Happy Thanksgiving & Birthday! :)

Braxton is so ready for his tatoes and gravy~  Yum Yum ~ He wasn't too thrilled about the cute little 'My first Thanksgiving' hat that grandma gave him.

Our Thanksgiving feast!  Randee, Moser, Miles, Braxton, Josh, Dad & Mom

Happy 25th Leslie!  Look at that pretty cake Josh made! :)

 We musn't forget the beautiful flowers that my wonderful Girl SAM sent me !!

......and she wears whitey tighty's.....

So today in my class we were writing who am I poems.....one of them was hilarious so I thought I would share.

I am the biggest in the class.
I have long hair.
I have smelly feet.
I wear a necklas.
and she wears whitey tighty's!
Who am I?


Well....if you couldn't guess he was describing me, so after the class guessed Mrs. Johnson the kids were asking if I really wore whitey tighty's and I said well that's what he says...and another boy piped up and said they are called garments!  Ah the beauty of teaching 2nd grade!

I love my job! :)

My first hair cut

So momma decided that it was time to get rid of the shaggy do----She put me in the sink and cut off all of my hair!  But I guess I look like a handsome stud still so I wont complain!

Happy Halloween

We went to out to Tuachan for a Halloween festival,--it was geared towards elementary ages kids but we had fun looking at the crafts~

Everyone loved his cute little ducky outfit!

We had a fun party at the house......I had to make homeade rootbeer, it's tradition and Braxton loved the dry ice!

We had a very Happy Halloween~ hope you did too!

For dogs or for Kids?

Well, if you ask Braxton he will say for kids!

Just in case you can't tell he's playing in the dog water!

Braxton & I up at SnowBird!

I had the opportunity to go up to SnowBird for SpyHop training for work, Lori was kind enough to watch B while I was busy making movies and such! We had a really great time! On the way down I stopped and took some pics of B in the leaves....this one is my FAV!! :)
The sky......oh how pretty are the mountains :)

I know you can't really tell, but that is snow falling from the sky! Yes Yes! It didn't stick but it sure came down hard!

My naked boy! He loves the remote! :)

Daddy, I'm ready to go work out!!

Ranting

So you try and be all supportive of the home town ways and go to the homecoming football game and what do you get?!?! A dumb lady who ruins your night! ARG I just wanted to scream!! So our school district employee's and a guest get into the games for free, right? WRONG....you have to have this dumb little sticker on the back of your badge, that they no longer give out....so how in the heck are you supposed to get one?!!? Beats me!!! So after we got all decked out in our Hurricane colors Red & Black --parked a mile away--waited in line for 15 minutes and the stupid lady wont let Josh in....but wait I watched her let a fellow teacher and her spouse in just 3 people in front of us! Yes so I revolted and didn't pay the $5 bucks for Josh! I showed them! Watch out HHS athletic department you might just get a strongly worded letter from a disgruntled former fan!!!!!

Dear Family & Friends

I really like ice cream! In fact I like ice cream so much that when my momma let me have a lick or two I wanted the whole thing!! So I grabbed it~ momma tried to keep it away from me, but I'm pretty strong and I won!! Well until daddy helped

so I thought that I would eat the napkin instead--she wasn't paying attention she was trying to get my mess cleaned up!
Well guys that is about all I have to tell you right now, but I sure do love that cookies and cream ice cream!

Love

Braxton

Three Bears Creamery Cottage & Zion

After we went to the North Rim, then down to buy me some Jewelery from the Indian ladies we headed to Kanab, Josh was craving some DQ.....but we didn't think there was a DQ in Kanab so we found this cute little place that served ice cream. I got a ginormous waffle cone with cookies and cream ice cream and Josh had a sunday type dessert with cheesecake and ice cream and strawberries--he liked it but he said it wasn't big enough :) We all know Josh and his ice cream!
They had the cutest little Baby bear and momma bear and poppa bear chairs I couldn't resist the pics!

Braxton in Baby Bears Chair....yep mom it's just right!:)

Leslie in Momma bears chair Josh in Poppa Bear's chair

After we had our ice cream we headed to Zion, Josh hadn't ever been through the top of Zion so it was fun.....we stopped to take this pic and a mosquito bit me! I couldn't believe it--it's been 5 or more years since i've been bit~ Then we got stopped by this herd of big horn sheep....we watched them for a while it was fun, they were bucking at each other and running back and forth across the road!
We continued on down the road and Josh got to experience the tunnel! He was amazed at how long it was, and how much rock was above his head! Braxton wasn't a fan of the dark, he started screaming...weird! But we had a fun time on our break from being sick!!

Now we are home and back at work, well I am, Josh got worse as I got better. What started out as a cold progressed to the FLU......no not the H1N1 you may ask he is lucky in that aspect. He woke up Thursday morning with a temp of 102 degrees. He went into the insticare and they confirmed the Flu and prescribed bed rest. He is doing a bit better but he still has no energy and coughs and wheezes if he is up doing anything for too long. The worst part about it, our little man is now coughing and has a runny nose. He has also had a diarrhea a few times--hopefully it will not persist into this week!

North Rim

For Labor Day Josh & I decided that we were done being sick and sitting around the house, so we headed to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We had a run ride out.....it was a lot longer to the rim from the turn off then either of us remembered :) When we got there we went to the lodge and on the little scenic walk with Braxton! It was so fun to hear everyone say how lucky he was to be in the stroller.

So we were hiking back to the Lodge and this squirrel was just sitting on the trail he moved as Josh put his foot down to step--so we thought he deserved to be part of out post!

Johnson Family Pics

All of the events were in HONOR of Julie's 60th Birthday! Though she didn't have a clue she just thought that since Tom was comming up that everyone decided to come up and take pics! Boy did we have her fooled!

We took Family pics at Wheeler Farms this are one's that I took in between all the individual family shots.

Braxton's first trip to Lagoon!

Braxton's very first roller coaster was......none other than Puff the Magic Dragon! He didn't cry or scream he just hung on! It was so cute when we went down the first hill, he gasped! I loved it! I think he is definitely going to be a thrill seeker!

Josh had to be the cool daddy and win Braxton a prize! He was so cute he even made sure he had extra cash before we went in so that he could play some of the games! He won him this cute big tweety bird by popping like 15 balloons at darts! Braxton absolutely loves it!! He wouldn't let go, it was so stinkin cute :) Rattle Snake Rapids....need I really say more? Josh hung behind with Julie and the baby's ( he didn't want to walk around wet all day!) But he snapped some good pics! Our boat was Tom, Dalilah, Jack, Jamie, Chase and I. We were doing great just getting wet enough Dalilah was loving it laughing at everyone; then we went under the waterfall and got drenched, I mean Tom Dalilah and I didn't have a dry spot on us! This was when Dalilah decided that she didn't really like the ride and was going to cry the rest of the time. Poor girl :(

This is after the ride, my shirt is really a light color of green, and no I don't have nine pounds of hairspray in my hair to make it look that wet!! Josh just hanging out with the lil' ones-- Braxton and Ashlyn!

We had a fun time at Lagoon it was super crowded, and quite warm, but it was fun to have the whole Johnson family together just hanging out!
