You're Invited to Sofie's Baptism!

If the weather is nice, we'll be swimming in the Hancock pool that day. We'll swim in the morning before the baptism (from 10 AM on) and then afterwards also, if it's not too chilly. Feel free to join us either time - bring a swimsuit and towel if you dare! We hope to see you all there.

Christmas Day!

We had a great time at Mom and Dad's on Christmas Day. Delicious food and wonderful company were enjoyed by all.

Uncle Randy plays Hungry Hungry Hippo with Lauren and Evie.
He was rather competitive and won every round!

The girls all loved their new hats from Aunt Paula.

Team Mortensen

I saw this picture on Erin's blog, and I absolutely love it. I don't know if everyone is participating in the bike race or if some are just eye candy, but either way they look so darn cool. :) But no matter who is racing, I have a feeling that they're going to win!

Nellis Air Show

This weekend is the Nellis Air Force Base air show that they do every Veteran's Day weekend. Nellis is about 5 miles east of us, so although we didn't go, I watched some of the Thunderbird aerial show while doing some yardwork yesterday. They're doing it again today and the loud engines are all over outside as they fly around for today's show. We went to the show 4 years ago with our Boys Town group, so these pics are from that outing (and the old camera we had at the time). The Thunderbirds' home base is Nellis and they're home now for their last show of the year after a world tour and about 73 shows in 2009. I have always been fascinated by airplanes and helicopters, and the Thunderbirds in particular as mom and dad took me to the airshow at Hill Field several times over my younger years. Dad also got me an autographed Thunderbirds framed photo that hung in my bedroom when I was growing up.
