LOvE bIrD tAg!

1. Where did you and your husband meet?
Tim and I have known of each other for most of our lives, but we really got to know each other between 7th and 8th grade when we both started playing "Jam On It" basketball. I had never played before (other than in my backyard) and Tim was already good, but he was really nice to me and would help me out. We then played on an Indian League co-ed basketball team together. He called my air balls trick passes to him!

2. First thing you said to each other. . .
Hello - met how many years ago!!! I have no idea (I blame all memory loss on Ky, like my mom blames all of hers on us kids)!

3. What was your first date?
Our first date was Junior Prom. We had decided to go together when we were Sophomores. Tim held my hand almost the entire night!

4. Where was your first kiss?
Our first kiss (this is embarrassing) was on the bottom bunk of Tim's bunk bed. We had been just friends for so long that his parents let us hang out in his room. The next day we decided to still be just friends because we knew how crappy high school relationships were - this happened a good year before our first date!

5. Long or short courtship/engagement?
Long courtship, short engagement. We dated from our Junior year (1999) until 2004 (2 year mission in there). Tim got home on September 4th and we were married October 16th.

6. Where did you get engaged?
We became officially engaged at our (my apartment at the time) in Reno. Tim took me out to dinner and while we were out his sister, brother-in-law and mother came and decorated our apartment with white rose petals and candals. When he took me home, he proposed!

7. Where were you married?
We (like Daniel and Kelsey) were married in the Biggest Little City in the Biggest Little Temple (Reno)!

8. Where did you honeymoon?
Since we got married in the middle of my second to last semester of school and not even on a 3 day weekend we (like Daniel and Kelsey) spent the weekend at Squaw Valley. It poured rain the entire time we were there! We did take a real honeymoon/graduation present for me the following May to Cancun. We are so glad we did that before we had a baby, or were in the real world with no money!

I tag Alisha T., Kelly J., and Monste W.

Kylan did it!

It's finally happened - Ky has discovered that his legs can move when he is standing without holding onto anything and he has taken his first steps today. Being the mean parents we are, we have been dangling things just barely out of his reach all day so we can see him do it more! Pictures to come later!

He's Home!!

Kent did get home on Friday, sorry about the long delay, but between family being in town and our house going through another round of the stomach flu (poor Ky still has diaper rash even though he has hardly gone in his diaper) this is the first chance I've gotten to update!

Kent did get home at 12:22 on Friday after his long long long trip home. He said that what happened was his travel arrangements had gotten messed up and so while everyone else he was supposed to be going home with got to leave South Africa on Tuesday, he had to stay an extra day and travel with an elder from a different misssion. When they got to London his flight of course didn't exist (it left the day before) so they put them on a different plane and they missed their connection in LA. In LA the lady at the United counter was LDS so even though he had to fly to Salt Lake first, that was the quickest way to get him home on Friday (the direct flight didn't leave until 5:00pm). The church made them reservations at a hotel, but when they tried to check in they were told they couldn't without a credit card, but luckily a different employee was LDS and promised that they wouldn't charge any movies to the room. The other "wonderful" thing that happened to him was that they put his luggage on the wrong plane in London, so he didn't get it until Monday. BUT, he is finally home and that is all that matters! So here is how his first weekend went:

Friday: went to lunch with everyone at the airport (which was a lot less people than the day before due to coming home in the middle of a work day); shopping for some clothes to wear, which Kent hated because he HATES shopping, but he couldn't wear a suite all day anymore! Dinner with all the Adams Fam

Saturday: Big breakfast, followed by big lunch with the Adams' and family pictures then big dinner (Kent said we are feeding him too much and he isn't used to eating so much food)

Sunday: reported to the high council in the morning then told all who traveled here goodbye!

It was fun to have the whole Adam's family together! We took family pics and told my grandparents about their 50th wedding anniversary surprise we had planned (whole fam in Clear Lake the end of July).

Right now Kent and Kort are in Rexburg for the week while my parents are in Nashville, TN.

Well, that's about all. Sorry for the LONG post, but it might be the last for another week or so - I am doing another long term sub job, but it shouldn't be too bad. Kelly will be out for 3 weeks, but the middle week is spring break and there are two half days during the last week and she is going to come in for AP Government during that last week!

Everyone waiting again - happy that we discovered the comfortable chairs this time!

The first pic of Kent! My mom was clapping (so embarassing)

Very happy parents!

Everyone at Lunch - Kent requested no rice or pasta!

Hanging out at the house afterwards

Ky and grandpa - don't they look just alike!

Kal and my cousin Cy - he is only 7 months old and only a couple pounds less than Ky

Kylan was exhausted after family pics - he slept on about 4 different people for about 3 hours! We just kept passing him around.

Still Not Home!!!!

No, Kent is not home right now. Right now he is on a plane going from LA to . . . SALT LAKE and then here. Apparently, Kent's flight from London to LA was canceled - my mom saw this, so called Salt Lake who told her that Kent must have been put on a different flight since they hadn't heard from him, but that they didn't know which one due to privacy laws. We all go up to the airport or come over to airport (those who live in Reno) and we wait and wait until we see that "Kent's" plane has landed. Then we all stare at the poor people who came in on that flight, and once 7:15 rolls around and we still haven't seen Kent, my mom calls Salt Lake again (who she left her cell phone number with in case he misses his connection) and finds out he did miss his connection in LA, there are no more planes coming to Reno and he will be arriving at 12:22pm the next day! Felt like Christmas had suddenly been taken away!

So, we drove all the way home. We did get to talk to Kent, and of course he is more disappointed then we are, so here comes round two of picking Kent up. Hopefully things go smoothly today!
P.S. I don't normally take my child out in public in his P.J.'s, actually he was dressed really cute, but he pooped out of everything on the way to Reno and I forgot to pack extra pants (nothing got on the shirt that I had packed an extra of).

Another fun day!

First of all - 28 hours and 35 minutes until Kent is here (he is on his way to London right about now)!
Sorry, another post with no pics, but Ky and I have been having a great day! Grandma Sorensen called this morning and ended up coming over shortly afterwards with Tonya and Bradon to go walking. After walking, she went to a discussion with the sister missionaries and Tonya and Bradon stayed at our house to play. The boys took a bath and had a ton of fun, although my child's incessant splashing made Bradon a little nervous (we took lots of video). It was then close enough to lunch that we decided to feed all the guys at lunch, so Grandma went and got the three of us Sonic and Tonya and I made the quiche. Then, everyone came over and ate and hung out. Needless to say Ky is exhausted and sound asleep and I am going to go take a shower!
We are so blessed to have so much family in town!
