Special Day

Our 4 year anniversary!! It is this thursday and seeing that I will be gone this post is a tad early, but I had to pay tribute to my handsome GROOM on our 4 year anniversary. I know everyone says it..BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 4 years!!
In a way I kinda still feel like newly weds. In fact I am proud to say even up until year 4 people have told us that we still act like newly weds, I take it as a compliment.
The last 4 years of my life have been full of many new experiences, some challenging, some that brought great sadness, and lots of moments full of love and romance.
I am so happy with the decision I made to marry Nolan. He truely is an incredible husband. I said this when I was dating Nolan and it's still true today..."I know I couldn't find someone else who treats me the way he does, or loves me as much as he does"

4 years ago, June 17, 2006
4 THings I love about Nolan:
1. His positive outlook on every aspect of life and living it to the fullest.
2. The way he finds joy in teaching me his hobbies
3. Of course his looks, he is gorgeous!
4. His love and sincerity towards me.

4 Things I love about being married
1. Cuddling in bed each night
2. Quality time with special date nights (sleepovers in the family room, flying kites, Nolan teaching me to throw a football better, walks, games, and wrestling.
3. Going on vacations together, it's so fun to it together!
4. Always having someone there that truely cares about you.

4 Things I have learned being married
1. Doesn't Snore, should have been on my future husband checklist
2. You truely can miss someone so much it hurts physically.
3. Let the little things go
4. LOVING every part of someone is what makes the greatest love.
I LOVE YOU NOLAN, it has been the most amazing 4 years and I look forward to many more. THank you for being the most amazing husband and loving me through the good and bad. I love you more than anything and I can't wait to embark on a new journey together..parenthood! Happy Anniversary!

This DISGUSTS ME!!!

IT FIGURES

At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service...

The Crotch Salute Returns

I'm sorry folks, but is this the turkey that was elected President of our country?

You know, the United States of America?

I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the servicemen who died, or is he above that?

Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with Bull

But actions speak louder. This stinks.

What Happens in Vegas...

We went down to Vegas for a little getaway. It was so fun! Nolans BEST FRIEND growing up (Caden) and his wife (Megan) came down with us. She is pregnant too and we are only a couple of days apart! Both pregnant with girls! We had such a blast, we relaxed in the sun, went to the strip, and even went to the Cirque Du Soleil show! Tiffany and Phil--Wills mom and dad, were so kind to let us stay in their amazing house!

Their sweet pool with a waterfall and a little cove!

Kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower so Romantic!

THis picture is NOT posed, I caught this while they were in conversation, these boys have so much fun together!


The girls in front of the amazing bead light thingys we loved these and tried to figure out how we could make them ourselves!

We even visited with Edward scissor hands!

BELLY SHOTS!

I have been getting lots of requests for belly pictures. SO here they are!! I always feel ugly when I think about taking belly pictures, then I thought..who cares what I look like it all about documenting the growth right?? It has been so fun to see my belly grow! I finally look pregnant and I have tons of people touching my belly and talking to the baby. I totally don't mind (if i know you) some women are embarassed or think its wierd, but I think its fun and I wear my big belly proud!!! I waited so long to get this belly, I am going to enjoy it!
I am feeling her move a lot now, I love it! She is pretty calm and daddy is always trying to poke her so he can feel her, It hasn't happened yet. I think we are still a couple of weeks away from that.
I am 21 weeks and can't believe I am HALF WAY done!! I have really enjoyed being pregnant, and each new milestone of her life. I love reading how big she is and the new things that happen to her every week. So far everything is going great and she is healthy and strong!
Now for the pictures:
12 weeks

16 weeks
19 weeks
21 weeks

New little man in town!

OLIVER PHILLIP JOHNSON is here!! He was born April 7, 2010 and weighed 8lbs 4 oz. He is so cute!! I have been so lucky to help take care of him. He is letting me get tons of practice in before the LITTLE MISSY comes! Will was unsure about him at first, but now he is a great big brother, always giving hugs and kisses and laying by him. We love you little OLI!

The sweet mom and new big brother! (yea she looks awesome only a few hours after labor...Uggh so not fair!)

Very unsure....

Shanna's Wedding

My little sister got married this weekend!! She was beautiful! The day turned out so perfect and she is SOO happy! We are so glad to have Chris join our family! Chris and Shanna are such a sweet couple and I am so happy they were sealed for time and all eternity. I love my little sister and I have missed her the past couple days while she is honeymooning on a cruise ship! I cried pretty hard the night of her wedding. We have always been such good buds and I look forward to getting closer as she enters the married life! CONGRATS you two! (I only have pics from the temple right now)
