My Little Soccer Star

Watching Cooper play soccer is the highlight of my week. This year he was such a different player than last year. He absolutely loves it, and he works so hard. He has improved so much! Thanks to everyone who came to watch him.

My little escape artist. Everytime I let him out of his seat in the stroller, he found some way to dissapear within minutes. One time he got half way out to the parking lot before I caught him.

Back in July we took an amazing hike up to the Grotto in Payson Canyon. It was my first time going, and I would definately recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there. It's only about a 10 minute hike (if that), so it's perfect for little kids. It was so beautiful...I felt like I was in Hawaii when I saw the waterfall at the end. Now would be the perfect time to go with the leaves changing.

This Kid Cracks Me Up!

So...I'd like to introduce you to Parkers pirate face. This is just one of the many funny faces he pulls. He also loves to talk out of the side of his mouth with his eye half way closed. He is at such a fun age, and I just can't get enough of him. The other day we were in Coopers kindergarten class, and he found a hoola hoop (which he calls a hoop a loop), he started to spin it around him saying to me "Mom, this is how you do it..you shake your booty like this". He is always making me smile and laugh. I love my little Parker.

Bridger Kent Johnson--He's finally here!

Our little Bridger joined us on June 8th at 7:33 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz (my smallest yet) and was 18 inches long. The delivery went great, but was a little scary when he came out w/ the umbilical cord around his neck. He's doing great though, and is a healthy and good little baby. I can't believe what a miracle he is. I feel sooo blessed!

Cute little guy! We all love him so much and are so happy he's finally here. Having 3 kids is going to be crazy busy...wish me luck.

This is how we all felt after bringing Bridger home...newborns wear you out!

Cooper can't get enough of him..he's such a great big brother.

I'm so lucky that he loves his swing. He can sleep in there for hours..gotta love that.

Hangin out with daddy- He looks so miniature in this picture

All bundled up and sleeping peacefully in the hospital...it's hard to catch him with his eyes open

The proud parents!!!

The whole happy family........I think I'm a little outnumbered?

The boys just love him to death! Cooper wants to hold him all the time, and Parker just stares at him and points out every little detail that he loves about him. "Mom, he has beautiful eyes"..it's so cute!

GIRLS TRIP!

Everyone needs a good girls trip once in a while...right? This year we headed down to St. George for a little R&R from everyday life. It was so nice to go out to eat w/out the kiddos, layout and get fried (I think pregnancy makes your skin more sensitive), go shopping, go to a movie (17 again---so cute), and just chat w/ the girls. Thanks Trista, Angie, Marcie, Jeanette, Brookly, and Lara for making it so much fun!!! Oh, and I know I heard the rat in the bathroom! Love you all!!!

Marcie & Jeanette in line to eat @ The Pizza Factory (we love you breadtwists!)

Me & my mom (Some whacked out guy @ the pizza factory thought that Angie was mine and Jeanettes mom...even though I'm 8 mths. prego....I don't know what he was thinking! Don't pay any attention to him ang, you look soooo young!

Marcie & Jeanette ---you girls look amazing!

Angie looking so unbelievably hot in her swimsuit

WE LOVE EASTER!

All I have to say is that this Easter was much better than last year (no lost shoes, and screaming baby etc...). The Easter Bunny came bright and early @ 7am so that Jeff could run off to his bishopric meetings. When he got home from church we had an easter egg hunt (inside of course), then went to his parents home for a great Easter dinner and another egg hunt (outside this time, even though it was a bit chilly). There is something so fun about watching your kids do little things like finding an egg. Overall it was a great day!


Love these boys!!!

The cousins who enjoyed the hunt (missed you Ari)

Me with the boys...covering my big fat belly--I am so sneaky!

We had to wake Parker up for the bunny....it explains the face.

I'm not quite sure why Cooper is in his undies....I didn't even notice till now. Oh well, makes for a great picture.

San Diego Trip

We had a blast going to San Diego in February. It was so green-it was beautiful! Too bad we chose one of the coldest weekends to go...oh well, it was still 20 degrees warmer there then here, and I could actually feel the sun again-that was nice. We all loved Sea World...the dolphin and Shamu show, the sharks and flamingos, pretty much everything there. Cooper said his favorite part of the trip was being able to stay in a hotel room w/ bunk beds. Kids are so easy to please. We borrowed a GPS from some friends (thanks Kim & Tyler) and it saved our lives many times. Jeff & I tend to be a little direction clueless most times, so this really was a lifesaver...I'm sold I have to get one. Probably one of the highlights of the trip for me was going to the San Diego Temple. It is unbelievably beautiful!!!!

The kids had so much fun at Legoland! It got pretty chilly by the end of the day, but it didn't bother them, or Jeff much...just me the cold wuss. It amazes me what they can build w/ Legos. President Obamas inauguration was pretty impressive to me, and all the cities they built w/ Legos.
