The Dinosaur Museum
We went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. I had a lot of fun building the dinosaur. We made him have spikes off his tummy and all sorts of other things. We went there with a lot of cousins and again had a fun time.
Daddy put me on top of it too. Look how tall I am. I am as big as Daddy. Daddy wanted to put Lulu on, but she was too scared.
The erosion table is a lot of fun. Nikki and I had a lot of fun playing with the Dinosaurs. Look at how big I am now. The last time I played here, I could hardly reach the sand. I am growing!
Conor and Caleb had fun in the erosion table too. We all got to wear those cool blue aprons to protect our clothes from all the water.

A new addition to our family

We have a new family member. Our precious Dodo Kitty came to us yesterday. :) Mommy saved him from going to the pound. Isn't he so cute. Timmy and I are crazy with happiness, and Daddy even likes him. Of course Mommy loves him too.

Dodo playing with a little soft ball that Timmy and I were rolling to him.

This is Dodo's Castle. It is his safe place and Mommy says I am not to touch him when he is in there. I have a hard time obeying, because I want to hold and hug him all the time.
Can you see how happy I am to have a little Kitty of my own?

Here is Timmy telling Mommy that he loves Dodo. Timmy actually named Dodo. It is pronounced like Dough Dough. I like to call him Titty (Kitty) but Mommy calls him Mr. Dodo Kitty. He has a lot of names and is so much fun.
Thanks Mommy and Daddy. We love our Kitty.

Just a little update from Mommy : So I am a member of Freecycle, and I saw on the site that a family had a bunch of kittens and they had to be gone by a certain day or they would be sent to the pound. I just couldn't stand to have that happen (thanks to my Mother, I am a lover of animals), so I wrote them an email (after asking ken) to tell them we would love one of the male kittens. Well I didn't hear back, so I thought that they were all gone. I think Ken was happy that they were gone. But then we got a call asking us if we still wanted a male kitten. Their computer crashed and they couldn't respond to the email. So while I was at enrichment teaching a cooking class, Ken took the kids and went to get the Kitty and all the supplies to take care of him. We will see how the kids do, but from all evidence so far.....They might love him to death!

Happy Fourth of July. Here we are as a family. I wasn't too happy to have my picture taken. Mommy says I didn't get enough sleep after all the activities yesterday. But I do love my family.
This is Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. We love them so much. I love playing over at their house and playing with the kitchen toys.
Here is our cousin Cody. He was playing and he sure got dirty.

Ahhh. All clean.
Here is a group photo of all the boys in the family that have Grandpa's name in their name. Douglas is a great name.

Our Fourth of July celebration on the 3rd. It was a lot of fun. Eric and Shelly were still here, and so were a lot of the cousins. Again Timmy and I had fun with the sparklers. I did burn my finger a little bit trying to touch the sparkles, but I learned my lesson.




Here is cousin Joey. He was covering his ears because our Johnson firework display was so loud and crazy. The uncles sure know how to put on a good display!

I loved sitting with Daddy. I helped him pick out which fireworks we would shoot off. I had such a blast. I love the fourth of July where we celebrate our Country. I was so happy as you can tell from my smile. :)



Here are Grandma and Grandpa Johnson sitting on their swing. We love them sooooo much.


Hallie Jo and I joined Grandma and Grandpa a little later when it started to get little chillier. We had such a fun time. We love this country and we love to celebrate it's independence.

We went to the Provo Fourth of July Parade. We got some candy and I was so nice. I shared some of my sucker with Timmy.
Do you like my hair? Mommy put sunblock all over my head so I wouldn't get a sunburn. I got really hot and my face was really red, but I didn't mind as long as I got my candy.

We went to cousin Spencer's Baptism and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed seeing all of the family and had so much fun afterward.
We celebrated Spencer's 8th birthday. He had a pokemon water, Earth, Fire, Air cake and the cupcakes were so yummy. Lulu ate all her frosting off first.


We played in the sandbox and all of us built a huge volcano. We got really dirty, but that was okay because after that we went to the Sandpit.
Uncle Dean and Aunt Brenda have a great yard. I loved the swing. David and I played together and I had so much fun with the other cousins too








Here is the group of us on the hill. What a fun time. Mommy didn't do any jumps, but she did take all the pictures. She told me that she wasn't brave enough to go down it. I am brave though.



Here is a great jump from Chunie. She was awesome to watch. When Lulu and I are as big as her, we can do it too.
Grandpa was a good sport and even he went on the sled down the sandpit.
I loved playing in the sand and filling my shoes with it. It was so warm and soft. I even brought a lot home in my pockets for a nice gaprise (surprise) for Mama.

Sledding down the hill with Daddy was a little scary but we both liked it. I was in the front and one time when we went down, we wiped out and I had a face full of sand!
Not only did we get the play in the sand, but the water too. After we left the sandpit, we swam in the hotel pool. Lulu really did have a great time, even though she isn't smiling in this picture.


We know that the fourth of July isn't here yet, but we celebrated with the family a little early. Lulu and I loved the sparklers.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's day. We just want to tell all the men in our lives, Happy Father's Day! We went to Aunt Sasha and Uncle Scott's house to celebrate. We had a lot of fun. Timmy and I loved jumping on the trampoline. It was fun to meet our new cousin Brooke. She is such a cute baby.

After all the food, everyone got together to make plans.
I got to try out a scooter, but it was too big for me. I spilled on my dress, so Mommy took it off.
Here I am on the trampoline. It was a lot of fun. Timmers had fun too.

Timmers and I on the tramp with our cousin Nelson. Kimball is in the picture too, and so is Daddy. We love you Daddy.
Here is a picture of little Brooke. She was so fun to be around and to see. What a little cutie.


Here is the fun scooter and the tramp!

Today we went to see Sarah and Rebecca in their ballet dance for Cinderella. It was so fun and they did an amazing job. All their hard work was worth it. Lulu loved the pretty outfits and loved to see Cinderella. I liked the music and danced too, but my favorite thing was my squeeky chair. Everytime I moved I would make my chair squeek. I loved bouncing up and down on it.


This is a picture of Sarah's group. They were little bunny rabbits.

This is a picture of Rebecca's group. They were mice.


Here we all are in a crazy group. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Kylie for inviting us.

Today we had a lot of fun in the sandbox. Mommy didn't know it, but after she was done watering the plants, Logan and Lulu and I put the hose in the sandbox. It was a lot of fun. Mommy wasn't too happy because she says that sandy mud is hard to clean, but we all had a blast. Mama couldn't have been too mad at us, because she took pictures and was laughing with us.
The big jump.
My spash.
Even more jumping.

Look at my dirty bum and shirt. What a clean up job.

My face, my arms, and my legs were very muddy and sandy. We went straight into the tub.

Lulu was sad to begin with because she was a little cold, but then she started having fun.
Here are Lulu's dirty clothes. She was really wet.
Lulu in the water. It was fun to make mud pies with her.
Do you see her dirty bum too?
