Happy Spring

Here are pictures of Sarah from her spring program at school. Too cute! Happy Spring.

Spring Break Fun!

We enjoyed a nice weekend with my oldest brother and his family who came to visit from Phoenix. We spent the majority of the weekend at Durango Mountain Resort (i.e., Purgatory). Everyone, with the exception of Sarah, my sister-in-law and I, enjoyed either skiing, snowboarding or both. The entire weekend was filled with blue bird days which was great. We also had the little ones out to enjoy the sun on sleds, though Sarah really didn't want to ride the sled but would rather pull it along. Even Daisy the golden retriever was able to join in on the fun and get one sled run down the hill.

Sledding at the end of the day.

Sarah and I enjoying the sunshine. Just chillin as we watched Hayden and Jack during their snowboarding lesson.

Sarah would rather pull the sled empty then let you pull her along. Very risk adverse little girl.

Hayden and Jack snowboarding for the first time.

All the kids piled into the play room before bedtime.

We also enjoyed a combo birthday celebration while everyone was in town to celebrate Sarah, my brother and my sister-in-law's birthdays which all fall in the last week of March/first week of April. Everyone enjoyed princess cupcakes especially our little girl dressed up as a princess for the occasion. Kirk and I will celebrate Sarah's birthday again on the day, March 30th, with a smaller celebration and gifts.

Enjoying the final stretch

All is well with the Johnsons. We have about 6 more weeks to go before Baby J #2 arrives. We are excited but at times feel somewhat panicked by the fact that our days are numbered until we will have two kiddos to raise. The pregnancy is still going well though I do feel bigger and slower these days especially by the end of the day. The baby is very active and continues to tap dance on my bladder most of the time. So I'm wearing a path to the restroom both at work and home.

We've been spending time on the weekends relaxing and doing spring type chores like trimming bushes, blowing leaves, fixing gutters, etc. so that it's done before the baby arrives. Sarah is a big helper in the yard. The weather has also been nice allowing more frequent trips to the parks. Sarah's 'school' has their Spring Program tomorrow evening so we will post pictures of her all dolled up soon. She has been singing up a storm at home these days with the new numbers they've taught the kids.

We are excited for next weekend when my oldest brother and his family will be here from Phoenix for a long ski weekend in Durango. We managed to get a town home at the Durango Mountain Resort with access to the lodge which will be so nice for the adults and kids. We can't wait!

Picture of Sarah and I at Berg Park on the bridge over the Animas River. Kirk and I felt bad that we didn't have too many 'belly' shots this time around, so we decided to document the next few outings.

Sarah playing with the baby papasan that we pulled out to clean and have ready. The rule is only baby sister or Sarah's baby dolls are allowed in the chair. So while boy baby rests snug as a bug, Sarah enjoyed her snack.

Sarah is all about dressing herself lately. And before nap on the weekends, she will de-pants herself and run around in her panties. Her latest obsession is her shinny black shoes that I bought last year in Phoenix that now finally fit her which will be great for the Spring Program.

Everyone is resting with their blankets.
