House Pictures

We are just about two weeks away from closing on the house and are really looking forward to it. The nearer it gets, the more excited I am! Here are just a couple pictures of the house.

Welcome Jack!

My little brother Jeff and his wife Laura just (yesterday!) had a baby boy:

Jack Glen Johnson

He's so cute I wish I could be there to snuggle him and kiss those baby cheeks!!! Congratulations you two, he's beautiful! Give him lots of loves from his Auntie Sissa!

I hate not being there for events like this! I'm also missed Mikey's band's debut at The Venue (which you can also see on YouTube just search for "We Won The Science Fair"), his graduation is coming up this week, which blows my mind! What happened to you!?!?! :-) J/K But I really do miss you guys lots!

Finding Home Sweet Home

Each morning for the past two months I have endured a love/hate relationship with www.har.com. I would wake up, hop to the computer, holding my breath, waiting with my little heart up in my throat just wishing, hoping, and praying to find the perfect listing. Finally, the search is over! I got a call from our realtor today and our offer was accepted! We found a house that we really love, in a perfect location, and can't wait to get things moving! Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we'll close the middle of next month. I'm so excited and feel so blessed for this opportunity we have had to come to Houston. It's a good life!

Woe is me... Gold's Gym Membership

Right before David found this job opp in Houston, I finally decided it was time I joined a gym. Of course, as soon as I signed my life away and got in my exercise routine, we got the news that David got the job and we were off to Houston. Now I have 23 months left on my membership and no Gold's nearby to work out at. Ugh! Seriously, this place is huge, could they not build a few more Gold's around here!? This has been hanging over my head for the past three months and I really want to sell it!!! Soo.... If anyone in Utah (anywhere in UT) is reading this and thinking they need to get off their bums and get exercising and want a good deal on a membership, let me know, because I'm dying to sell you mine!

I'll add that I really have no problem with Gold's they were nice and the gym is good... just bad timing for me. Anyway! At least I can vent this guilt/burden hanging over me if nothing else!

Ouch!

Trevor's first scraped knee - he was running in the street. He was pretty tough, but as you can see by the look on his face - he really knows how to play it up for some sympathy.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is Grandma Jones' birthday! We love you! This picture is already a year old, and is missing Evan and Whitney, but these kids are lucky to have such a wonderful grandma!

Madsie and the Trevster

Madison and Trevor are having a great time playing together. They have their moments of getting along and then a few shouting matches - "No! NO! No! NO!" They've got that word down. One of the funniest things you will find them doing is racing up and down the tile between Carin's front door and the living room. Trevor will say "Ready! Set! Go! (which really mostly just sounds like "De-de-doooo!"). Sometimes they'll also sit side by side on the bottom step, just to take a little breather.

I caught this video of them a few nights ago. Unfortunately, it was dark and the lights didn't work at the time... but the laughter is the best part anyway!

Not only has Trevor been having so much fun with his new friends here in Houston, but I am also having so much fun hanging out with Carin and Danelle. Carin and I take the babies for a walk on some mornings and run errands and meet Danelle and Evan for a fun outing each week. We're really living the life!
