RN...Here he comes!!!

Joe is now done with the schooling for his RN!! YEAH!! He passed his classes with flying colors. He was ready to be done with Weber State. I'm pretty proud of him and somewhat jealous of how little he had to study. Although people (Shayne and Pam) said I studied too much anyway. The one thing we are especially excited about now is, that when I go back to work after maternity leave, I can be part-time. Hooray for Joe!!

Getting Started

Okay, Here we go. I thought we would try this blog stuff. I 'm a little computer stupid so you'll have to be patient. I guess we should start with our most recent big event. Dirk and Broc became big brothers on October 23rd at 1:11 am. Dane Lance Johnson was born weighing 7lbs 9oz. He had a little time in the NICU. (I think he wanted to out-do his older brother Dirk.) Dane was only in the hospital for a week. He had problems with hypoglycemia initally. After being home for about one day went back to the NICU for hyperbilirubemia (extremely jaundiced)! He now is 7 weeks old and growing like crazy. He is an angel baby more or less. He already sleeps 5-6 hours in a row each night and usually four more after one feeding in the night. Broc and Dirk love him and I suppose Joe and I do also!!!

He was down to one bank of bilirubin lights so he didn't have to have his eye covers on. The patches on his face are from when he was on oxygen for a little while.

We went on a tour at Flaming Gorge. The kids loved feeding the fish. Dane is there too... Notice the six month pregnant belly :)

We also visited the Dinosaur Museum in Vernal. It was lots of fun.
