Someday My Prince Will Come!

While I was singing "Someday My Prince Will Come"

You were saving the world and could care less about girls, there were more important things in life.

Then suddenly during a Pine View Meeting at BYU-I. I was introduced to you and you seemed very familiar to me, it's like I had met you before. Cue in Saturday Nights Warrior "I've Seen that Smile Somewhere before"



After dating a semester you knew I was heading to Utah to student teach so you surprised me and said that you were going to transfer to BYU. I couldn't believe it. Thank you for doing that! Thank you for having the Johnson confidence and perservering when I was being a little difficult! Saying yes to marrying you was the best decision I ever made!


We were married August 5th 2006 in the Manti, UT temple. It was a beautiful day and I am so grateful that we can be together forever.


Now four years later we have two new superheroes in our family who are currently saving the world. And I know that out there, there are two little girls singing "Someday My Prince Will Come!" But until that time, they are saving my life everyday!
I love you so much Timmy!

Grants Birthday Party!

For Grants birthday I chose to do a ball theme, because Grant gets the biggest kick out of playing catch. So I thought I would go with that. The first thing we did was have the kids take turns going through a ball obstacle course. While the kids were going through the obstacle course the parent prepared their plate of food.





We had a pinata that we had already used once but revamped it again, so we could get our moneys worth. I had gotten too much candy for Grants pinata, so the rest of the candy I will use for Zach's birthday this coming week. Luckily one of my neighbors knows my weakness for candy and knew that in order to save the candy it needed to be at her house. (GOOD IDEA!)


Then it was cake time, and these beautiful cakes were made by none other than Marianne. Aren't they amazing? (Have you noticed that my neighbors are awesome and I ask for a lot of things?) Well Grant would not have anything to do with his cake. We tried several things. Even Zach was willing to help with the eating, but to no avail. We finally put him down on the ground with his cake. Then the magic happened, he got the biggest kick out of picking up his plate full of cake and tossing it on the ground. I don't think he ate a piece of his cake!





Then came the present time. He received wonderful gifts and loved to open up the presents with a lot of help from his buddies.




Happy Birthday Grantster, We love you!

Out with the old and in with the new!

We have had these green couches for a year. And I was ready to move on. I had been searching my favorite site for furniture (craigslist) and found these awesome couches. So without further ado. I e-mailed the people, scheduled an appointment with them. Put the green couches up for sale.

When Timmy came home I told him my little escapade and he was a little stunned to say the least. I called the lady and she said that someone was coming to see them in half and hour. So if I wanted to go and see them I had to go right then. I hurried and used our neighbors car to see them and bought them. Apparently the other people that came later that night wanted to buy them. But they were too late! ha ha ha ha.

Through the kindness of our neighbors for letting us use their van. We got the couches, only to find that they didn't fit through the door to the downstairs where they were supposed to go. which is so unfortunate. So I put the couch from upstairs to the downstairs, and put the new couches upstairs. A couple of days later a college student bought our green couches.

So it has been a fun switch. The only downfall is that the couches didn't go into the spot where they were supposed to go, but they work upstairs. So be sure to measure your couches before you buy them to make sure they fit in the spot where they are supposed to go! Who would've thought! I will show a pictures of the new couches later, sorry!

Happy Birthday Grant!

I can't believe that a year has passed by so fast.

What This Summer has been like...

This has been a HOT summer. So most days Zach looks like this, I have to admit that he was running around like that at the park...


We have enjoyed our fire pit, and Zach is starting to understand the delightfulness of smores.

We have discovered the wonderful combination of slide, pool and sandbox, though fun it is a dicey combination.


We love all of the BBQs and playing with our wonderful neighbors, who we love so much and thank our lucky stars for everyday. Timmy is doing a fancy move trying to win the game "PIG" (AKA "horse").

Timmy loves his garden and has become an even more amazing soil man. (From Timmy: this is an older picture of the tomatoes. You should see them now!)

Basketball, scooter, tricycles, cutting grass with scissors, staying up way past his bedtime to catch lightening bugs, eating otter pops like there is not tomorrow.


And when it is too hot, we play inside, watch Dora or Diego, or hide under the bed. And then when I am feeling productive I leave them for a little bit, only to find little escapades like this!



And I am taking it all in and feeling like a kid again!
