Connor Jones Sorensen

He is here!! Connor was born on July 15 at 8:27 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds and was 20 inches long. It is wonderful to have him here He is such a good baby and is always so content. His brother absolutely loves him and they are so cute together. Luke is always the first to tell me that Connor is hungry and that I better sit down to feed him. It is more fun then I thought it would be having two boys and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Sorry these pictures aren't the best hopefully I will get more on soon!! (:

BABY TIME

For those of you who haven't heard I am going in to have our baby tomorrow. I won't be able to update for a while but I will try to spread the word quickly so you will all know what we had!!! Wish me luck!

Easter

Easter was pretty busy this year. Dan and I were in charge of an Easter egg hunt for our ward. We served breakfast and then went over to a park across the street where Dan had hidden all the eggs and had a fun little hunt. Luke had a blast and once he realized there was candy inside the eggs there was no stopping him. On Sunday we had dinner with the Sorensens. The Easter bunny had hidden more eggs there. Lets just say that Luke needs a sibling to compete with because this hunt was too easy. It was a fun Easter and I was grateful I could still fit in the dress I had bought it was a little tricky!

New Update

So if you are all wondering where Laura went I am still here life has just changed a little. First, of all Dan finishes school in about two months and I am really looking forward to having a husband that doesn't always have to work on Saturday!! Second, I am pregnant! We went in for our 19 week ultrasound on Wednesday and everything about the baby looks nice and healthy. The best part though is we didn't find out what we are having. If you ask Luke if it is a baby brother or sister most of the time he says "baby sister." This pregnancy has been wonderful compared to the rest but there sure is a difference between you first and third. I am definitely more LAZY!! Dan has been great and Luke is wonderful he would hold my hair back and rub my back while I would throw up and then give me a kiss and say "momma sick." Then I would remember it was all worth it. I hope that explains why I have been missing for the last three months!

Happy Birthday!

So Luke turned two this week and I can't believe how quickly time flies. He is so grown up and it makes me sad yet I really enjoy watching him learn and play He is capable of making me laugh everyday by something he says or does. We had a blast at his party and it was a little crazy at times but that was expected. He picked jungle animals for his party so I decided to follow in my sisters footsteps and attempt a monkey cake.

Luke was spoiled by all his cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas. He sure is loved by many!

I would have to say the biggest hit of the night was his remote control jeep. It hasn't left his side since it was opened. I guess Mom and Dad know best.

We sure do love you Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Best Buds

Luke and his cousin Benson are best buds. Erica and I were driving in the car the other day and when we looked back this is what we saw. Luke and Benson holding hands! It was so dang cute and they just continued to hold hands the rest of the drive. Then a couple of days later I was driving with both Luke and Benson in the back seat and all I could hear was Benson's giggle. So I knew I had to see what was going on. I looked back and there they were playing tug-o-war with Luke's "Whoobie" his little dog slash blanket. Luke had a foot in his mouth and Benson had the ear in his. I was laughing so hard just watching Luke's and Benson's head getting tossed back and forth as they pulled on the toy like little puppies. It is so fun to watch them grow and develop together I am so glad that Luke has a cousin so close in age and I just hope they will always live close together so they can stay best buds!

Firsts

This was a very exciting Saturday filled with many firsts. First of all Dan was able to change his work schedule and join us in the fun which was a first since school started. We started the day off by participating in our first mini triathlon and was tons of fun. It was a family event in ways because we all participated in the event in different ways. Dan was able to run and I got to enjoy doing the bike part. It was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to doing it again next year. After the race we went home and got ready to go to our first BYU game this year and the best part is we got to take Luke! It was the BYU vs. Wyoming game so my Dad was able to relax and enjoy himself. Luke had a blast and was extremely spoiled by everyone. Dad filled him full of treats, Grandpa spoiled him with pop and he was able to convince Grandma that he needed the most expensive football in the shop (which he now has to sleep with). He made it through all the way to the third quarter and then finally crashed in Dads arms I thought he did really well considering he hadn't had a nap all day. The saddest part is I think he enjoyed the marching band the most. I guess the best part of the day was just being together and watching him cheer with "bampa." Luke is a quick learner! The other day we were in the car and listening to the Utah vs. Oregon St. and we were about two minutes into the drive when Luke finally said "mama go Cougs" as his little arm went up in the air. In my defense it isn't just me that is doing all the teaching!!
