Easter Sunday

We woke up and got baskets with new Sunday clothes. I made Kailin and Brynlee's dresses. I was so proud of them. I would show a picture, but the first chance they were in them Brynlee took a bite out of the concrete and was bleeding everywhere. Yes, all over her dress and mine! It was great! I came home from church to wash out the dresses and saved them. Needless to say that week we were very late to church!

If you look close you can see Brynlee's dress in the back ground. LOL Maybe this week I will get pictures of the new clothes.

The boys exctied over their new ties. Trey gets to learn how to tie a real one!

Kailin loved her Easter egg dress and new shoes!

Shane made a wonderful breakfast, and we listened to Conference. We ended at my mom's for Easter dinner and homemade ice cream. Overall it was a wonderful day!

Where have I been?`

After Spring break things got kind of crazy around our house!
Trey had to have surgery on his ears. He had tubes put in 4 years ago. One of the tubes slipped back into the inner ear and the ear drum had closed over the top of it.

His surgery went well. He had a longer recovery then excepted. He was out of school for 2 weeks. He was not supposed to do any physical activities. So of course since this is Trey we are talking about that would be when he got his 6th (Yes, that is right 6th) set of stitches. He was cutting an apple while holding it in his hand. He almost lost a pinkie. I almost passed out. LOL
At this point I needed a break. I left Shane in charge so I could go play with my friends. It was a short get away, but a very needed one. We stayed up until the early morning hours doing hair and goofing around.
Thanks Alisha for letting us crash at your house.
Easter was next. Every year we go with Shane's family out for a picnic and egg hunt. This year with it being conference we listened to it from the cars. It has become one of my favorite traditions with the Johnson family.
This is all the girls around the fire to keep warm.
Kailin and Brynlee pushed Isiah around in his stroller. They liked it more than he did.

The pictures don't really show how dirty these two little girls got. They had such a good time playing with the cousins.

Spring break or break from spring?

This years spring break was cold! It started out with snow, and then rain, and then the wind started. So needless to say a lot of it was spent indoors. I decided that the kids needed to get out of the house, or we were going to kill each other. I had a coupon for Jumping Jacks on Thursday so we headed over there. The kids had a great time. Shane was about to go crazy. I guess everyone else had the same idea and the same coupon. So there were kids everywhere. Shane went to hide in a corner, and the girls found this ride on toy by dad to play on. It was perfect!

I didn't know if the older kids were going to have a good time, but they had a ton of fun! Kendra was there with her kids, and they took off playing tag.

Cole couldn't keep still. I could barely take his picture. He was running all around.

Kailin had fun riding on this blown up dinosaur.

At the beginning Shane was out and about with us. His job: Brynlee. She loves her Dad so it wasn't a hard job.

This is me. Yes, there is proof that I went down the slides too. If you want a fun workout take a 2 year old to jumping jacks. It will really work you holding the child, balancing, and climbing all at the same time! Brynlee loved the BIG slide the best!

Trey had a good time running around with friends. He almost got eaten by the giant blown up dinosaur. LOL

Not the coolest spring break ever, but we did have SOME fun! Hope you all did too.

Wrestling has taken over our lives...

Wrestling consumes our lives right now, but the boys are having fun! Trey again this week took 1st place. Cole took 3rd, but wrestled really well. I am so proud of them for showing such good sportsmanship.


Just in case some of you are wondering we do have a few cute little girls hanging around here.

Dominating the mat...

Cole is having a ton of fun learning to wrestle! This age is my funnest to watch. They are all pretty new, or you can tell they have older brothers.

Cole took second this week. Shane and I were running back and forth between the Kindergarten and 4th grade tables. Cole's 1st match was so fast that we missed the whole thing. He pinned him so quick that they didn't even put down take down points. Way to go buddy!

Trey dominated the mat this week. Taking 1st he had to beat out his friend Levi.

He pinned the first 2. The second he won by points. I don't know if he just didn't want to pin him because of friendship, or he was true competition. Score 6 to 1.

Way to go boys!

And the Johnson's bring home the medals...

Today was the boys first wrestling tournament. It was in Parowan and weigh-in was at 7-8am. Needless to say we were up early this morning. By 12pm Cole had only wrestled once and Trey was almost finished. Trey pinned his first 2 guys in seconds. His last match was a good one! He should have tied for the gold, but the score got messed up. I am just glad Trey is a good sport!



Cole same he pinned his first 2 guys pretty easy, but then the third was Cody Wright's son. He is a lot stronger than he looks for sure. He got pinned in the 2 round. He was awesome, and such a good sport as well.



I think the main reason my boys love this sport so much is it gives them one on one time with their Dad. Shane loves to see the boys wrestle. He has taught them to be good sports, respect the other players, and have fun! Thanks honey!

Dawn of the Dinosaurs....

Saturday Cole and I went on a date to the Dinosaur Museum in St. George. He was in Heaven. He loves dinosaurs so it was perfect.

Cole made sure I brought the camera, and he wanted a turn taking pictures. This is a picture he was proud of taking all by himself.

When we first came in they gave him a stamp of a dinosaur on his hand. He was so excited I think it is in every picture we took. LOL

It was dinosaurs days so the Museum was free! :) We went to get some ice cream afterwards, but the wanted to stop at Maverick and get a slurpie instead. Yes, he is a cheap date. It was fun spending one on one time with Cole. I love you buddy!
