Family Pictures 2009

I think they turned out wonderful! I had a hard time picking out favorites so I put alot on here (there is more that I could've done)

If you like them please contact Elsha Christensen!!!!!

Sari is a movin and a grovin!!!! and I am remembering what a crawling baby is capable of!!!!!

Sari did NOT like grammy with the spider on her head the whole time we were trick or treating she just scowled at her LOL!

What a cute Tomato-Hot Chili Pepper-Strawberry-Red Pepper we have!!! I now need to go find picts of all the girls wearing this costume :)

poor Nashie had a cold and slept most of the afternoon

More pumpkin painting! We had lots of pumpkin fun!!!!

Poor Nashie wasn't feeling good and Sari was crawling to the camera...so my cute picture isn't as cute as it I wanted it to be - LOL

Grammy Dixie loves to do hunts for anything....so this year we had a Halloween candy hunt (with all the candy from the last 4 or 5 holidays) LOL the kids had fun!

As part of Grammy Yum's party they put on a play about princesses, goodies, and the bad guys (all the boys) It was fun to see all of them work together!

Great Job everyone!!!

Happy Halloween at Grammy Yum's Party! We had a blast!!!!

Sari started crawling forward last week and her is her debut :) I'll get another video of her today so we can all see how good she is now!

Emory went to his first big boy birthday party last week (no mommy with him) LOL he had a blast if you want to see some pictures of his fun go to http://idahoharrisons.blogspot.com/

The last few weeks have been stressful and I guess we haven't been in the best of moods....This is Anya's prayer last night....

Dear Heavenly Father

Please make my family have better attitudes

If you can do that it would be great

In the name of Jesus Amen

Hummmmmm

This is post 904! WOW!!!

Johnson Family update :) Lets start with the kids....

Sari is almost crawling! Tonight I've been watching her scoot on her knees frontwards! I am going to have to have the big kids pick up the floor every morning before school (since they like to cut paper) there are pieces of paper everywhere and Sari thinks they are to EAT!! and that they are delicious!!!

RaeLee is constantly going! She has to be in the middle of everything and has started doing preschool work and loves it! She Loves Sari to the point of driving everyone nuts....she literally won't leave the poor baby alone.

Emory is doing great, he is very into Harry Potter and loves to read/watch/listen to it. He also read me his first book that isn't a phonics reader! He did it last wed. while we were waiting for Anya to do her reading class. I was so proud I had to hold back tears the whole time!!!

Anya is doing great! We are moving along nicely in school (except for the occasional mommy meltdown LOL) We did reading tests with her last week and we're able to test her aspects that we couldn't last year! She is behind Emory but she is catching up to him quickly!

Daddy is going crazy with school!!! There are tests and presentations and papers and it just doesn't stop! At least in undergrad you have times where its kinda predictable to be slower or more chaotic but not in grad! Its like the busiest time in undergrad ALL the time now.... He is doing wonderfully all of his tests and projects have scored 90% or more!!! I think at times he feels overwhelmed but at the same time I know he enjoys it (okay not "enjoys" but there is a happiness in him that comes out when he is talking about something new he learned or thought about in a new way). I am so proud of him!!!!!

Mommy.... I'm doing good :) I got a new calling as the 1st councilor in our primary presidency :) I'm excited to see what new things I get to do. I'm enjoying school with the kids more this year, and I think its because we have a "school" room so we are more organized and not in my kitchen! I also think its because I can see the progress they've made :) I feel like we are still adjusting to Nash's schedule and a few weeks ago if you asked me how his school was going I would've told you its hard but not as hard as I had imagined....well after the last two or three weeks I will say its hard and it is as hard as I thought it would be! I've been picking up on his stress and I have to brag about him. He went to the store yesterday for grocery's and came home with a gift certificate for me to go get and mani and a pedi!!! WOW he spent his birthday money on me. I can't tell you how much that means to me and how special/loved/valued its made me feel! Thanks honey!!!!

Anyways that's why there haven't been many pictures this past week...we've just been busy with school and school and school and ....you get the idea ;)

Heather:)

Here is Sari being more determined and going the wrong way LOL

Sari doesn't think crawling to a toy is worth the effort! She will only start moving for something off limits...like my camera, dad's glasses, pencils, and especially for paper LOL Sorry its sideways!!!

Yesterday we went over to the elementary school and played. Sari liked the dinosaur (she wouldn't look at me LOL) RaeLee played with the dino the whole time even tho there were slides LOL

Monday afternoon

Rae was watching cartoons or so we thought LOL guess she was tired! She hasn't been taking naps lately (to my great dismay) and she still needs them. So turning on cartoons in the afternoon is a way to get her to take a nap with out realizing it! Yup, I am smarter than a 3 year old!!!!

Emory then took my camera and took lots of pictures! Anya joined the camera fun too! LOL

Sari's first bath in the sink! Emory took the pictures and you can see how thrilled she was to have a audience :)

We decorated the kitchen :)



Daddy was so surprised (even tho Rae told him about it at lunch)
