APRIL FOOLS DAY

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDPA JOHNSON ON THIS GREAT DAY OF APRIL 1st! Hope your day is great and filled with some unexpected "fools day" surprises!

MEMORIES

So to explain this funny trip down memory lane...I am doing a project that I asked my parents and Troy's parents to send us pictures of them and the kids from their cameras over the years...well these are some my parents complied for us. So funny to see how little the kids were when Troy and I first met. Triston was 4 and Joshua was 3. The prego picture was taken the morning we left to have Matthew...not so funny we both still have guts on us, although neither is quite as large!! So crazy to remember all these great times.

Uncle SCOTT

We had the pleasure and privelege of having Uncle Scott come visit us here in Lodi for a week. We all enjoyed him being here and more than we can explain we miss him terribly. All the 4 boys loved the time they got to play with him. He was great with Kamdyn and a huge help to me. This was only one afternoon of the time he was here. Troy and I loved spending our evenings with him. We talked, ate, played and overall had some great moments. All our love to "Scottie".

Our BABY is growing

Well needless to say our little girl is getting bigger. She sits up now all by herself. She rolls over, only in her crib when she should be sleeping...and she cut her first tooth yesterday. So this week was a week of full changes and growing!!

Matthew and Dad

Surfer Matthew

NEED WE SAY MORE??? IS THIS NOT JUST PERFECT!

Kamdyn

This is our Kamdyn LOVING the warm sun, salt air and sounds of the beach. She was so happy. Smiled, laughed, played and slept! Both Troy and I LOVED having her experience the beach, a place we both LOVE.

Serenity

"The Boys" as Matthew calls them, whether they are all 3 together or any other combination, all enjoyed themselves. From relaxing to playing in the sand to the freezing cold Pacific Ocean waters...everyday was spent enjoying the serenity of all that the ocean provides.

Carlsbad Easter

This was our Easter celebration while visiting Carlsbad. The community that my parents live in put this event on each year at the Four Season's Resort. Andrew, Joshua and I went while we lived down there 4 years ago...so this year we all enjoyed the morning, along with Uncle Scott and Uncle Trent. Kids had age appropriate egg hunts, face painting, cookie decorating and balloon making. Was so fun.

Let them sing...let them sing!!

March 12th a special day...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA JOHNSON

We love you!

Boys will be BOYS!

Some of our most fun times are when the boys get out the skate ramp. All 4 of them are able to now do different things. See the pride they each have!! (Notice the three different ways Matthew can now go down the ramp and that he is in CLEATS...oh the talent) We love being parents of boys. As much as we are enjoying all the pink Kamdyn wears and the little girl...we sure would love her to be as daring and fun as the boys, all the while wearing the girlie pink that we love!

Minor Disclaimer: Triston video to come shortly...

The Frog

Boys found a frog...literally loved it to death!

Funny Moments In Time

So last summer (Matthew was 2) we drove down to Newport Beach for a week reunion with the Johnson family. Troy always makes us a family driving cd for each trip...so this one had Delilah on it and it became what we all know as "Matthew's song"...or to him "my song". This was one day he and Andrew were listening to it on the computer. I caught them both belting it out, singing along. Quite funny.

GOT CORN?

So the funniest part of this is not that Matthew has figured out what a whoopie cushion is, but if you listen closely at the end, he asks "is there corn?" The story is that as all good dads do, Troy has often excitedly explained to Matthew that when he eats his corn that he'll get to see it in his poop. So Matthew many times when he knows you've taken care of "that" business will ask you if there was corn!! Well, his questioning carried over to the whoopie cushion. Aren't we so proud!

Kamdyn's Curls

SO SO SO fun to have a little girl with curls. Never know if her hair will stay this way, but for now we are enjoying the curls she has. We get comments everywhere we go. Her hair is quite the talk of the town that is for sure.

Matthew and Kamdyn Playing

Ok, well truth be told, Matthew can make Kamdyn laugh and smile in a way no one else can. All of us each have our own way of playing with her. She loves us all, but there is definately something special about Matthew. Maybe it is because he is the only one small enough to climb in her crib to wake her up or because he'll be soothed to sleep by her cries or because he just loves her so much and she knows it. They are so fun to be around all day!
