All better!!! Just kidding

These are the most recent pictures I have without his helmet on! He is so dang cute!

So we went to the doctor and he said that his head looks good enough to take the helmet off!! YEAH!!!! Right!? WRONG:( Just before Christmas we took Parker's helmet off and just after Christmas we went back for what we thought would be a finial check up and Parker's head went back 3mm. So we are now just putting it on him at night because that is the only time he is on his back. No fun! I just want all the neck and head and physical therapy and all that to be DONE! The good part about it I guess is he is double covered so we have not had to pay anything! Well I will keep updated with progress.

Parkers CRAWLING!

Parker started crawling and just this week he is crawling on his hands and knees. As much as I love him meeting these fun milestones it is the end if rest as I once knew it. He is into everything! He finds everything that he shouldn't have and he is exploring everything. It is fun but now I guess we are going to have to really baby proof everything. Anyways just thought I would post this.

Christmas stuff and a fun weekend

Kyle found an awesome parking spot and he took a picture to prove it. LOL he is funny:)

The boys helping get everything ready.

This weekend was full of fun activities for us. On Thursday night we went to In and Out burger and the movie Blindside with our friends Garek and Julia. The movie was awesome. I would recommend that everyone see it. Then Friday Kyle and I took the kids up to Nanette's house so that we could go to dinner and see the lights at Temple Square. Temple square was were we went on our first date 5 years ago. It is so fun to go together and talk about how funny that night was. We were also able to set up all our Christmas stuff up. Kaden really enjoyed setting up the tree with me this year. I love this tradition that we have every year to set the Christmas Tree up together as a family. It means a lot to me that Kyle is with us and helps us do these things as a family. So Kyle set the tree up, Kaden and I decorated, and Kyle put the angel on top. Kaden was so cute because he would put one of the snow flakes on the tree and then he would look at it and say "I'm good at this". It was so dang cute. Christmas has been a little more exciting this year for us because Kaden understands more about Christmas and Santa and he is getting very excited. It is really funny to me how Christmas has really changed for me now. It is now more about my kids and not about what I want. I am really enjoying that.

Christmas Time!

We are getting excited for Christmas here at our house. We are in the process of getting all our Chirstmas stuff up and it is so fun! It does not feel like Chirstmas until I have the Chirstmas stuff up. As soon as I have all my stuff up I will post the pictures!


To kick off the Christmas season every year I listen to this song to help me remember that Christmas is really about giving to others. If you go to Youtube they have a halmark type video for this song. If you have some time take a look at it. But for now here is the song and the lyrics. I hope everyone will go out and give whatever they can this Chirstmas Season to anyone who is in need.

Okay so I have spent a good portion of my day trying to figure out how to make my own backgroud and put it up. The only thing I cannot figure out is why it looks like this when I put it up. So it will look like this until I have more time to work on it! Sorry!


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving down in Manti. We were able to see so many faces that we have not seen for a while. We were lucky to be in town the same time Tyler and Amber were and so we stopped to see them. It was so much fun to talk with them again and laugh like we used to. We sure miss them and can't wait until they are closer. Kaden had a ton of fun playing with all of Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen's toys. It was really hard for him to share them with Parker because he has never had to before now. We also had fun going to the Manti light parade with Morris, Nanette, Troy and Sam. Kaden loved that he got to see Santa on top of the fire truck and he yelled "I want a monster truck!" It was so cute. We also were able to play a few fun games of 3D blockus with Nanette. That is now on my need to buy list. It was fun to see Neal and Sarah too! Neal thank for letting Kaden play Legos with you. He sure loved it! We sure love being with family and the fun that it brings.
