More Fun

We met Steve, Heather, Alex, Ben and Olivia at Temple Square last Friday. After walking around there we had lunch at the new food court at the City Creek Center. Red Iguana ---yummmmm!

Who could resist Olivia's big blue eyes?

Catching Up

We have been very busy since our last post. Shortly after returning from Boston the Sorensen family moved into their new home. Becca came back and filled over two sacks with Taz's deposits.

We did some painting and carpeting in the basement.

Jenna was blessed on March 14



We had lots of fun with Steve, Nate and their families in town.

More From the East Coast

Tearing out the flower wallpaper from the pink bathroom. Look at that happy face. Hopefully we can get it ready to paint before we leave.

Making spiders - a new project from our bead store.

Brothers taking a morning nap. Trevor in his swing and Timothy in his stander. Timothy seems to tolerate his stander much better since his surgery. Perhaps he was in pain before they fixed his hip.

Sweet little Trevor

We Are a Happy Family

Trevor Jason Poulsen

Trevor was blessed today. He is only two weeks old so his clothes are bit big.

Alyssa loves to hold and tend him.

Debbie was kind enough to share her extra fabric and pattern from Luke's blessing outfit so we have matching cousins.

We were thrilled to be able to be in attendance.

Trevor and his mom.

The Last of 2009

This is how Grandpa and Grandma tend when mom and dad go out on a date. I don't know what they were watching but it was good!


Nate showed us his new head of hair -- I don't think Luke is too sure of it.


Jenna Rebecca Sorensen is now living with us along with her mom and dad and brothers. It is fun to have an infant in our home again. She is a sweetheart.



New Years Eve Clint made a big pot of Low Country Boil--Potatoes, Sausage, Corn, Shrimp, and Crab boiled with special seasonings and then drained and poured out on the table. This is something he had on his mission and we were grateful he was willing to share. SUPER YUMMY
