Happy Birthday Aiden and Ella!

I can't believe it has been six years since the twins joined our family. My how the time flies! It has been an incredibly awesome six years at that. They sure had a hard start to their lives, arriving 6 weeks premature and spending the first 4 weeks of their life in a NICU unit on oxygen and sitting in heating isolets with IV's and monitors. But here we are with two incredibly healthy and happy six year olds that are amazing their Mom and Dad every day with how smart, sweet, and amazing they are.

To celebrate their birthday we had a small friend party with a cowboy - cowgirl theme. We played a few games, crafts and cake and ice cream. Then for their birthday dinner it was Chuck-E-Cheese, yumm =). And finally a family get together on Saturday to finish off the weeks festivities.

I sure love my babies and am grateful every day that my life has been blessed with them. Ella has an incredible sense of humor and a charisma that makes everyone love her. And Aiden is the sweetest and kindest child and always willing to take care of his sisters. What a lucky mom I am.

Happy Birthday babies!

Dr. Seuss Day At School

Anyone that is close to our family knows that my kids LOVE Dr. Seuss! And Dr. Seuss's birthday is always a fun week at our house. The school had green eggs and ham for lunch which Abby thought was great and then the kids were able to dress up as Dr. Seuss characters on Friday. Ella and Abby wanted to be Cindy Lou Who and Aiden wanted to be The Cat In The Hat. It took us and extra 30 minutes to get ready for school - the hair alone was a major production, but they had a great time. We also read every Dr. Seuss book we own, which is about 20! My kid definetly hit their reading time. I love finding fun stuff to do with the kids that can be educational too!

Baby Maya

Well it has been forever since I have updated our blog and a lot has happened since then. Our little girl Maya arrived on January 28th 2011 @ 4:30 pm. We had expected her to arrive very early but she held out and was only 2 weeks early! She was 6 lbs. 6 oz. and 19 inches long. A beautiful, healthy and amazing little girl. The kids just love her to death and we have to try and control the mauling of her. She isn't a great sleeper and has made nights very hard for mom and dad but we love her all the same!

One More Makes 4!

So I think most people know by now but for those of you that don't - we are expecting Johnson baby #4 on February 14th 2011. We are getting pretty excited now that the initial shock has finally worn off. And all three of the kids are through the roof excited. Ella just keeps asking who she can tell next. They all want the baby to sleep in their room but we will have to work all of that out later. I am 14 weeks pregnant and so far things are going great. I have already had 2 ultrasound showing a happy and healthy little bean growing with a strong heartbeat of 165! So far so good. We will be having our 20 week ultrasound in late September and yes we will be finding out the sex! I am not a patience person an I want to know! But so does Kelly!

Abby Got Baptized!

I can't believe out little girl is 8 years old! Last Saturday my beautiful baby chose to get baptized and join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We are so proud of her for her descision and for the beautiful, sweet young lady she is growing into. She has been so excited for this and has been planning it for months. She of course got to go shopping and buy her baptism dress and then she was planning how she wanted her hair and which friends she wanted to invite. It was a rather stressful day for Mom and Dad but I think it all went well and turned out great. Thank you so much to all of our family and friends that came to support her. She is truly blessed to be surrounded by such great people!

Fourth of July

What a fun holiday weekend. On Saturday we had some chores to do around the house and some work stuff to do but we had a BBQ with just us in the evening, then we went over to Riverton Park and watched the big fireworks show. On Sunday we lit off fireworks in the circle with all the neighbors, the kids had so much fun hanging out with friends and lighting sparklers. They on Monday Kelly had the day off for the holiday, so we decided to got hike Timpanogos with the kids. It was a long hike but the kids were great troopers and had a lot of fun. We finished the day with Gammy coming down for dinner. Nothing too exciting but a fun holiday none the less.

Twins Preschool Graduation

I can't believe it but the twins have graduated from preschool already! It was a truly fun graduation from an awesome preschool with two wonderful teachers. It was such a cute little program with some songs and showing us all what they had learned. Their teacher had purchased real graduation gowns and they looked so adorable. They really do miss going to school but they are loving their summer vacation and they are anxiously awaiting kindergarten! They got their track assignment this week and they will be starting kindergarten the last week of August!
