Love being an Auntie!

Not to brag or anything...but I seriously have THE CUTEST new nieces and nephew!!! Not to mention that all of my other nieces and nephews are just babes! I can't get over how cute these new little babies are!!!
I had to share.

All these pictures are just to die for, aren't they?!
They go oldest to youngest.

Above is sweet little Logan. I just LOVE this picture!!! He was born right before Christmas, but lives all the way in Houston, so we haven't been able to meet this little guy yet.
All the McArthur kids are darn cute! They all have dark hair (except Madisen) and these big brown eyes. I'm hoping it isn't just a McArthur thing and that it's a Clark thing...

Little McKelle is the itty-bittiest one of all.
We were lucky enough to meet her this past weekend in DC. She's only about 8 lbs and she is five weeks old! She is so little and precious! She definitely does not look like a Clark yet anyway. She has blond hair and will probably get big blue eyes, (I guess that's what her dad has, but he's a different looking Clark (where did him & Doug come from???)

Last, but not least, is the oh-soo-cute Adalee Mae!!!
She is such a sweet little babe, even if she is screaming in both of these pictures. I just think they are so dang cute!!!! My brother and sister-in-law are so creative at taking her pictures.

Adalee was born in February and like Logan, we still haven't met her either.
She is definitely a Johnson baby. I can't wait to meet you little Adalee!

Thanks to Uncle Dougy (matt's bro), who is getting married, we will get to meet all the babies in May!!! We (especially me) cannot wait!
Logan is Matt's oldest sister, Emily's, sixth baby.
McKelle is Matt's younger brother, Dave's, first baby.
And Adalee is my older brother, Matt's (yes there are two Matts in my family) fifth baby.

Welcome to the family!
We love you little babies!!!

happy anniversary

Today we celebrate our TWO year anniversary!
It has flown by, especially since we had Luke. We have seriously had so many fun adventures traveling and seeing new things. Life couldn't be better.
Oh the memories...
(I love reminiscing)
Dating. Matt came home for Labor Day weekend after he had started med school and we had a major adventure weekend, including four wheeling-Oh how I miss four wheeling.

One of the many engagement pictures.
Fortunately, I have a sister (mandy) who has an eye for photography and she spent a whole day in different locations taking hundreds and hundreds of pictures of us. Thanks sis!

One of my favorite wedding pics.

We were married at 7:40 AM in the Salt Lake Temple. It was one of the earliest times, crazy I know, but we had no choice. We originally were planning to get married in June of 07 but didn't want to wait that long, since we were already dating long distance and Matt's spring break was our only other choice. So we only gave the temple like a three month notice and that was the only time left.
We had our luncheon at the Joseph Smith Memorial building and later that night had our wedding reception in Salem. Fortunately it was a beautiful and pretty warm day in March (but I was prepared for the cold weather, I had white thermals to wear under my dress, just in case, haha).

It was the happiest day of our lives! I wish I could relive it over and over again!

Thank you for the best two years (so far) Matt, for all your hard work and all you do. I love you and am so happy we were married in the temple two years ago today.
I love you!

5 years

My friend Maddy did this on her blog and I thought it was cute...so here I go!

Five years ago I was...gesh...it's almost embarrassing to say....16!!!!! Weird! I had just gotten my license and my first hand-me-down-piece-of-junk-car (thanks to my reckless sister who neglected it and flipped it around a few times! Jk Susie!!) I was in tenth grade and was working at Pier 49 Pizza in Springville..wooo.
I wasn't expecting to get married shortly after high school and pregnant shortly after marriage, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Enough looking back on life....

Five years from now, where will we be....

• I will be 26 years old.
  
• We will be living in who-knows-where (hopefully the west, lets say Oregon)
• We'll be finishing up our four year residency...almost entering into the real world. (Unless Matt decides to do a year more with a fellowship...we'll cross that bridge when we come to it).
• Luke will be SIX (Weird, and a bit sad for me)
• We'll probably have three kids, if all goes according to plan...
• Hopefully my schooling will be done or close to.

The life ahead has much more to offer than my life did at the tender age of 16.
And I'm glad I'm pass that!

However, life is great and goes by fast enough! Even though I look forward to the future, I also want to enjoy every second of our good life now.

a new trick

Luke has recently learned a new trick.
It involves him taking off his diaper.
He sucks in his tummy and pushes his hands down on the top of his diaper and weasels his way out of it.
Sunday afternoon Matt had just changed a poopy diaper (thank goodness) and apparently didn't put it on that well...

I promise this is a clean diaper, I wouldn't let my child do this (well maybe for a picture, jk).

Luke is about due for his first hair cut.
He's getting quite a little mullet in the back, but now I can do cute things like spike his hair or part it for church (that's what Matt likes).

Lastly, the other day we were trying to get a picture of Luke just like this one of his daddy. I'd say they look quite a bit a like, wouldn't you?

More Fun Videos

Lately, we've taken quite a few videos of Luke. I'm just glad we can capture a part of each stage on video, since I know he will grow out of it all too soon. He is so silly and funny. He is learning so quickly and always amazes me. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as we do!

365 Day Challenge

My friend Maddy is doing this Photo 365 Day Challenge thing where you take at least one picture every day for a year. At first I thought there was no way I could do this...but after waiting a week or two I looked back at our camera and I already take a picture or video almost every day. I think it will be fun to capture all sorts of things that will be fun to remember!
So here I go!!!
