May Days

We seemed to have a lot go on this month and it's not over yet, so I thought I better catch up before I get too far behind.

At the beginning of the month we decided to take the boys fishing. We were just going to go to a pond out in Boulder City, but decided to make the trek across to town to go to Floyd Lamb State Park and I am glad we did. It is such a beautiful park and kind of makes you feel like your not in Vegas. Jakob had a blast catching fish and Mason enjoyed it for a little bit--I think he still a little too young, because he got impatient and decided chasing the geese was more fun! I met my friend Joanne there and we took the kids for a walk and went to see the peacocks, baby ducks and baby geese. It was a fun day and we look forward to going back again soon!
The Johnson family May Birthday Boys! We had our monthly FHE hosted by Johnny & Steph to celebrate Matt and Jakob's birthdays. Steph provided some yummy cakes for dessert, the adults chatted and the kids had tons of fun playing. It is always fun to get together with the family and now that we live in Henderson, our monthly FHE is usually the only time we see everyone, so I am grateful my mom insists on doing them.
We also celebrated Mother's Day with my mom that evening. She received some fun gifts from everyone and she deserved it. She is a wonderful mom and a great example to me. I love her tons and am very thankful to have her in my life!
Happy Mother's Day to me! Saturday night my hubby and kids took me out to dinner. Then on Sunday the kids gave me a Swiffer Wet Jet (don't worry-I wanted it!) and Wade gave me a giftcard to Lady Footlocker to buy some workout clothes (don't worry-I wanted that too!). After church Wade made a yummy dinner for us, packed his own lunch and headed off to work. Sunday's are kind of hard with his work schedule-so thanks for all you did for me and the lack of sleep you got because of it all-I appreciated everything and love you tons! I am so thankful for my kids and I love being a mom-even though it's the hardest job I've ever had!

Last but not least-I took Hannah to get her ears pierced! She doesn't look to happy about it in this picture, but it was the best one I could get that you could actually see the earrings. We went to Libby Lu's at the mall and the pierced both ears at the same time. She cried pretty hard for a few minutes then fell asleep and when she woke up she was back to her normal, happy little self-smiling at everyone she saw. Now she looks even more like the little princess that she is! Hopefully she won't be mad at me when she gets older for doing that to her!

It is so hard for me to see my kids get shots, or the ear peirecd thing was hard for me too. But Alissa was 4 and begged me when her Aunt had her's done. I told her it would hurt but she insisted. I wish I had done it when she was younger because it would have been alot easier to clean them than when she was more mobile. (sigh)

Our family will have to try that park out it looks so nice.

Also I think it is so great your family does FHE together like that. I think I have heard that some of the general authorities insist on that as well with their own families.

we'll have to go out to that park sometime with our families. It looks like fun, and the boys would have a blast. I think it's great too that your family get's together once a month. I wish my family lived close enough to be able to do that! Oh well, such is life. I love Hannahs ears! She looks so cute! I wish I would have done it with Bella!

Yes! I found it! Your blog is awesome and your kids are so cute. Hannah is so cute with those little earrings. It looks like you guys have been pretty busy this month, but having a lot of fun doing it. We want to wish Jakob a very happy birthday! We hope he has a great day!
