What Maren is up to {by Dana}

I stopped by Maren's on Wednesday, and this is what was cooking in her kitchen:

Fully original pre-school buckets!!!

For an upcomig trip to Disneyland...

Another homemade recipe...

Here's another "pattern". Maren says it's so easy... can't everyone just do this???? (Are you kidding me???)

Olivia's Suitcase

Maddie was packing her bag this morning because Tanya was taking her to "Wicked" in LA. Olivia was watching her for awhile and asking her about it. Later she comes into my room with this basket packed up with her clothes so that she could go too. Luckily, she was at preschool when Maddie left.

Alex was usually only happy when he was shoving food in his mouth. He loved to hoard his food and got very mad if anyone tried to take any.

He loved to help himself to Evan's food.

Evan was always smiling and loved when he got attention from people. He will probably grow up to be the class clown.

Evan was able to shove 3 binkies in his mouth at once!! He thought it was hilarious.

Sprinklers with cousins

What's better than a hot summer day and running through the sprinklers.

More Pool Time

Heidi, Mckenna and baby Sydney.

Mckenna wasn't sure about putting her face in the water at first, but after a few days, she was a little fish.
One of the contraptions made in the pool. Maddie sure has an imagination. All of the younger cousins loved to hang around her. She was always thinking up fun things to do. All of the Aunts wanted to take Maddie home.

Pool Time!!!

This year we were able to spend 12 days at Grandma and Grandpa's along with most of our cousins. We sure enjoyed pool time. Some days we made it to the pool 3 times.
CANNONBALL!!

Mckenna and Clara

Mckenna couldn't get enough of Baby Clara. She was always wanting to kiss her, stroke her hair or better yet feed her!!

More 4th of July

What a great firework show!!
Maddie and the sparklers.
Here's one of the pyro's.
Double duty!! I smell trouble.

Yummy homemade ice cream!!

Rice Krispy Treats and homemade ice cream are a Sorensen Family tradition on 4th of July.
Thanks to Aunt Rachael, the girls got to wear glow bracelets during the firework show.

More 4th of July

After breakfast we enjoyed swimming in Grandma & Grandpa's pool. We had unusually perfect weather in Fresno for 4th of July.
Popsicles are a must after swimming!! Beware!! Blue popsicles turn your poop BLUE!! Olivia was very proud to discover that.
Bubbles kept us entertained until it got dark enough to do the fireworks.

More 4th of July

Grandpa making a yummy breakfast!!
Mckenna wouldn't smile for one picture this morning because they didn't have chocolate chips in the pancakes.
As soon as we got home grandma melted some chocolate chips on her pancakes and the smile came out.

4th of July

Maddie on 4th of July. Isn't she growing up??

Love the flags.
Olivia is always willing to pose for a picture.
