Some pictures from the last minute wedding shower

that Mom and I threw for Jaron and Jill

Rhonda made this cake and it was amazing.

It had a layer of raspberry and a layer of

chocolate ganache....so good.

Does my peanut need another haircut?

And it's that time of the year again!!!

7 months and getting close to crawling!! We're

not ready! We need to seriously babyproof this

house.

Here's our cutie! And my mom said she looks like me,

but she's cuter than I was. I think she's pretty spot on -

what do you think? :)

I know I'm pretty darn cute...Sadie's just cuter :)

1st haircut!! I didn't think she needed it or

didn't want them to cut off her curls...but now

after seeing these before and after pictures I

can see that she really needed it :)

This is how Sadie sleeps everynight. On

her tummy with her butt in the air :)

Sadie is sick :( This video may make your heart hurt - so be prepared.

And maybe say a little prayer that she gets better soon!

4 months old!

2010-12-28T19:53:00.004-06:00

Sadie was helping Dad make Christmas goodies! :)

Sadie moved when I was trying to write "4"

so it looks a little ridiculous. I wasn't going

to waste another diaper :)

Good job holding your head up Sadie!

Pretty dress from Grandma Lassen!

Sitting in my bumpo

hating my bumpo

Straining backwards to watch Jurassic Park

with mom and dad. I was in our office working

on some stuff and I come back out to the living

room and Seth informs me that she may have

seen the part where the velociraptor eats

the Australian guy. Awesome.

Sadie got her first round of shots and did very

well - but she did take big shuddering breaths

the rest of day.

Look at me go!

2010-10-09T20:40:00.004-05:00

Bath time!

Not sure how this is comfortable - but she

seemed to like it!

And were starting to see smiles!

Sadie's first bottle! She did great.

Go Hawks!

Yay tummy time! Actually this is what happens

with every tummy time - she ends up with her

face directly down and screaming. Sadie does

not like tummy time.

And then you roll her over and she looks like this.

But then you feed her until she's ready to burst and

she gives you this "i'm really full and happy" face.

We just had a crazy storm roll through town

and got this amazing footage after the storm.

Double Rainbow all the way. Oh yeah. :)

In case you are not familiar with "Double Rainbow":

This was an amazing sunset the other night,

just thought I would share.

This is me. Baby Van Gorp may come anytime

she would like. Sooner than later please :)

the Rose Garden and took some pictures.

It was lovely. :)

Memories

2010-07-17T21:39:00.003-05:00

It's hot and humid. We were sitting around

the house lamenting about our long lost pool.

Then mom called the people who live in our

old house and asked if we could come swim and

they said "we were just thinking about how we're

going out of town and felt bad that our pool

wouldn't get used - and we were thinking about

you guys!" S0 we went swimming - just like the

old days - thanks God :)

Happy 4th of July!

2010-07-05T20:58:00.004-05:00

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Seth and I were able to go to the lakes once

I was done with work on Sunday. We drove

the boat out to the middle of the lake and

watched the fireworks from there - it was

very beautiful and entertaining! :)

Micah and Paige

One of the highlights of fireworks was the boats

that would drive through all the parked boats

too quickly - everyone would yell at them, telling

them to "SLOW DOWN!" and then usually within

10 seconds or so the DNR would pull them over

and everyone would cheer and clap :)

Here are a couple videos of this happening - we

watched this happen about four times :)

Update

2010-07-02T19:33:00.004-05:00

Well hello everyone! Just thought I'd post a

little update. So its been a very busy week for

us. Seth has broken his 4 year streak of injury

free-ness - he dislocated his shoulder on Monday

during our slowpitch softball game. He was heading

home for an in the park homerun and it was a close

play and the catcher ended up landing on him. It was

a stressful couple of minutes until it popped back into

place! And we only had his car at the game - his stickshift

car - so poor guy had to endure a pretty jerky ride home.

He's doing pretty well now - in a sling and he's not supposed

to use it much for the next two weeks - we'll see how he

does with that!

Other news - I saw an ad for an amazing plant. It's

called a bloomerang lilac bush and its a dwarf lilac

bush that blooms the entire summer!!! Sounds

amazing huh? I ordered it online in April and

FINALLY received it last week. It was much

smaller than I had anticipated - about 5 inches tall.....

So we'll see how it goes...hopefully I don't kill it

since it's so tiny and frail!

The nursery is coming along splendidly! Arlin and

Janene made us some amazing vinyl designs for

the walls - they match the bedding. It looks so great!!

Baby Shower

2010-06-17T19:18:00.002-05:00

My awesome coworkers threw me a baby shower.

The food was amazing and I had a great time :)

The spread

The hostesses

Diaper Cake!

Yay gift card! :)

Memorial Day

2010-06-01T10:16:00.004-05:00

Seth and I got to enjoy Memorial Day at the

lakes with the fam. It was a good time and we're

both burnt now - though Seth is much more burnt

than I am :) We had 3 fans running in our room

last night - it was like a wind tunnel and I loved it :)

Nieces!

Kentucky!

2010-05-04T08:51:00.007-05:00

Seth and I took a mini-vacation to Lexington this

past weekend. We finally got to meet baby Ben!

He's a cutie :) We babysat the first day and it went

pretty well - maybe I can do this someday :)

Taking care of a baby does wear you out.

We walked the grounds at Ashland on one of the

nice weather days. Unfortunately Lexington had

crazy rain storms for two of our days down there.

But the other days were beautiful.

Seth and I got to go inside Rupp Arena - it was cool.

We watched about 8 hours of Derby coverage on the

day of the Kentucky Derby. Lianne made us "Hot Brown",

mint juleps (mine was made with Fresca instead of bourbon :)),

and Derby pie. It was all very yummy!

I'll post a few more pictures once I get them from

Mike and Lianne :) It was a fun trip - I like Kentucky :)

I had to work the evening shift last

night, and then was on call all night and

was on the phone three times, and then

had to work a 10 hour shift today...

I'm beat.

And didn't really feel like posing for pictures

and Seth didn't really feel like taking pictures.

So we were both crabby and it was not that fun.

This picture shows how I really felt.

But this super cute outfit from my mom

perked me up a little.

Seth is a pain in the rear. He is

a buttface.

Easter Hunt!

2010-04-06T17:11:00.003-05:00

Hope everyone had a great Easter! The fam

came over for a little bit in the afternoon and

we had a little Easter candy hunt - it was fun :)

And I'll just add this for fun... :)

Hi there!

2010-03-27T15:53:00.006-05:00

Hey everybody! I thought I would post a

few preggo pictures. I asked Seth to help

me take a few pictures...this was his first attempt.

There we go..this is a little better.

So not really looking at the camera - but

check out the groovy coloring job by my favorite

hair dresser Emily. :)

Seth was feeling left out so I let him do

a few preggo pictures. He had some pretty

severe red eyes so I did some red eye

reduction but his eyes maybe look a

little funky yet. But I've seen worse. See below...

YIKES!

(you may need to go to facebook and look through

Jenna's pictures to find this one (picture 16

of Jenna's album "when we get together") - a larger view

makes for some fantastic laughs :) )

A farewell picture - Seth's impersonation of

a Bodnar picture :)

Its been awhile...

2010-03-14T21:20:00.002-05:00

We have some pretty exciting news to share.

We're having a baby this August and we just

found out what we're having. The first clip

is when we found out :)

In case you didn't catch it - it's a girl!!!

An Update

2010-01-20T19:35:00.004-06:00

This weather has made for some very

beautiful scenery. The trees are fabulous.

Ty had a tourney this weekend and his

ginormous team won the whole thing.

Here are a couple of clips from Micah's JV

game versus MOC-FV. It was a pretty awful

game to watch - not the playing, more like the

refereeing. Micah had 4 fouls in the 1st quarter.

Our crowd was pretty upset and it was making me

feel stressed - I don't like when people yell.

But thankfully Micah and his team overcame

adversity and pulled off a win in overtime. Micah

played an instrumental role in the 4th quarter :)

Here's a little taste of what our crowd was

freaking out about - Pat got called for

a foul on this play. wow.

I got my results this week from my certification

exam - I passed! Now I get to add a few more

initials after my name :) I was pretty nervous to

open the envelope, but was very happy once I did.

Later that night, Seth informed me that I could

have just looked at who the letter was addressed

to to see if I passed. He was right :)

The NAIA national volleyball championship was

held in Sioux City this year and Seth and I went

for a few of the games. It was fun. I took a little

video between games because the number of

volleyballs being hit into the air was quite

mesmerizing. :)

And its basketball season!! Hooray! Here's just

a little clip from Micah's game vs. Heelan.

Oh, hi there!

2009-11-29T16:45:00.004-06:00

Happy Thanksgiving! I thought it was probably

about time for an update. First, I wanted to give you

an idea of what Hawkeye parties look like at

the Lassen house. This first picture gives you a

taste of the kind of crowds that convene for

Lassen Hawkeye parties. :)

I drove home to Sioux Center on Friday with

this beautiful backdrop. It was lovely.

We went to a scrimmage of Micah's on Saturday.

This is a Spencer player...we don't understand

the picture...they don't want to make baskets??

Rockstar Ty Lassen has been taking drum lessons

and played during the worship services at church on

Sunday. He did a great job - it was cool.

Mmmmmmmm

Homemade pretzels. Yum.

We made a dozen last night - they are

Another Hawkeye Win! Doesn't matter how you

get it - as long as its a win :)

We got to go to the Alumni Tailgate and eat

some yummy breakfast food.

Micah and his breaded breakfast treats :)

Murray and his new toy - its a tire. You would

think a toy like this would be indestructible...

he was eating rubber bits off the tread in about

2 hours.

Oreo balls. Yum.

Swine Flu and ....umm....we may never know.

Dr. Ben Dover, proctology

Did you figure out who everyone was??

Ghoul-lei, babysitter, Jon and Kate, Cereal killer,

Quarterback with a chip on his shoulder, quarter

pounder with cheese.

Mud

2009-10-18T21:16:00.002-05:00

Just thought I would share a few photos from

Micah's game on Friday. It was wet, cold, and

muddy. Yay for October football!

Micah is number 7. Oh you can't see him? Well

he's the one covered in mud. Maybe that doesn't help...

But you'll be pleased to know that Dad and Mom

went right to work once Micah got home, and all his

equipment is cleaner than its ever been. They took

his pads into mom's shower and hosed them off

and Dad had Micah's jersey on the soak cycle for at

least 2 hours. :)

Fabulous Football

2009-09-27T21:19:00.003-05:00

Yay for great football games! It started on

Friday with Micah's home game vs. Central Lyon.

FYI - Sioux Center has not beaten Central Lyon

in FIFTEEN years!

Here is a clip of Micah running for the first down.

4th quarter - 12 seconds left in the game - tied 7 to 7.

QB sneak - was it successful?

That's right - my brother won the game :)

Here he comes through the student tunnel.

On to Saturday - GO HAWKS!

What an amazing victory :) Micah had about

ten friends over (plus all of us) so the noise

during the blocked punt and the rest of the

phenomenal 4th quarter was deafening.

It was a blast.

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=D2&Dato=20090926&category=SPORTS020502&Lopenr=909260814&Ref=PH

And finally - Sunday. The Van Gorps are huge Vikings

fans so we watched the last five minutes of the game.

Vikings were down 20-24 with seconds left and I

couldn't help but think - three great wins in one

weekend? Nah..it can't be. But lo and behold, Mr. Favre

connects with this guy (Lewis?? Seth had never seen him

before :) ) for the winning touchdown. It was down to the

centimeter but they pulled it off.

Cousin Brad

2009-09-21T18:44:00.005-05:00

Now with your latest installment of the family

fun show. Micah had a great game last Friday - 35 to 6!

And what's family fun without boisterous cousins?

Brad would continually shout "That's my cousin!!"

whenever Micah had a good play.

During the game Brad and I discussed Christmas plans

and our desire to get the whole family together for a

good ol' family bash. (And a baby shower for Lianne :))

Brad was on board and proceeded to tell me what

would be required on this party's menu. Interested?

Okay here ya go:

Pizza Ranch

White angel food cake

Dr. Pepper

Orange slices

Circus peanuts

No bake cookies (must be thin and slightly bent)

Peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses

Rice krispie bars

Grandma Lassen's pies

Here are some videos of Micah's touchdown passes

and how Mom acts during every play of Micah's

games. She's a bit of a nervous nelly :)

Cute :) Rhonda and Sherwin were reminiscing

about their first date and watching Saturday

Night Live and how Sherwin and Dad thought

SNL was hilarious and Rhonda thought it was

the dumbest show she's ever seen :)

Ty and his killer drum set

We were all sitting around eating yummy "lunch"

and waiting for Micah to come home. And here he is!

Brad commented that Micah was a "real live ken doll"

While discussing the benefits of fresh fruits and

vegetables, Brad commented "the only fruit I know

of are certs and starbursts."

Micah was not super excited for his first highschool

dance so Brad tried to pump him up and teach him

how to properly dance with his lady friend.

I took this shot as we left Sergeant Bluff VERY early

Saturday morning for Iowa City. Pretty cool huh?

One More

2009-09-13T14:57:00.002-05:00

I forgot to post this video from this weekend.

Boys are naughty. Seth was trying to deflect footballs

so that they would hit people. Well this backfired

on him as Trevor decided to do it back to him.

His jaw hurts today.

Fambily

2009-09-13T14:05:00.005-05:00

Micah had another football game this Friday.

Unfortunately they didn't win - but Micah

did well and is always fun to watch! Here

are a few clips.

This was a great throw and catch but got called

back for offensive pass interference - what

do you think?

Yum.

So tough.

Beatles Rock Band!!

Here a few pictures from Micah's first game.

Paige's mom took some cool shots so I

thought I would share them.

Friday Night Lights

2009-09-05T18:08:00.006-05:00

Game #2 - Micah once again did excellent work.

Unfortunately we just barely lost and to the Dutch.

But it was still fun and Micah did great!

I liked this - Micah's

name painted on a high schooler's back.

long throw

another great throw

woo hoo touchdown!!

almost a touchdown!

Fireproof

2009-08-29T21:15:00.003-05:00

Seth and I watched Fireproof tonight. Here is our

conversation about 20 minutes into the movie.

Don't ask me why..but I thought it was hilarious

and I couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes.

S: Is that Kirk Cameron's brother?

A: It is Kirk Cameron.

S: Oh.

Micah Rocks

2009-08-28T21:56:00.009-05:00

Tonight was Micah's first football game of the year.

This was also his first time as the starting QB.

He. is. the. coolest.

Touchdown #1

Touchdown #2

Beautiful background :)

Touchdown #3

He played great and was super happy :) Mom

was pretty pumped too :)

2 years!

2009-08-12T21:26:00.005-05:00

Seth and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary yesterday and

Seth got me red roses - they were beautiful! I love flowers

and I love my husband! :)

But when I got home tonight there were MANY more flowers!

These are the same flowers we ordered for our wedding

and put on every table. fiftyflowers.com - check it out, really

good deals and dependable delivery :)

And now...all together!

Sioux City Air Show

2009-08-04T21:38:00.005-05:00

We went to the air show on Sunday - it was hot, loud,

big, and very exciting. I have a tendency to cry during

the opening acts of shows (ex. The Lion King, Riverdance,

etc.) - and when that first F-16 started flying around I

actually felt a lump in my throat. I'm the weirdest

person on this planet. Now enjoy the pictures!!

Micah is lying down in the refueling plane - where the men

watch the planes refuel - this is one of the same planes that

Dad got to ride in and where he got to lay to watch the refueling.

This plane was full of 1970's computers, but the crew

kept telling us that they work just fine. They actually

had a mission scheduled after the air show.

You're gonna get hop-ons

"Cadillac of the sky!"

Table Rock Lake

2009-08-03T20:16:00.009-05:00

The entire Van Gorp family traveled to Table Rock

Lake in Missouri last week for some good vacation fun.

Our house during the vacation

Silly boys.

Seth jumped the wake and it was super cool.

I swear Jana and I enjoyed tubing...I swear!

See?!

Jana is brave and jumped off a cliff. She received

a bruise for her bravery.

Luke found a snuggie.

We went to the Silver Dollar City amusement

park one day - everyone enjoyed this ride.

I took the pictures....willingly. :)

And now...some cliff jumping

Goin' Clubbin'

2009-07-22T20:15:00.005-05:00

What does this face say to you? This look of

pure joy? It says "I got new golf clubs."

Jaron got new clubs too - Happy Birthday to him! :)

Seth's new clubs - its hard to see but there is

an orange accent - Seth likes the orange.

And now some house updates.

Before...

AFTER!

These crazy caterpillars showed up out of nowhere

and are now living in my dill plant. Do you think they

are eating my dill? They don't seem to move, but do

seem to be growing bigger and bigger....

parsley, dill, tarragon, and mint

Summer Fun

2009-07-12T16:33:00.004-05:00

I had to work on Saturday, but after work Mom

and Dad took us out for dinner and then came back

to the house for a nice fire in our fire pit. We received

this fire pit for Christmas and hadn't gotten to use it

yet so it was nice to finally break it in :)

Mom and Dad went to Shopko after dinner and a

couple of foam swords caught Dad's eye. So he bought

them and this was the end result of the swords. Enjoy.

Family

2009-06-29T16:17:00.004-05:00

We almost had the entire family home this week!

We missed you Mike! We played some golf, went

swimming, and had some good lake time. We

took a little boat ride and turned the corner and

saw this cloud front moving in. It was beautiful

but we put the boat away just in time before a

little downpour.

After the quick storm we were treated with the most

amazing rainbow I have ever seen. It was a complete rainbow

stretching over the water and was so bright!

Finally - a little video update of our friend Jace.

He prefers to give "knucks" instead of the customary

high five.

Iowa City

2009-06-23T20:18:00.005-05:00

Okay actually these first pictures are in Sioux City .

I love golf pictures and hopefully I'll be posting many

more golf pictures this summer :)

Okay now well move to Iowa City.

Don't these ladies look super cool?

I'd like you to meet my crazy friends. I don't have a

single normal picture of these two. I tried taking

this picture three times. This was the best they

could come up with. :)

I always think of my dad when I see the giant whale

bones in the museum of natural history in Macbride hall.

He says he remembers looking at them when he was in

college here.

Seth visiting his regular spot

We went to eat at Three Samurai and it. was. amazing.

While driving home from Iowa City we ran into a few

scattered storms. It was odd - it would be raining and

then a minute later it would be blinding sunshine.

One of these little storms was off to the side of us and

I told Seth I thought it looked like the cloud was rotating.

Then I pointed out this little piece hanging down and told

Seth to check it out. Then we both watched this little thing

become a tornado!! It was crazy!!! And short-lived. By the time

I got my camera out it was dissipating. It was really cool :)

And to end the slideshow - my husband spent an entire

day outside golfing and then playing softball. He now has

a crazy farmer tan - or would you say accountant tan since

it has the 'V' from his v-neck polo that accountants wear? :)

Happy Father's Day!!

Hey Dads! Thanks for being great fathers!

We are so blessed to have you as our dads,

and want you to know that we appreciate

everything you have done and continue

to do for us! Thank you for being excellent

role models, and for teaching us what it means

to love unconditionally.

We love you!

It's getting closer!!

Birdies

2009-06-16T21:55:00.004-05:00

Seth really wanted to knock this nest down when

we power washed the house - but I persisted and

now I get to sit and watch this all day long - and I really

could too :) Baby birds are so ugly they're cute.

We are currently under a tornado watch - the sky

looks amazing.

The Other Arm

2009-06-10T13:10:00.004-05:00

Seth's arm from last week was nicely healed...and then

we played on Monday and he decided to tear up

the other arm. But it was worth it - it was an inside the

park homer and he slid into home - it was pretty close

but he was safe!

Here it is on day 2 - getting better!

Joel, a visiting pastor, has been here for the last

couple weeks, and had a birthday while here - so

we baked him a cake as he was away from home

during his b-day. Paul bought sparklers so we

had some fun :)

Summer Sports

2009-06-06T20:51:00.005-05:00

Seth and I are on the church softball team. Our team

name is "We Need 4 Outs" - which is pretty funny since

every other team's name is their church name. :)

Sethie sacrificed his body for a fly ball - something I

just don't see myself doing...

Seth and I went golfing for the first time this season

with some of our church friends. It was a good time and

I'm glad I have the rest of the summer to improve my game :)
