Idaho

This was Jett this morning as I unpacked. He is in a little MOOD.


Idaho is one of my favorite places to go. There is great shopping and great friends. We went to Idaho this last week to visit some friends and family and help Barrett pack and drive home from School. I thought having a week we would get to see everyone we would love to see, but having a baby with you ruins a lot of plans. He travelled really well but he hated the heat and it made for short days in 'Town'.Not the greatest picture, but we have to see Jett and Dax together. Maybe Josh's will turn out better. Jett wanted to hold his hand.
Grandpa actually asked to hold Jett. I almost had a heart attack.

My new Nanny, Jozlyn. She loved holding Jett and always kept him very entertained in the car.

Trish Eve Taylor and Ruger also loved little Jett.

We also went to Idaho for a quick weekend in april that I never told you about. Here are the pictures.
I also posted some amazing before and after photos of my latest project on the Hire To Inspire blog. Check it out by clicking on the button on the top right of my page.

Family Tradition!!

I believe my dad owned seven cars at once and maybe half of them worked. To this day it still drives my mom crazy!! He stores a few at the house, a few on the street,and a couple tarped behind the shed. His famous and favorite quotes are "I'm going to be buried in the Oldsmobile Station Wagon" and "a guy can never have to many cars."

So when my friends ask why I have three cars I just say,"Well it's family tradition." Actually we never sought out to own three cars.. but I just recently received a brand new company vehicle. So Brooke drives the Mazda, I drive the HHR, and Jett drives the Ford until someone buys it!!

O yeah, and here is the latest catch...25 inches log 9 inch girth, rainbow, size 18 Adam's. We kept him for fish fry. Fish On!




And here I am running with a naked baby after an ocean bath.

Lake Day!

My friend from High School, Suzy, is in town and we haven't seen each other since the college days. We have all been married for a few years and had a child since then so it was really fun to get together. Parker was the most mobile, and Jett was the most sleepy. Val didn't make the picture, but we had a really good time! Next year all the kids will be able to keep themselves entertained and I will be running around chasing a kid! It was so nice to see Suzy and spend time with all the girls. I can't wait to do it again!

OH, and yes I dyed my hair dark. This is not the greatest picture, I will post better shots next week after I am home from IDAHO!

Stampede Parade

I won tickets to watch the parade from 'the best seats in the city'. I was really excited but I wasn't sure what all that meant. SO I invited 3 friends (Debbie, Bree and Tanis) to watch the parade with me from the comfort of la-z-boys. I was expecting some nice chairs just next to the curb. When we walked to where we would be watching them there were 4 massive chairs up on scaffolding where they were broadcasting the radio! We got a bag full of goodies, I was on the radio again (joyous. I hate hearing my own voice) and I got some tickets to the rodeo! They even brought us all breakfast and hot chocolate. It was quite the day! I have to admit, this is the best way to see the parade!


This is my cousin Tim and uncle Gary. They were driving people in the parade!



The friendly horse 'cleaner' is even dressed for the stampede.No parade would be the same without some Canadian Mounties!

Canada Day

For Canada Day we went to our stakes big celebration. They had a flag raising ceremony, a petting zoo, a bbq, dessert, a bouncy house, a 'fishing' station, face painting, and all sorts of other fun activities.
After that we went to the lake at my parents house. It was a wonderful way to spend a day in the middle of the week! Check out Jett's little speedo! I love how his belly is so big that his shirt can't stay down.





Mick wasn't quite sure what to do when we sang the national anthem. Canadians don't do this! Haha...

This Week

What is new this week - Jett tried rice cereal. He thought it was the best thing ever. Skip that milk stuff, I want the real food. You have been holding out on me!

Mick's favorite store Bass Pro Shops came to calgary. We used to spend many saturdays in Denver driving to this store. He was so excited to bring this shirt back for Jett. I am sure they will spend a lot of time there in the years to come.

This is Jett's new friend Crew.
Crew giving Jett a hug, we LOVE the new mohawk.We have been having a good summer so far. It has been warm out, and I also moved some of our furniture out onto the patio. No, not patio furniture, but our indoor furniture. I figured it was covered. Jett can't really go into the sun for a few more months anyways (too young for sunscreen) so we go outside and I read while Jett plays on his exersauser or his play mat. I also am very lucky to get to spend a lot of time with my mom, either laying out in her yard by the lake or just running errands. I love having someone to talk to besides a four month old and I get some help lugging the child and all his necessities around.

I hope I have more exciting things to post about this summer, but it really has been nice having this time at home and just relaxing. Now if I could just keep my house clean, life would be perfect!

The Weekend

In typical Johnson tradition, Jett got dressed as a girl today! I thought the outfit of my mom’s was so cute we had to try it on! Wouldn’t he make such a pretty girl?

To celebrate the sunny day we had on Sunday we all gathered on Joel & Debbie’s new and highly controversial patio furniture. It was so fun to be outside with all the kids. The big boxes proved to be very entertaining for the boys AND grandpa! At one point we used the boxes as a play pen and threw some food and toys in there for them to play with! They look like little puppies!

On Saturday I went to a friend’s wedding while Mick stayed home at my mom and dad’s house with the sleeping Jett. I was a little worried about Mick not hearing Jett cry if he woke up because I knew he would be out fishing. This is what I came home to see.
