So sleepy

I'm so sad as I realize August is almost here and the summer is almost gone. Aaron goes back to school for meetings and prep in a week and Jon leaves in another couple weeks. We or I should say Aaron and my brother Jon have been busy working on lots of house projects. It has been so great having Jon here- Aaron surprised me and whisked me away for our anniversary for a night and we left Aricin with Jon without any worries- it was great! This summer has been filled with lots of baseball games, a lacross game, Beer tastings for the guys, warm sunny days, warm thunder storms, and fun. Aricin is growing so fast and continues to learn new things and make us laugh. He's also going through what i hope is a phase of climbing. Everytime we turn around we're pulling him off of the dining room table, window seals, or anything else he can scale. He loves to play outside and is great at exploring. He is also very much a toddler and is starting to push limits and see what he can get away- We are not excited about disciplining - parenting is tough and i'm sure will just get tougher. But all and all things are good out here in Colorado.

Kids Bath Renovation

So my Awesome hubby has been working away at a crazy amount of house projects this summer and here's a peek at the Kid's Bath. It's basicly done- or it was until we found out you're not supposed to put glass tile on the floor- next week he'll be retiling the floor. Either way we're pleased with how it turned out.

Cats...

We're not big Cat people but a friend of mine from Westmont, Robin Eley was recently asked to illustrate a children's book. It was published a couple of months ago and I recently checked it out at our library. It's called How Many Cats by Lauren Thompson. It's a super cute read if you're looking to buy or check out a book. And I must say the illustrations are Awesome! Go Robin!

It's a Girl

Most of you know already but for those of you that haven't heard... we're having a girl
and i'm finding to my husband's dismay little girls are so much more fun to shop for. We can't wait to meet her!

Cuddle time with cousin, Attison

I can't believe we're back already, our trip flew by. We had so much fun see friends and family. It was great to be able to stay with Krsity and Darin in San Clemente for a few days before Jon and Kim's wedding- it's always a treat to be back in Orange County. Aricin had a blast playing with Eli and we are looking forward to meeting the newest Johnson when she gets here in August. Aricin made it down the aisle without a hitch- he zig zagged back and forth greeting people along the way and even stopped to generously give the ring pillow to a friend that he recognized. Luckily the groomsmen were armed with pretzels and coaxed him to the end. He was quite a hit as everyone cheered when he finished. We got to see my little brother, Jon complete his first 26. 2- San Diego's Rock N Roll Marathon looked like it would have been a fun one to run. We spent a few days at the coast - it's always a treat to be back in San Luis. It was fun for Aricin to play with his cousin Attison and we got to meet our new niece, Ayla. We also got to go to Farmers and have dinner with Zoe and Jason- a treat. We stopped in Morro Bay on our way back to the Valley and enjoyed the sun and clam chowder. We spent about a week in Visalia catching up with old friends- Aricin loved playing with Kirsten, Lachlan, Jovie, Miles, and Isaiah. He also loved all the attention he got from family.

We're now back to reality - it's so nice having Aaron home for the summer and having my brother Jon here. We've only been back for a few days and have already exposed him to one of Rock Bottom Brewery's free pint nights as well as a Comedy Show at the underground of the Soiled Dove- of which i'm embarassed to admit that i fell asleep at- I was praying that one of the comedians wouldn't call me out. Aaron has already started cracking on the house projects while my belly seems to be expanding at crazy speed- in the last week i've ballooned. This kiddo is obviously making it's self at home in there. It's great to be in my second semester- i'm feeling so good. well i better go. Come visit us soon.
