Grandma Sorensen


On February 1st, my Grandma Sorensen passed away. She was such a wonderful lady. Always so kind and loving, and appreciative. I'm going to miss her.

January

A lot happened in January. I guess one of the biggest things, though are that John went to Ireland for visit his Mom. Yes, He went without us. He's been begging me to let him take a trip on his own to see his mom for months now, and after we saw her in October, I broke down and let him go. This is him and his Mom and Sister. He was so excited, and had a great time while he was there. The funny part was that he kept telling us that he wished we were there with him. I guess next time we'll just have to go all together! I don't want to miss out on another trip to Ireland!

While he was gone, I decided to paint the boys' bedroom. I though it would be a great surprise for him when he got home, and that he would be happy to have one big project crossed off the list. It was a lot of work, but I was excited to be surprising John. there was only one day that I really thought "What the heck have I gotten myself into". I think it turned out great! I'm just going to have John make a couple of Road signs for the walls.
At the end of January, we took the Kids swimming. This pool is so much fun with all the fountains and slides and such. We've been there before, but I always forget to bring my camera. Here are some of the cut pictures. I also found this picture of Devin at Christmas on my Sister-in-law's blog. It is hilarious! Thanks Callie for sharing. (as if you had a choice) ;)
