Miss Dimples!

You've got to love those cheeks! Here is our little Kiley -She is now 4 months old! (Today)

She is truly such an angel baby. I don't quite know where the last 4 months have gone.... time sure flies once these little people arrive.

Her Right foot is doing great! She has 1 more month of full time brace wear (we opted out of the brace for the picture), and then just at night for .... who knows... up to 3 years!

The Barbie Scooter

Last week, I walked my 2 oldest girls to school, Whitney road a scooter, and she decides I should just take her scooter home for her. So, after kisses and byes, I turn around to go home. In hand I hold the barbie scooter, and it starts calling my name. So what do I do? What any 30+ year old would do, I jump on and start riding the 2 blocks to my home.

At first, I am doing great, just cruising along, feeling free and feeling quite cool... Have you riden one? They are quite fun, ...well really fun until .....BAM BOOM CRASH!!!!

You would have thought that I ran into a pot hole, as I flew through the air and onto my tummy! Yes I crashed! A dad stopped to see if I was okay. Sure I said with blood on my hands and ankles. It wasn't so much the physical wounds that did me in, it was the kids across the street pointing and laughing at me! Sad sad....mean little stinkers, laughing at the old lady on the scooter!Well I brushed myself off, and I did mount that little scooter again, and finished my last block, bloody and with a shot ego. Well, maybe next time I'll just push the scooter home, um, then again... maybe not.

Something fun to blog about.....

So my little sister Cheri had this on her blog, and I just thought it inspired me with something fun to blog about....

3 joys:
1. Order - when things are in their place and everything is clean = great joy! Derek shared the scripture at FHE about "The kingdom of God is not filthy" and so the Johnson's kingdom is not going to be filthy - although it is a little inevitable as we are still unpacking. But what a happy thought.
2. My children and my husband - what can be better than a 3 year old (my Emmie) singing at the top of her lungs in the basket as we are shopping in Target "I am a child of God" (love those moments.)
3. My bed - after 2 months without it, I really do love my bed!

3 Fears:
1. Bugs, Spiders, snakes... yuck - enough said
2. Being hurt by someone, or my children being hurt by someone
3. Jumping off house boats - at Lake Powell Derek tried to get me to jump off the top of the house boat, and I just couldn't do it.

3 Obsessions:
1. The office - Love a good laugh
oh and The biggest loser - love to be motivated to be healthy
2. Finding a good deal - so much fun, LOVE sales and stuff.
3. My kids - I love them to death - esp. little Kiley right now - she is such a great baby!

3 Surprising Facts:
1. It is difficult for me to go to bed with a messy house (I will stay up until ridiculous hours to clean and have things straight). Plus I really do like to clean.
2. I like to play the piano when I am feeling crazy!
3. I'm not very good at tech stuff, I do minimal things on the computer, and can barely text, it takes me hours to do a simple sentence.

Now if any of you friends out there read this... I am tagging all of you. Then maybe some of you will update your blogs, this will give you something to blog about! FUN FUN!
