Disneyland In September

Yes I know another Disneyland post...what can I say!!! But there probably won't be another one for awhile, our Annual passes expired in October and we didn't renew so who knows when we will be back. I am already craving a Monte Cristo so maybe we will go back soon...

We were able to plan a family trip to Disneyland with my side of the family. We had so much fun and love to go whenever and it's especially fun when we can go with a big group.

One of my families favorite thing to do in California Adventures is "Talking with Crush" the kids love it and every time we have gone Crush picks Teagan out of the audience to ask him a question. And every time Teag asks the same question, "Do you have a girlfriend?". It's too funny.

Teagan the mosquito!!!

Kylie in her Disneyland apparel (yes I did make that shirt, isn't it cute and Kylie too!)

Cousin Misty, Aunt Nan, and me

Sari and Clair on the dumbo ride, as you can see Clair is enjoying the ride.

The Girls and Teagan

Grammy Lisa is the only person who will take Kylie on the Tea Cups, this ride makes Steve and I sick:)

Steve and Sarah doing what they do best

Teag, Kache, and Kylie

I am trying to convince Steve to go on Splash Mountain with me...we did go on and I made Steve sit in the front he got soaking wet. What a trooper!!

Snack time

Sarah, Dad, and Mom on Splash Mountain, never sit in the front on this ride ask my dad and Sarah!!

Nan and Kylie in the back. I have found that the middle is the best spot, which I make sure I get even if that means sacrificing Kylie and putting her in the front.

Kache, Kudter, Teagan, and Kylie. Teagan had so much fun cause his two buddies came, normally it's Kylie who is surrounded by her girl cousins and Teagan doesn't have anyone to play with. But don't feel to bad for Kylie, Grammy Lisa spoiled her like crazy.

Yikes, close up, not you Misty just me

Sari was a little tired so she sat in the Stucki boy's stroller and had Nan push her around.

The World of Color was amazing. We were able to go to the show twice and loved both shows, the second show we had better seats right in the middle. It is definitely a show you have to see when you go to Disneyland!!!

Well that is it, the last post of a Johnson Family Disneyland trip!!

First Day Of School

Teagan's first day of Pre-school. He was so excited to finally be able to go to school and he is in the same class as his cousin Luke. He loves his teachers and his favorite thing at school is snack time!!!

Kylie's in 2nd grade. She started school in July at one school then we moved so she had to be the new girl again. It was a little rough at first but now that she has made some new friends she loves it.

This is Kylie at the first school on the first day!!!

Teagan's Birthday

My little buddy turned 4 in July. Teagan is the sweetest little boy, he makes us laugh all the time and is just the happiest little guy. He wants to be like his daddy and it is so much fun to see them together. On his birthday we were in Portland and Steve had to speak at a seminar so before he started his presentation he had Teagan come up to the front of the group and everyone at the seminar sang Happy Birthday to him. He was a little scared and shy when he was up front but once he ran back to me he thought he was the coolest kid ever.

Teagan showing me how old he is

Teagan wanted to eat at Texas Roadhouse for his birthday dinner but we couldn't find one anywhere in Portland. When we finally drove back to Utah we were able to take him out for some yummy steak.

1st Birthday Cake

We went to Blackfoot so Teagan could celebrate his birthday with his Idaho cousins. Grammy Lisa threw him a pirate birthday, which he loved and he received some awesome gifts from his cousins.

Grammy Lisa and Papa Bill set up a screen outside so all the kids could watch a movie outside on the trampoline later that night!!!

Summer Fun

So it has been awhile...but I decided I better post all the fun we had this summer. In July Steve's office sent him to Portland for the week so the kids and I thought we better tag along. We decided to drive instead of fly so we could stop in Nyssa, OR to see where Steve's mom grew up, and we were able to find the cemetery where Steve's grandparents are buried. The drive was long but we survived:) Actually the drive wasn't too bad, it was really a pretty drive once you got into Oregon. We stayed in the Portland area and while Steve was at his seminars the kids and I were able to play and shop. Steve had one day off so we took a day trip to the coast and played at Cannon Beach, we definitely want to go back to Cannon Beach for a longer vacation it was so beautiful and fun.

Nyssa, OR

Teagan struttin his stuff
While Steve worked we would go to the water fountains in downtown to cool off.

Cannon Beach in the morning, it cleared up about an hour later, the weather was perfect the entire trip.

On our drive to the coast we had to pull over and take some pictures of the scenery.

DISNEYLAND

I know another Disneyland post but what can we say we love us some Disneyland!!! Steve had a week off from work and we were just going to hang out at the house. We went to the PO Box to get our mail and Steve received some free nights at any Marriott so we packed up and headed to California for a quick trip. We had a blast but we were disappointed because the Toy Story ride was closed down the entire time we were there.

Kylie and Teagan at the Playhouse Disney Show

This is the first time we have ever ridden the Monorail so we were pretty excited to be able to sit up front with the driver!!!

So I'm a little behind...

I don't know if anyone has noticed but yes once again I am behind on posting. It has been a crazy busy few months with teaching the kids to cook and clean so I can lay out by the pool all day. But I finally have them trained so I think things will calm down now and I can catch up. We have had so much fun this summer and have been playing hard so I am going to post the first update and a second update in a couple days or weeks or months... :)

Before I start the update

I have to share a funny story that happened last night...

While I was driving Ky to tumble class Steve sent me a text and I started to reply back, so Kylie yelled "Stop texting while you drive" and then Teag added "Ya or you'll run red lights like dad" which has happened more often then it should!!!

New York City

For our wedding anniversary Steve had to be in New York for work, so being the great husband that he is, he flew me out so we could be together. It was a blast we were able to get great tickets to Wicked, we were on the 6th row right in the center of the theater. I forgot to bring my camera to the show so I don't have any pics, Steve did get some on his phone I just haven't gotten them yet. The show was amazing and I am wanting to plan another trip to go see it again. We also explored the city and central park, and of course ate way too many good things.

Here we are in Central Park...

I forgot how big Central Park was, but the last time I went I was in high school with my family, so of course I was too cool to notice things like that!!
Cute purse Steve!!

Workin hard for my money...j/k

Another pic of Central Park.

Kylie's Spring/Summer Activities

We finally signed Kylie up for soccer and softball this year. We waited so long because Kylie decides if she likes a sport by the weather. We put her in T-ball when she was 3 but she cried every game because is was too cold so we let her quit. But this year she really wanted to try again. Luckily we found an indoor soccer league which she really enjoyed and it was fun to watch her play. She was really timid at first and would back away from the ball when it started coming toward her, but by the end of the season she was getting in on all the action.

Ky loved playing softball, and for it being her first time playing she did very well. Teag and I froze at every game, and I am still trying to talk her into playing indoor sports:) Her team only lost one game and ended up taking 2nd place.
Kylie refused to play catcher when her coached asked her, but I told her to give it a try. She did and ended up loving that position, except on rainy games when the ball would hit the ground and splash mud up into her eyes.

And yes Kylie is still in tumbling class. She improves each month and it's so fun to watch all the fun little tricks she learns. The studio she goes to puts on a review at the end of the session, and Kylie always loves to perform her new learned tricks.
