First day of school 2011


They look so big! These two have been SO excited for school to start and kept asking how many more wake-ups before school started! It took them an hour to fall asleep last night because they were so anxious to go! This morning we had their favorite breakfast of pancakes and chocolate milk and they got to put on their new school clothes and head out. They were pros when we dropped them off! At their new school, they come out and get them out of the car and they got out and had the biggest smiles on their faces, ready to go in! When Matt and I picked them up they walked out with even bigger smiles on their faces and told us all about their day,including the awesome playground! I hope that they always have a love for school and learning that they do now!!! I love these two!!!

Our summer

Miss Savvy learning to drive the mini 4-wheeler on her own! She's a pro and the girls love her!
After a long evening of playing, these girls taking a break in their jammies! The LOVE Lifity:)
At Heather's work party, they had so much for the girls to do and it was a blast!!!

As Robyn said,"the best kind of girl, a dress on and ready to ride the 4-wheeler" Addy loves her dresses, but loves to get them dirty:)
The slip-n-slide

watching fireworks at mimi and papas! This is the part where you can see Miss Maddy getting ready to run to momma, she did not love the noise!

So patriotic

Matt would chuck them down the slide! It was so funny to watch!

Buddies! At the Johnson reunion
Ummmm, I think this pool needs some clean water:) They could care less!

Not Emerie's first horse ride, but she definitely enjoyed this one more than the last one!


Sweet glasses!

Trip to Lagoon for their first time!


Missing Maddy and Bee in this pic, but look at how big these kids are! Especially the two giants in the back! I sure love all these kiddos!!!
Lots of swim time at our neighborhood pool!!!

Savvy is always so sweet with the girls! She is a great mini-mom!!!

Playing at the pool again

The most beautiful dancers!!!

Concentrating so hard on doing what Miss January was doing! IT was the cutest thing ever!!!

Not sure why Addy is pulling this face, but they sure are cute!

Christian and Maddy


Our summer hasn't slowed down and despite being constantly exhausted, I wouldn't change a thing! WE have had so many adventures with both friends and family and have done so many fun things! The girls are busy, busy and keep both Matt and I on our toes! They are up for anything and could play 24 hours a day! I love that they are getting to be so adventurous! We took all the grand kids, minus Maddy to Lagoon while Christian was visiting and I told the girls that the rule was they had to try everything once. They did great and ended up loving everything! We didn't see much of the 3 older boys during the day, but had a blast with Savvy and Luke!
We traveled to Star Valley for the Ervon Johnson Reunion and had a blast! The girls loved all the activities and playing with cousins from sun-up to sun-down!
We've been to the cabin and of course, had to convince the girls that we would come back to get them to leave.
Our great friends Chris and Heather invited us to go for a fun night at her work party that was Harry Potter themed. Us adults had gone to see the last Harry Potter movie the night before. The girls had so much fun and there was food, games, treat, snowcones and prizes! They love being with their friends! We then came back to our house and roasted marshmallows!
We have spent many hours at our neighborhood pool and are so grateful for it being so close and convenient!!! The girls are turning into little fish and remind me of me when I was little! I could not spend enough time in the water! I sure love these two little girls!
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our 3rd little sweetheart and can't wait to see what she looks like and discover her personality! This has been a pretty rough pregnancy, with a couple of stints of bed rest, which for me is the worst thing ever!!! I have a hard time holding still:) Luckily, modern technology has enabled me to get things under control and be able to enjoy all these fun times with my little family! We have been so blessed during this time by incredible people in our lives that have helped in the way of meals, or especially my parents taking the girls day after day! We are so incredibly grateful for everyone in our lives and count each person as a blessing:)
Ok, enough being sappy! Bring on the rest of the summer and more adventures!!!
