got a smokin' deal 70% off at target...i suggest you go! Aiden's costume came with all of Peter Pan's swag...and i must say even though i am a fan of the color green it was absolutely too much green! So i told my mom to keep an eye out for some brown pants and lo and behold she found some!! Leave it to her to find anything! So it made my little Pan less green and more adorable! We also did all the Halloween traditions too, the pumpkin carving, pumpkin patch visiting, Disneyland and such. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

We broke the rules for this picture but shhh don't tell anybody =]

***********************************

As we were trick or treating on Halloween night 4 people had called my little Dillan a girl and the husband had it. It was time to cut his precious locks(super sad face). I didn't like it one bit but i also promised Cody that he could cut his hair after Halloween. I never thought i would get so attached to his adorable hair. So here are the before and afters. I must admit i did tear up while it was getting cut...Cody did promise me that we wont need to cut his hair until his next birthday...and i am going to hold him to it!

He is still a cute little boy though. And i am still complaining about not liking his hair but well see how it grows on me.

Until next time =]

Quick Update

I have been gone from blog world for a little bit but i am gradually getting into a groove to where i will have some time for myself!!What!? Anyways here is what has been going on in our lives!! Cody and i have been working at the same place for almost 2 months now. I like it. Pay is better than what we had and i get to talk to people my age which helps me to keep my sanity. I only work 3 days a week which helps me keep my sanity as well...if that doesn't make sense then i think i may be loosing my sanity! So with all this working my children have of course been acting out a tad bit. Aiden more than Dillan, although he does love seeing Bama and Papa every now and then, he isn't used to me being gone all the time, which feels like alot lately. But thankfully we will be moving to a new building and hopefully be having no more overtime soon. Other than that my boys have been doing good. Aiden has been such a crack up lately. Thursday morning while Cody was getting ready for work(i have Tuesdays and Thursdays off) he decided it was time for Aiden's million questions hour. Here is how it went

Aiden:Are you going to take a shower?

Cody: Yes i am.

Aiden: Are you going to work?

Cody:Yes i am.

Aiden: Are you going to get an umbrella for my Christmas?

Cody: What?

I just couldn't lay there quiet anymore i was laughing. For some reason Aiden has a massive obsession with umbrellas. So lately he has been asking for one and he says it exactly how it is worded above. We went to payless today to get him a new pair of shoes and he of course spotted the buzz lightyear children's umbrella and refused to put it back. Since i am sick and he behaved pretty awesomely all day i decided it wasn't worth it to drag a screaming 3 year old out of payless and across the parking lot with just his shoes. He has had it open in our house all day long(I'm not one for superstitions) and even took a little nap on the floor under it, i must admit it was pretty cute.

Dillan's favorite song is patty cake, and he also brings some comic relief into our lives. I think he is the funniest kid alive sometimes. He also loves dancing...to any toy that makes music. He climbs on our coffee table, couches, chairs, anything taller than him you name it! He even surprised me yesterday and got up onto our bed(which is pretty tall by the way).

I have been doing pretty well. Eating right has led me to lose 3 pounds which i am so proud of myself! I would like to get to my pre Aiden weight but i know that most likely wont happen, but it would be nice to lose another 5!

We traded in our 2005 Toyota Corolla and bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. We were planning on buying 2 cars since i only work 3 days a week and Cody works 5 but that didn't happen. So we will wait patiently for our 2ND car and hopefully buying it will be easy since we know what we want.

We plan on going on our "honeymoon" next October. We plan to go to Hawaii but need to price things out first. Hopefully we can get a good deal. It would be nice to go on a week vacation with out our kids instead of just 1 night at a time.

So that has been pretty much our crazy life for the past 2 months. I promise to post pictures next time...hopefully soon!! I just found our camera battery charger and i plan on taking pictures of our family soon!! Until next time =]

Last Day of Freedom!

For me that is. I start my brand spanking new job tomorrow, for those of you that didn't know. We had been suffering a tad bit in the money department, but now me and Cody will be working, in the same place no less. I'm pretty darn excited about it but we shall see how things go. In other news my hair is getting longer, i started cloth diapering, Dillan is climbing on the furniture now, and Aiden has become a happy go lucky little boy that likes to say hi to strangers. Other than that nothing new! Here are some pictures of my cute kids!My children don't really cooperate when it comes to taking pictures together.

Fun fact for you! I have taken up Geocaching! If you don't know what the heck that is go look it up! I'm registered on www.geocaching.com with the user name of sorensonfam add us and join us on a journey!! I haven't found one yet but plan to this weekend!!

Aiden is 3!!

Going through Aiden's pictures really takes me back in time! I can remember when every one of these pictures were taken. It makes me sad to think my first child isn't a baby anymore but is growing into a little boy. Lets take a trip down memory lane =]

After i got my epidural. I was a happy camper =]

He was born just before 6 in the morning. 8 lbs 2 oz. This was after his first bath.

One of our first family pictures.

Cody stayed at the hospital the whole time with me. Staying up at night to feed our STARVING child...seriously he was up almost every hour.

Good friends stopped by to visit. You can see how long this little boy was!

And here he is, the birthday boy. He may be crazy at times but i love him with all my heart =]
My birthday was somewhere in between the boys. I will post on that later.
Until next time.

Infinity Scarf

Please don't ask me why i did this in the middle of summer. But at least you will be fall/winter ready!! You can make this scarf for free!! Seriously i love free stuff, so bust out your old Walmart shirts that you don't like after they were washed twice...or just don't like in general =]. All you will need for this project is a shirt and some shears! If you absolutely love every single shirt in your closet then find your closest DI or Goodwill and buy some 1 Dollar shirts!!

Both of these shirts are from Wally world and since the striped one is 3/4 sleeves and it is hot...well you get the idea.

You are going to want to cut 1 inch strips across the belly of your shirt. I got 14 out of mine. You are also going to need strips(for tying) for every one of your long strips...confusing i know but you will see below.

This is what your 1 inch strip across the belly will look like.

Make a figure 8...

and fold over. Do this twice.

2nd figure 8

Now you have rings that are folded to have 4 rings =]

This is where you will tie your rings together. Remember the extra strips i mentioned above? I used the sleeves of my shirt since they were smaller in size. DOUBLE KNOT THEM!! Don't tie them like i did in this picture...deceiving i know =] Tie all of your rings together so that it is an infinite ring of rings!!

And now you have yourself a cute scarf...hippie chic style!
Until next time =]

Fisher Kids Photoshoot

I took some adorable pictures of some adorable little people the other day. Other than trying really hard for both of them to smile at once, it went pretty smoothly. This was a fun photo shoot that consisted of weeds, stealing a chair, and popsicles! Go ahead and take a gander =]

These are just a few of my favorites. My friend had asked me after i did these if i was going to start doing it regularly. I think i may try it out for a little while seeing as this "awesome economy" isn't letting up. I will be building my portfolio so stay tuned for more cute photo shoots! Until next time! =]

Dillan is 1!!

I year ago to today i was in labor at Redlands Community Hospital. This pregnancy was a tiny bit tougher than my first with early braxton hicks that i had to get meds for and i was diagnosed with group b strep. But at 3:15 pm June 5th Dillan finally blessed us with his presence. He was over 1 lb smaller than my first(thank goodness!) and the meant no episiotomy (YAY!). His first year of life has flown by so quickly i wish it didn't. I remember every milestone that he hit like it was yesterday.

Dillan you have been such a joy in our family so far i cant wait to see what you bring next! You are the most funniest kid i have met and i just love you to pieces! Happy Birthday my Dilly Bean =]

From this tiny little newborn...

To this adorable little boy =]
