Blessing Weekend

Anna Marie Johnson was blessed in church on June 5th 2011.

The family was able to come and enjoy our blessing day with us at church and then came over for lunch afterwards. We are so grateful we have such supportive families!!!

The same weekend we were also able to get some pictures taken by Katelyn (Jensen) Phipps who I was able to get to know (breifly) through a couple friends, Amber B. and Ray & Ingrid D. We had our children's grandparents come for the pictures and are so pleased at how they turned out.

Here are some photo's from the session we did with Katelyn... enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend:

Reid and I decided that we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of our lives and enjoy a nice road trip to Santa Fe, NM. It was suppose to be about a 8 hour drive but since we had to stop about every 3 hours to feed Anna it turned into a 10ish hour drive. We spent the first night by ourselves in a hotel and since I was able to find a hotel with kitchens in each room we were able to cook dinner instead of battling with the kids at a restaurant. It was so nice to be able to just relax with Reid and the kids. The following day we met up with Cole, Marissa and their beautiful daughters Chayse and Lucy. I think it was more like a 4 1/2 hour drive for them from Lubbock, Tx. We were so happy to meet our new niece Lucy! Colton had a wonderful time with his older cousin Chayse. I enjoyed spending some time with Marissa and Reid was so happy to see his brother again! We stayed from Saturday to Monday afternoon and then made the trek back home. I think we did decide that we aren't the biggest fans of Santa Fe, NM.... it was always super windy and it felt even more dry than Phoenix (I didn't know that was even possible!). But we had a great time despite the windy conditions. Anna turned 4 weeks old this past week and had her well baby visit. She is 50th for weight and height. 9lbs 2-5oz and 21 1/2 inches long. They said she is still a bit jaundice so we had to go get her foot pricked again. :(  I should be hearing back today on the results. On a lighter note, my parents are coming into town TONIGHT and  I'm so excited to see them again. They are coming to town because Anna will be getting blessed by her daddy this Sunday. :)

Colton started saying prayers with us, when Reid starts saying the dinner prayers he stops what he is doing, folds his arms and then after we say Amen, he says.... AAAAAMEN. Gotta love it!

I think that's about it by way of new news... till next time!
