Sorensen Bugz

For those of you who did not see the video of Small Bugs on the horse, here are some links to see them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JaDuo78K8Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88yycP9_mTo

Small Bugz has been taking a course at school with RADkids (http://www.radkids.org/)  He has learned many different techniques to escape any danger he may encounter. Here he is meeting the RedMan Learning it is okay to really kick him Starting the final course to graduate.  (The helmet was too big on him!  I got to play the "safe" person that they told after the "stranger" was trying to lure them.) Attacking "Bob" with peppering the eyes. click this link to see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q49w7lsX0Y His class after graduation.

We were in Costco the other day and decided to try out the Flatouts.  I love wraps, especially is someone else makes them.  They had recipes inside the pack so we tried some.  We made pizza on them one night and Small Bugz loved them!  He ate the whole thing and the calories were less than 300 ( would say more like 200) for the whole thing and it was filling.  Next time we may try the tomato and cream sauce instead of traditional pepperoni. Has anyone else tried anything fun with these Flatouts??  If so, what did you do?

Are people getting dumber or is it just me? So today we were on a mission to get a lot of errands run within a four hour period.  Every place we went to had some really not smart people.  (except Kohl's)  We are at Ikea and walking in the parking lot and there is this suburban backing up the whole length of the isle because he was too lazy to go around to park his vehicle in the loading zone.  He about hit two cars that were turning into the isle to park.  And he kept right on going not caring that those cars were there!  Then we are heading to the Apple store (Yes, Grace, I got a new computer - now I can actually use some of the new features that have come out in the last five or so years!)  We are at an intersection and two cars pull out into our lane so the car in front of us as well as us have to move over so we do not rear end them.  It was not like we were running a red light or anything and they could have waited as there were no more car...

So yesterday I was having one of those days.  You know the kind where you think that you are all alone.  You feel that you have no friends.  No one wants to do anything with you and you think that if you were to do something that you have no one to call in the first place to go do something with.  You just wonder why you are here on earth.  So as I walked out to get the mail, the girl I visit teach happens to be driving by (I personally think that she is one of the "popular" ones in the ward and everyone knows her and how sad that she has me for a visiting teacher, right?)  She actually stops and unrolls her window and says Hi to me.  Here I am thinking that no one even notices that I am alive and here is someone that stops just to say Hi - she wanted nothing else - just to wave Hi and drive on. Then today, I was still kind of feeling the same way and I had my mission service to do.  There were so many great and small things that happened today ...

Small Bugz went sledding for the first time this past week.  He was really afraid to go until we made him get on with Big Bugz and pushed them down the hill.  He came back up and said how cool that was. This is at one of the parks by the house.  We did not stay long because it started to get crowded and it was very windy and cold!

Christmas was exciting this year for Small Bugz.  He got all the Legos he could handle (well, I am sure he could have handled more if we had gotten more!) This year it seemed kind of strange for Christmas.  I don't know if it was the fact that Small Bugz went to school right up to the 23rd or if it was the fact that I had all the shopping done and wrapped and under the tree at Thanksgiving.  We actually stuck to our budget this year.  It is much harder to get things when you have a budget to stick to that included the stocking items too. We started (I say started because we could not stand to watch more than 30 mins of it) to watch this crazy show called "What Would Jesus Buy?"  It is a documentary about this preacher guy who is over the Stop Shopping Church - yes, that is really the name of the church.  He had good points but the way he went about doing it was so wrong on so many levels!  He went into a Disney Store and started shouting that Dis...
