Reunions

These past few weekends have been filled with family time! We went down to Thatcher and and got to see Nick and his family! They've been in Hawaii the past year or so while Nick has been doing school. Here are some pictures:
Killian eating....

Jeter just having a good time! Poor little Jeter gets a little razzled by all the noise especially Killian's loud talking!

Killian taking a bath after eating. Love this little guy!

Here is sweet little Paige! She's so precious I just love her! I can't wait to have a little girl someday. Until then I'll just spend time with Paige!

And Max! He is already a year old! He's a feisty little fella too! Jeter is going to have to toughen up with these rambuncious cousins!

For example....haha!

Dane! Love this kid too! He's such a fun little boy and we can't wait to spend more time with them!

We all met up in Queen Creek for Family Pictures!! It's been six years since we've all been together. That's Nine of us including Mom and Dad, Four in-laws, and 12 grandkids! I am so gald everything worked out because Nate and his family are headed to Korea in August for another couple of years! Boo!!! I understand his situation but we will miss them So So much! We watched a movie outside on a projector, celebrated my Dad's birthday and just had a good time together! Family Pictures coming soon!

Emmers and Aiden

Kameron and Jeter watching the horses. I loved where we took the pictures so fun!

And we went to Cluff Pond....

On our way home from the ponds.

We have been collecting boxes because.......We are moving!!! Yup, we finally figured out the whole internship thing. It's been very fast and stressful but things have finally been figured out. Kameron got an internship with Freeport McMoran in Globe, AZ. And starts May 23rd. So we are moving this weekend. We found a three bedroom 1 and 3/4 bath house in a nice nieghborhood. It's only for the summer which is good and bad. It has some things that are missing that make life a lot easier, like a dishwasher and AC but after the trying to find a place to live stress I am excited we found something. So we will see what August brings.



We are excited for a new change and for Kameron to start working in his field. He'll have one more class to take in the fall than graduation this December! So after the summer will be interesting, if he'll get a job with the mines or if we will have to move to Phoenix, or commuting to ASU to take his last class. So we will see! It should be a fun summer!

The Lake!

This week we went to Lake Mead for Easter. It's been a long tadition of the Johnson's and we always have a good time when we go! But before we went Kameron was working on his truck with a little help from Jeter...I went to go take an easter bunny picture with Jeter that day and all they had was a cardboard bunny and you had to take the picture yourself, Lame!

My mom came up for a couple of days and took the boat out for a spin, and it was Jeter's first time on the boat, And wearing a life jacket his little face would get all squished up he couldn't play with toys cause his hands couldn't meet in the middle, but he seemed to like it.

We left for Lake Mead on Wednesday, let's just say it was a loooong day! We stopped in Kingman and met up with Natalie, got to meet Logan! Cute little guy. And we kinda took a long time in Kingman for some reason so we didn't get to the lake until 9 PM we slept in the bed of a truck and than headed to camp that morning. Funny story, we couldn't sleep in our truck cause it was full so we took gamble and slept in one of the other trucks next to us. We assumed it was Kameron's uncle's and it was, would've been funny for a stranger to drive away with us in their truck!

We pretty much just sat around and played in the sand and tried not to get too sunburned while the guys went out fishing. This is Ryan (Kameron's cousin Nikki's baby. He is 3 weeks older than Jeter)

Kameron caught a really big small mouth bass! It was a really good fishing trip this year!

Jeter and I out on the boat!

The lake has really gone done there is a bouie on top of this rock.....

Kameron slayin the bass!

Breakfast by the campfire

Daddy and Jeter sitting by the water. Jeter liked his hands in the water but not his feet. I don't blame him because the water is pretty cold! And the sand on his feet was a new experience.

Jeter had a cute hat that kept him from getting sunburned, yay for goofy looking hats!! Jeter makes it look pretty darn cute though!!

The boys did a little wakeboarding....

Tanner

Sam

Kam

Jeter would suck on a fishing thing (one of those gummy lizards) and fell alseep with it on his face so funny!

Conner and Jeter

Ryan

The three little babies-Randy (kam's cousin) just had a baby boy, Coleman, he's sooo cute! Lots of babies!!

Cade and Caryn drove back to Flagstaff with us and while the guys took care of the boat Caryn and I gave the boys baths.

We had a really fun time and can't wait for next year!

April snow brings May flowers

On Saturday this is what greeted us....SnOw!! Thankfully it'll warm up fast and melt it all quickly!

Jeter is starting to show his personality more everyday. He makes new faces like the once below. And can make lots of new noises. He says Ma and Da But doesn't know what he's saying so for now it's just fun to hear him practicing new noises. I love when he just says the same sound over and over, so funny!

Happy Jeter!

I have been going to a park nearby and it's fun just to get outside and get some sun on our faces!

Jeter at the Park!

Just trying out the sink...

And just smiling for the camera!

SO! This Sunday was little Logan's blessing in Kingman. We wake up bright and early get all ready and out the door, only four minutes behind schedule. Well 50 minutes outside of Flagstaff is the town of Winslow. As we enter this lovely town a big sign says "road closed 7 miles ahead, expect delays". Not good. The blessing is at 11:00am and we still have a good hour and a half to go! Well we come to a complete stop at 9:05 AM behind a semi. And we wait, and wait,...and wait. This was our view for SIX HOURS!!!!!

But that doesn't stop Kam, Jeter and I from having a fun day! We took pictures and ate a tasty lunch, used the internet on Kam's phone and had some good quality time together which doesn't happen much these days because of work and school. And Jeter was so good the whole time!

Daddy and Jeter getting some fresh air. It actually was a good experience because we were able to look at all the positives of the situation. Like the good weather, imagine if we got snowed in or something!

Our yummy lunch consisted of brownies, cheezits, and a yummy pasta salad I had made for the blessing.

Buuuut since we wern't prepared to eat in our car I got to eat with a serving spoon!

And Jeter munched on his bottle.

We finally got to squeeze onto the shoulder at about 3ish PM and drive don the on ramp. What really urged us to make that decision was the car beside us opening up the lane and we needed to use the bathroom :) It's funny how a situation like this could be soo miserable but the time really did go by fast and it was fun spending time together (don't know if being stuck in the car had anything to do with that haha) and just keeping a good outlook on the whole deal. When we got home we found out that the roads wouldn't be open until 10:30 PM !!!!!! yikes. There were several other accidents on our way back into town, just not a day to be on the road I guess!

**Shout-out to Nick in Hawaii for graduating this past weekend! Good Job and we can't wait to see you back in AZ!
