Adri & Taylor's Birthday Party!


Adri looked so cute in her new birthday skirt for church yesterday!  She even got a turquoise Choose the Right ring that glows in the dark.

I saw this hair -do on one of the hair blogs I follow and LOVED it!  So cute for Valentine's Day.


After church Tori and Jake made this cute sign for the party.  Taylor and Adri both celebrate their birthday's on February 16th.  Adri turns 10 and Taylor turns 3.  This year Adri begged to celebrate together.  When Taylor arrived they were both pretty hyper and had to run off some steam with our dog Jasper. 


The cute birthday girls!

Admiring their cake Taylor's mom brought.  Thanks Lisa!

Opening gifts!

Adri ONLY wanted an iPod for her birthday.  Her dad spoiled her with an iPod Touch!  She was very excited and stayed up WAY too late last night playing games and figuring everything out.

Blowing out the candles!

Celebrating Grandpa and Adri!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday.  Part of a tradition that the grandkids have grown to love is sending balloons up to heaven for grandpa.  He would have been 64 if I'm doing my math right.  We sure miss him and the great man that he was!

After we went to the cemetery we went back to Grandma Sorensen's house and ate some yummy dinner and had FHE.  Amber and Kevin's family did a great job teaching us about love and how we need to say the words I LOVE YOU to our families on a daily basis.

And then came the part that Adri had been waiting for!  An early birthday party with her Sorensen cousins.  Adri's b-day isn't until the 16th, but she got to celebrate last night and she'll celebrate again next Sunday with her cousin Taylor.  They were both born on February 16th.  Adri will be 10 and Taylor will be 3.  Adri had a ball last night and got lots of fun gifts!

I cropped myself out of this picture, but somehow shrunk the picture.  OOPS!  I'm so not good with computers!

Here's Adri with her birthday goods!  Thanks everyone, she loves her stuff!  I'm very proud to say that I made her a skirt with matching necklace and hair flower almost all by myself.  Grandma had to babysit a little.  Adri seems very pleased!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!

Okay, there weren't really lions at the circus, but there were elephants!
Here's Adri, Izzy and Scout riding the elephant!  Izzy's at the front and she said she got earwax on her shoe.  Yum!
Justus, Adri, Tori, Izzy & Scout

The ferocious tigers!  

The pictures are really dark - but this is one of the bears.  He was very tricky!  He rode a rocking horse, pushed a stroller and in this picture he's rolling on a wheel thingy.

Adri didn't want to take time for a picture.  Thus, the annoyed face.

Justus enjoyed the circus and would like to run away and join it someday.

Tori has a fake smile here, but she really enjoyed herself.  Scout did too!

Izzy, Grandma and Grey.  Thanks for taking us Grandma!

This was every one's favorite act.  We're not sure if he was faking or not - you know to get us ooooing and aaaaahing - but he almost fell of this thing 3 times!

Out of the Box - Hostess Set

I've wanted to use this Out of the Box hostess set for awhile now.  LOVE it!  The paper is once again from the Sweet Pea pack.  I know a lot of the papers are meant for scrapbooking, but you can make it work for cards too.  I thought it was so cute to fold over the pattern paper so it shows the pattern from the other side.  And then using the Scallop Trim punch it just finished it right off.
