Lots of Pics

Here are some updates!

2010-07-19T14:40:00.001-07:00

OK so I am sorry I have been really bad at updating this but I am not promising to get any better. :) Maybe when Logan is sleeping I will. Here are a few recent pictures of him and Ty. Logan is 6 months old and weights 16 lbs and is 29 in tall. He is tall and lean! He has a great personality, he is very observant and just likes to watch things going on around. He rolls every where and is starting to really scoot on his tummy! I just dread when he is crawling! Ty is teaching him the basics, like how to swing a sword and hold a light saber (Logan is learning to hold his own against his big brother :) Sorry the pictures aren't great, they are from our video camera because our regular camera has issues (AKA I have issues with it).

Brother play time! They love each other so much, both get so excited to see the other in the mornings!
Tyler is becoming a little man. I can't believe how old he is! This was what he wanted to wear to church so that he looked like Daddy. He is so sweet and such a big helper with Logan. He continues to amaze us with how smart he is and how good of a memory he has, nothing gets past this kid!

My Crazy Boys!

2010-07-19T14:31:00.000-07:00

Logan realizing his father is crazy!!

Jake: "You can't see me!!"
Look a tree in my bedroom, I wonder where the boys went! (They are crazy but I love the more then life)
Again with the book!
He wasn't happy playing with his toy the right way so he moved himself!

Logan LOVES books and water bottles, I know he sounds more like a puppy but every chance he gets he grabs my book or one of Tyler's, he is not nearly as happy if I give him one of his of course.

Feet make a great book holder apparently, I should try that out.
Then there is his foot that ALWAYS seems to find its way into his mouth, and he has a big foot!

5 Months old

He loves his feet!

Tyler can always make Logan laugh

Logan's Blessing

2010-04-14T11:10:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture from Logan's blessing. It was a crazy quick trip to Seattle, but it was nice to see our family there.

Fun Day with Dad!!

2010-04-14T10:58:00.000-07:00

Ty was just mad he had to stop to take pictures! He really had a great time with his dad.

Crazy Kids

2010-03-02T15:43:00.001-08:00

My Future Rock Star!! I guess he takes after his Uncle Porter, hopefully he will wear more clothes when he is famous!
Hide and Seek favorite spot.
They love each other so much it will be so fun when Logan gets bigger.
If only he slept like this all the time, or rather just slept at night!
So cute, now he smiles and talks so much, he is just growing so fast.

I will write more another time, when I have a minute, so in about three years!

I Love This MAN!!!

2010-03-02T15:38:00.000-08:00

Just thought I would say how much I love my husband, he is amazing. So I hate to break it to everyone that thinks their husband is the best, sorry I win!

One month with two kids!

2010-02-09T12:09:00.000-08:00

So yes it has been a crazy month. Logan is being a newborn and only sleeping when he thinks he should. Actually he hasn't been that bad, Tyler was much worse at sleeping in the beginning. But the best part of all has been that in the month Ty has been sick twice, Jake twice, Logan once and me once. Great fun, here are a few pictures of the poor little guy, he is so stuffed up, has the worst cough and has lost his voice so he can't make any noise when he cries. I know at first it sounds OKthe no crying but he tries so hard and it comes out as this horse little whisper, it is so sad!

He is so sick :(
But we still kinda got a smile out of him
Now he is just getting mad at the camera
the only way he would sleep is with Daddy.

Logan Duke Johnson

2010-01-16T12:24:00.000-08:00

Ok, So he is finally here, sorry it took so long to post but really, I am just glad that I can focus and make it through the days right now. He was born on Jan. 5, 2010 at 2:07 in the afternoon. Not to exciting of a birth I had a scheduled c-section because of my previous delivery with Tyler and boy when they told me he was 9lbs. 3 ounces and 22 1/2" long I was happy I had gone with the c-section, and I was really REALLY happy I did when they told me his head was 14 inches!!!!! That was so not going to happen. We were in the hospital for three days and then came home to a very excited four year old big brother. Tyler really is loving having Logan here although he does have his moments when he wants to send him back but we are working through it. Having Grandma and Grandpa Montague and Grandma Johnson here has been a huge help, especially with Ty. Things are starting to settle, except the whole not sleeping thing which makes me think I really must be crazy for doing this all over again, but that only lasts till I see both my boys, that makes anything worth it. Wow a year ago I was seriously doubting having any more kids, thank heavens for little miracles (and birth control that didn't work :) we have two beautiful boys. This pregnancy was scary but not as bad as we thought it would be and we may still have more kids, but not too soon.

Pictures of Logan

2009-09-15T15:55:00.000-07:00

So here are a few pictures of Logan no middle name yet Johnson. I know they are hard to see ultra sound pictures but now he is big enough that you can see he is a baby. Thankfully things are going very good with the pregnancy and now I only have to go to the doctor ever four weeks versus the every two that I had been doing. It made that first few months seem like forever. And at 32 weeks I go twice a week which will be a pain but I am so happy that they are so on top of things. Not too much longer and he will be here! His Big Brother is so exited he can hardly stand it! They will be great friends! And even though you can't see it in these pictures, Logan totally has Jake's nose!

Preschool!!!!

2009-08-14T10:14:00.000-07:00

These are a few pictures from preschool. He loved this little puppy Star, it was hard to get him to leave! He goes to school on a farm so he gets to chase chickens and feed the baby cows and play with all sorts of other animals while he learns. He loves it and gets so excited to do his "homework" in the evening! Jake and I are still in denial that our little man is growing up, but soon we will have a new little baby!

This is the first day and he was so excited I couldn't get him to stand still! So these are the best pictures I could do.

He really needs a hair cut!

Really old Pictures

2009-08-14T09:57:00.000-07:00

I finally uploaded pictures from my camera so here are some old pictures of horse back riding with my Dad. And it was the baby's first ride although I had no idea!!!

We are at a national park about 15 min. from our house.

Reasons I love Being a MOM!

2009-08-09T19:34:00.000-07:00

OK I promise I will put up more pictures soon, maybe this week since preschool is starting!

But a few things that I love about having my little man I wanted to add first.

1. Being woken up at 5:30 on Sunday morning with "SHHHH mom we are spies, get your gun and follow me"

2. Hearing him yell "How do you like me now?" While he plays Lego Star Wars on the XBox

3. When I ask him to do something and he says no so I ask him why, his response is "power to the people" and he runs away.

4. He is so excited to be a big brother he always looks for diapers at the store and tells me I need to rest for the baby.

5. Every night before bed as I am leaving he says " one more kiss Mommy, please?" How could I ever say no?

He is so much fun and on most mornings he greats me with "so what do you want to do first today Mommy?" I am just sad that this stage will be over all too soon. But I know we have lots more fun to come!

Guess What?

2009-07-17T08:52:00.000-07:00

We are having a new baby Jan. 6 2010. we found out yesterday that it is a boy and we are very excited. Everything is going really good but they are still watching very closely, I have had three ultra sounds already, but it is reassuring to see him and see him moving around. He was a huge surprise but we really couldn't be more excited. It's amazing how life changes in a year.

Love You all

Alicia, Jake, Ty and baby

TY is not so sure about the baby although today he settled on the names Yoda or Anikan. I think we will have to work on those :)

Cheese

2009-04-21T13:55:00.001-07:00

So I guess I don't feed my child enough because today he felt the need to eat almost half of a block of cheese from Costco. I was gathering laundry and he came and told me not to worry about breakfast because he had his cheese! I wish I knew what was going on in his mind!

Easter

2009-04-21T13:50:00.000-07:00

All I can say is that our son is spoiled, but that is OK by me! We love him more then anything, and apperentally I need to learn how to NOT buy him so many Toys. Atleast that is what Jake tells me :)

Amanda Came to Visit!!

2009-04-21T13:46:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun and can't wait for her to come visit again. Hopefully we will get up to Seattle soon to see everyone!

Renaissance Festival

2009-04-21T13:38:00.000-07:00

Tyler really wanted to ride an Elephant at the Renaissance Festival so we did. It was really fun, he kept laughing because it's ear was hitting his feet. There are so many things I love about Arizona and going to the Renaissance Festival every year is near the top of that list! Especially now we live like 30 minutes from it!

Pictures Finally!

2009-04-21T13:11:00.000-07:00

Here are some random pictures from Jan and Feb. Sorry there arn't more, I was so sick we really didn't even leave the house!

OK I think WE are back!!

2009-03-28T12:21:00.000-07:00

So sorry but it has been a crazy few months. It started with me getting MONO!!! Seriously who gets MONO? Apparently me! It was so not fun , being bed bound for a month. Sounds great until you realize that your three year old doesn't like that and you have to do dishes, laundry, and clean. And my doctor told me no contact sports for two months, I have a 3 year old boy, life is a contact sport for him! It was really not fun, I mean why couldn't I have gotten it is high school like everyone else!! Thank goodness for my Mom! Ok I am done venting!

So when I was sick Jake and I talked about selling our car and using our tax money and savings to get a newer car. We decided against it because our car wasn't really worth what we wanted to have for a new car, so we would just drive it till it died, or that is what I thought. Two weeks later Jake got in an accident (went across three lanes, hit the back of another car which spun Jake around and he hit the wall) Thankfully no one was hurt, I really think Heavenly Father just reached down and held Jake and made sure he was safe. But unfortunately the car didn't make it :( But the amazing thing was that insurance gave us over $1000 more then the care was worth if we had sold it. We were also able to find a much better car then we expected to and Jake talked them down to an amazing deal. It has been a crazy few months! Now the only thing I have to do is learn to drive the car, it is a stick! We will see how that goes! :)
Hope every one is great, I have tons of pictures to post and I promise I will do that soon!

GO CARDS

On the first day of school, a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Steelers fan.

She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Steelers fans.

Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise, 'Janie, why didn't you raise your hand.'

'Because, I'm not a Steelers fan.' she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well if you are not a Steelers fan, then who are you a fan of?'

I'm a Cardinals fan, and proud of it,' Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. 'Janie, please tell me why you are a Cardinals fan?'

'Because my mom is a Cardinals fan, and my dad is a Cardinals fan, so I'm a Cardinals fan too!'

'Well,' said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, 'that is no reason for you to be a Cardinals fan. You don't have to be like your parents all of the time. what if your mom where an idiot and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?'

Janie smiled, 'I'd be a Steelers fan.'

Some Christmas Pictures

2008-12-26T14:43:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures form Christmas that I took with me new video camera! (Thank you Jake) I will upload some video when I figure out how! Just ignore me in the pictures!

Thank you to all of our family and friends

2008-12-26T13:28:00.000-08:00

I know we haven't posted in a very long time and now that the year is coming to an end I thought I should write about our last few months and how thankful I am for our amazing family and our church, without either I wouldn't have made it. I have never been a talker about my emotions, and I think it drives Jake nuts, but I wanted everyone who thought or prayed for us to know how much it helped us.

Most people are aware that our son was still born in September. It has been so hard to talk about or even believe sometimes, it can still feel like a dream. And I haven't even really been able to find words to explain the feelings until I heard a song by Hilary Weeks called Just let Me Cry. I found out it is written about a child named Devan that passed away. We named our son Devin so it hit an even stronger note for me. But the song is great for healing and remembering that this isn't going to stop hurting soon, and we will never forget, but we aren't alone and we will make it through. Just sometimes you have to cry.

Just Let Me Cry

I believe everything happens for a reason

We're not just tossed by the wind or left in the hands of fate

But sometimes life sends a storm that's unexpected

And we're forced to face our deepest pain

When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under

I dig my heels in deep and I fight to keep my ground

Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger

And there's nothing I can do but let it out

Just let me cry

I know it hard to see

But the pain I feel

Isn't going away today

Just let me cry

Till every tear has fallen

Don't ask when and don't ask why

Just let me cry

When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me

I understood that there would be a chance that it would break

But I know He knows exactly how I'm feeling

And I know in time He'll take the pain away

But For now

Chorus

I have felt joy the kind that makes my heart want to sing

And so my tears are not a surrender

I'll feel that way again

But for now

For this moment

Chorus

This song is a great song and I am so happy to have heard it. I also am so happy for my amazing Husband, there is no one on this earth I would rather be with and our miracle of a son. I can hardly remember life before them! And our second son, Devin, even though we never got to bring him home, he will always be with us.

I love you All,

Alicia
