June Madness continued.

Okie Dokie, now that I have some spare time...okay well not really because Karson is kicking a soccer ball in the house and Kamden is shooting a nerf gun at me... spare time for me anyways, lets continue with June madness shall we.

June 17th-All aboard. Nana and Pa took Kamden and Karson on a train ride.





Little did we know by that next morning our little Kam man would be locally famous! Thats right folks FRONT PAGE of the POST REGISTER a huge picture of ours truly Kam man.

I am getting a digital copy of this front page printed and laminated from the post register. Until then these pictures will have to do. We got so many phone calls from family and friends and Kamden was defiantly very proud of his picture. How excited for us all!

Also on the 21st of June little baby O turned four months old. He is growing in leaps and bounds and so much fun. Some highlights about Ollie at four months:

• Drinking about 6oz in one sitting.
• Going to bed around 8:00, wakes up around 2:00 then sleeps till morning. Hallelujah!
• Reaches for toys, can grab them and brings them to his mouth.
• Rolled over for the first time on June 23rd. Now he wiggles his way all over the floor.
• He is such a happy baby. Always laughing and smiling.
• So content to just sit around and entertain himself.
• Has so many nicknames. Baby O, Ollie pop, Ollie, Herkamer (my mom), and Hark (Justin).
• Not a big fan of big groups of people, gets overwhelmed quickly by to much going on.
• Has discovered a new favorite toy-his feet.
• Oh and last but not least FINALLY doesn't cry when I get him out of the bath.

I feel so lucky to have three boys. They truly are a ton of fun.

So moving right along now onto one of the most important days in June. Fathers day. I seriously love a day that I can just spoil my husband rotten and make everything all about him. My absolute favorite gift we gave him this year was from the boys. It was a key chain of a bat, the batman symbol to be exact and it read - Our dad is a super hero. So cute and of course pretty much explains exactly how we feel about Justin!
We had such a fun day with the extended Johnson clan, visiting eating and celebrating all the wonderful dads. Justin you truly are amazing! Thanks for being the best Father in the world to our three boys.

Speaking how wonderful Justin is on June 22 he took the boys to their first baseball game. Justin went out before the game and bought them both their own mitts. They were so happy and got to play a little catch with dad before the big Chuckers game. Pa, Tu Tu and Randy met them at the game and they all had a great time.

Okay and last but defiantly not least our little Karson- boo bear turned the big 3. I do think this deserves a special post of its own though. So there you have it, (sigh) our crazy month of fun and madness.

A few friendly visits.

One of my favorite things in life is having friends visit! I just love having a full house. This month we have been lucky to be able to have several different visits. Our really good friends the Richards family came to visit last week. It was so great to see them and catch up. Last time they were here their little girl Samantha was six months old. Now she is two. She is such a cutie and it was super fun having a little girl in the house. Of course Kam and Kars just adored her! No matter what we do with the Richards family we always have a great time. I especially enjoyed staying up late visiting with Janet. She is a wonderful friend and I am so glad that we have reconnected. I first met Janet almost nine years ago up at Moscow. We both worked at pizza hut and we clicked right away. Of course now unfortunately there are many miles in between us but she is still a great friend!

Richards Family

Justin giving all three a horsey ride.

Also this month we were able to go to Twin Falls and visit my cousin Kara and her family, who is also our great friends. Then last weekend they came here and hung out. The Dads played with Justins remote control plane, the kids played on the swings, we ordered pizza, chatted and had a great time relaxing in the beautiful weather we have been having.

Celebrate the Birthdays.

So after we got home from Boise Justin packed up and headed to Moab for High Adventure Scout Camp. I am going to have him write a post all about his trip because some of the stuff they did was pretty amazing. Also that same day My mom, the little boys and I headed down to Utah to surprise my little sister for her Birthday. We had a fun few days spending time with her and Page (her hubby) the boys especially loved swimming in the hotel pool with Tessa. Kamden was much more adventures then usual and would work his way around the pool holding onto the sides. He was pretty nervous when Tessa pulled him out into the middle of the pool and let go of him, and he was surprised to find that he could touch the bottom. He went right back to the side and kept working his way around. Karson on the other hand has no fear of the pool he would jump right in. Because he had cracked his head open just the weekend before we decided to put a shower cap on his head while he swam. We got some pretty funny looks! Oh well, the boys had a great time. Our trip ended way to soon. I think that Tessa had a pretty good Birthday!

We then celebrated Kamdens Birtday with the family June 13th and had a friend party on June 18th. (Although the only people that were able to come were his cousins.) This year he was super excited for his Birthday and understood a lot more what it was about. It was very cute seeing his enormous grin on his face as we celebrated him!

Party #1

Party #2

Summer time madness.

This summer has already been crazy busy! At times things seem a bit hectic and nothing that needs to be getting done is, but man have we been having fun.

This summer we have already taken two trips to Boise. We love it there and it always seems to make for a nice weekend getaway. We love visiting friends and of course eating at good ole Buffalo wild wings. I always love the shopping and the boys always love to hit up build a bear. We had two fabulous weekends there all except for Karson falling and cracking his head open! Yikes. Luckily Dr. DAD came to the rescue and bandaged it right up, although it is questionable weather or not it needed stitches. But as of now it is healing up nicely. We love road trips!!

BUILD A BEAR

Kam made a Panda bear dressed as Batman and Karson made a tiger dressed as a football player. This cracks me up because it is so them.

Our great friends the Oakes family! Josh Veronica, and baby Blake.

The weather was beautiful there. One of the things I love about Boise. We spent a lot of our time outside. This little park is right down the street. The boys had a lot of fun burning off some energy playing tag. Even the big boys!

King of the slide. My little Bro Eli was able to come with us on one time. We had a lot of fun having him around.

BUFFALO WILD WINGS

Our two trips to Boise was a great way to kick off the summer.

Birthday Boy.

Our little Kam man turned the big 5 years old yesterday. I can hardly believe that five years has gone by so fast! What a big boy we have. No longer is Kam a toddler but now a little boy. I am so thankful that this little sweetheart was sent to our family!

Kam at five years old:
-Weight 53lbs
-Height 4ft tall
-Very sweet
-Wears his emotions on his sleeve. (Will cry at sad parts in Movies, loves to kiss and hug, and is a cuddle bug. )
-He is sensitive, but I love this about him. (When my friend Taylia passed away not to long ago I was crying and Kamden came up to me and asked me what the matter was, I told him that I missed my friend, and I wouldn't be able to see her for awhile because she went to live with Jesus. He then told me that he and dad would build me a spaceship and fly me up to Jesus so I could see her.)
-Very creative- loves to draw, paint, color and do anything artistic. Also loves to play in the land of make believe.
-Timid about new experiences, but once he finds something or someone he loves he latches right on.
-Loves to take things apart. If the boy finds a screwdriver half my house is taken apart.
-Likes to sing and dance.
-Very silly, and such a tease.
- Can count to ten and knowes most of his colors.
-Loves to play outside.
-Quite the little negotiator.

When I asked him what his favorite things were this is what he replied:
Favorite color- blue
Favorite food-hot dogs.
Favorite treat- fruit snacks
Favorite toy- water toys.
Favorite thing to do- do my work (color, paint, ect.) and go to dads work.
Favorite T.V show- Star Wars
Favorite animal- Giraff
Favorite sport-running

We are so lucky to have Kamden as a part of our family. We sure love you little buddy! >

A boy after his Fathers own heart.

Kamden had his last day of Preschool yesterday. When he got home we danced around singing "Schools out for summer". Then he asked me what that meant. As I was trying to explain to him that this school year was over and that he wouldn't have school again till after summer was over he got even more confused. He has no idea how long a week is let alone a summer. So instead I told him that he didn't have school for a long time and next year we would go to his new school. He got all sad and bothered by this and told me "mom I want to go to school". Ahhh yes a boy after his own Fathers heart! Don't worry Kam school will come again soon enough.
