Love that Mr. BD

I was checking some email the other day and Mr. BD came up behind me and started singin'

"One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater,
one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater,
one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater,
sure looks good to me!"

I turned around and this is what I saw...

He had been in the same room with me for quite sometime quietly playing, or so I thought... he was really quietly crafting!

This kid makes me smile daily, I LOVE IT!

Activity Day Daddy Daughter Date "Western Style"

Also the Second Day of Brock's first ever deer hunt, 5 hours away

A Father torn in two directions

What to do?

Well Kenley knew, she asked the greatest Uncle ever to go with her.

When she found out that her dad wasn't able to make it she was really sad. She said to me, "I guess if daddy can't go and Mikki (her cousin) is asking Grandpa Johnson, I could see if Clayton would take me"

Kenley came home beaming! She had a blast. She's such a lucky girl, with handfuls of Uncles and another Grandpa to choose from, she could not have gone wrong. But I think she knew that this was the perfect date for her and Clayton, her "Cowboy Uncle".

And look at what a gentleman he is!

Thank You Clayton for being daddy for the night! We love YOU!

Embryisms

Our Little E says the funniest things

We've started calling them Embryisms

Here's a few

"Marshmellow hot one" = hot chocolate

"It's a lighted day" = it's light out side

"It's a darky day" = it's dark out side

"A man" = Amen

"It's a mad show" = a scary show (pretty much any show that has a villian, which is every disney movie)

"I'n getting busy" = I'm getting dizzy

"Someday soons" = someday soon

"I'n gonna get my dressed on" = I'm gonna get my clothes on

Ode to Brod...

Happy #6 my little man

Oh, little Brod, I can't believe how big you've grown right before my eyes! This year was a party year and since your birthday was on Sunday we had your party the Friday before. Since it was before Halloween this year we got to do fun Halloween activities. We painted pumpkins, made Halloween masks, jumped on the bouncy slide, hit the pinata (like you kiddos needed any candy the day before Halloween) and had cake and ice cream.

Things Mr. B loves:

Lego's (still, probably always will)
Baukugan
Transformers
Starwars
Cars
Paperonis
Webkinz
Well lets face it, pretty much any toy he sees in the toy isle.

His favorites

food - chicken strips
drink - water
treat - finish chocolate bar
color - green

riding bikes outside
swimming
playing at the park
jumping on the trampoline
playing Super Mario Bros on the DS
learning to play the piano
singing (the kid is ALWAYS singing something, today it's one eye one horned flyin' purple people eater)
school
and just being a kid, he has a great imagination and often can be found playing in his room with his toys by himself quietly

Birthday breakfast in bed

Party Time

The Loot

My dear little Mr. B,

I remember when you were three and we used to go to the gym together and you would go in the play area and say have fun mom. We were best buddies, it was just you and I when the older kiddos were at school. Now you are gone half the day and when you get home you have two sisters to share mama's attention with. That's what happens when you grow up, now I have to share you. You are such a sweet boy, always concerned that everyone is happy and so willing to help. You have so many friends, people are drawn to you. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to me, and trusted that I would raise you to full fill your potential. It brings mixed emotions for me to see you grow up. I'm excited and sad to see my baby boy become a big boy. I hope you'll always be my little boy even when you're big. I LOVE YOU Mr. B!

LOVE, MOM

hALLoWeeN

This year we didn't have very many Halloween festivities spread throughout the month, they were all jammed into two days!!

We started early Friday morning at Mr. Brod's class party. Little E loved being a big girl with all the Kindergartners. Mr. B was so sweet to share his plate of goodies!

Then we were off to hangout with B Hunter and his class to watch Benny in the Halloween Parade. I think she had a black cupcake before the parade cause her mouth was completely black. But she was still such a cutie!

(Ben and her teacher Miss Garcia)

After that we were off to set up for Mr. B's birthday party (more on that in another post)

Saturday morning we got up and were of to the races once again.

We finished prepping and planting our flowerbeds

Then the fun started

Carving pumpkins! This year they each designed and carved their own, I didn't lift a finger, D helped them hollow out their pumpkins and carved Haddies, she's too little.

We found these funny faces at Wal-Mart and little E decided to use them for hers.

Then it was off to get some treats

We told them to pose, this is what we got

First stop G&G Johnson's for a pic with all the grand kids

yeah, that's funny, try getting three 15 month olds and a 22 month old to sit still with all that sugar in their tiny bodies!

Then off Aunt Ra Ra and Uncle Jordan's so we could trick-or-treat their neighborhood. We walked to Uncle TJ and Aunt LaChaes were we took this cute picture. Little Lil was sick so they couldn't hang out with us.

It was a fun night

Little E didn't even get scared and after every door she would look in her bag and say, "nope, it's not fulled up yet, let's go to another one"

The older three got to run ahead with dad and didn't have to stay with the slowpoke littles

Haddie got to nap in her stroller

And I fell into bed when it was all said and done...

I wish... Mr. B's birthday is TOMORROW!!

Happy Halloween...

more to come...

Hunter Safety and Brothers

Brock is 10

When you are 10 in the Johnson family you get to go on your first deer hunt

Before you can go on a hunt you have to take a hunter safety class

Can't go hunting unless you know the rules!!

Brock went last weekend

It was in Sierra Vista, the only class available before his hunt that was not on a Sunday

Dad decided to make it a boy trip and take Brody along for the ride

Brody got to see what he gets to do in 4 years

Brock passed, now he can go hunting

(these pictures were takin with D's Blackberry, pretty darn good)
On Monday Brody's teacher had him draw a picture and write a sentence about what he did over the weekend. Here's what he wrote...

(I went to the brother's hunting class)

I love that he wrote the brother

I think he had fun

Good job Brock!

Five Months...

love this little face!
she is getting more and more fun
she says ba ba ba ba ba and da da da da da
she still smiles almost every second she's awake
she recognizes her siblings and loves them to pieces
she threw up for the first time, all over Mama, yuck

she rolls belly to back...only when she feels like it
she still tries to suck her thumb (workin' on that one)
she still eats the same, no solids yet
we just can't get enough of her
love this little face!
