Family Home Evening at the Sorensens' house.
It was a little chilly so they pulled out the blankets.
For Hunter's birthday everyone gave him bags of chips. He loves chips and said that he wanted to try all the flavors. He got 14 bags for his 14th birthday.
Cooper and Bennett enjoying time with Grandma Webre in the hammock.
Tessa eating baby food. She is not the best at eating it. She prefers to play with it and/or talk with her mouth full. Not very fun for me, so I don't try to feed her baby food that often.
Bennett trying on a Halloween mask and growling.
Bennett making the giraffe give Tessa kisses. These boys sure love their sister.
Tessa standing at the gate. She has fallen down the stairs in front of her brothers a few times and they remember. I was sitting right in front of the gate [with the gate open] so Tessa couldn't get out and Cooper decided he wanted some string cheese. He would NOT go to the fridge to get the cheese until the gate was shut. I tried explaining that I would not let Tessa fall and she was going to be fine. But he didn't trust me. He kept saying over and over "shut gate, Tessa fall!" I finally gave in and let him shut the gate. He then said in a very relieved voice "Thank you, Momma." Then proceeded to grab his cheese.
They are such protective and loving brothers.
Working her charm to get out of the gate.
Love family bike rides!
Cooper pretending to trim his nails.
Cooper made a hole in the pack-n-play during nap time and then fell asleep with his finger in the hole. Silly kid.
Apparently if you don't like something but your parents make you eat it anyway, it helps to cover your ears. At least according to Cooper. (We made him eat it because he has eaten it before and liked it. So he was just being stubborn.)
Apparently we asked someone to homecoming and they accepted! Pretty stoked. haha. They actually had the wrong house, it was meant for our next door neighbors.
Feeling domestic and making peach raspberry jam for the first time ever.
Isn't it beautiful?
Tessa loves to talk to her brothers during their bath.
Cooper and the oven mitts
Bennett and his "onkey". The boys got these monkeys in their stockings last Christmas and they have been very attached to them ever since. They sleep with them every night. It is pretty cute.
Another family bike ride.

Bennett helping Daddy mow the lawn.
After having the fire bowl for two summers we finally used it!
Bennett eating his first s'more
Cooper
The expert marshmallow roaster
The boys don't always get their legs into the correct holes. Cooper sporting the mini skirt.
All three kids had been fighting coughs and runny noses for several days. Tessa had woken up with a rather crusty nose. As soon as Cooper saw it, he ran for a tissue and began to "keen up nose."
Bennett trying to get Tessa to tackle him. She had tackled Cooper and loved it so he thought it was his turn. Again, I LOVE that my children love each other.
The boys informed me that Tessa bathes in a boat. I never thought of it as a boat but I can totally see where they got that idea.
Cooper playing at the park after one of our bike rides.
Jason helping Bennett climb.

Tessa just chilling on the blanket
The boys like to put their shirts partially on like this and then roar like a lion. They will then pull them all the way on and finish getting dressed. This is Cooper.
I had just gave the boys haircuts and left the supplies out on the counter. Bennett found the scissors and decided to cut his own hair. Oops. It really could have been worse though.
Playing with window clings getting ready for Halloween.
