Memory Game

Here are the directions if you want to play.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

Favorite Pastime

Heck yeah... it's the best feeling in the world! I really do try to put her in her crib to sleep like a good mommy should but sometimes I just have to indulge.

G-ma's Birthday Hat

Grandma Johnson celebrated her 87th birthday this month. We were lucky enough to be at my parents for the weekend for the party. It was really quite fun. Mom didn't have a birthday hat so my mom gave her ... well you'll just have to look closely at the picture to see what my mom substituted for a party hat. It was hilarious! Mmmm and of course the German chocolate cake with homemade frosting was delicious... my hips would have to agree.

My Man... the Trucker

I tried to tell Chad this was hideous but he believed the men at work over me. He grew it out initially as a joke and promised he would just have it long enough to show his friends at work. Then he got such a good reaction (and you know how Chad loves reactions!) that he decided to keep it an extra week to show his family when they were up for the Fourth of July weekend. I barely convinced him that it just wouldn't be appropriate for Jaedyn's blessing. I'm such a party pooper!! When he finally did shave he left the mustache! It took me several weeks to convince him that it was not fun to kiss! He's finally my clean-shaven husband again... well, most of the time.

Look How Much I've Grown!

FLIRT!

I started back to work on June 30th. It broke my heart to leave my little 6 week baby for the whole day! Luckily, as an answer to prayers, Ashley Moore (one of the CNAs at work) came to me one day shortly before my maternity leave and told me she was quitting at LWHC and would I like her to watch Jaedyn? I could have kissed her! (thank you thank you Ashley!) She saves my life Mon-Wed when I head out the door to work. It is so much easier knowing my baby is with someone I trust and that she is being taken care of and given the love she needs. Anyway, Ashley took this picture one day when Jaedyn was being particularly smiley... what do you think, does Jaedyn like her babysitter? The second picture is of Ashley's adorable one-year old Cache. I swear, he is the happiest little boy I have ever seen! He loves Jaedyn and calls her "Jay".

Jaedyn's Blessing

Jaedyn was blessed July 6th in the Iona 6th Ward. Bishop Adams participated as did Chad's brothers: Travis, Phillip and Zach, My brothers: Wesley, Shawn, Jonathan, Both our fathers, My cousin Bradley and our friend Alex Hart. Thanks to all those who traveled so far to be there for this day. It meant so much to us to see so many make such a big effort to support us. We love you all!

Jaedyn's blessing dress was made by my cousin Diane Peterson(pictured with Jaedyn) and she looked absolutely adorable in it! Diane told me she spent 30 hours on this outfit! Thank you, Thank you Diane for your love and all your hard work! I still want to get professional pix of her in this outfit. So look for a later post!
