Sports Fam

2009-11-15T11:36:00.000-08:00

This fall has been so busy for us. All the kids have been playings sports. Zane is playing baseball, Megan softball and Olivia soccer. Even though it has been busier than ever for us, it has been the most fun! I wouldn't trade it for anything! Zane is doing great on his team. He has been working hard at practices and junior high school has been keeping him on his toes. Megan is playing girls fast pitch softball for the first time. She has tried many different things, dance, soccer, cooking classes. She enjoyed them all but she has found that she LOVES softball. The call her the "HEAVY HITTER" on her team. The same is true for Olivia. We gave her a soccer ball and away she went. She picked it up so fast. She is the best at "stop and pull pass's" on her team.
All three kids are so great and we are sooooo proud of them all. Lots of fun!

First Day Of School

2009-09-06T21:01:00.000-07:00

I know I am late. I am not very good at posting as often as I should. I just wanted to share these pictures of the kids on their first day of school. Zane started 6th grade and is loving it. He was a little nervous but that didn't last long. He is getting so grown up. Megan started 3rd grade and is so pleased she got Ms. Greenberg. She had Ms. Greenberg for kindergarten and now she is teaching 3rd grade. Olivia was so ready to start kindergarten. Only Olivia would be disappointed that she was not given homework the first week. She is so eager to do her homework right away when she gets home. Love my kiddies!

Olivia Graduates!

LONG TIME NO POST

2009-07-21T11:28:00.000-07:00

It has been so long since my last post. It seems summer is passing by so fast. It is already half way through July! Wow! We had a fun 4th of July. Swimming and dinner with family and then fireworks. Here are some pictures of the past few weeks. The kids have had fun spending the summer days with their cousins and friends. I don't think I posted pictures form Olivia pre-school graduation or Zane's baseball team winning the tournament 1st place or Megan and her new cute glasses. So here they are!

Happy Summer

2009-05-19T08:32:00.000-07:00

Wow, it has been so long since I've posted anything. We have been so busy. We are all doing great! Congratulations to Craig and Carolyn for graduating from collage! It was fun to see you guys! Megan is growing up so fast. She is trying so hard to do her own hair everyday! She is learning to use the curling iron and blow dryer. She does a great job! Zane has been playing baseball and the girls just finished their cooking class. Thank goodness! We are ready for summer. It seems the heat is upon us! We have had fun planting some flowers and playing outside in the warm evenings. I am going to try to be better about posting and keeping up to date! Happy Summer Everyone!

Disney Fun

2009-03-22T20:27:00.000-07:00

We had the chance to go as a family to Disneyland the begining of March. The whole Johnson clan. We had a great time! Olivia was so brave, the very first ride she wanted to go on was Tower of Terror and she did it! She loved it so much that she does not want to go again! It is fun for us because our kids are getting older and we can all go on rides together. It was fun spending time together as a whole family. We went on rides with each other and ate together. One of the best times we had was when grandpa took us over to the face painters and we ALL had our faces painted together. All of us girls anyway and the little kids! We also had fun riding Buzz together to try and beat Zane's hi score. He placed in the top 10 of all the people in the park that day! It was so much fun! We miss Ammon and Katie lots now that they live in Provo but it was fun to have them there also. Great memories!

Beauty Sleep!

2009-02-11T09:18:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago we went shopping and Megan wanted to buy something with her own money. So we went into Clair's and we looked and looked for something she wanted. She saw these sleeping masks and picked one out for herself and Olivia. Well, it has been so funny. At first, they thought it was so fun to sleep in them. I got these cute pictures the first few nights. Then Megan kinda stopped wearing hers every night but Olivia insists on wearing hers every night. In fact, she will wake us up in the middle of the night if it comes off and she can't find it. Olivia is our sleeper! Her mask says "Leave Me Alone" it's true. This is our little one who prays to have a good sleep in and that no one will wake her up! It's hilarious!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

2009-01-06T13:27:00.000-08:00

Brent took the girls with him on a road trip to St. George to pick up his truck that was in the shop there. He took the our girls and their cousin Zoe. He said they had a great time! They even stopped at Chuck-O-Rama to eat! (BLAAAA) My kids love that place. When he got home he said he had as much of Hannah Montana & The Jonas Brothers that he could possibly stand! Here are some cute pic's they took of themselves in the car!

Then, Then, Then

2009-01-06T08:51:00.000-08:00

Where have the Holidays gone? It seems they just flew right by us! The past few weeks we have been soooo busy (I know everyone is busy)! We had Megan's 8th birthday, then shop, shop, then Christmas, then visit family for New Years, then Megans baptism ( which was so wonderful,thanks to everyone who came and supported her) then give a lesson in Relief Society, then back to work, and back to school (Yeah)! Wheeeewwww! Today is quiet at my house, a welcoming sound! I am just going to post some pictures of our lives over past few weeks! I hope everyone had a great New Year! My new Years resolution is to get our family pictures in albums!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

2009-01-05T20:36:00.000-08:00

2008-12-11T10:55:00.000-08:00

WE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING. IT WAS NICE AND EASY! EVERY YEAR WE SWITCH OFF WITH EACHOTHERS FAMILIES. LAST YEAR WE WERE WITH MY FAMILY SO THIS YEAR WE SPENT IT WITH BRENT'S FAMILY. DINNER WAS EXCELLENT! GRANDMA TERRIE MAKES A GREAT TURKEY AND STUFFING DINNER. LESLIE MADE A GREAT GREEN BEAN CASAROLE ALSO. GRANDMA ALWAYS TAKES THE TIME TO TEACH THE GIRLS HOW TO MAKE ROUND-THE-FINGER ROLLS! FIRST YOU LAY OUT THE DOUGH, THEN SPREAD IT WITH CRISCO, THEN FOLD AND SPREAD, REPEATED 3 TIMES! THEN YOU TAKE A STRIP OF DOUGH AND ROLL IT AROUND YOU FINGER AND DIP IT IN BUTTER! YES, ANOTHER DIP INTO GREASE! THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS THE BEST ROLL YOU HAVE EVER EATEN! THIS YEAR I WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE HOW THANKFUL I WAS FOR THEM AND I HAD THE IDEA TO MAKE THANK YOU BOXES. EVERYONE WOULD WRITE A LITTLE THANK YOU TO EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY! IT WAS SO NEAT! EVERYONE TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE WHY THEY WERE THANKFUL FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. IN THE END WE HAD ABOUT 24'S THANKS YOU'S IN EACH FAMILY BOX. WE READ OURS FOR FAMILY HOME EVENING AND IT WAS REALLY SPECIAL TO HEAR A SWEET THANK YOU'S FROM EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. WE WILL CHERISH IT FOREVER. AUNT LESLIE ALSO HAD OREO COOKIE TURKEY'S FOR THE KIDS TO MAKE! THEY WERE SO CUTE. NOW WE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS! (IT'S ON IT'S WAY FAST!)

Busy, Busy Days!

2008-12-11T10:19:00.001-08:00

I know, I know it has been so long since I have posted. It seems the last few weeks have been soooo crazy! Grandma and Grandpa Johnson had their anual "Fall-A-Sleep-Over" the kids had a great time and loved the prayer rocks and rockin' pj's they got! Brent and I took advantage of the night alone and we went out on the town! We went the see the show KA at the MGM. We went with our friends Sam and Vince. It was really good! Afterall, I love that kind of stuff! We enjoyed the night out together. Then...done, done, done... we came home and found our house was covered in toilet paper and saran wrap! We have a good idea of who did it and all Brent said was, "Whoever did this knows the scout 10 fold rule!" Which means, "Don't do anything to another scout unless your willing to get it back 10 fold!" So watch out! We never forget! We'll get you when you least expect it!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! Olivia had her 5ht birthday and is so proud to finally be 5 years old. We went to eat with the family and Livvy opened some presents. It was to fun to see all the cousins in their costumes! Zane was not sure if he wanted to dress up this year. He waited until the last minute to decide. Then he decided he could not be anything silly and just wanted to be a goblin! Megan was a very cute Dorothy form the Wizard of Oz and Olivia was a darling Little Red Riding Hood! Of course I was a witch as always! Now Halloween is over and time to move on the Thanksgiving and Christmas! A wonderful time of year!

Winter Moon

2008-10-14T21:50:00.001-07:00

It's Olivia's birthday month! She is getting so big. She loves her pre-school class and looks forward to it every week. Tonight when we looked in the sky we saw a big full moon. For those of you who don't know, Livvy is our Winter Moon(it is an indian name that her grandpa Bulloch gave her). She noticed how big and bright it was. I reminded her that is why she was named Winter Moon. It is big and bright and gives light in the dark. She looks for herself in the sky all the time. She was also born in October, when we usually notice a full moon! She loves Halloween and is excited for her birthday.

Johnson Family Disneyland Vacation

2008-10-14T21:11:00.000-07:00

We have been home a couple weeks now from out Disneyland trip. We had a blast as always! We always look forward to the cooler weather so we can go, although it was very warm when we were gone! We spent 4 days in Disneyland. Livvy was so brave, she finally went on "most" of the big rides. She went on Space Mtn, Big Thunder Mtn, even the Grizzly water ride in the California park. We could not get her to do Splash Mtn! Maybe next time! It is great that everyone is big enough to go together. No one has to wait behind! We are enjoying our kids so much as they get older! Anyway, it was so much fun spending time with all the family.

They "guys" took a trip to California to see a Yankees vs. Angels game (no girls allowed). They had a great time. After the game they stopped by Knotts Berry Farm to have a good ole' chicken dinner. It was a quick trip, just there and back in one day. We are looking forward to our trip to Disneyland in a couple weeks. Good times!

These are a few of my favorite things!

Makin' Cookies!

2008-08-19T11:26:00.000-07:00

Megan is our little baker. I always looked forward to the day when I could tell my kids to go make ME some cookies! Well the time has come! Megan can make chocolate chip cookies ALL BY HERSELF! ( I just help her turn on the oven and sometimes get them out!) She gets all the ingredients out and reads the instructions and away she goes. She does a great job and the cookies are delicious!

It was Zane's turn to cash in his dinner dollar! He had a great time with gramma and poppy. He picked to go to Black Angus for dinner. Zane is always up for a good steak! It looks like they had a great time. Especially poppy when the it came time for the dessert! Good times!

Yankee Stadium

The new stadium
Us at the top of the Empire State Building!

As many of you know Brent and I had the oppurtunity to go to New York a couple of weeks ago. We went to see a Yankee game at Yankee Stadium. Brent is not really a Yankee fan (GO BRAVES!) but he has always wanted to visit Yankee Stadium. It was now or never because this is the final year the Yankee's are playing there. We had a great time. We were only there a few days, but we were able to see lots of cool stuff! We watched the Yankee game (of course) then we went to the top of the Empire State Building, visited Central Park, saw Rockerfeller Plaza and walked and walked! It was fun to see New York City just as you do in the movies!

Happy Birthday America!

2008-07-04T22:08:00.000-07:00

What a fun day! I love the 4th of July! We went swimming at Gramma and Poppy's house this afternoon. After swimming we went to Hush Puppy to eat! YUMMMM! Then the kid's were so excited to get home to light fireworks! Livvy was a little scared at first, soon she warmed up to the idea of loud noise and flashing lights! We have a fun neighborhood! We gather together to watch the fireworks almost every year!

We wish everyone a happy and safe 4th! Thanks to all who serve our country! We are thankful for our freedom!

Allstar!

2008-06-30T08:31:00.001-07:00

CHAMPIONS!

2008-06-15T18:57:00.000-07:00

Happy Fathers Day to the BEST dad ever! Brent has is such a great dad and we feel so lucky! He has been very busy with work and church and still found time to coach Zane's baseball team! He is such a wonderful coach and because of him our team did great! We lost the first game of our baseball tournament, if we lost again we would have been out of it! Well, we had to play every night and we won every game in order to stay in it! The boys on our team really pulled together! We made it to the championship game on Saturday! We had to play a double-header ( in 110 degrees) and win both games! WE DID IT! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! Zane was also selected to play on the ALLSTAR team! Brent was also asked to help coach the allstar team! Both Zane and Brent are truly ALLSTARS for sure! We love you dad!

Carson City or Bust!

2008-06-09T15:45:00.000-07:00

The 4th graders at Zane's school are studying Nevada history. They had the opportunity to go to Carson City on a field trip. I had the chance to go as a chaperone! They had a great time! We are proud of him he has earned his Nevada Citizenship Award also. We got up early in the morning and flew to Carson City. We visited the Nevada History Museum and then the State Capitol building. We got to go in the Governor's office and sit on his couch! We also went in the State Assembly building. It was really cool to see! Next we got on a bus and went to Virginia City! We got to ride the VT train and see a gun show! Then we went to a real gold mine. We got to see how they get the gold out of the ore! Then we saw an old school that was turned into a museum. It was 3 stories high. A very nice school for it's time. Everything in the school as original form the 1800's, we could see markings in the desks from the old ink pens! It was a long day but well worth it! Then we flew home!

Livvy's Turn!

2008-05-19T08:29:00.000-07:00

It was Olivia's turn to cash in her dinner dollar! She also picked Carrabbas! She had a great time with gramma and poppy! Most of all she loved the dessert! Olivia thought it was so much fun to spend some special time with grandma and grandpa!

Happy Birthday Brent

2008-05-16T10:00:00.000-07:00

Dinner Dollar Date

2008-05-09T21:51:00.001-07:00

For Christmas Gramma and Poppy gave each of the grandkids a silver dollar. They told the kids that they could turn in the silver dollar in exchange for a special dinner date with gramma and poppy! NO ONE ELSE COULD GO! Last week Megan called them and said she was ready to turn in her silver dollar! She got to pick her favorite restaurant! She picked Carrabba's! Every time we go there we have the same waiter. He always remembers what we like and of course he remembered that Megan loves "white noodles!" He made sure she had an extra big bowl of them along with extra chocolate on her dessert! When she got home she was so excited! She had the best time! Thanks, Gramma and Poppy!
