Where to begin

Since it's been FOREVER since last post, here you go, in blogger upload order...


MACIE TURNED 4!!!
My parents and Steph & Sydney were out of town so we had a Gardner celebration---
Johnson side to come in a couple weeks combined with Sydney's---lucky girl, two cakes!


We went to Cinnamon Creek for our ward camp out and the kids loved riding in the handcarts!
It poured during the night and during breakfast---cleared up just in time to go home---still fun though!
We LOVE cousins!!!



Broxton had to have surgery to repair a hernia and hydrocele (look it up, complicated to explain)---We had to be to Primary's at 10:30 AM and he finally went into surgery at 1:15 PM---this is him playing in the waiting room...


Just after waking up...

Couldn't get the IV out fast enough...
Everyone asked how he did and I say that he was brave...braver than me, I was a mess! I inherited my Grandma Johnson's worry wort syndrome, and have a hard time controlling my emotions and fearing the worst! I am SO glad all went well and he is doing just fine, like nothing ever happened!
This weekend has been the fair---our fun started Wednesday night with the parade in which I drove the 'cow'dalac with the Dairy Ambassador and Delegates while 'got milk' girls handed out gogurts and stickers to the crowd. Trevor, his mom, and Shawna took the kids and watched the parade too. Thursday we took a break and stayed home, but today (Friday) was busy! Besides my role with the Ambassador and Delegates, we enjoyed the Dairy Show and Gunnar and Macie got to show in the pee-wee division---they did awesome! Here are some pics...

Here's Gunnar
And here they are excited for their prize!
So there you are a nutshell of the last month, although not all of our happenings---I will work on getting more summer fun posted---Oh, and I can't believe school starts on Monday (here come the emotions again...my little boy is going to kindergarten !)
