Happy Birthday Love!

Yesterday was Brian's 27th Birthday. He is growing up so fast. I wanted to let everyone know how much I love, and appreciate him for how hard he works, and how caring and thoughtful he is. I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Summer Travels

Brian and I have done a lot so far this summer. My cute nephew Bo gratuated from High school, and it was my first nephew to graduate. I will admit it made me feel a little old. On June 24th, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We can't believe it has already been 3 years. We decided to et away on a short little outing to Viva Las Vegas. It was so hot, but so nice at the same time. We just hung out at the pool all day, went to the strip, went to the temple, and my favorite part was going to the M&M store. That store makes you want to be a kid again. I loved it, and it was so nice to get away for a couple of days and just relax.

Then in July we went to the Barnum Famly reunion in Eastern Washington. It was really pretty where we went, and the weather was perfect. All though this wasn't one of the bigger reunions, (about only 80 people came instead of the usuall count of over 100) we still had a great time spending time with family that we don't ever get to see except at reunions. I did get to gut my first fish, and I have to admit that although it was a big thing for me to do, I didn't really think that it was a very pleasant experience. Anyone that knows me knows that I do not do well with those sorts of things.After the reunion we headed over to Vancouver, WA to Brian's mom's house to help her do some remodeling in her house. It was a lot of fun, and we got a lot done for her, and her house looks great. Here is Brian and his brother Garrett installing the new dishwasher. Here are some of us touching up the paint with q-tips. We really love Mom B. a lot. On our way to Vancouver we were able to stop at Mutnomah Falls. It was beautiful, I can honestly say that I can honestly say I have never seen a waterful up close before that was so pretty.

Baby Phaelen

Here he is, our newest nephew Phaelen Robert Johnson. You pronounce it (fay-lynn). He came here on August 13th at 1:13 a.m. He is very healthy, and has a lot of hair as you can see in the picture. My sister-in-law Johanna did a great job, and she did it alnatural...she is very brave. we are so excited that he is here, and we love him, and are very happy for Johanna, Jeff, and Calder to have this new precious baby in their family. Congrats!

Just Waiting

Well it is 10:15 on a Tuesday night, and I have not blogged in almost a month in a half. Brian and I are at our sister's house watching our nephew Calder while Johanna and Jeff are off having their 2nd baby boy. We are just waiting for them to have him, and all though there is a lot more I need to tell you all about, I do not have any pictures with me to update you with because I am not at home. My last day of work is on Friday, and I will be on full update blogging mode. I promise!
