Almost 3 years later...

So I started a blog and then only posted once. That's about how I do things, start things and then have a hard time finishing them. I'm trying to do better at that so my goal is to post at least twice a month. It gives me a good start and hopefully I'll get into the habit and post more. So I'll start with an update:

Not just one more baby.. but 2!

Since the last time I posted, we have added two new kiddos to our family. Dean Curtis Sorensen (Deano) was born on May 18, 2015 and Maylin Kate Sorensen (May) was born on June 23, 2016.

Deano is almost two. He is such a special little boy who has more feelings than either of his sisters and you can't make him do anything he doesn't want to. He's going to have his hands full with his two sisters as they will boss him around as they get older. He's also got the sweetest spirit and loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses.

May is seven months old and a little firecracker. She's been talking and yelling for the last three months and she's ready to start moving. She doesn't sit still to save her life! May loves baby food (which I could never get the other two to ever eat) and she loves her siblings. She's very active and sleeps like a champ, when she's feeling well.

Finn has become THE BEST big sister. She loves to "mom" Deano and entertain May. They both adore her and I hope Curtis and I are able to help them keep a good relationship as they continue to grow together.

School. dun dun dun!!

Or..almost done. Curtis has 4 semesters (including the current one) left before he graduates. I seriously can't tell you how excited I am to have an end in sight. He has worked really hard over the last couple years going to school, working, and helping me through my pregnancies. It's fun to hear him get excited about his classes as he is taking higher level classes that pertain to his major. It will be exciting to have another engineer in the family:)

And work..

I recently went back to work. I started working at Best Buy with Curtis, just to get him through the rest of school. I work in costumer service and it's not so bad. So far I've only had people mad at me a few times, so I'm off to a good start. It has been quite a transition for myself and the kiddos. We tried having them in daycare but it's not really working out. I am so lucky to have the family I have around here that are willing to take and love my kiddos while Curtis and I are at work/school.

That's all I have for right now.. Next post will hopefully be more writing and less update:)

20 Months of Awesome:)

So I recently had the chance to become a stay at home mom:), mostly. So I thought it might be fun to start a blog so that friends and family could see the fun things that my tiny family does. Plus I really miss writing, so I thought this would be a good way to get my foot slowly back into that.

20 Months ago, I met my best friend. Ry had recently gotten a job at Olive Garden and had started telling me about this guy there that I needed to date. I was a little weirded out by that but I eventually started working there and turns out this guy was my trainer:D. I was immediately smitten with him but I was too shy to really make a move. After my week of training Ry stole my phone and added Curtis on my facebook account. When I got off of work that night, December 18th, He started a conversation with me but I couldn't talk to him. So my brother-in-law Josh flirted with him for about an hour and then invited him over to watch Lord of the Rings. We stayed up all night talking and hit it off from there:) In the following year and a half we were married, had a baby, and moved 6 times. Curtis trained and became a manager at Olive Garden and after Finn was born, in February, I started working at East Idaho Credit Union. Curtis had knee surgery in May and was home until the beginning of August. Finn stayed with my mom and Curtis while I worked, but I had a hard time being away from her. She has grown so much in the last 7 months and she is the best little girl:) She is so happy and active, it's amazing to watch the changes she is going through. I was able to quit my job and will start working at a pre-school. Which is something I'll love:) Curtis is going back to school to get a degree in Electrical Engineering and so we're going into new territory. We are both really excited and can't wait for the future:)

Almost all pictures on here were taken by my sister-in-law Ruth Mecham of Ruth Mecham Photography:)

Our engagement pictures were done the morning of our wedding :) We were only engaged for two weeks because Curtis had to be in Boise a week after we were married.

I could not be more happy with him:)

My husband is 6'7" and it's the best. He never played basketball and tall jokes really aren't funny, haha:)

Finnley Alisse Sorensen was born on December 22, 2013. So she got to have a little Christmas bow. Ruth was able to snap this picture while we were in the hospital.

This was the beginning of January. Over the years we have all come to appreciate the amazing photographer, Ruth, in our family.

 

Finnley loves everything bright and happy!! She really lights up the day!

Finnley was blessed on March 30. Her aunt S-bomb made her headband and necklace special for her:) AND we got to visit with almost all of Curtis' family, which was super fun because we don't get to get together much:)

Finnley was the 3rd of 4 babies to be born in our family in 8 months. Currently she is the largest of the 4. Her daddy will proudly tell you that she is in the 99.52% for her height and 95th for her weight. She definitely gets that all from Curtis. 

Finn and her besties, Macy Marie Wells and Dempsey Rose Richins.
