August 2009 Heartache



In Loving Memory.....

(Deputy Sorensen LOVED his job)

So it is about time I get back to the blog. I have put this off long enough and have to post it so I can be done and move on (until the next breakdown)!



On August 5, 2009 I lost my only sibling in a tragic car accident. He lived long enough for us to say goodbye. He left behind the "love of his life" and his two precious children, his mother, his nieces who adored him and his nephew that will miss him, a brother-in-law that was more than a brother but a BEST FRIEND and a sad sister that has been shook to the core by this!


It is Phil's birthday today.....he was to be 28.



Philip Andrew Sorensen.....some of the best and worst pics to follow:






Philip always had a SMILE!


He loved Michelle.

Loved his kids (and being goofy!)



He loved his Dad(Andy)..also died, Sept 14, 1999, Mom(Barbara), Sister (Jennie-me)
Christmas 1984



To all those who knew Phil or met him just once, thanks for being his friend. He touched many lives and especially mine. We had a bond that will not be broken by death. We will see each other again.
He was a jokester and lovable person, although you didn't want to be around when he was in a bad mood. He always tried to have a smile and if he could help in any situation he would.


When I think of Philip it will be fond memories. Thanks to everyone who called, e-mailed, sent cards, came to the viewings, came to the funeral, participated in the funeral, to my sister-in-law who is a ROCK, to my mom, to my Grandma Toomer who stayed by his side as they loaded in the life flight, to my Uncle John who was there also, to my Aunt Karla who could be there as a fireman on the scene of the accident, to Mr. Price who called 911, to all the emergency workers and hospitals that saved by darling neice, to my mother-in-law who met us at the hospital to take my kids at 3 a.m., to my Mom AGAIN for being there for me, to all the many, many friends and acquaintences of both Phil and I...Thank you. I love you all and Phil I love you with all my HEART. (I will play 10 fruits on you when I get to Heaven so you better be thinkin' of a list of fruits ....make it 20 fruits for leavin' us early!)

July Adventures

Our July started with a camp trip with my side of the family...here are a few photos.


Then a week later we went camping again with my brother's family...



Then we spent 4 days with Jared's family...


Then went to the lake....


Jared took care of our garden....(or plantation as I like to call it....)


We finished off the month at my mom's house with a scrapbooking extravaganza in her basement with me, her, my aunt from Nevada and my grandma. We had a great time and some extremely late nights/early morning adventures (not to mention the mouse hunting breaks we took)...we exterminated 5 or 6 mice with handy dandy mops, brooms and shoes. I was on the couch throwing objects at them mostly (I like to call myself the mouse scouter), Susan had the broom and Jared manuevered them out of the corners with the mop...it was a scrapbooking adventure we will never forget! Thanks mom...hope we got them all because we know how much you love the company!
