Cute Randomness...

Here are some cute random pictures. I will post a few more later! Enjoy!

Bridger-isms...

Here's a couple things Bridger said yesterday...I want to remember them...love that funny kid!
-At lunch he didn't want to finish his oranges, so he said, "My tummy hurts. I think I have a tummy infection."
-Bridger had preschool yesterday, but his teacher wasn't the one who got him out of the car as we dropped him off(she usually is the one to get him out), so I asked him if Mrs. Jensen was there today. He started to say yah, but then changed to the following, "No, she wasn't there today." So I asked him who was and he replied, "No one...the kids were in charge. Well mostly, one kid was in charge and we just hung out and stuff." Then he starts laughing and said, "I'm just kidding...Mrs. Jensen was there today!"

Christmas...

This post is extremely long, so feel free to just look at the pics and call it good if you'd like...I just wanted to at least sort of journal a bit of what happened. Also, sadly I have the same problem every year...we never get many pictures on Christmas because one of us is videoing everything and the other is helping with presents, so I am at least glad everything is on video...

Christmas Eve my parents, Whitney, Dani and JD came down to our house late that night, so that they could be here for Christmas. My other sisters were going to in-laws for Christmas, so I thought it would be fun to have everyone else down for Christmas. I love Christmas, everything about it...I love our Savior and his birth and the reason we celebrate. I love the feeling of giving, the music, the traditions, everything. I think it is especially wonderful when you have little ones...they are so fun and make Christmas that much more exciting! It was great to have my family down here with us. Our tree looked overloaded with all the gifts, by the time you factored in all the gifts my family brought down. Santa was good to the kiddos...Kenna got a bunch of clothes, books, a musical tea set, and more. Bridger got a game, books, clothes, and wait for it...a dog...yep, can you believe it?! I won't go too much into that for now...that could be a post in and of itself...us and a dog....I'll let you know how that is going. Anyway, Bridger was so excited he could hardly stand it...he didn't know what to do. Santa left a note saying there was one more gift in the garage, so he ran there and when he saw a dog he was giddy! He wanted to know if that was really for him, and he asked Josh if he was really going to let him have a dog! He named (with a bit of help to avoid him duplicating names of dogs he already knows) his dog Dasher...Dash for short. Dasher is a cute dog, a ridiculous amount of work, but it made Bridger's Christmas and he still loves the dog! Josh and I got a folding table and folding chairs from my parents...we were very excited about that because every time we have people over, we never have enough chairs. Josh gave me some adorable shirts and sweaters (I was so excited for that because I've been in dire need of clothes...lol) and a couple of gorgeous pictures of Christ. I gave him some shirts (he was not too excited about that ;)) and a nice pair of snow pants. After all the present excitement, we cleaned up the best we could, and got to work on dinner. We had turkey, stuffing, rolls, jello, salad, potatoes and gravy, and brownies. It was super delicious! After eating, my family headed home. It was great to have them here and it was an awesome Christmas!

Josh's great grandma was in town, so we got them all together for a 5 generation picture...pretty crazy because it's not very often that you can get 5 generations!

Julie...Feli...Neil

Kayley...

Yep, dark and cheesey...lol

Mark...

Kenna loves her candy...

...Opening Rocky...

Rocky...it's a pretty cool toy...I think Uncle Adam did a great job picking out a perfect toy...

We spent Christmas Eve with Josh's family. We had a delicious dinner, enjoyed visiting, had a little Christmas quiz, and then present time. We were very spoiled! Josh got Call of Duty for the Xbox, a book, and a tie...I got a super cute coat and scarf, Bridger got a remote control car that flips over, Rocky the Robot Truck (from Adam and Ashley), an airplane that you paint (from Adam and Ashley also), and clothes...Kenna got very cute clothes, books, a doll, and a glow worm. We also got an awesome DVD that Feli, Neil, and Kayley made of the kids...I absolutely love it and would have to say it is my favorite gift because it captures my kids at this age and some of the things that I love about them. I'll have to post that on here sometime for anyone who wants to see it...it is seriously awesome! We had a great time with everyone and it was fun to just all be together! When we got home, we let Bridger open his Christmas jammies, he quickly put out cookies and watched me throw out the reindeer food because he was so tired...then he was excited to go to bed so that Santa could come!

Reindeer...

Can you tell how excited about it that he was?! Little cutie!

These next three are kind of goofy...the family was not feeling the spirit of taking pictures to document our holiday lights experience...so yep, they are not too excited about it...especially Kenna...ha ha...I love my family!

We went to see Santa's reindeer at Thanksgiving Point on December 19...Bridger even got to pet them and feed them! He thought it was great! He was so excited and was telling them where he lives so that Santa would know where to go! We decided that the two reindeer there were Dasher and Blitzen! After seeing the reindeer, we drove through the holiday lights display...it was awesome and the kids loved it because we let them get out of their car seats so they could see the lights better! Bridger has always had a fascination with Christmas lights since he was a week or two old...seriously, I've never seen anything quite like it...lol!

December 14, 2009...

Kenna and her great grandpa Johnson...

Yep, creative title, I know! I wanted to post some pictures from Kenna's actual birthday. On the evening of her birthday we had an extended Johnson family party to go to, so I also wanted to post a couple of pics from that as well! Also, side note, but today I noticed that Kenna...the slowest teether in the world (so I thought)...all of a sudden has two molars that have poked through, one that is nearly through and the 4th is not far behind...crazy! Also, just wanted to make note so that I remember how Kenna gives "kisses"...she puts her face on your face and then smells you! It is hilarious...you can hear her sniff...I think she just thinks you are supposed to make a sound or something, so she chooses to smell! She also likes to smell her blankie...she puts her fingers in her mouth, puts her blankie to her nose and sniffs it...loud...funny girl!
