Catch Up

      It has been a busy few past weeks in the Johanson home. We have celebrated Kaylee's 4th birthday, gone to a SF Giants game with 5 other families, and hung out with cousins everyday this week.

*****Pictures are really out of order! Sorry*****

Trying to act serious when we sang "Happy Birthday" but she couldn't hold back the smile and started giggling uncontrollably in the second verse!

Arts and Crafts :)

Painting....

We've been working on helping Kaylee Grace increase her attention span :)

She will usually only color for a minute or two...but today we broke out the water colors for painting and she painted a beautiful picture!

She sat there for about 30 minutes with all of us painting :)  We had so much fun!

Birthday Time!!!!!

We've had some important birthdays lately :)))

Kolson turned 10!!!

Kolson has the joy of the Lord in his heart! He is always thinking of others (especially Kaylee Grace), is kind, very giving, would love to play all day, loves legos & anything sports related, and his caring sweet heart brightens every day of our lives :)

We celebrated all the family birthdays at Papa and Nana's house last night...

Princess Kaylee and Princess Anna :)

The big girls helping with the babies

The boys hanging out

Princess Claire joined the girls :)

Sissy went to Hume Lake Christian Camp for the first time....had a blast! She went with awesome friends and met more awesome friends! We are so thankful that she was able to go :)))  What a blessing for her to have this amazing time away at such a beautiful place to grow in the Lord and in her relationships with her friends! 

Beach Week!!!

We had a great week at the Beach! It was so nice to get away and relax and spend time with family.

The kids enjoyed the warm spa after getting wet in the cold ocean

Even the little ones got in and "swam" around :) 

The house we stayed at had bikes we could ride....Dave, Tera, Brod and I rode to pick up dinner one night. We had so much fun! 

One of the highlights was going to the Boardwalk.....we sure got our money's worth by going on most of the rides over and over :)))

Sissy even got Nana to go in the big roller coaster!

Here are Dave and Tera at the end of the ride....it was our favorite! 

Kaylee had a BLAST! She went on every ride that she was tall enough for ~ even the Log Ride ;) This helicopter was her FAVORITE! She laughed and giggles the whole time she was in it :)

Anna was her BUDDY all week ~ they had so much fun together! Anna is so sweet and helpful with Kaylee and Kaylee just LOVES her to pieces! 

Hold on girls!

Silly boys on the roller coasters

And the girls :)

Uncle Dave and Anna :)

The dads took the kids paddle boarding

Alese even came for a visit! Kaylee started off the week with not wanting to touch the sand at all (she hasn't wanted to the last few times we've taken her to the beach). But as soon as she saw the big kids running from the waves, she couldn't resist! By the end of the week, we couldn't keep her out of the water! 

So much fun!
