FHE - Family Pictures 7/28/2008

For Family Home Evening a couple of nights ago, we had a picnic dinner outside on the grass and then had our family lesson. It was a nice night, and Damien and Boden were having a lot of fun. We decided to take a couple of unprofessional family pictures, just for the heck of it. We also took some individual pictures of the kids, just for fun.

Love from the Johnson Family!

Fishing_7/26/2008

Hi everyone!

My folks went camping a couple of weekends ago (July 24-26), and I promised the boys that we'd go up too, but it turned out to be something we couldn't do (camping). Instead we joined up with the family on Saturday, and I took the boys fishing and swimming instead - they had a blast! Here are a couple of pictures.

They each took turns, one on the kids rod and one on mine. We caught 2 fish with my rod, and 1 with the kids. It was really fun for me - I was able to snag the fish without them knowing and then just ask them hold the poll and just "let me know if you catch anything". They were both so proud of themselves (we caught 2 keepers and then a baby with the kids rod). The cool thing was that they both wanted to eat the fish that night, so we brought them home and added them to the menu for dinner (even Brandy had a bite - SO PROUD of my family).

Anyway - here are a couple of pictures - hope you enjoy!!!

PS. If I am missing anything along the way, or if you want to see other things that I might have forgotten to post, please just comment and let me know!

BIG Family News!!!

Okay everyone. Remember that teaser from last week... Well here is the BIG NEWS I promised. Our little family of 3 is growing in leaps and bounds this month. We are excited to announce that not only do we have the addition of our little princess, Audrey, but we also have a foster-child living with us, named Damien, and we are going to be adopting him, and making hima permanent part of our family.

Damien is a very good boy. He's 6 years old and is full of energy and giggles. He likes chocolate (well any candy really - he get's really excited about candy). He likes to play outside, and wrestle (which is great for Boden), ride his bike and swim/camp/hike etc. In short, is a boy's-boy. We're really grateful for him in our family and he's really starting to settle in perfectly as the older brother.

Here are some pictures of Damien and Boden on our latest hike to Timpanogos Caves. Please take some time to congratulate Damien and make him feel welcome in our home and family!

More of Audrey - Cause who can get enough?

Okay all, here are some more pictures of Audrey, because no on can get enough of Queen Sweetness... We are having so much fun with our little girl. She's such a little sleeper/cuddler/eater. So easy going, loves to be held, doesn't mind getting her diaper changed at all, doesn't mind loud noises, etc. Perfect for a house full of boys.

We Love our girl!!

Found these pictures, had to share

Boden is an awesome son, we love him....however he can be a bit of a knuckle head sometimes. This is him with his good friend Bridger, who lives just down the street. It had been raining for a couple of days and they decided to go outside while the sun was shining and have some fun...

do you think they had any?

One worth posting

Needless to say we have been a little busy around our house lately, so posting things as often as I'd like has been out of the question, but I came across this today, and I had to post it. For those of you wondering how Boden is at being a good big brother to Audrey, here you go... We definetly have more family news, but I want to wait a couple of days before going public with it.
(hows that for a teaser?)

Have a great day!

Sweet Big Brother!
