Lately

It is amazing how quickly time passes when you don't want it to. When I did want time to go quickly, it dragged on and on. Now that I want it to slow down, it is rushing by. I can't believe my baby girl is 3 weeks old. I don't even know what I have done for the past 3 weeks, but I do know I have some pictures.

My Mom came to help the night before I was induced. She was such a lifesaver. She cooked dinner every night, cleaned, did my laundry like only she can, went grocery shopping for me, watched Aiden, watched Sienna and helped us in every way possible. I loved having her here and haven't cooked since she left. I am in denial. My Dad got here on Sunday and they both stayed til Saturday morning. It was so fun having them here, even if we weren't that exciting. Aiden loved having Dad around so they could wrestle. The boys also went to a Rangers game, went swimming and we all went to Babe's for some southern cooking. Thank you so much for coming, I love you guys!

Since they have been gone I have been adjusting to life with two kids. We have watched lots of movies, taken lots of naps and let housework and all other responsibilities take a back seat. We had a nice incident that involved Me, Sienna, and projectile poop, I will let you see the pictures for details. Aiden got a cold/cough and I did my best to prevent her from getting sick. It didn't work, she got sick anyway, but it hasn't been too bad. Sienna is such a great baby. If all big babies are this good, I hope all my babies are big. She eats really well, sleeps a ton and started sleeping through the night at 9 days. She has woken up once or twice, but I usually put her down around midnight and she sleeps til 7. I am pretty lucky, I know. I am loving life and trying to enjoy every moment along the way.

Sienna Ray

Our little girl is here! Sienna Ray Sorensen weighed 8 lbs 15 oz and was 21 inches long. We can't believe how much hair she has, it was a shock to see. She is so beautiful, we are so happy she is here and part of our family. I will post more about how things went later, just wanted to get some pictures up for everyone to see. Love you all and thank you for all your messages and support.










By the time Aiden got to the hospital he was passed out. He slept for an 1.5 before he got to meet his sister.


These pictures are from day 2


Aiden loves giving "Nenna" kisses and wants to hold her all by himself

Being soft





Being born in July, she is already very patriotic.

Fourth Festivities

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, tied with Christmas. I was so excited that we got to spend it with family in Utah this year, and it was even better because we got 3 days to celebrate. On Saturday we got up to see the hot air balloons take off and went to Molly's for breakfast afterward. Trent and Ryan decided to play in the volleyball tournament in Park City so Lori, Aiden and I went to watch for a while. Saturday night was Stadium of FIRE!!!! My favorite. This year was so good. Carrie Underwood was amazing. We decided not to take Aiden because it was so late and he wouldn't really remember it, so it was a relaxing, fun night for us.

Sunday was a low key day. We hung out with family, made sure we were all packed and played games. Monday we went to the parade and then had our Startup family lunch. It was great to see everyone and eat some good food. Our flight left at 5 on Monday, so we had to cut it short, but it was a great holiday. I love the 4th!!!
