What's worrying me today?

Yesterday was the strangest day for our little Reese. Here she has been such an "easy" baby. Sleeping, eating and pooping like a champ. Yesterday she turned 5 weeks old and it's like a light came on and that poor girl would not sleep all day. She probably had 1 hour of sleep total the entire day. She ate fine, pooped fine, and not unusually fussy until it was time to put her to bed. She got so mad at us and cried her little heart out. I know she was so blasted tired. We finally got her to sleep and she did really well throughout the night. I'm just worried that she is all of a sudden going to turn on us for the worse. Has anyone else had this happen?

8 Years


Last April in California headed to Disneyland (pretty pathetic but we don't really have any pictures of just the 2 of us, this is as good as it gets)


"Mimi and Mike" so cute

My sister Kim got married last week. She looked beautiful and we had a great day. They couldn't be happier.....unless they were me. Today is my eight year anniversary!!! Nothing like being in our 30's, living with mom and dad, down to one car and 2 kids. But seriously...I love my honey so much. Here are some of my favorite things about travis

1. He's so darn cute
2. He is the most patient person I know (unless it's a close Jazz game, or the Masters, or, well let's face it, anything that is competitive).
3. He plays so good with Jessica. He plays the parts she needs him to play. If he needs to be prince charming then he puts on his cape. If he needs to be a "worker at target", he can be that. You name, he's done it. we are a little worried about when she asks him to "kiss me hard". YIKES!
4. He loves me!
5. We can laugh about the dumbest things over and over and over again. I love to laugh.
6. He takes good care of our family. He kicks my butt and taking care of the kids when they're sick. He is patient and gentle. There's a reason Heaven sent us 2 girls. He's so good with them.
7. Did I mention he's darn cute?
8. He knows so much about the gospel and everything related to it. He could make stuff up and I'd believe him.
9. He'll watch John and Kate Plus Eight with me (if I ask him...nicely)
10. I don't think anybody looks better dressed up in a suit than my Trav!

I love you babe! Thank you for my beautiful life and family.

Here we are. I am officially a "blogger". It's going to take some time for me to figure this out...please be patient.

We've had a crazy life so far this year. Here is a recap of what we've been up to.

1. We moved into my parents basement mid April. Currently looking for a new home.
2. Jessica had her first dance recital. We didn't know if she would actually "perform" on stage but she did great. She is our little dancer.
3. I totaled my car 2 weeks before I had a baby. Nobody was hurt! I was a little upset it didn't put me into labor. Oh well.
4. Not only are we looking for a new house but a new car as well.
5. My little sister is getting married this the 23rd of July. Jessica has been breaking in her wedding shoes. 6. We had girl #2 on June 25th. Reese Marie Johnson weighed in at 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2 " long. So much smaller than her older sister. She has been such a good sweet baby and we love her to pieces. 7. I am loving my husband more every day. He is the best dad and husband. I don't know what I would do without him. 8. On the 4th of July, only a week after Reese was born, Jessica turned 3. What a princess we have...literally!

I have a darling family and we've been very lucky to have my parents put up with us. Hopefully it won't be for too much longer.

That is us for now.
