Carter's Favorite Story...

"Mom, remember when that one time there was a bird in our house?"

Luckily we were able to call 'Animal Control'-our neighbor Heather who lives across street and knows all things flora and fauna! Do any of you know how to catch a bird flying around your house? We do now....call me if you ever need to know! ;0)

When Lopa comes to town...

we LOVE it when she makes us yummy cookies! June 2008 surprise visit! ;)

What happens to my bed....

when Chris is out of town. First comes one and then the rest soon follow....

June Happenings....

Can you tell which baby is mine? Of course the one without any hair! ...that must be what they mean when they say McKinley has the 'Johnson look'! Both my friends Valerie and Korey had babies within a month or so before and after me!



Our little star of the Kindergarten Play--Big Bertha Lee! Madison requested her part and was so excited that she got to 'charge' the other boy billy goats who walked over her bridge!



And next we have Florence Nightengale with her good friend Ruby Bridges ready to give their speeches for the 2nd grade Back to School night! I have to mention that Kennidy is wearing one of my favorite dresses that my mom MADE ME when I was a little girl. It has little white flower buttons and there was even a white petticoat to go underneath! Oh the talent, where did it all go?

Disneyland with Old Friends!

Shawn & Margaret Fielding stopped over for a Disneyland visit in May and we had so much fun with our 8 kids together when we realized that they are almost the exact same ages & genders!  So great to keep in touch with college friends-especially ones that helped get Chris and I together! Oh the stories we can tell....  

Our little runners & McKinley 2 months old!

Our Elementary School has a Jog-a-thon every spring and so this is Kennidy & Madison's big race and the whole family comes to cheer them on! 

Who can resist a happy baby!  May 13th and two months old McKinley has already won our hearts!

Roger's Garden with G&G Johnson....

Right before we put Grandma & Grandpa Johnson on the plane back in May, we stopped in Newport Beach for a quick visit to the most beautiful nursery in the O.C.--Roger's Garden!  The girls gave their grandparents a grand tour! ;0)

10 years and our FIRST Garden!!!

Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Johnson's green thumbs.....we finally got our first garden this spring! We used the new square foot gardening book by Mel Bartholomew that Grandma Johnson gave us and it worked great--especially for us beginning 'recreational' gardeners!
