Jos

A little update on the Jos Boss as we call her. She is so cute and has loves to give everyone kisses, especially her mama. Her current favorite activity is dancing around the living room as I sing "Five little ducks" over and over. She loves it and everytime I finish she says "again!" She also loves wrestling with Dad and being thrown in the air, but who doesn't love that, right? She also has learned how to ask for juice and milk and she will bring me her favorite cup whenever she wants some. Of course her favorite word is still No and she loves to run away from me when she is covered in chocolate, or whatever she is eating. She doesn't like her face cleaned, but she loves her bath. In fact she cries when it is time to get out and I have to bribe her using her favorite kitty towel. When she sees that thing she gets really excited and starts saying "meow, meow, meow" It has a hood with a cat face on it so she loves pretending to be a cat. She just keeps me laughing all day long, I love the little munchkin. Here are some cute pics.

These pictures are from the other night when we played music. She loves to beat the drums while Dad plays the recorder. I played with the shakey things whatever they are called, maracas? Anyway we had lots of fun.


These are her first pigtails. She didn't want her picture taken, she doesn't like it at all. I think it is so funny! Doesn't she look cute!

My little Chunk

Well Noah finally had his two month Dr. appt this morning. He is getting so big. 11pounds 8 oz. He is also 25.5 inches long!! The doctor was so impressed. He really couldn't believe how tall he has gotten, I guess the growth spurt explains the crazy appetite. He is still spoiled and doesn't like to not be held during the day, but he is sleeping through the night so I try not to complain. Its amazing what a good nights sleep does for a tired mommy! I am so lucky to have the cutest kids.

Thanksgiving part two

I know this post is a little late and you all have been on the edge of your seat wondering about part two of Thanksgiving, so here it is. We took of from California and headed for Justin's parents house in Fallon, NV. It was fun to see all the cousins and we even got a couple of cute pictures. We also were able to go to church with the family which is always fun. The kids love playing together and I hardly ever see Taylor and Ellie the whole time because they are so busy with the other kids. This makes it an easier ride home because they are always so exhausted. Anyway, the trip was great and I am glad we decided to go last minute. Justin and I got to spend time with both of our families, which is the most important thing. I wish everyone was closer and that we could do this more often.
Here are all the older cousins!


This is all of the Doren and Ellen Sorensen family, almost, we are missing Justin's next oldest brother Brandon and his wife Elizabeth.

This picture of Joslyn makes me laugh, she did not want to be in it, so she is walking away in a lot of them!

Crazy last minute trip aka: Thanksgiving part one

Well as some of you noticed, Justin and I didn't end up spending Thanksgiving alone like we thought we would. Wednesday afternoon I was feeling lonely and sad that we wouldn't be able to be with my family this year. Alot of family on my mom's side were getting together at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Grass Valley CA. Some of them I haven't seen in years and I was jealous not to be with them. I also wanted to go shopping with my mom and Aunt and Grandma on Black Friday. It is sort of a tradition that we have. So long story short on Wed around 3:00pm we decided to make the 10 hour drive, at 6pm we left and at 4am we arrived in CA!! It was a lot of fun and so good to see everyone. And the food was awesome. It just doesn't feel like Thanksgiving if there aren't 30 people around. My Aunt and Uncle were so nice and let us use their room to fit our whole family. I even got to see my cousins Josh, Nichole and Toni, who I only see every few years. And yes after a little drama, I did go shopping with my mom and aunt. We didn't make it to Target until the afternoon, but we still found some pretty good deals. The girls did great and Noah was spoiled and held the entire time. I hope we can get together more often! Here are some pictures.
This is Taylor and my cousin Toni's little girl Delany.





10 lbs 10 oz!!!!

Happy day for Noah, I took him to be weighed this morning and he was 10 lbs 10 oz! Almost two pounds heavier than last time. I guess all of that constant nursing and formula has finally paid off. I am so relieved that he is out of the 5Th percentile. We had to postpone his actual 2 month apt. until the 15Th, but I am sure the doctor will be just as excited as I am. He has been eating a ton and I thought he was bigger, now I know for sure! He has also started cooing and smiles all of the time! It is so fun to have a little boy around. The girls love to hug and kiss him. I guess that is why he is a little sick today. We all have a cold and it is almost impossible to keep the girls away from the baby. He is doing okay, just a little snotty nose. I hope he keeps growing the way he should!
