We're still alive....barley!

Wow we have been swamped with life. With all of us in school, except Camryn, we are all very focused.....well maybe not focused but side tracked. It seems life forever since I have updated the blog. So here we go, lets see if I can fit in 4-5 months of the Johnson life.

Camryn turned 2 in March and Shaylee turned 9 in April. We did a small combined family birthday party.

 
They were both spoiled rotten. Shaylee was so excited to get a telescope. It wasn't long before she had it set up and was looking through it. Camryn has just barley learned that she can steer her four wheeler, so no more running into moms car and the fence. :)

And of course school got out for the summer and the kids had a good summer. They played sports and we spent some time in Vernal with family. The kids also spent a lot of time outside on the tramp.

 

We had a really fun camping trip up in Vernal with my parents. We went fishing for about 3 hours with no fishing poles. Papa taught us how to noodle. It was interesting for all of us. Nick was so funny, he was very determined to catch a fish. I think that we would of had to leave him there if he had not caught one by the time we left.

 

Lanie celebrated her 6 birthday and then a couple of weeks later got to ride the mutton busting at the Vernal Rodeo. She was the only girl that night and was able to kick butt and win 1st place.

 

 

Family Pics

We couldn't of planned our family pictures on a better day. It was so beautiful yesterday. It was almost 60 degrees. The older kids were good, but of course there was Camryn. She will be 2 in 2 weeks. She was a wild child. She would hardly smile. It is just luck that we got what we did. :)

Of course Lanie is not looking at the camera.

If you notice, Nick is basically confining Camryn. She was wanting down to chase the horses.

This is the only time she smiled! I should of had her dad take her pictures. Little pill.

Oops, I uploaded the wrong pic. The other one Taylers eyes are open.

This is a perfect example of how little Camryns photo shoot went.

I just love this picture. I sure wish Camryn would of been good. Abby has her restricted from everything!

Little Miss Priss. Lanie will be 6 in June. Time is flying.

The only one we got with all the kids with out Camryn freaking out.

Sha-bug is growing up fast also. She will be 9 in 3 weeks.

Tayler just turned 11

The best picture we got of Camryn.

Love the mouth Camryn.

Abby will be 11 this summer. She has grown up so much in the past 6 months.

Denver Brancos Game

Nick and I went to Denver with some friends, Nate and Traci. We went and watched the Denver Broncos play the Patriots. It was really fun. Traci and I was going for the Patriots and Nick and Nate was going for Denver. So it was fun to watch our team kick Denver's butt. Ha Ha Big stadium and 75,000 people were there. We really had good seats.

The game was over and we were waiting for the crowd to clear out a little. Well I was, and everyone else was gathering crap!! haha (popcorn, peanuts, and other un-opened food.)

Me and Traci

Nick had a good time even know his team that he was cheering for was getting their butts kicked!

Mile High Stadium. Getting ready to go in.

So the night before the game we all went out to Dinner at the Brazilian restaurant. All of us (Me, Nick, Nikki, Randy) knew that Nate was going to propose to Traci. We were all trying to eat and enjoy our meal, but was in much anticipation waiting for him to pop the question. It was really sweet. I am so happy for them. They are such a cute couple.

2 things that you can count on!!

The 2 things you can count on with Camryn is: 1 she always has a cheesy smile, 2 she loves riding CoCo. And if your are lucky you get both at the same time.

I was trying to get her to act like she was in a rodeo....I think it may of worked.

Can we say, CHEESE!!??

It is a good thing that she can't tip it over while she is rocking it. Although she tips it over when she gets off all the time.

I was changing her bum, as soon as I let go to get a diaper, she was off. She ran to her dad for protection. In this picture she is showing me her muscles.

To focused on what was on the TV

She is a ham for sure!

Nice Elk

On our way to Vernal, we seen 3 nice bull elk just over the east side of Indian Canyon. One was by it's self. But the other 2 were together. The kids thought it was awesome. I personally hate taking cool pictures like this and then they just sit there on my computer, so I am blogging them. Haha

This one is harder to see, but there are two bulls next to each other. You can really only see the 2nd ones horns.

Both of them looking right at us.

I think he is waiting for us to leave so he can cross the road and go eat out of the fields. He was a nice bull.

This is when we first seen him. We were just driving along, and I seen him first and was so excited, that I actually swore...oops, sorry kids.

This is the 1st one we seen. He was a ways off the road eating in a pasture.

Over the mountains to Grandmas & Papas House

When we went to Vernal to visit Grandma and Papa Young, Papa decided to take the kids sledding. Well we usually hook up to the truck and he pulls us through the fields. But since winter has not been very snowy, we drove up the mountain a little. There was just enough snow to make it work. They kids had a blast. It was nice and warm. Even Grandma and Papa went down once.

Just getting ready to go sledding.

Lanie like it until she went fast and far, and got mud all over her face, and in her teeth. That was great to watch.

My Sha-bug is getting so big.

Abby and Shaylee went down together.

Tayler taking it easy, waiting for his turn.

Nick was trying to get Lanie to look up at me, she had speckles of mud all over her face. She was embarrassed I guess. They went together and got dirty.

Christmas 2011

We was able to have all of together this year for Christmas. It was so nice. We didn't do anything fancy this year. Just tried to enjoy each others company for the holiday. But of course their grandparents spoiled them rotten, like always.

The pillows that Grandma Kim made them. So cute, and comfy!

Camryn opening her rocking horse, CoCo, she loves him.

The only thing that Lanie wanted for Christmas was a snow globe. She must of been a good girl.

Shay loved her monster doll that Santa brought.

Abby was so excited to see that Santa had given her a Rip-Stick. She learned to ride it that day. Didn't take her long, but me and Nick are still working on it. lol

Tayler got a 3D rubics Ball. It is fun and entertaining.
