Draper Temple

So after having to re-schedule twice due to sickness and a new job... the Johnson Clan made it to the Draper Temple open house. It was very beautiful. Lots of Stone work was within the temple as well as on the outside. The kids enjoyed it!! They said there favorite part was the big chandelier in the celestial room and the baptismal font. Broc told us after we went to the temple that he wants to get baptized and wants his dad to do it!! Another highlight of our temple trip, according to Dirk and Broc , was of course the ride on the bus to and from the temple. I had to laugh at this!!

Mr. Potato Kids


Who ever said that the accessories that came with Mr. Potato Head were actually for the potato?!? I think Dirk and Broc wear the glasses more often than Mr. Potato Head does!!

I'm Hungry

Dane makes me laugh. Each time I lay him on my lap to get ready to feed him... this is the face he makes at me!! I laugh almost every time. Joe captured it on camera for me. I love this picture!!

Playin' on the Floor


Broc and Dirk are beginning to understand how to interact with Dane. Broc especially loves talking to Dane. I went to my room to make my bed and had left Dane to kick on the floor for a few minutes. I came out of my room to find Broc lying on the floor next to Dane talking to him. What was especially cute was Dane was talking and smiling back at Broc. Broc was eating this up!!

Fun In The Tub



Broc and Dirk have recently discovered how fun bubble baths can be. Joe gave them beards. Watch out ZZ Top here come Broc and Dirk!!

HOORAY!!

Well we have had a great week. We decided to pay $8 and find out what the results of Joe's test were on Monday the 23rd. And of course he passed!! I never had any doubts. What was extremely exciting was that on the Wednesday before his test he had interviewed for a job at the hospital in the Float Pool. They had told him to call when he knew the results of his test. So he called and talked to RuthAnn (manager of the float pool) and let her know he had passed. That afternoon Human Resources from the hospital called and offered him a job!! Yeah!! Once again our Heavenly Father has blessed our family over and over again. I know He answers prayers because we have been praying for this change in our lives. The extra good news for me is because of Joe's hard work to get through school and get a job. I'm part time for permanance... just enough to keep my licence and to have an out doing what I enjoy!! I love my job but I love my kids a ton more!! They are growing up too fast.
As evidence of my kids growing too fast. We register Broc for kindergarten next week. He has really enjoyed going to pre-school so I think he will love going to kindergarten. I have difficulty thinking about sending my little boy off to a place where I can't watch out for him closely. I'm a little bit of a worry wart. But my one comfort and consolation is that my wonderful mom teaches at the school to which he is going.
Dane is growing like a weed. He is only 4 months old, However I'm starting to put his 3-6 month clothes away and getting out the 6-9 month clothes. This is a new expierence for me!! My other two boys are on the small end!! Dane is becoming more active. He now can roll not only from his belly to his back but also from his back to his belly. He is becoming a lot more interested in toys. It's fun to watch his little face light up when playing!!

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.
