Updated our Blog

Hey family!
I updated our blog minus the month of Feb.
No, we weren't sledding last weekend:)
All of those post were from Oct-beginning of Jan.
There are a lot of pictures of the family so go check it out! LOVE YOU

Charlotte Rachel Johnson

I want to formally welcome little baby Charlotte to our family blogspot. I thought of emailing photos, but that became too cumbersome, so this idea has seemed to work out better for me, though I still don't know how to make it all look pretty.
Anyway, Charlotte was born January 3, 2009 at 9:41 p.m. weighing 8 lbs 2 oz and was 22 inches long. She came in a mighty hurry just two hours after arriving at the hospital. There was no doctor/midwife for the delivery. Mommy and Charlotte did all the work ourselves, and little Charlotte delivered right onto the bed with no hands to catch her. Thank heavens there were no complications. Mommy didn't get anything to help the pain, it was an all natural delivery baby. My only words to describe the pain are crazy scary.
Charlotte is a very good baby. She sleeps most the time. She feeds well and is growing. The very surprising thing about Charlotte is that she has a head full of very noticeable red hair, and we love it. Her (my) most cherished gifts thus far are the crocheted blanket her mommy made, the quilt her grandma Johnson made, and the cutest little hat and booties my cousin Rachel made and sent us.

We had so much fun on our hike to Praying Hand at the Superstition Mountains. It was fun to have Klint's parents and April and her boys join us on our hike. The weather was beautiful, and we enjoyed the desert. Liberty could tells us all the names of the different cactus. She knew the cholla, prickly pear, and the suguaro that I can't spell right now. We hope you enjoy our pictures.

First Water hike, by Superstition Mountains

We went out for a little fresh air a few weeks ago. I don't think we got more than a half mile in. It was Liberty's first hike out of the pack, and mine being 8 months pregnant. Daddy carried Liberty most of the way, but we still had a great time. I'll add a video as well, but mind you it's pretty long. It was just fun to hear her talk.

The best comment she made on this hike was her observation of horse poop. I told her not to step in it, and she said, "horsey needs a diaper."

Love you all.

Oh, by the way, we should all go to this trail head again sometime. It was very beautiful.

John Wiliams/Star Wars Tribute

We had our first snow tonight and could not resist throwing a few snowballs!!!

Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me....

Can you believe Brent has never heard this expression before.  

"nobody likes me everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms"

I guess he's pretty confident about himself and never silently sang this to himself in elementary school.   :)

Hey who else is getting excited for California?!?  We need to have a Skype session and come up with some more detailed plans.  I say Sunday... afternoon... I'll be calling you.

Anything you can do.....
