We are alive. We still exist. We are sorry for neglecting you. We really do love you. We are sorry. We haven't not visited you for lack of blog worthy stories, we just can't manage our time very well. We will be back soon. With lots of pictures. We will give you the attention you deserve again very soon, we promise. We will never neglect you again.
Love,
The Johnson Family.

So there are a couple things I have to report....
1. JEFF GOT A JOB! Wahoo :) He is working at a Rehabilitation and Senior Care Center called Kolob. I think he will really like it there, and it is a good place to be when you want to go to shool for Nursing because they offer tuition reimbursment!
2. Jeff passed his state exams for his CNA and he is now officially certified!.. Now onto LPN!
3. There is an awesome preschool here in town and the teacher has decided to start a 3 year old class this Fall. Even though JJ won't be 3 until December, she has agreed to take him and I am SO excited for him, I think he will do so good, and have so much fun! I am really excited for him to be around other kids and be more social.
4. We are also in potty training mode! Not very many accidents, only 2 in 3 days :) He looks so dang cute in his little boxer briefs. Dad wont let him wear briefs, he says they are girly and look like panties haha.. I will get some pics of him in his cute boxers, he is so proud of them and loves to wear them! He still has yet to do numero dos, but he has been promised a HUGE present from Grandma and Grandpa, and a pool in our new backyard from mom and dad... Wouldn't that make you dookie?!?!?!!?
Thats about all for the fun stuff.. Here are a couple pics from our recent park pic-nic.... This kid is so dang handsome.. Hes gonna be a heartbreaker!
Cute family photo op :)
Daddy swingin his boy.. doesn't he look excited?
This one's for you Les.. Here is the new blonde coif.. and the bangs I braved :) O, ps.. Brad, I am smiling in this one.. No mug shot this time :)
I was just staring at him... I was hoping I could capture the perfect handsomness and preciousness through the lens! I love this boy...
I will begin with a moment to capture the very essence of our Memorial Day camping weekend.................
We had so much fun camping! We went to a place called Oak Grove.. GORGEOUS!!!!! If anyone wants to come camping in these parts.. call me for directions, you will find no better place... ( except for Deer Haven... right Central Stake girls???!!?!?!) Camping is just in my blood... for me it is a place to really relax and just come back off my high from the everyday chaos. Every time I get the opportunity to camp, my mind races back to girls camp days! I love to do it, and what better person to do it with than this sexy man :) 
Ok this was a bad shot... sorry you have to witness this.
Here is our little family the very last night. You can see on our faces and you can probably smell the stinch oozing from your moniter right now!
Makin smores!
Kolbey needed some supermodels to photograph, we just couldnt say no and dissapoint.
Reall though.. On a serious note.. How sexy and cute is this man!!?!? My life is truley not complete without him.....
and him too....
I love this little man..... He was SO much fun to take camping, it was his first trip, and boy did he have a blast!!
I was trying to take a nap and Jeff was camera happy... So I Played along!
So did he.....
This was the first day, can't you see how nice and clean we are.. and look my makeup is still on! ( NO I don't wear makeup to camp, I had to work that morning, and went straight to camp when I got off!!!)
How could you not wanna kiss all over that face??????
He had NO FEAR of bugs out in the wild... but you get him back to the big city, and he thinks a fly may kill him :)
So, Camping was a total blast! We had a ton of fun with Lisa and Shane and the kids, and can't wait to do it again!
Moving on to some random things we have been up to lately.. And when I say 'we'... I mean this guy...
Who 'paints' his toes.....
Packs himself to move... REAL hard worker this one is....
Puckers for the camera.....
Models the latest haloween fashions......
Loves to put on mascara......
And eat peanut butter......
Who lOvEs to wear his daddys hat......
And mow the lawn.....
And visit the Temple with daddy.....
Who LoVeS to blow bubbles with his awesom Buzz Lightyear Bubble Machine....
And who LoVes him some Batman.....
And the little one who can steal my heart.....
Just by smiling.........
And just being.........
We are alive and well.. We just moved this last weekend, it was an interesting experience becuase our A/C went out the first night, in a brand new condo!!!! So that didnt get fixed until tuesday night.. Interesting weekend! We are still up in the air with where everything is, so I am wearing the same pair of pants every day :)
We get to go camping this weekend for Memorial Day, we are so excited to get away for a couple days! Plus, its a perfect vacation for people who are in the middle of moving and dont know where their clothes are, we can just wear the same outfit everyday!!
There hasnt been any grand news to share, or grand events that we have attended.. we have been visiting the local splash pad here almost every day and JJ LOVES it! I think it will definatly be our summer event.. We have also been BBQing a lot lately, I love summer BBQ's at dusk! Other than that we have just been working and moving!
No pictures today, I am posting this at work (naughty, I know!) But I will have a fun post when we get back from camping with some fun pics.. I have some pretty funny pics of JJ being a little menace, they make me smile!
Until then, everybody have a fuin Memorial Day weekend and... Happy Blogging!
Happy late Easter! I have so much to blog about its not even funny... I will start with a really funny picture of JJ in his hat and scarf Grandma Johnson made for him at Christmas. Jeff said that he looks like Ralphies little brother from Christmas story haha! Lots of pictures follow, so I will blog about those when you get there....
Here is a couple of our quick snapshots after church on Easter. JJ looked so cute in his little vest and shirt, I probably should have devoted more time to doing pictures, but it was Easter.. we wanted Easter dinner!!
We decided to color Easter eggs before church on Sunday, we don't have church until 1 and Jeff wasnt able to do the hunt with us on Saturday becasue he was at work, so we did a little coloring and hunt with just the three of us....
How stinkin' cute is this picture???!! I love his little facial expression in it!
These are the pictures from Saturday night before Easter at Grandma and Grandpa Campbell's house.. He was loving the hunting, but the chocolate even MORE! If you notice in all these pics, there are hardly any eggs in his basket... It's because everytime he found an egg, he would open it and eat the candy inside and then ditch the empty egg... SMART kid!
JJ LOVES LOVES LOVES to help 'Gampa" with any task possible! JJ was 'holding' the hammer for Grandpa while he was fixing the TV stand.. I just thought this was a cute pic!
JJ LOVES to wear his daddys hat! Anytime he can get a hold of one, it goes right on top of his head :)
Daddy's little shadow.. He was mowin the lawn and JJ had to get his hand in there somehow!
I dont' know how many of you participated on Earth Day, but there was an hour of time that everyone decided worldwide to go without power for one whole hour. We decided to participate, so we turned off all the lights inside and out, fired up the BBQ and had a candlelight dinner on the front porch! It was a really good time and makes a really fun memory for us to have.
TADA! Here follows the infamous bathroom remodel.. It is FINALLY DONE!!! With the exception of the baseboards. They still need to be purchased and cut.. but hey cut me some slack....
Here are the slate floors.. with the addition of my bright pink toes!
The view from the hallway.....
So.. thats the bathroom... And now, for the classic 2 year old moment.... JJ decided that it would be fun to smash gum into his hair, and he is lucky that he is a boy cause mama didnt even mess with the peanut butter to get it out.....
