Sunset Beach

This is some video I took while at Sunset Beach on the island of Ohau, Hawaii. Mike and I had a great time together just the two of us. We spent Tuesday driving around the island and stopped at various beaches on our drive. The weather was coming in from the east, but we were on the north side of the island and it was amazing to watch the waves come in and onto the beach. I could have spent a few hours at that beach playing in the sand and watching the waves.

Our Day at Home

Saturday was just a lazy day at home spending time together. The boys pulled the laundry basket out of the hallway and had some fun with it. Aaron climbed up on top of the basket and then looked under it to discover his brother.

Aaron is playing with his Lego's he received for Christmas. For a boy who is 15 months old, he is quite the builder. Must be in his gene's or something :)

Grandpa's Have All the Fun

The other night as mom was putting Aaron to sleep, the following conversation took place:

Andy: "I want a grandson."
Dad: "Um, you're a little young to have a grandson. First you have to have a son or daughter and then you can have a grandson."
Andy: "Okay, I want a daughter and then a grandson."

Granted, there are a few missing pieces to this puzzle, but Andy seems to think that grandpa's have all the fun with their grandsons. We are just blessed to have grandparents who love our boys and want to spend time with them. Even if those grandparents live too far away.

Happy New Year 2009

We have officially brought in 2009 and I'm wondering where most of 2008 went. I'm not one for resolutions as it's just as easy to break them as it to declare them. It's better to sit down and make a few goals for the year. But first, a bit of reflection of last year.

I am so incredibly blessed to be a stay at home mom with my two boys. It's been quite the year for the Sorensen family. We were able to do quite a bit of traveling and enjoy new experiences. It's been such a joy to watch the boys grow, learn and become their own little persons.

So on to the goals for 2009!

Andy wants to continue with soccer, jump on his bouncy thing everyday and teach his brother new things.

And then there is Aaron. Adding more words to his vocabulary is definitely on his little mind. His newest word is "Whoa" and it's funny to hear him say it when something happens or he hears someones talking. His other words are mama and yeah. Daddy is hoping for da-da.

Mom's goals are to continue providing healthy meals, lots of love, sharing God's word and showing His love to her boys.
