My baby turned 14. I can't believe how quickly time goes by. He was just born- there is no way he's already in 8th grade! He is so sweet! He always promised that he'd never be too big to snuggle & he has lived up to that promise! I'm the most blessed mom ever. Happy Birthday buddy. I love you so much!!!
To celebrate Marty & Sarah's anniversary we went to Mesquite with a group of our bff's. We are blessed to have each of them in our lives! Good times!!
We have been blessed with a beautiful new niece Addison. She was born 9-9-09 at 10:16 pm. She was 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 inches long. Congratulations Derin & Marilee and welcome to the world precious little one!
My mom came to visit us for a long (but way too short) weekend. It was so dreamy spending time with her. She shared so much with us but the highlight was when she and Mike let us all look through their huge telescope! It was amazing to see the rings of Saturn & all the gorgeous stars! Shelley & Adam and Sarah & Marty and all the kids came to visit too. We had such a great time!
My baby brother Billy and his beautiful wife Ashley had a baby! His name is Charles William Johnson III and they are calling him Will. He was born 8-26-06 at 5:24 am. He was 8 lbs. 15 oz. 22 in. long! Congrats Billy and Ashley and welcome to the world little one!
We had so much fun at Mar's baby shower! We can't wait to welcome baby Addison to the family!! Derin & Marilee are going to be incredible parents!
In the early 80's there was this beautiful, young college graduate with a very wealthy family. She decided to come to Utah on a ski trip with some friends. On her vacation, she met a musician in one of the hot local bands. They hit it off immediately and fell head over heels in love. They were quickly married and had a beautiful baby boy.
Kinda weird that the Stixx logo keeps turning out blue. It is supposed to be red! Anyway...Justin has been playing on 2 teams this year-
Stixx for super league and Cubs for city league.
Yeah, we've been insanely busy, but what could be more fun- especially since Emily & Brock have been to most of the games! It is such a phenomenal way to spend good quality time with the family! Justin has played very well & of course we are so proud. We've had lots of friends and family come out to watch and it had made our summer so fun. He has played short stop more this season than ever, along with pitching, 2nd, & 3rd base. He really wants to catch so we'll see if he gets to do that more. This is such a fun time of year for us!
We had kind of a "mini" reunion this year. It was so amazing to see the faces we hadn't seen for so long. This is just a pre-cursor to the "big one" in 2010!! It was so much fun but far too short. Can't wait to see more folks next year. We just don't get together near enough anymore. It makes me so sad that my kids hardly know my side of the family or have no idea what our reunions used to be like. I don't really know what happened. Growing up we had reunions every year and we looked forward to them more than Christmas. My favorites were in Logan where we'd camp & play baseball in the park & had games and talent shows at the little hall next to the park. Our family was so close. Those were some good times. Hopefully this year was the beginning of the new Johnson Family Reunions!!
I got to enjoy a dreamy getaway with my man for a few days at Club Med in Cancun, Mexico.It was a little eerie because there were no people at all. Many of the nearby resorts were closed. In fact, we got there the first day Club Med opened after the swine flu scare. We had the place to ourselves. It was amazing! We went on an excursion by catamaran to La Isla Majures. We did some snorkeling on the way and stopped for some lunch on a private island. It was absolutley fabulous. I love to spend time with Gary like this- it is just so important to get away from it all with your best friend. Good times!!
Mother's day is one of my favorite days of the year! Cuz I get to PLANT FLOWERS! YAY!! I find it very interesting how gardening and mothering are so much alike. We have to continually nurture both plants and kids- feed & water them, talk nice to them, and work hard all year to keep the weeds out of their lives! I am grateful every minute of every day for my kiddos and for God giving me such a precious gift. Motherhood rocks!! I want to thank my mom, step-moms, mother-in-law and my aunts who had such a big part of raising me. You are all amazing women and I appreciate you more than you know!
Brock & Em have known each other since 3rd grade. They took notice of each other at Em's birthday party and he asked her to prom! As always, she looked beautiful! Brock looked great too!
Nothin' like a friendly ball game with yer pals!! It was finally warm enough to play! We spent the day at the park soakin' in the sun & some good bonding time. We love these families and it was such a fun treat- what a great beginning to summer!!
My brother Billy and his wife Ashley are expecting their first little one on August 22nd. He's gonna be a baby boy! They are naming him Charles William Johnson III and calling him Will.
Gary's brother Derin and his wife Marilee are expecting their first little one on September 9th. She's gonna be a baby girl! They are naming her Addison.
Bring on those baby toes! Your crazy kissin' aunt awaits!!!
Em turned 16! We wanted to give her a dream party so we asked her what she wanted to do. She said she wanted an Alice in Wonderland party. I was a little apprehensive, after all she wasn't turning 8! To our happy surprise it actually turned out really cool- and she had a great turn out! She had 30 friends celebrate with her & she had the time of her life! Success!!
I love you!!
