The Johnson's: October 2010

Cousin Reunion!

We love our cousins from AZ. Leann, Leah and Missy and Kidos came and visited us for a few days. We went Lagoon one day, shopping one day, then on to a family reunion, and then a few days in Rexburg. Here are a few pictures from Lagoon.

Jace does not have a black eye. It's the ink they stamped on his hand.

Finally SUMMER!!!

More of our Favorite neighbor kids. We have the best neighbors ever and their kids are great too! Sam and Jack are brothers (left) and my kids love playing with them. Not many days pass that they aren't playing or going on an adventure together. Tanner and Lex in the middle with Addy on the right. Addy and Tanner are the best little friends. She has a swing set, we have a tramp, Sam and Jack have a grate big patio, little slide and patio chairs; which all together makes the perfect playground. Notice the goggles! We really got lucky getting stuck between wonderful neighbors.

Alexa and Sam having a lemonade stand. They actually did pretty good for 6 year olds and thanks to a kind neighbor who probably bought like $5 in items. Sam was determined to say out there for 3 hours and they did. Oh the joys of summer.

Tanner and cousin Bryce. Goggles! What more can I say. I love Bryce's scrunched ears!

Only in Idaho do you have to bundle up for the 4th of July! It was very chilly!

Happy 4th of July! We watched fireworks at Mitch's brothers while we say in the hot tub because it was so cold. Tanner, Lindsey (cousin), & Lex

Almost summer

Yes, this handsome picture was taken at the end of May. I guess we live in Idaho can't expect much more from the weather than cold. I just love this picture of Tanner.

1st lost tooth! Way to go girl!

Kindergarten Graduation! How can a parent not be proud!

Mommy loves QUIET Time! "You don't have to sleep just go look at books."

Works every time. :)

Tanner's bestest little buddies. Jack our neighbor, we love our new neighbors. Our kids are the same age and play so well together. Tanner in Middle and Bryce, cousin, on right.

Spring Time! 2010

Tanner's 1st of Preschool at the BYU-Idaho, R Kids preschool. He says, "Mom, I am a big boy now cuz I go to college." I just smile and say yep.

What an adorable little stinker. Where'd you get those blue eyes?
Jace at 5 months

My boys! Nice glasses Jace - thanks to a big sister!

Lex and Kallie - little dancing girls! Love it!

a few more things...

Christmast 2009

Tanner loved going outside and shoveling snow. He was being like his dad when Mitch would go plow snow. I just love this picture.

Fiesta Bowl 2010 - Way to go BSU. You make proud and it was well worth 30+ hours with 3 kids in the car. One of them being 5 weeks old. Jace went with us to the game and slept the entire time. I can't believe with all that noise he could sleep.

Who knew GOGGLES could be so much fun. There weren't too many places Tanner went with out them on. How FUN!

The last 8 months! Wow!

Well after the last time I posted we had a few things change. We moved out of my inlaws house and into a new house. We moved out because they were returning home from their mission to Salt Lake City, Temple Square. We were so excited to have them home and much closer to us again. When they came home we actually lived with them for about a week until we could close on our house. It was fun, like going to their house for a vacation, which we never have done because we have always lived so close.

1 Week after we moved into our new home and ward we finally blessed Jace. We wanted to wait until Mitch's parents were home from their misson, so yes, Jace was 3 months old. Let me tell you...if you need motivation unpacking from a move, just plan a family event at your house a week or two after you move in. We had almost everything unpacked and most decorations up. Mitch and I stayed up til midnight almost everynight for a week unpacking and I would tell him where I wanted the decor and he would hang it. It worked well. The boxes that we didn't unpack are pretty much still packed to this day. I am considering just throwing them away without even looking in them. What do you think? Here are a few pictures from

Jace's blessing.
