Lilo & Stitch

I love Halloween!  Every year my grandma has a Halloween party and she likes us all to dress up.  So this year Remi and I just wore hawaiian clothing to go along with our Lilo & Stitch.

Lilo is a little too crazy so she didn't come to the party.

At the party we had dinner and then carved pumpkins.  I was proud of myself, I did my own pumpkin this year and it actually turned out good!  Normally we just do one pumpkin and Remi carves it.  Mine is on the left and Remi's on the right.

As you can see we have three pumpkins.  My grandma had extra's so Remi decided he would bring it home and carve another one.  Well Lilo got to it first, so we wrote on the pumpkin "carved by Lilo the dog" and put it out on the front porch with our pumpkins.  The kids got a kick out of it!

In Memory of...

5/1/1996-12/26/2009

We lost a good friend yesterday.  

Yesterday was a tough day, my eyes burned from all the tears I shed that day.  We started off by going to a funeral of a 21 year old girl that lived in my parents ward.  And even though I didn't know her very well, it was just so sad.  And then to top it off we went to say our last Goodbyes to Smokey.  His body was just shutting down and so we had to put him to sleep.  I'm going to miss him!   We have some fun memories with him and he will always be remembered. 

We love you Smokey!

New project

Remi wanted a new project (this was about a month ago) so we came up with a design for our front room and he got to work!  He worked hard on this and got it done within 2 days after 9 hours of tapeing! 

The finished project...

I LOVE IT!

He did a wonderful job, don't you think?

Family Pictures

our Family Vacation...

On the week of my 25th Birthday and Jessica and Ryan's Birthday's, we took a Sorenson Family Vacation to California!  It was a blast (thanks to Rach for setting it up)!

There were 17 of us staying in this cute home that we rented complete with a swimming pool and Disneyland fireworks everynight!  It was the cutest place (and it will sleep more if you need it).  I recommend this place to anyone! (25 minute walk to Disneyland)

LOVED Seaworld!!

also LOVED Disneyland and California Adventure!   I haven't been here since I was about 7 years old, so everything was new to me and so much fun!  We had a 3 day park hopper pass here.  I also spent my Birthday here in Disneyland and they gave me a $72 voucher to spend in Disneyland, it was great!

And the last day we spent some time at the beach, it was relaxing (we needed that after 6 long days of walking, walking, and more walking).  There were some cute dogs being walked on the beach, one of which was a Welsh Terrior like Lilo and made me miss her.  And seeing the cute white Fox Terrior made me want to get a second dog (but I don't think I'm ready for this). 

Then we went to San Diego Zoo for a couple of hours and did some more walking!  It was fun to see the animals, especially the Panda Bear...so cute!

Thanks SORENSON'S for making this such a fun trip!

We missed you Stott's!
