Aiden's mayhem

I was looking through my pictures and noticed that I have a lot of pictures of the messes Aiden makes. He is into everything and it is hard to keep him safe/occupied/holding still. Here are some pictures of what he has been up to. In the third picture he is holding the dvd player he broke. I still love him though.

Girls Night!

Last Friday night Abby, Chelsea and I decided to have a girls night. Abby said she had a surprise for us and we met at her house not knowing what we were doing. Chelsea and I both were trying to guess where we were going, but we were way off. She took us to get pedicures for our birthdays! I love pedicures. Chelsea had never had one, so it was pretty exciting.

After our pampering, we came back to my house and had chocolate fondue and watched a movie. Overall it was an amazing night. We all kept saying how happy and content we were. Thanks girls for a great night!

It's raining it's pouring

It literally is pouring buckets of rain here today. I took Trent to work this morning and when I got back it was raining so hard I sat in the car for ten minutes to see if it would slow down. It never did so Aiden and I got soaked anyway. The thunder is so loud here that it sets our car alarm off almost everytime. Texas has some awesome thunder storms.

Last night I was coaching a private lesson when we were all stopped and told we needed to move to the locker room. The tornado sirens were going off and the tornado was touching down in a couple places around us. It was a new experience for me, so of course we took pictures in the rain when we got home.

The way we live

We have been having amazing weather here. Not too hot, not too humid, just beautiful. Last Sunday Trent and Aiden sat out on our balcony and just hung out and ate peanuts. Now Aiden is obsessed with sitting out there. That is all he wants to do. You can tell he really loves sitting in his chair from how excited he is. We have been having a lot of fun lately. Last Friday we went to a Rangers game with our friends the Hickson's and a bunch of people from TWG. It was a blast. Aiden was awesome, even though it was pretty late, we even got to stay for the fireworks afterword. I LOVE fireworks. It was a great night.

Saturday I had a baby shower to go to in the morning and then we layed low for the rest of the afternoon. That night my club team was having a party so we all went and hung out with my girls. They are so fun, they were playing dress up. We ate some food and then played a couple games. I loved my team this year.

I Heart May

May is such a great month. People might say that I love May because it is my birthday month. That fact may contribute, but I love May because it means the start of summer. It always brings back great memories, great feelings and excitement. Summer is the happiest time of my life. So I hope everyone has a great May and summer this year, I know I am excited!

Things have been pretty standard at our house. I have my last club volleyball tournament this weekend, I am pretty excited about it. Even though I love my team and it has been a very fun season, I am ready for a break and we are ready to have some nights to ourselves. I have been looking around at other apartment's to see if we can find something cheaper, but I hate moving so much, it would have to be a big difference in price to make it worth it. It is just such a hassle to try to work all that out, it makes me not even want to think about it.

Some other exciting news is that Trent and I got 24 Hour Fitness passes yesterday. We are going to cancel our cable and put that money toward our gym memberships. Time to stop being fat and lazy and get in shape! I am excited!

Here are some pictures from April, including Easter. My mom sent us the greatest Easter package EVER with See's chocolates (the next best thing since Startup's doesn't make chocolates anymore) and clothes for all of us. I didn't get too many good pictures because Aiden was super tired and I was trying to meet a deadline for dinner, but he looked so cute. I also loved my outfit, but didn't like any pictures of me.

Happy Easter!

Grandma's Visit

Grandma Sorensen came for a visit on the 25th of March. We were so happy to have her here! She came at the perfect time because I had a volleyball tournament in Atlanta, so she watched Aiden while I was gone. Although we weren't too exciting while she was here, we did do some fun things. We went on walks, went to the park to feed the ducks, and went to the Dallas Arboretum. Here are some of the pictures from her visit.

Boy's Ranch

We loved having Grandma here! Aiden was spoiled because he always had someone to play with. We are so grateful for everything she does for us, and we miss her already. Love you!

I love you?

Yesterday I was flying home from a volleyball tournament in Atlanta with my volleyball team. We had just landed at the DFW airport and the group was gathering while people got off the plane. Just as we started walking out, I looked over at a man talking on his cell phone and thought he looked kind of familiar. Not wanting to stare, I tried subtly peeking at him to see if it was who I thought it was. Sure enough, there stood James Caviezel. I whispered to some of my players, that was there was a famous actor standing there and no one seemed to know/care/react fast enough as I did. I turned around, reached out my hand and said the first thing that came to my mind, "I love you!" He smiled at me, reached out his hand and said, "I love you too." Can you believe it?!! He loves me! I totally blame my behavior on my previous weekend hanging out with crazy, immature, 15 year old girls. I can't stop thinking about him, I really do love him!
