On Saturday we went to the air show in Spanish Fork.  Prior to going Warren would ask if he could fly on the plane.  I would tell him we might be able to sit in one, but probably not fly in one.  When we got there he would not get on the plane or the mall train.  However, now that I think about it that is pretty typical of him. When he is in unfamiliar places/situations he usually likes to check things out and then eventually he will explore.  He eventually decided that he wanted to go on the train and he loved it so did Logan.  Warren wanted to go again.  Luckily there was another train that he could go on to ring the bell and make the whistle go.  They tried out a plane and a mini helicopter.  His favorite was the fire truck that was there.  Logan loved exploring all plane, helicopter, and fire truck too.  At the very end of the show that they had going on there too we saw some sky divers.  It was fun to see them do their tricks.  I thought to myself someday I will go sky diving that would be awesome.  Pictures to be posted later.

September Happenings

Happy Birthday to Kyle!!  He turned the ripe young age of 32.  He has also been growing a beard and looks like a regular mountaineer/pioneer.

I finished a YW project by making some cute aprons for the nursery.  I can't wait to get a picture of the kids in them.  I also finished memorizing The Living Christ.  Now on to other projects and Halloween costumes.

Warren is quite the "silly goose" as he calls us or himself and surprises me every day.  I love my Buddy-O.  Today he noticed that dog and frog sound the same.  He loves trains, to tell people that he is 3, what he wants for his birthday, and that he wants a train, motorcycle and a helicopter on his cake.

Logan is cruising everywhere.  He loves to climb in and out of Warren's bed and he LOVES, LOVES his toothbrush and anyone else's he can get a handle on.  He loves to growl, greet you with a loving slap on the head and to chase his brother .

Ready, Set, Go!!!

Logan took his first steps on the 16th of this month.  He is now getting a little more confident and tonight he was starting to cruise halfway across the room.  It was so fun to watch.

Johnson Family Reunion Time

We went camping up American Fork Canyon for our reunion this past week.  We had a great time!  Logan loved playing in the dirt, bowls make great camp side baths.

We went on a hike one day.  On the way down the mountain Warren wanted us to sing the "Big Black Train" song.  When it came to the choo, choo part of the song he made sure that we were all pulling our whistles.

One the way down the mountain grandpa caught the one eyed Peter Cottontail.

Looking forward to next year.

A Little Bit of This and That from June

So this is a quick picture update.....

I made a diaper bag for my sister-in-law Julie combining two patterns and measuring a pocket from another and came up with this

Hip Mama Diaper Bag

Pretty Bird Quick Trip Diaper Bag (thanks cynthia b)

A few other projects too....

We took Warren to fishing to the Spanish Fork Reservoir  for Free Fishing Day.  Everyone around us caught fish.  Warren had fun throwing rocks in the water and playing in the rocky beach they have there.  Kyle took me fishing here on one of first dates so it was fun to remember that and combine a new first time with Warren with a walk down memory lane.

We visited the Zoo with cousin Paden and got the cutest little picture of these boys.  They had a great time together.

A family picture out in front, I guess this could be a 22 week pregnancy photo too.

 We had a Johnson Family Reunion.  We need to upload more photos of this from the other camera.  Warren loved the tent and playing with his cousins, eating chips from the bag off the table and ground, and most of all being with Grandpa.  Oh and of course he dragged froggy almost everywhere around camp, both got a good washin' after.
