Super Long Update!

I finally found all the parts I needed to get my pictures uploaded to my computer! Yay! This summer has already been going by so fast and so much has happened in the Sorensen family already! So here's what we have been up to....
My little sister, Jessica graduated from High School in May! Way to go Jess! Here are some pics






Then...we moved to Mesa and began working on our house. When everything is finished I will post some before and after pictures... I know, you are all so excited!

Let's see what else... We have been having so much fun being so close to family. We have enjoyed having Justin and Aubry over for daily swim parties. Last week Aubry and Justin forgot their swimming suits. All of Nate's were too big for Justin so I let him borrow some of my pink Roxy board shorts. He looked so cute in them! Especially when he added Aubry's yellow sunglasses to the look. Sorry Justin, I had to post these!

Justin and his shorts:)

Nate workin on his tan!


Over the Fourth of July weekend we went to Greer, AZ for an Alder family reunion. It was so nice up there. I didn't get too many pictures because my camera died after a couple of days, but here is what I have. We really enjoyed the weather, but my feet and ankles did not enjoy the elevation change.

We all drove to Eager to watch the fireworks. My uncle Preston lit a few of his own right in front of our cars before the big show started. Luckily no one went to jail or caught on fire:) Here's Jess and Nate enjoying the show.

Here's Ashlee and Maggie waiting for the fireworks to start

And here are my ugly feet. This is how they looked on the way up the mountain. They got even worse as the weekend progressed. I used to complain about having long skinny feet. Well, it turns out that long fat feet are even more ugly:)

Well, that's the reader's digest version of what we've been up to for the past couple of months. Maybe next time I post, I will have baby pictures:)

I'm alive!

So we made it to Mesa and we have been trying to get settled in. It's been a rough couple of weeks with pretty much everything in our house not working until today:) I finally have internet! Hurray! Too bad I can't find the box with the battery charger for my camera in it. So sorry, no pictures:( Nate started his new job last week at Larson Allen. He is starting to like it more and more. He has decided that accounting is pretty boring though. Who would have thought?:) Ha Ha! Me and baby are doing great. Except for the swollen ankles of course. The heat and elevation drop have really done a number on my poor feet. I had to go buy some flip flops that looked sort of dressy to wear to church last week. (Don't tell my grandpa, he'll shoot me!) I can't believe I only have like 10 weeks left. (Hopefully less!) I have really enjoyed being pregnant and I just can't wait to meet my little girl! Ok, enough of the mushy baby stuff! So now you know what we've been up to...

Is it really over???

Nate graduated! I cannot believe that it is finally over! Hurray! I have a husband again! (Well... at least until tax season rolls around) It was so fun having our family up for the weekend to see Nate graduate. Plus I got to spend mother's day with my mom and grandma, which was really fun:) I just cannot believe that Nate is not in school anymore and that in two more weeks we will not be living in Flagstaff anymore. Seriously, where does the time go? It feels like just yesterday we moved up here and 5 years seemed like an eternity. And now we are moving...having a baby...Nate's starting his career... I guess it just hit me how much our lives are changing. I'm excited to start a new adventure, though. Change is always good. (I hope!)

This is our baby?

So I found this site on Mark and Jae's blog and I thought I'd give it a try. This is supposed to be what our baby will look like. Uh... where did the red hair come from? Not sure. Anyway... guess I should get back to packing ha ha!

Conference Weekend!

I love conference weekend! What's not to like about laying on the couch in your pajamas for two whole days! Well, I didn't get to do that this time because our fun brother and sister-in-law Justin and Aubry came stay with us for a few days. We had a lot of fun shopping and golfing and eating out. Well, Aubry and I didn't golf, but we definitely shopped our little hearts out! I even bought a cute outfit for Sadie! (So far that is the name we have picked out for our little girl:) ) So back to conference... I loved it! I always do, but I felt like the theme this time was "endure to the end," which at first I thought was kind of depressing, but then I got really into it and I really enjoyed everyone's messages. Too bad I was the only one enjoying those messages...

Aubry's fast asleep on the couch and Justin's on the floor snoozing away!


And here's Nate, snoring away!

I was pretty amazed that I stayed awake for the whole thing. I usually fall asleep during the second session on Sunday, but not today! Anyway............ I hope everyone else enjoyed conference as much as I did:)

GIRL!

We are having a little girl! I was scared that I wouldn't get to find out at first, because she was all curled up in a ball. The ultrasound tech said she couldn't get a good picture of anything because she was curled up so tight. But I learned a trick that WORKED! She had me lie on my stomach for five minutes, and when she came back, she had unwound herself. We were so happy! It was so fun getting to see a picture of our baby. It made it feel real finally. Although they could tell the sex, she was in a weird position still and they didn't get a good enough look at the heart so they want us to come back in two weeks to use a better machine. Yeah! More pictures!

After our doctor's appointment, we went to Nate's brother, Gary's, Birthday party at Dave and Busters. After we ate, we walked over to Cadillac Ranch and watched people ride the mechanical bull. Nate and I were too chicken to try it (plus I don't think the baby would have liked it much). Nate and I left early because some drunk guy accidentally spilled his beer all over my legs and feet! Yuck!!!!! Here are some pictures...

And I know this has nothing to do with anything but... When we got back to Flagstaff this evening, Jaxon and Brett Sauls came over to watch Hot Rod with Nate. They were so cute and so I had to take some pictures:)

Its a....

Sorry it has been a while. Time just flies by. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having an ultrasound tomorrow to find out what we are having! Yay! I had a dream last night that it was a boy, but I have also had dreams it is a girl, so who knows! We had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, but it's legs were crossed. Ashlee said that the baby must be shy like it's dad! HaHa! Anyone have any ideas on how to uncross your unborn baby's legs? Just thought I'd ask...
