Babies!

My friend Shauna came and took these cute pictures and put together these collages for me! I LOVE them!!

Double Trouble!!

The day FINALLY arrived!! Last Thursday we welcomed our TWINS into our family!Kennedy Noelle Sorensen was born on May 6th at 2:47 p.m. She weighed 6 lb 6 oz and was 19.5 inches. Kennedy is a beautiful little girl!!!! She sleeps a lot and is very content and she rarely cries. Konrad Clinton Sorensen was born May 6th at 2;52 p.m. and weighed 6 lb 3 oz and was 19 inches long. Konrad is a little louder. He keeps us going and has a hungry little tummy! We think he's such a handsome little guy.
We're so in love with these little babies! We were so happy that everything went so well. The babies arrived so healthy and went as well as we could have hoped for!


We finally got to go home! We're looking forward to our new adventures with our new little family!!

HAPPY Mother's Day!

This was such a GREAT Mother's Day!! We are blessed to have two great mother's who were there for us through this amazing experience of bringing our twins into our family! We were so grateful to have both of them there with us for this. We appreciated ALL that they did for us!
Both of our moms are very talented women, both very creative. They both LOVE their families and especially their grandchildren. I am thankful to my mother for raising her family to be independent and hard workers. She sacrificed so much for me and my siblings! Cody's mom also raised a great family and sacrificed for them. I am thankful to her for raising a great son for me to raise my family with. She also does so much for me. I love you both!

Marshmallow WOMan

Lately I feel like the marshmallow man! We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of our twins!! I can't wait to have more than a couple items of clothing I can fit into. If I was having one baby I would be measuring 49 weeks gestation! Really it's embarrassing that even very large maternity shirts only make it to the middle of my belly. In all honesty I am struggling a lot with the end of this pregnancy. I can't move very well and my feet are swelling up like watermelons! At my doctor appointment on Friday the doctor will set a date for me to be induced. I'm hoping for next Thursday (May 6th)! We're glad the babies are still doing well though and should arrive at a good weight.
So what have we been up to? Corbett is in soccer now. It's a league for 3-4 year olds. It's pretty entertaining. Corbett loves it! He thinks he's so big now. He's on team REAL. Cody is his coach.We've had several warm days where we made it to the park. It's the perfect opportunity for me to pull up a camp chair and chill while Corbett gets his exercise. We had a bbq with friends and a couple game nights. We made it up the canyon twice to roast hot dogs and s'mores (another chance for me to relax in a camp chair). Cody took Corbett down to a Bees' game in Salt Lake and I had the evening to myself. Here's Corbett at the game, from what I hear it was a good time and they caught lots of foul balls!Corbett also went with Cody to Rigby to do a job there and Corbett spent the day with his Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen. He had a lot of fun from what I hear. Last night Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen came to see Corbett play his soccer game. We all went out to Bluebird for dinner. We had a great time! Preschool ends tomorrow. My last day as teacher was today though and the timing couldn't be better. I'm very proud of Corbett and the progress he has made.

Spoiled Rotten!

A few weeks ago some of my best friends came to Logan and had a baby shower for me! They took me to lunch at the Bluebird (YUM!) and spoiled me! I love these girls, whenever we get to hang out we have SO much fun!! THANK YOU Jamie, Lindzi, & Laura!! I'm so lucky to have such great friends! Here's one of the few pregnant pictures I'm going to share.

Trip to Idaho

Two weeks ago we made a trip to Rexburg, Idaho to see our niece Matilda be baptized. It was a quick Sunday trip (she was baptized on Sunday evening). Congrats to Matilda! Corbett got a chance to play with his Sorensen cousins. Here is Corbett with his cousin Jack. They are about 9 month apart and LOVE playing together! It was a great day for flying kites!!
It was fun to see everyone but I think that will be our last trip for a while. The traveling makes my contractions start up and we want to avoid going into labor for a few more weeks!

Happy Easter!

We had a fun and eventful week! Our Easter Bunny comes on Saturday. This year he brought model rockets for the boys...and the newest addition to our family, Maximus the triceratops! Maximus is a webkinz and Corbett is having a ton of fun playing with him. We also had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday with Corbett's cousins on my side. We had the hunt in Tremonton where my sister lives because Logan was covered in snow.
On Easter we enjoyed conference and afterward took Corbett for a bike ride on the Logan River trail. I had more than one passer by comment on my pregnant condition and one guy was very concerned when I was waiting on a bridge alone. He made sure I was okay and that I was with someone. I look like I'm about to pop! I'm actually only 34 weeks now so we still have a few weeks to go.
Crazy enough we were passing by the gardening store near our house and there was a camel and some zebras outside! We stopped to let Corbett feed them and take a closer look!


I love holidays, Easter is no exception. We celebrate them as much as we can! We're grateful for the meaning of the holiday and try to teach it to Corbett. Corbett is worried about the "bad guys" who killed Jesus and has asked me several questions about them. He understands Jesus came back to life and has his body again. He is lying is wait for those "bad guys" who killed Him though, they better not cross paths with Corbett!

This was a CRAZY week! It was filled with fun for Corbett. It was filled with making crafts for me. My cousin had a boutique at her house over the weekend and Tammy and I put some crafts there as well. Cody had to go to Pennsylvania Tuesday evening so he got off work in the early afternoon and took Corbett to the movie! They had so much fun! That evening Corbett got invited to sleep over at Carson's house. It was spring break so it was a big party with other cousins invited too. Thursday Sandra took Corbett along with her family to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake. He had a lot of fun there too (and I got a nice quiet day to work on crafts). Friday we had to deliver our crafts to my cousin's house in Syracuse and we stopped to see my mom at her school and go to lunch. Saturday Corbett helped Cody in the yard all day and then they went rock climbing in the evening! What a lot of fun!!
