Anna turns two - Wizard of Oz colors
April 30th 2011 we welcomed an adorable dark brown haired baby girl to our family! This weekend we celebrated our little blonde haired (promise she didn't get switched in the hospital) 2nd birthday. We are so grateful to have her in our family! Here are some photos from the weekend.

| The day after Anna was born with big brother Colton. |
Lions and Tigers and Bears.... OH MY! I went with the colors from the wizard of oz, it made for a cute and colorful party! And what better place to have a Wizard of Oz colored party than at a super cute park in Chandler, AZ that is country themed! So much grass and trees in the park it reminds me of Kansas. ;)
 |
| Baby bump alert! |
 |
| Even the ramadas are barns! |
 |
| Starting Anna young, she got a princess hair care set (see her playing with the hair straightener?!). And the blow dryer is battery operated. |
 |
| Great Grandma Bartlett gave Anna quarters to put into her piggy bank at home. |
 |
| Somewhere over the rainbow.... |
 |
| Jimmy Johns sandwich party platter for dinner (my favorite, but they forgot to add the alfalfa sprouts on the "Turkey Toms") |
 |
| These are now my favorite drink. sparkling 100% fruit juice, 0 sugar added, and 0 preservatives. I got them from Costco. They taste just like soda (you can find them in the juice section of Costco!) |
 |
| Its not a party without chips! |
 |
| Watermelon! |

22 weeks? No... 25 1/2 weeks!
Well, you know in my last post how I said I was 22 weeks pregnant but it felt more like 37....
I went in for my check up yesterday morning at 8am and came out finding that the baby is measuring more on the 25 week size (26 weeks on monday). That would push my due date from July 22nd to July 1st assuming I measure just as large at my next appt. Doctor says I look great (ALL BABY) and need to rest more so I don't throw myself into preterm labor. I'm still able to do a 8 minute mile on the elliptical at the YMCA and the doctor gave another green light to keep working out as long as I promise to drink extra water.
Wahoo! Getting closer!

Spring
22 weeks pregnant is feeling more like 37 weeks pregnant by the way the braxton hicks contractions like to ground me to the couch after doing some house work. ;)
I'm in nesting phase which I just LOVE! I love that I actually have a huge desire to organize and make everything so clean.
Colton is doing swim + soccer this season and loving every minute of both! I was going to coach his soccer team but Reid thought that maybe he should do it since I'm more pregnant every day and I'm not very good about staying slow and relaxed like a lot of pregnant woman are (probably why I go into preterm labor all the time). The Chivas has their 1st game last Saturday morning at 8:30am and played against a team that has been together for four seasons already. I was completely shocked and greatly surprised at how well our Chivas team did at defense and offense! Must be that amazing coach they have! ;-) We definitely gave the Wizards a run for their money.
Anna does mommy and me swim lessons while Colton is at preschool and doesn't love it like Colton but really enjoys splashing in the shallows after swim lessons when mommy works on her tan. ;-)
Reid is a busy man! He pulled a late night at Architekton last night and got right back to it this morning. He amazes me.
We have Easter coming up soon and the kids are all very excited about it, as they should be. I just loved holidays growing up but finding Easter eggs and baskets were always way to frustrating to me. Hope I can make it exciting for my kids so they have great memories to grow up with. Reid's family will be coming over Saturday before Easter so that we can have a nice dinner together and do a fun little egg hunt. Should be a great time as always!
Can you believe it?! Anna will be two April 30th. I feel like she is too tall/bright for her age as I feel like I have been calling her 2 the entire year she was one. Oops.
Hope everyone is defrosting from the crazy winter and gets LOTS of rain this spring. We pray that the droughts go away!
With love,
Meagan Johnson

Family update
Thought I should take a minute to update the blog, in cause people actually read it. ;)
Colton's last soccer game of the winter (remember, I live in Phoenix, things are a bit backwards) is coming to a close tomorrow, Saturday the 16th 2013! He has had a tough time with the fact that at practice you have your own ball and you get to use the ball to kick around the whole time and at the games you have to fight for a chance to kick it. I'm sure with time he will figure that one out. They didn't have swimming during the winter season because they don't usually get a very big turn out (even though the pools are heated).
Last night we went to the YMCA and signed him up for another season of soccer and swim which should start in a couple weeks. We also signed up Anna for swim during Colton's preschool time. We have a gated pool in our back yard that we are very cautious and worried about having a little one drowned so they will continue swimming for as long as we can help it. Plus its a really good exercise and a sport that is kind to the joints and bones, which we love!
Yesterday was Valentines day and I had a ob/gyn appt at 8am that took me with traffic, 45min to get to. Before I left the house I set out some chocolate long stemmed roses and pop rock candies for Reid and the kids to wake up to. When Reid got home from work he brought me candy bars, red roses and a cute card. He treats me so well! My mother in law raised him to be an amazing husband and father!
We have been fighting the sickies over here, seems like every time we go to church we catch something new. :( Can't wait for the warmer weather so the sicknesses can go dormant for a while.
Baby #3 update:
Everything seems to be going well as far as they can tell! I will be 18weeks on monday. Due date is roughly (because babies hardly ever come on due dates) July 22nd. I'm hoping to be lucky again and have it over the weekend like I did with Anna! That sure did help on having people around to watch Colton while I was in the hospital.
