Johnson Halloween Party 2015

As always, the annual Johnson Halloween was a huge hit!

We love our family and the fun parties we have!

We had a yummy soup'n roll dinner with a few spooky desserts, 

some crafts for the kids, bingo, a costume and 

pumpkin carving/painting/decorating

contest and a jolly good time.

 The Biglers and (Matt) Johnsons.

 This year Matt wanted to be a mad scientist. I bought him this wig and 

it came with the glasses (I'm thinking Napoleon Dynamite). He had an 

old white coat and junky tie he decided to burn up. :)

He's such a good sport. He's the best.

 We had a Luke Skywalker, a bat and a super hero too.

We told our kids if they found/made their own costumes we'd pay them

$5.00. Luke surprised us and actually did it! He borrowed the robe for his

costume from his piano teacher. 

 I never used to be a big fan of Halloween until the last couple years.

I sorta love it. I've always wanted a good witch outfit that I could wear year

after year if I want to. :)

 The Mad Scientist was also on call that night...haha. Good

thing he didn't have to rush into the hospital looking like that!

 (Chris) Johnson and Lofgran Families.

 I had so much fun making pumpkin spice, cream cheese, brain cupcakes!!

And I must say there were some pretty AWESOME pumpkins!

 The costume winners for the night!

 Oh and baby "Mermaid" Raegan won too! :)

 My pumpkin won "Cutest Pumpkin,"

Luke "Most Artistic"

and Devin's....well, I can't remember. But it was a cute bat!

Just like his costume. 

And all the other pumpkin winners/participants.

Thanks for another awesome party!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

September happen'ns...

Crazy hair day at school...

That little face is just too cute!

 Matt wins. He totally wins.

He surprised me and took me to the TAYLOR SWIFT concert!

It was AMAZING! Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it actually.

 He actually bought tickets the day of the concert and ended up getting 

dang good seats for a pretty good price. I am dying...still...thinking about it!

 It really was hard to contain my excitement all day long!

 Her concert was really less of a concert and more of a show!

She was all over the stage, and had this cat walk that would rise 30 ft

above the stage and swivel around. She was able to get pretty close to so much

of the crowd. The crowd was NUTS. And the special effects were awesome.

I sung my heart out and danced danced danced! Matt was swaying and at least

he stood next to me all night so I wasn't dancing all alone (I was in the

seat next to the isle:). But at the same time I didn't even care! It was too fun!

After the concert we went and got breakfast at a diner at 12:30am.

Such a fun date night!

 Luke's new cool hair cut. Little stud!

Some more pics from Dev's birthday...

 My handsome men!

 We took a drive through the Alpine Loop and had a picnic on a Sunday afternoon.

The leaves are changing and the fall weather is gorgeous!

 We've even had some good rain storms lately too!

 Funny James got this cheap helmet stuck on his head. Like really stuck. What the?

 Finding Halloween teeth

And the DIRTY DASH!

Another fun date this month...we teamed up with some other people from Matt's office

and we did the Dirty Dash in Heber. It was such a blast!
We basically climbed through a bunch of mud obstacle courses, waded through

freezing cold, muddy water and more. It really was so fun!

Afterwards Matt and I rushed home, showered and went out with our neighbors

for date night. I'm so glad we've been able to get out and have some fun dates recently!

 Dr. Young and Dr. Matt-good sports!

Happy 5th Birthday Devin!!!

Devin turned 5 yesterday!!!

I still can't believe it!

He had a fun day.

Breakfast consisted of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with chocolate milk on the side.

We played wii games together.

Played some board games.

One gift he got was clay. We sculptured clay (such a mess!).

 Dev made his hair "so crazy like shark boy" per one of his birthday requests!

We met daddy and aunt Sarah for lunch at Los Hermanos.

They sang happy birthday to him and I thought he was going to cry!

They're so loud and they crept up on him. It was pretty funny.

 Sarah came back home with us and she played more games with him.

We made homemade (might I add, delicious!) pizza.

They boys made their own. 

 Then I was sorta feeling bad because I didn't feel like throwing a big 

friend party this year...but the best thing happened.

When it was time to cut the cake we called our neighbors over.

They came, had cake, opened some more presents, 

played one round of a game and sent them home.

And EVERYONE was happy!
And it was super easy! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my big boy Devin!

Devin Starts Pre-K!!!

Our little firecracker, Devin, started pre-k this year!

He will be turning FIVE next week, and barely misses the cutoff for Kindergarten this year.

And I am a-okay with that! I think an extra year will be good for him. :)

He'll be going to this wonderful preschool near us. They focus a lot on music and art.

They have four classrooms, and each class rotates through all four classes each day.

One room is a big art studio. Another room has a stage where they learn about instruments, music, 

dancing, singing and performing. And another is a big play room with different stations, they read and play. In the last room they learn phonics, letters/numbers, etc.

So far he loves it!

I just can't believe he'll be turning five already!

 Everyone always comments on his (and James') red hair. I see it so often I sometimes

don't realize how red they are, until I see photos of them! It's hard to believe we have two 

little red heads in our family. But I love it!!
