Had to post this...

Okay -- This was too stinking cute to not post in multiple spots - it's also on my Facebook page. Colten was laughing harder and more sustained, than I've ever heard him laugh before. He's a really happy kid, but he likes to be surprised and this sure did the trick.



I know it's been a LONG time since my last post, but we've been REALLY busy over the past year or so. I guess have four kids and a time consuming church calling can do that, but time has freed up a bit - so here you are:

We are still doing well in SLC area. Brandy and I are happy and in love. I feel so stinkin' lucky that she married me and I've hoodwinked her into sticking around. We still have 4 kids (haven't killed any of them yet -- close, but not yet & we haven't added to the chaos). 9, 7, 3 and 1. Colten is our baby and I can't believe he's turning 1 in 2 days. Happy Birthday little man!

As for all other news...probably not too much to say except that it's football season and the Garden seems to be doing well; all-in-all, it's turning out to be a great fall. (now if we could only get the NBA back into full swing).

Thanks for checking up on us.

Lot's of love from your Favorite Johnson Family!

2010 update

Okay, so here are some pictures. We all know that's why you're looking at this blog anyway... we're just so good lookin'!

Also, NEWS, news, news, for those of you who look for the articles (yeah right):

Brandy and I are expecting a new baby in September, we have found out that it'll be a boy. Although we have had input already on the name, we've decided, we'll decide -- thank you very much:)-!.

Audrey is really working hard at keeping her princess pull up's and underwear dry, and she's doing really well (just in time for the new baby - good job Audrey).

Boden is totally stoked to be going on vacation to the Oregon Coast next week -- he's really excited to go to the Portland Zoo and the Newport Aquarium - still LOVES to learn about animals and anything else that takes some investigation -- dinosaurs, planets... LOVES the Discovery channel, the History Channel, etc.

Damien is still trying to figure some things out. He's having a hard time learning some lessons, but overall is happy. He too is really looking forward to next week. He keeps talking about remember when....(the last time we went to the coast 2 years ago - he had a blast).

Brandy and I are doing well. We've been able to take Damien to the temple to have him sealed to us, which was a great experience. We've baptized him and blessed Audrey, discovered that we're have another BOY, etc.. all within the past 2 months, so it's been a busy time for us here.

Personally, I am really getting excited to get some yard work done this spring/summer. I am thinking more about doing a garden and spending time (and money) already on putting more trees in the yard and getting the grass to look good. I really enjoy this time of year for all the outside work that I get to do. I'll see about maybe getting some pictures of the yard on this site in the next couple of months.

Hope all is well with y'all. Come back and see us again in another 6 months, we may have posted something else - we like to keep you guessing!

It's about stinkin time

For all of you who thought that this site was dead...we'll it kind of has been. SOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

I have been so bad about not updating this lately, but it's not my fault, Brandy made me do it! Just kidding. She's been the one taking all the pictures and videos lately, and giving me all the excuses TO update the site...I've just been reluctant to spend time on updating this lately, and I need to get better about that.

So here goes!

Here are some updated pictures. I will follow with script some other time - or maybe I wont!

For those of you on the Audrey Watch - - UPDATE!!!

Audrey has decided that she's to bored with the baby stuff so she's popped out 4 teeth and crawls wherever she pleases. Today she decided that this crawling stuff isn't getting her much of a view, so she decided to pull herself up onto our flower pot and onto one of her toys... We were amazed and a little sad that our 7 month old has decided to be so freakin grown up. Here's a little flick of the moment.

"The LOVE boat, soon we'll be making another run.."

Brandy and I went on a cruise for her Birthday. We ended up going to Ensenada, Mexico. The food was good, the service in the restaurants was excellent, the spa services were lacking (couples massage was more like a couples gentle rubbing), and the put-put was fantastic.

We visited the towns of Ensenada and La Bufadora, which is a natural geyser surrounded by billions of merchants all stuffed into a 1/2 mile long road. The deals weren't that great, but hey - at least is mostly knockoff and fake stuff... The did have real Mexican Churro's though - and the 3lb's I gained from eating the grease off of them was almost worth it.

Really though, we did have a good time - it felt like a longer date then our usually weekly, and we enjoyed the scenery, the tour, the food, the shuffleboard and the musical review show on board. If you want more information, you'll need to ask questions, because...we'll we like to see who's paying attention.
