A Very Merry Johnson Weekend...

This past weekend, Josh's brother, Adam, was in town from California, so we did a whole bunch of family Christmas celebrations while he was here. On Saturday, we went to Market Street Grill(a yummy restaurant in Salt Lake)...the wait was an hour long and Bridger was crazy tired and thus very hyper. I was just way too tired as well, so very fortunately for Bridger and I, Josh's mom took over taking care of him. I was so grateful for that, because I really needed the break! She was able to get him to settle down enough so that we could all enjoy dinner. On Sunday, we went to church with Josh's sister and her husband, so we could hear them speak in church. After that, we went to Josh's sister's house to have dinner and exchange a few presents. Adam left Sunday night, it was a short trip, but we all really enjoyed seeing him. On Monday, we went with Josh's family to see "A Christmas Carol". It was very nice...I love going to musicals, plays, ballets, etc...but do not get the opportunity to do so very often any more. Josh's aunt and her girls watched Bridger for us while we were at the play. Anyway, it was a very nice, very merry Johnson weekend! Now we are gearing up for Jordan's wedding...she gets married in just about a week!!

Thanksgiving Point Lights

Earlier this week we took Bridger to see the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We had all been sick, and were on the mend and were tired of being in the house, so we decided that would be a fun little outing. You drive through the lights in your car, so it was great to just relax and be out a little. B was so excited, he kept looking at the lights, saying "Christmas" and "Santa" and telling us what all the colors were of the various lights. He was very mesmerized, so it was difficult to get a fab picture of him, but it was very fun to see his reaction to the lights. I can't wait until we can take him to Temple Square to see all the beautiful lights there...he'll love it!

B is 2!!!

It is so crazy that B is 2 already, time has flown so quickly! He is learning so many new things and saying so many funny phrases. Sometimes it is a little scary how much he picks up on, because he repeats everything! Attached are a couple pics of B on his actual birthday, looking at a birthday card and a book he got.

He also loves to eat popcorn with daddy. The other day, J asked him if he wanted some popcorn. B kept saying, "corn corn". When J started to put the earphones back in for the iPod, B looked at him and said, "No, no, come on, corn. No no, come on!" It was so funny! Anyway, he loves popcorn, so I thought I would take a pic of him and J sitting on a blanket, eating "corn."

B's 2nd Birthday Party!

Yesterday we had B's 2nd birthday party. His birthday isn't actually until Tues, but we decided to have his party earlier because it worked better with people's schedules. Anyway, we had a great time...it all went very well. The party's theme was Disney "Cars". B loves cars, so it was a perfect choice! We had pizza for dinner, which is one of his fave foods. I made him a "Lightning McQueen"Cake, which turned out pretty cute and it was fun to make it. He got a lot of great presents from everyone, which we really appreciate. He got a tent which he has been playing in all day, along with his "Mater", "McQueen", "Sally", and "Sherriff" cars. He loves all his cars, he even had to have them with him for naptime! It's hard to believe he is already two, time sure flies very quickly! He's so much fun and we are so glad he's in our family. Happy birthday little one!

Gardner Village

Hey all! B and I went to Gardner Village and met up with a friend there. We had fun (well, my friend and I had fun) looking through all of the shops. B's favorite thing was looking at the ducks and birds...he was so excited about that...he followed the ducks everywhere they went...which can be a bit nervewracking because he probably would've followed them into the water if I let him! Anyway, after the ducks, his favorite thing was the cookie he got after lunch. Overall, he was very good and we had a fun time out!
