April Showers bring Love and Mayhem-

Clint:
I am here to expose a lie perpetuated by DC Comics.  The true alias of Superman is not Clark Kent.  I think you know what I am getting at.  This man chops trees, assembles trampolines, wrestles with fierce toddlers, makes computers bow to his will, and manages NOT to let Lois Lane drive him to the mad house. My hero. 


Wendy:
This is for all the mom's out there who drive themselves crazy with "TO DO" lists of our own making...I feel your pain.  Getting a lot done feels rewarding, and it is great to be able to serve others but at some point in my life I am DETERMINED to learn how to plan my schedule so I am not so concerned with my list- but rather being present in the moment.  So that is my goal- Simplify (As much as a working mom with 4 kids can) and stay in the present.  We are all works in progress, right?

Christian:
To the boy who was onced named Froggie, Von Frogginstein, Senor Froggins, Bilbo Froggins, Froggo Baggins, and Football Watchin Buddy...Happy 11.  This was a milestone, now a Boy Scout- closing out his Elementary School Career in Focus program, and a mature young man with a dream- to one day find himself the proud owner of an IPAD.  This boy is determined and a HARD worker, every week asking for paid chores...Anyone need some weeds pulled? Christian is for HIRE!  




Alyssa:
Pop Quiz: What animal is loyal and loving, better than a Golden Retriever and is sweeter than apple pie? THE GOLDEN GOOSE!




Alyssa is known for her Golden touch, golden locks, and golden halo...P.S.- thanks sweetie for putting up with Reagan climbing into your bed and flipping up on top of your head.
 
Tyler:
Oh the tank, what can I say but that he is growing- he is great to jog around the neighborhood, snuggle, and read Nate Out Loud.  I am really proud of his honesty, commitment to improve, and tenderness with Ray Ray.  He can do his homework, vacuum, put away laundry, do dishes, haul timber, wash the car, dust, and tease independently (or mostly, teasing is usually a family effort).

Reagan:
She still poops- but mostly NOT on the floor. It will be a proud day in the Sorensen home when I can say she reserves only one place for that activity.  I am out of spot shot...again.  For now, I will take solace in that fact that I am taking a "Blogger's Revenge" on my 3 yr. old to immortalize her struggles.  Ray's sandbox buddies are: Cuzzie Ava, Lincoln Hammond, Thomas Howe, Hannah Cooper, and Ella Opp.  She parties hard.
