Mothers Day.

It was a great mothers day for my inner clean freak. This is what Justin and the boys got me and I am just loving it.


The best part about Mothers Day is having two wonderful kids and a fantastic husband to share it with. Along with the two wonderful women that raised us! Love you Moms!

Writers Rut.

I've had a bit of writers block lately and haven't been in the mood to blog. Here is some of the things we have been busy doing around here the last three weeks.

Watched my two brothers while my parents went on a cruise to Spain. Lucky them! We had a fun week having them here and they only caused us a little stress! :)

Went and watched Karlee dance at her recital. She did an awesome job and it was fun to watch her.


Celebrated Earth Day and went to the ZOO and park with some friends. Im sad we didn't get pictures because the kids were so cute and loved hanging out together and looking at the animals.

Celebrated my 27th Birthday! We had a big family party with cake and ice cream. The cake was super yummy. The next day Justin took me to a movie and then we went to dinner. We even had a chance to go to Barns and noble and relax.





My sister Tessa was in town for my Birthday and all weekend! We did lots of shopping (or looking and dreaming) and eating out. She wathced my kids several times for me to get out and about without them. Thanks so much Tessa for all your help. You are a wonderful sister and friend.

Went to dinner the night before my Birthday to Outback Steak House with Grandpa and Grandma Johnson. YUM YUM!

Went to Justins Uncle Chads to play a game, The Curse of the Wolfen. So much fun. What a great group of people!!! My sister watched the kids so once again Justin and I were able to just enjoy ourselves.


Justin drove to Salt Lake City for the day last Sunday because his little brother was at Salt Lake Primary Childrens Hospital. Come to find out his top two vertebrates aren't fused together and he will have to have surgery. He is doing well now and after the surgery he will be doing even better.

Played cards and had dinner with Grandma Joann, Karlee, Chris and Randy. That was lots of fun!

Went to the park and played Frisbee golf! Our new hobbie! Justin has been doing it lots this last year and I am just starting. It is really fun and the boys love to follow us around and throw their own Frisbee.

Got the fence all put up and stained. Now if the wind would stop blowing and the rain would stop pouring we could be using it to its full potential.

The wind has seriously been blowing for the last two weeks straight. Finally today we were able to get some relief from it. I took the boys to this awesome park in town. It was nice to get outside again and I know they had a great time getting some of their pent up energy out! It is fun to see them interact with other kids. Kamden would run by everyone and tell them "Hi" super loud and friendly. Karson just tried hugging and kissing all the little kids. We had so much fun I can't wait to take them again.

The winds of change.

Once again the winds of change have hit the Johnson home. (Literally, Idaho is so dang windy.) Today is Justins last day of work at Premier Technology. His dad reopened his business and alas Justin will now be working for him. A couple of months ago Jon (Justins Dad) bid a job in Mississippi and won the bid. Luckily we will not be picking up house and moving to Mississippi, but instead have the opportunity to stay here and work out of the office in town. As long as I have known Justin he has always had this dream of working with his dad and brother. He is very happy to finally have the opportunity and it so excited. So Justin will now be employed by I.C.I. (Industrial Construction Inc.)

Premier couldn't quite let Justin go so instead they are offering to subcontract jobs out to him. Therefore Justin will be opening his own part time company and do work as a Professional Engineer. He already has 500 hrs of work from Premier. We are thinking about calling his company Kamson, a mix between Kamden and Karson. What do you think?

Today I happened to be at Justins office and so many of his coworkers had such great things to say about him. He has really impressed people there by his smarts and his hard work. Not only is he their coworker but their friend. He will surely be missed. One guy in particular said something so nice about Justin and it made be so proud. Mike told me "Justin is such an awesome guy and I just love him. He is so amazing and I wish that I had 10 of him around!" I thought that it was so nice!

Justin I am so proud of you for all your hard work and dedication. I love seeing how much people admire you, and the strong person that you are. You can do anything!

So here we go....onto our next adventure in life.

Ice cream or spa treatment?

Dear Karson,
Oh my little man, I love how you enjoy food to the fullest. When I gave you ice cream this afternoon to get some things done around the house I had not idea that you would end up such a mess. Somewhere along the way of eating the ice cream you decided it would be a good idea to turn it into a spa treatment and lathered it on yourself from head to toe. But hey at least you clean up nice!

XOXO

Love, Mom

A beautiful sight!

Not only is the weather absolutely beautiful outside today but I am also watching these wonderful men who are working hard to keep my sanity in tact. Just look at that beautiful fence. It won't be long before I can let my wild hooligans loose in the back yard. Ahhh! What a wonderful day!

Easter Fun.

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! It started off with a visit from Aunt Tessa! We always have so much fun when she comes to visit and the boys just love her.

Saturday we kicked off our Easter celebrations with a delicious breakfast at our house with the Johnson family. Pa and Tu Tu brought the boys Easter baskets and us a Easter lily. We then all headed down to the Shelley Easter egg race. What a joke. There was a ton of people there and in 10 seconds flat all the eggs were gone. The boys had fun anyways and did end up getting a few eggs.



This picture is funny. I told Kamden to look at me and smile but he couldn't see me very well with the sun in his eyes so he looked at me like this.

We then headed to Pa and Tu Tus house for another Easter egg hunt. This one was much better and the boys had fun looking for eggs all over the yard. Justin and I decided it was a great time for the Easter bunny to make his visit. So while I took the boys over to see the horses, Justin played Easter bunny. When we came back from the barn Kam was so excited to see that the Easter bunny had left him something he jumped out of the Ranger and took off running.


Karson got a new potty!! Not as exciting as the bike but hey that Easter bunny had to be practical too.

We then headed over to the Colgrove house and had a nice lunch and another Easter egg hunt for Kamden Karson and Porter. My mom got them some really cute Easter baskets too with lots of fun stuff inside.

We hopped on home for a quick nap then headed up to Grandpa and Grandma Voyles house. Karson was a little grouchy at this point but Kamden was still going strong and had yet another Easter egg hunt and some Easter goodies. We had a nice relaxing evening there. Then headed home to hit the sack. We were exhausted but had such a wonderful day!!!

Sunday we went to church and then that evening headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Johnsons for Easter dinner with the whole Johnson clan. It is always fun getting all together. It was a wonderful end to our Easter fun!

Oooops I did it again.

Yup I chopped it all off. I can never seem to keep my hair long before getting sick of it and cutting it. Good thing I love short hair.

We had a great weekend together. Went to breakfast with good friends, took long afternoon naps together, and went on walks and played outside.

Today I am enjoying the 53 degrees outside. Ahhh beautiful!! Took my kids to play at my sisters house. Fun!

The sun is making me smile!

Now I guess I better go and get the laundry done!
