Pumpkin Carving and Halloween

So next on our very busy month of October we carved some really cool pumpkins. The boys were totally grossed out and didn't want to touch the gusts. Kelsie helped out with that. She has gotten pretty brave. She also helped Bridger carve his pumpkins. They turned out pretty cute.





Halloween I had a really great idea and invited my sisters and their children over for Chili and then we could all go trick-or-treating. I made homemade chili, it was very yummy. The kids all got ready and we all went trick-or-treating. FUN!FUN!FUN! At the end of the night, when Garret said his bag was finally full. We hoped in the car and Garret rolled out the door when Kelsie opened it. She didn't see him because he was rolled up around his candy against the door. Well Garret had a huge goose bump and also broke his right arm. That make three broken arms. What a way to end Halloween. The next day was The Johnson/Law Family Halloween Party. We had a really fun and exciting weekend. I even ended up getting a really bad case of Strep throat.



I am wearing my witch skirt I made, just in case you were wondering.

What else is New?

What else is new? Humm...Alot actually, it was just October one of the most craziest month ever here at our house. We actually have had a busy month.
Bridge and Garret get bored, as do I, so we made a little craft. A pumpkin man.

Gardner Village hosts a Witches Night Out every year. We all went last year and it was a blast. I even made my own witch skirt, my wonderful mother actually help me alot. It was a fun night we danced and screamed all night. I forgot my camera so you will have to check out one of my sisters blogs and maybe they will have a picture.
I decided to go to Lagoon since every time we drive by the kids all say they wish they could go there. And so since I'm totally the mother of all mothers I made there wish come true, after breaking the bank to go. Garret is a adrenalin (spelling?) junky. He loved all the rides and when he went on the high ones he would look over the edge. He wanted to go on everything. But he is still a little too short. We all had fun. That night we had a ward halloween party so we left around 4:00 and then Aaron and I came back for the adult rides. WAHOO!! That's what I was saying before I went to Lagoon that morning. I was so worn out the night before was Witches Night out. I am not a little kid any more. All the rides seriously made me sick. My head spun all night long. But I do have to say the best ride ever was WICKED!!

We got some family photo done. Can I just say thanks alot for cancelling on me photographer person that I had schedule back in July. I didn't know what to do. I called another photographer who lives down the street from me. He is amazing and does a really good job. But you have to pay an amazing photographer an amazing amount of money too. Didn't know that! So yeah!
Kelsie lost another tooth. When she got home from school she sat down on the couch and pulled it right out. The tooth fairy had a really busy night she didn't make it but she came the next night.

30th Birthday Bash!

I have really been slacking on blogging. I do check up on those that I stock but heck it sometimes is a pain in the rear to keep up on your on. Anyways I am going to work on that.
So October 11, 1978 the most beautiful, precious little baby girl was born. (she was aleast an improvement from her old sister) :) Her name is Brandilee, daughter of Robert and Denese Webster. She has brought so much joy into every persons life she come in contact with. What kind of world would it be if there wasn't a Brandilee Webster Johnson. SERIOUSLY! HAHAHA!
October 11th I celebrated my big "30". It was a fun night. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, my fav, and then back home for cake and ice cream. And to my surprise my most wonderful husband planned a surprise slumber party with my most favorite people, My Sista's, Mom and Sista-n-Laws!! Missed you my dear sister Amy! It was a blast. We played and laughed all night.
Some people might ask, do you feel 30 or old? I actually do this year, my body is really doing wacky things and it really sucks. Just check out the awesome double chin I've grown! So right it sure is GRRREAT being 30!

I NEED SOME HELP!!

So I need some help finding a really good photographer. I thought I had one all setup for this fall but she decided to take a break for the rest of the year. I am totally bummed. I really wanted to do some really cute family photos outside.
So does anyone know anyone that does really good photography?

Birthday Parties

So now that life has calmed down a bit, I have a few minutes to post about the birthday's. Well for Bridger and Garret's birthday we took them to Chuck 'e Cheese and invited a few cousins to join. It was seriously the funniest time ever. I guess I'm still a kid and so are my sisters. The boys and Kelsie loved the place. They kept running from one game to the next and never stopped. We finally grabbed them to open a few presents and then headed home from cake and ice cream. Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Dave and Great Grandma and Grandpa Webster came over too.
Their most excited gift was "Giengiens" The Little Einsteins Rocket. Don't know why they pronoun it that way but they do. It is their most favorite show in the whole wide world.
Happy Birthday Boys! I love you guys so much.

Kelsie's Birthday was a much more busy day than the boys. We planned a party with her friends and invited 10 of them. I know, I know that's alot but only 8 of them actually came. I planned it on a cupcake - brown and pink party theme. I made cupcake invitation and aprons with pink and brown ribbon for the girls to take home. It turned out so cute. We started out decorating cupcakes, then played musical chairs, stick the jeweled heart on the crown, then hit a pinata, opened presents and then blew out birthday candle and ate ice cream. We had about an hour left so all the girls just played with all the new toys. Kelsie has some really cute friends.
After the party was over we went to Wingers for dinner with her favorite friend Kassidy and then went home for cake and ice cream with the Grandparents. Kelsie is always very spoiled. She got a new bike, easy bake oven, a few polly pockets, a couple art kits, some clothes and press on nails.
It was a little crazy but we had a lot of fun. Happy Birthday Kelsie. We love you a ton! Hope you had a wonderful day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSIE!!!

Today is Kelsie's 7th birthday. WoW!! Can't believe 7 years just blew by. Happy Birthday Kels I love you so much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Today is Bridger and Garret's 4th Birthday.

Happy Birthday boys! I love you so much and hope you have a fun day!!

An Update...

So the last month has been a crazy busy month. And it this just might be a really long post.
August 19 - 23 we were able to take a very last minute trip to Maui to visit my Dad. Hollie was able to get two buddy passes and I used skymiles for my ticket. It was really nice weather this trip, no rain. Our condo was right on the beach, 23 steps from our lanai to be exact. It was amazing! We went snorkeling a few times and went to the beach just about everyday. We even found a little cliff to jump off of. Aaron tried surfing and I think next time we might have to pay for some lessons. Dad has a buddy that has his pilots license and he schedule a day for us to take a little plane ride around Maui. I have to admit I was seriously terrified but it ended up being a really awesome ride. It was beautiful. THANKS DAD!! Oh and I can't forget about the donuts. Dad took us to this bakery, he told us these were the best donuts and once you eat them you will never want a Krispie Kream again. Well he order a dozen and a half on a stick. Well each stick had 5 donuts and they are made from sourdough. We had alot of donuts. We were so full of donuts we didn't eat for the rest of the day.

August 25th was the first day of school. Kelsie was so excited and couldn't wait to actually eat at school. Everyone I talk to says she has the best teacher and we are really excited about that. Kelsie loves learning and reading. But hates doing homework.


September 6th Kelsie started soccer and Tumbling. No dance this year, she has decided she doesn't really care for it. So between school homework, soccer and tumbling we stay pretty busy around here.





September 12th all three of the kids got to ride in the Lead Line at the State Fair. They all got a Trophy and a Blue Ribbon. They couldn't decided on the winner so everyone there won.



September 8th we had a very sad day. Grandpa Art Johnson passed away. He had a massive stroke on Thursday the 4th, the doctors were not able to help him due to his health. He was able to be surrounded by all of his family at home. It was a very spiritual and peaceful experience. He was an amazing man. He loved all of his family very much and was such an awesome example to all of us. I always felt so welcome and loved by him. He will be missed very much. LOVE YOU GRANDPA and BEHAVE!!

Well I hope that gives you all a little update on whats been going on here at our crazy Johnson home.

Webster Reunion

So I'm a little slow on posting this. We had our very first Webster Reunion. It was a lot of fun. We went to the Ranch in Arbon. It was really hot but fun. It is always nice seeing all the cousin we don't see much. Can't wait for next year.

A Great Run

This morning at the Davis County Fair they did a Kids Run. The kids had so much fun. They all got a number and also won a medal. This was the first year they did a kid run, I think it will be a fun tradition. Next year I think I might try and do the 5k. We will see.
Last night we took the kids to the Fair to ride some of the ride. Can I just say it is really a waste of money. We paid $20 and they all only rode 3 rides. Garret was not happy at all, he could have rode all night long.
Here are some pictures of our fun events.
