Bennett is so freakin awesome

I LOVE BENNETT.
Top 10 things i love about Bennett:
  10. Bulging biceps
  09. Amazing aroma. Like a mixture of fresh rubber and dandelions.
  08. Rhetoric comparable to Walt Whitman and Chevy Chase.
  07. He is my daily inspiration. I constantly find myself with a dreamy gaze upon my face pondering how he has made my life so wonderful.
  06. He rescued me from a roving band of village sacking saxons.
  05. He is going to punch me 10 times in the ovaries. Because yes in fact that was a Beaver, not a stupid bear.
  04. He is an amazing kisser (not that I know) but my sister Katie tells me about it all the time.
  03. Wit to spare
  02. Bulging biceps
  01. Eyes like a deep forest pool, so enchanting I get lost in them.

Baby Pictures!

I had another ultrasound today and I got to hear the baby's heart beat.  It was so neat!  It's beatin fast!  He/she was also moving around, arching back, moving arms and legs, mooning us...  I just wanted to share the latest photos of Baby Johnson.  When looking at the last two photos, I told the doctor it looked like our baby has a wig on.  He informed me that that is the baby's skull in pieces because it hasn't fused yet.

A funny thing happened on the way to Mt. Hood

A few days ago Katie and I both had the day off and she, feeling tired of sitting around doing nothing, felt that it would do her some good to get out and about for a while. You know, eat some cucumber sandwiches with a sip of merlot while sitting in the shade of lilac bushes, gazing out on a moor in the light of a setting sun, that kind of thing. So she decided to accompany me on a drive to Mt. Hood to take pictures and go for a short hike. We got about 35 minutes from our home when she promptly decided to puke, so we pulled over and she puked. Then she thought it might be easier if she drove (less car sickness), and we were on our way again. About ten minutes later we found ourselves in the middle of three lanes of traffic with no way to get to the side of the road and an impatient amount of stomach stuff looking to come up for a spot of fresh air. So I held a plastic bag for her and she proceeded to drive and puke into her feedbag at the same time. Then I noticed that the bag had a rather large whole on the bottom and the stomach stuff was coming out as fast as it was going in right into her lap. This resulted in me laughing, gagging and dry heaving and getting all teary eyed at the same time all while trying to help Katie hold the bag, which was actually useless. Needless to say we never made it to Mt. Hood. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

It's not just my imagination

So, ever since I became pregnant, Bennett has been taking up the whole bed.  I told him this and he said it was just because I'm pregnant.  Well, now I've got proof.  I took a picture of our bed last night.  You can't tell me he's not taking up the entire bed.  I oranged out his cute bum cause I thought you didn't want to see it.  Try sleeping with this octopus! 

A Trip to Stansbury Island

Jake and I (along with Daniel's dog, Oliver went to Stansbury Island Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011. We had planned to take the ATVs but it was too cold so we went in my Jeep. There had been a ferocious wind storm in the Salt Lake area during the week with winds up to 100 mph. It blew out all the pollution and left us with incredibly blue skies. Stansbury Island sticks out into the Great Salt Lake on the south shore. Its about 10 miles long and 4 miles wide. It's stark beauty speaks for itself. Be sure to check out Jakes blog, I.0E-9 to see his pictures.
