Another school year has begun!

I can't believe that my oldest child is old enough to be in 2nd grade!!! It freaks me out! I can't believe that I am that old!! Cambree started school on Thursday (of all days) August 21. She was so nervous for school this year, because she heard that all of the 2nd grade teachers yell alot. But I just told her that if she did what she was supposed to, then the teacher wouldn't be yelling at her. Cambree then proceeded to tell me that sometimes she doesn't listen, and do what she is told. Well, at least she is honest, right? What do you say to that?

Here she is with her really good friend Hannah, in front of the school. Don't they look so excited to be there?

Her teacher, Mrs. Alexander. We will see how happy they are with each other at the end of the school year! Just kidding. ha ha ha....

My Best Friends Wedding

Ok, so I am a total dork, and I don't know how to take this "lovely" picture off of here, but this picture was supposed to be at the end of the post. Well, we are definitly not as good as Becca at taking our own picture, but it was fun trying! Wow. Is all I can say about it.

So, the day has come when my best friend from elementary school has become Mrs. Rebecca Mullan!!! I am so happy for the new couple! And jealous that they got to go to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Why didn't we plan something like that for our honeymoon? We totally thought that Park City would be fun, but boy were we WRONG!!! It was so expensive how could we afford anything, we just got married! Enough about me, this post is all about my Becca Jo!
I just want her to know how much I appreciate her and her friendship throughout these many years! I am so glad that I had her through some of my toughest times! She has been by my side through a lot and I just want her to know that I am truely grateful for her! I am so glad that I didn't miss the ceremony. I was in a panic trying to make it on time, that I was sobbing in the car because I didn't want to miss anything! Thanks Becca, for everything, and congrats on the blessed day! I know that the Lord will surely bless you two!!

Isn't her cake so pretty! I loved it!

Becca looked so pretty in her dress, and I am not really sure that we do her any justice in this picture! Although, we are all so "hot"!

Bee's game.....

So like forever ago, we were able to go to a Bee's game. We had such a fun time. The girls were totally exctited to go and watch baseball. Cambree kept on saying "I totally need to watch them play, so I know how to play! I am so excited!" It was so much fun!! The girls had such a blast! It was perfect night for a baseball game!

They had a free "train" ride around the park. The girls, (and myself) had a great time on it.

Watching the game intently with dad.

Attacking dad with kisses!

It was so much fun to go and spend time together as a family. I would totally recommend this activity to any family. Even though I am not really sure who even won the game! But it was still a blast!

Changes

So just to let all of you know, we have had a few changes here at the Johnson house hold! Jerid has a new job, and we are all so excited about it! This new jobs means that he will be home now for every holiday, (no more going solo for me and the girls on the 4th of July! Yay!) He will also be home at reasonable hours (because most of his job he gets to do at home!) And he will be able to see the girls in any extra curricular activity they may have! (No more missed soccer games for dad!) He is doing Real estate investing and Marketing. (No, this does not mean that he will be selling real estate). We are planning on opening an office out here in Tooele. Sorry folks, for those who would like us to move closer, I don't see that happening any time soon. We really like it out here in the boonies, and we have made some really good friends out here. So for now we are going to be out here in B.F.E! I am so happy for Jerid, he is so happy at his new job. He is not stressed anymore about work, and it is something that he really enjoys doing!

Ride that pony!

This is the funniest thing to watch! Averee "riding" on pretty much any toy that she thinks fit! She has been known to ride on dogs, and then even "my little pony" ponies! It is quite hilarious! This time we decided that we needed to capture it on camera!


Here is where the fun ends. When the horse bucks her off!

Gotta get back on and show that horse who's boss! Oh I love it!!

Lessons....

So, I wonder if we have all learned a lesson from this experience....I doubt it. But here is what happend. Remember the snake that Jerid found while we were running the other night? Well, that snake my friend, is the culprit! Averee loved to be by the snake, she was always asking for the snake. Jerid had it out holding it and I guess Averee was moving to fast for the snake, (they apparently do not like any kind of fast movement!) and that is when she was first bitten on the head, (in the hair, so no damage was done). She didn't cry when the first "attack" happend, but she looked at Jerid like "what the crap just happend?" Then the snake decided that the first bite did no good and went in for a second. And this was the results! She cried quite a bit a first, but then if we asked her if she wanted to see the snake again she said yes! Did she learn her lesson? I surely doubt it, and will we have another snake? I am sure that the answer to that question is YES!



My poor baby! Jerid and I laughed at the whole experience, isn't that sad? What great parents we are!
