Blue Eyed Girl!

Amelia, Caroline, and Blakely (Adrien's baby girl #4 is due any moment)

I heart them!

My little 5 foot 10+ inch baby boy started junior high this year, how can this be? He is doing great, no swirlies yet. His favorite class is playing clarinet in the band (apparently band is now cool?). Poor guys broke his ankle at the growth plate on labor day, so LAX is on hold for the moment, of course right after we splurged on a new helmet, wish him a speedy recovery.

Wow, what a great crew, considering there was a rain storm that evening, not bad, Judd and Emily were here visiting and we just had to get a group shot, missing them already!!!

School Days are Here Again. . .

We had an incredible summer, but fall is in the air, (kindof) and we (me) are ready for a little more routine and free time. Brig is in 5th with Mrs. Davis and Charlie has the coveted only male teacher in the school, Mr. Cassler. Both are loving their classes as much as you can love school. And miss Olivia started Kindergarten this year, wow, she is so adorable and is already making friends and having so much fun. Olivia had her assessment the first week and I was biting my nails as she kept passing on the questions, then she came to get me and I was shocked to see her eye goopy and red ( I swear she had looked great when we started 10 min previously), just as I was offering to be room mom, Amelia spit up, splat all over the floor. As my friend said, "we can only go UP from there." We are loving life at the Johnson household and feeling so blessed with our five healthy (except for the pink eye) children.

We had an amazing summer of fun. The highlight for all of us was watching Amelia grow and develop. She is such a joy and everyone fights over holding our chubby little happy girl. She is sitting and rolling and eating fruits and veggies. She loves to smile and coo at everyone and bathtimes are a hit, she especially loves trying to grab the water out of the spout.

We loved sitting out on the back porch of beautiful Brighton this summer.

Dave went to Asia for nine days in August and we went on a whirlwind adventure to finish all our summer activities on the to-do list. My sister Emily and brother Judd were here visiting with their families and it was fun fun fun. Dave had to come home and make us slow down. My little toe head dollies.
