A Few Updates

So Jefferson and Emily got married yesterday... I don't have any pics to show for this except for a couple that were taken on my phone... They are not that good and don't be mad... I will put up real ones later




Emily's niece holding her dress! SO CUTE! But alas no Emily... I don't know why I don't have a shot with her in it.. It was crowded!



Our good friends Laura and Steve Thalin chatting with Jeff and I!



Jefferson stuck with the bouquet... as most grooms are...



A number of times!



Most the brothers.. Where was Caleb?

I am going backwards but that is okay! All of these pics were taken with a phone... I need to remember my camera! For my actual birthday my incredibly perfect and loving husband was his usual amazing self!



My birthday started awhile ago with the digging up of our lawn out front and the ability to add a flower bed! I couldn't be more excited! It took Jeff forever to dig this huge section of lawn up, but he did it! I helped get rocks out, and mix some steer compost in! yucky! Then I planted some flowers in it! It makes me so happy every time I see it!



Then on the day of my birthday he came home a little early from work and we started out shopping. He took me to Bed Bath and Beyond where we used some old wedding gift cards and be bought me a crepe maker! This totally cool kind that rocks! Then we went to Target to use a wedding gift card and he had me pick out some baby clothes for our little baby boy! I cried! (HEY! I am pregnant I can!)



After that he took me to PF Changs and ate a yummy dinner and I got my favorite dessert in the whole world that has coconut ice cream in the middle of berries and spring roll bananas with this awesome caramel sauce... I want some more!



But the very best part of my birthday was when we got home and I read a love note Jeff had written for me! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful man that makes me feel like such a special lady! I don't know how I got to be so lucky, but I did, and I am forever grateful for that! I couldn't be happier in this life Jeff has helped build for us and I can't wait for many more birthdays to come with him! (But I can wait for the wrinkles that will come with it! AH!)

Babies and Birthday's

We found out what we are having!






This is us on the way to do our ultrasound





This is us after they told us we were having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!


I really didn't care what we had as long as it was human... Good news is it's human and he has everything he needs, hands, arms, legs, mouth, brain... everything looks good! So there you have it folks! Maybe we'll post some pics of baby boy Johnston, but he wouldn't stop trying to stare at the ultrasound so every shot of him is face forward and he looks like a skeleton... Oh and he has the BIGGEST feet I have ever seen a baby have! ................ maybe he isn't human ............


So this month is Leah's birthday month! Bet you didn't know that! My mom was sweet and threw me a family hoorah!this Sunday. This month has been crazy preparing for Jefferson and Emily's wedding and we all have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off! ah!


Caleb and Paul always have a BLAST at my parties....



Eliza showed better enthusiasm!



Tamara and Rob sitting and chatting with me.



Anna Lisa is due in three weeks! We hope she makes it past the wedding!



Jeff and I right before they sang happy birthday!



The cakes being prepared... ice cream cake and chocolate cake... can't beat that!



Kingi holding his little girl Meliame with Grammie in the back holding Orianna!



Apparently singing happy birthday to me embarrasses me.... I am getting shy now....



Anna Lisa missed the candle blowout... this is a reenactment.... Bet you couldn't tell the difference!


People have been requesting baby bump pics... since I just feel silly looking, it took a lot to get any... Luckily I was able to get all my sisters to join me in the fiasco that is pictures! Plus when will this ever happen again? All four of us expecting at the same time? Probably never!



Side shots Ashley took trying to show off the bump!


Side shot #2 I'm at 22 WEEKS!!!! woah... halfway there....



All the girls at mom's in front of the piano




Girls and our spouses!

Well that is the update... Hope you are all well! Hope the baby doesn't get to big and make me explode! AH!
