Crazy Hair

Daisha was born with tons of hair. She has since lost quite a bit of it and has started to get the line around the head of baldness. She still has a little long piece in the back, and a little on top, but is balding around the middle:) Its fun to see what we can do with her hair, even with all the hair she gets mistaken for a boy....I guess I should start putting more bows in her hair, but we think she is definately a little girl with all the right little girl features:)
Everytime we lay her on our couch her hair goes nutso....it's a good time!

Just a cute picture after bath time!

After bath time, gotta love it!

Past Pictures

Our first big snow in Firth. We built...when I say we, I mean Tate and Kasen, built a snowman...it has lasted for at least a month and a half. They did a great job! Of course, after they were finished we had to have yummy hot chocolate:)
Fixing the gloves...WE don't like being cold.

Christmas morning, playing with the new playdough cake making station. We had a fun time making some pretty awesome cakes.

Baby's first Christmas, Christmas morning 2010. Daisha is such a sweetie pie.

Merry Christmas little angel!

The big 28

Tate had his 28th birthday on the 15th. Boy he is getting old:) He requested a moose cake (his mom's special homemade chocolate cake) with homemade frosting!! Kasen got him a sweet gun, some bubbles, and little pill like things you stick in water and they grow into small dinosaurs. He was pretty excited about his gifts and has since let Kasen have all of them....well, the gun, seeing how we have already blown all the bubbles and the other things weren't much of a success:) Kasen and I had a fun time making his birthday cake. His parents were able to come and visit that day and stayed till monday, so it was lots of fun having them here. We went to dinner to Texas roadhouse which is always a success, and then came home and sang happy birthday and had a piece of cake:) So much fun, and so exciting!!! It's fun to be able to do those type of things, mostly because Kasen gets such a kick out of it, decorating, the balloons, the hats the whole shabang:) So here's to you Birthday Boy:)

Ahhh...Drats....I don't want to rotate to make it right...so just turn your head...the cake:)

Snow Time

We have had a fun time playing in the snow. While we were in Talmage, it snowed like Crazy!!! The last night that we were there, Kasen and I headed out to play in it one last time. Where people had shoveled the snow, there was a big pile, so we started digging through that to make a tunnel. Kasen was sure that he was a little ground hog. I was the mommy groundhog and he the baby:) Once I had dug all the way through to actually see the other side, he climbed up on top and started digging a hole on the top. He kept saying that he had to have a hole in the top or else he would be able to get out of his home. That is how groundhogs get out and see, is through the top of the tunnel. Well, of course mom!! I kept telling him not to becuase it was going to cave in adn I didn't really want to be in the middle of the tunnel with him on the top and it cave in. anyway, we had a fun time pretending to be groundhogs. Till it got too cold and so we had to go back inside for Hot Chocolate. Now, he pretty much just gets all dressed, goes outside for about 4 minutes then runs back in claiming he is Freezing and needs hot chocolate. Good way to get the yummy hot cocoa, but it sure does take forever getting him into his snow clothes.

He loves to EAT the snow. from the looks of the background it doesnt' look to clean, but some of it was, and we really enjoyed it:)

Christmas parties

Here are few more pictures from our time in Talmage. We also were able to attend a family Christmas party which was a blast :) We had our own little "Roy and Brenda" Family party and then after that we had one where Santa came with the bigger Sorensen family party. It's always nice to be able to get together and see everyone, and especially for me, continue to learn everyone's names and where they belong in. I know...I should know by now, it's been 5 years but, I am almost there I think:)

All of the Sorensen Grandkids. A pretty cute bunch!

Opening present from Ruger. Cool trucks.

Another cool truck from Ruger.

And Santa Clause. This year was a bit more of success than last. He was excited to get to sit on Santa's lap. Although, he was funny. For the longest time, Kasen kept telling us that he was going to ask santa for a buzz lightyear, that is what he really wanted and would think would be super cool. Then right when we got to Talmage, he changed his mind to a yellow puppy named up. He didnt' want a real one, just a pretend one that talked. We had NO clue as to where he got that one. I think that the last time that he even saw the movie Up was during the summer. So, we spoiled him and he got to ask Santa for a Yellow puppy that talked. We kept talkign to him about how COOL it would be to have a Buzzlightyear instead and he wasn't sure if it was that cool anymore.....needless to say, Santa was very giving this year and got him both a Buzz Lightyear and a Yellow puppy named UP, which really, since the dog actually talks and for those of you who have seen the movie, his real name is Doug, but we call him UP anyway:)

Blessing

ON December 19th we drove to Talmage and blessed our sweet little angel girl. We were able to have all but 1 family member on Tate's side make the blessing. I am not going to lie, I was a little sad about not having any members of my family be able to make it, but I know that's how it goes:) I know that especially my parents wished they could have but the Darn weather was TOO horrible to drive. I know they love us:)

A few things that I want to remember about the special blessing given to Daisha Dana...

Your dad blessed you to have a love of the scriptures, to study them and let them be your guide. To have a spirit of service. You have a large family that loves you very much with people all around you that want the best for you. To find a worthy man to take you to the temple when its time!

We love you sweet little girl.

Catch up #1...bloody finger

It seems like it is just too hard to post again since it's been forever since my last one. But I will try. I will start with Christmas I guess:) WE had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas filled with lots of love and gifts, especially the spirit of service and giving. We have been extremely blessed this past Christmas with amazing friends and secret Santas, that have kept us filled with the spirit and love of others, and kept us very humble. A little bit of a surprise.....3 days before Christmas I almost cut my finger off:) Yep, the 22nd, I was making treats for the neighbors and trying to get some hard candy out of the dish and using a long thin, bendy knife I sliced the pointer on my left hand. As we type its still very numb and wierd feeling. Before story goes as follows. I asked Tate if he would come in and slice the squares for me since I was having a rough time of doing it, he started and was being extremely careful. While cutting he says, "This is a good way to cut off your finger." I said, "Do you want me to hold the pan?" Tate, "Ya, I would rather you cut off your finger than me, you still have insurance." So we go on and he finishes cutting the treats into squares and leaves the kitchen. I then proceed to PRY the suckers out of the pan, and the last corner and the treats pop out while the knife slips and cuts me:) I grab my finger, run to the sink and don't dare look, while I am yelling at Tate. He runs in, and looks at my finger and says, Yep, lets go the ER. We call our amazing friend she runs over to take the kids, and we head to the Hospital. ON our way, I am being a spaz, it actually hurt pretty bad, but lets be honest, I was overreacting a bit:) He then tells me that he didn't really MEAN for me to cut off my finger, it was just a joke:) REALLY Funny Tate:) Anyway, we get there, they make me go to the ER, and I get 8 stitches. Last Sat, Tate took them out for me while we were in Colorado, he did a FANTASTIC job and now I just need my finger to heal and getting the feeling back, which probably will take a while, but it's starting to get a bit better!!! Ah, Merry Christmas:)
