HALLOWEEN 2007

TRICK OR TREAT!!

Halloween 2007

The kids had a great time trick or treating! It was really warm which is probably the biggest reason that they were gone for hours! They got way too much candy! I told them that they have one week to eat their candy and then the rest was going in the garbage! That didn't go over too well. So here we are 2 weeks later still working on the candy. It is going to "magically" disappear very soon!

They were so cute in their costumes. Keaton was a mobster, Marlie was a rock star, Jace was Zorro and Connor was his latest obsession, "Soupman" a.k.a Superman.

HALLOWEEN FUN!!

carving pumpkins

These mummy cupcakes were so cute! I had to try making them.

PUMPKIN PATCH

PUMPKIN
PATCH
OCTOBER 27, 2007

We went to Southridge Farms in Santaquin. A tractor took us out to the pumpkin patch. We went on a hunt for the perfect pumpkin. Since we couldn't decide who found the best one we got seven pumpkins! It was a great day! The weather was perfect, warm and sunny. This farm has acres of fruit orchards. There is a big, red barn where they sell fresh apple juice

and apples in the fall. They also have homemade icecream and other treats for sale. We got an ice cream cone after we came back from the pumpkin patch. Grandma Johnson brought Rachel, Grant and Kimball to the farm to go pumpkin hunting with us. We all had alot fun!

My Blue-Eyed Boys

CONNOR- age 3

I took some pictures of Jace and Connor, just messing around

in the front yard. They both were happy to have mom

taking pictures of them. Jace said, "I'm not going to smile

in these pictures mom, because I want to look cool."

Connor liked wearing the hat, taking it off and on, off

and on. How did we get such cute boys? They are

so much fun. (When I'm not refereeing their fights!)

JACE- age 5

KEATON'S LATEST PICTURES-October 2007

KEATON age 12








Keaton reluctantly let me take his pictures. I think they turned out great. He is a gorgeous kid.(so his mother says). He is a wonderful son and a big help to us. He is taking guitar lessons now and loves it! I think all parents want their kids to find a passion. I hope he continues with it. It will be a great talent to develop. He loves baseball and basketball. I think baseball is his best sport but we'll see. He definitely will have the height for basketball. He will be an official teenager in April, I can't believe it.

Marlie's latest photo's 9/07

MARLIE age 9

These are Marlie's latest photo's. I am going to try to take each child's pictures at least twice a year. They are growing and changing so fast. I just want to capture what they are like at each age so that I will be able to look back and remember those ages in their lives. I wish time didn't have to pass so quickly! I wish I had more time to spend with them as children. I need to remember to play and laugh with them more often. I get so busy with the stressful, day to day grind that I forget to treasure my precious time with my children. I don't want to have any regrets when I look back on my years as a"Mommy". I love being their mom and feel very blessed.

Marlie of course has no objections to getting her picture taken! She is fun to take pictures of , she's a great model!

Picnic with Kim and Mishaun

Before school started Mishaun, Kim and I had a little get together. It had been a couple of years since Kim and I had seen Mishaun. She lives in Farmington which is over an hour from Kim's house. We all met at Kim's and then took all of our kid's to a park to have a picnic. We are always so amazed to see how much each other's kids have grown. We had fun watching them all play together. Our get together's always seem too short! I am so blessed to have two friends that are life-long friends. I love them both.

Johnson baby #4

It's a BOY!!
