Happy 7th Birthday to Riley!

It is hard to say but my Riley turned 7 on Saturday the 16th. Happy birthday bud hope you had a wonderful day!
On Friday Kalli and I went to eat lunch with him at school and he was so proud we were there to eat with him, he showed us the ropes. I have to tell you what a riot it was to sit and listen to his little buddies tell me all of their "wound" stories from stitches to staples in the head I heard it all and all on TACO SALAD day :) Then later that night my sister in law, Hayley took him to the Monster Truck Show, which he loved so much especially when the tire fell off the truck (only boys). Now we get to Saturday (his actual birthday)we started the day at Classic Fun Center aka Classic Skating (does that bring back memories or what!) with a bunch of family and friends and let me tell you he made out like a bandit from Transformers to Lego's and of course Wii games. It was so funny to see everyone out there on skates, blades and scooters (Jett seriously has the biggest blister on his ankle). Then we went to lunch with my family to Chili's and then every year my parents take the kid's to let them pick out their own "toy" present.
I have to take a minute to tell a bit about Riley since this post is strictly about him. Riley is probably one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet, he has a heart on him way to big for his little body (as my Dad always says). Riley is also one of the most laid back, easy going kid's, definetly not hard to please. He loves every sport under the sun and is so good at all of them (not to mention he is speedy- gonzalez). He is doing great at school and has a ton of friends who think the world of him. He loves life and has a smile that lights up your day. I love you so much Riley I am so blessed to have you as my little boy, and that you will always be no matter how old you get. You make me so proud I could not have been blessed with a better son. Happy Birthday Riley!!

What a Day!

I loved this picture and what her little shirt says

Last Thursday was an early night for the Johnson family, we had to get up to get Kalli to the dentist and take Riley to my cousin's so she could watch him while we were there. We had an early dinner then off to bed. Then at 12:30 a.m. we get a call the one we have been waiting for, but did not expect, Ashley's water broke and they are headed to the hospital to have the baby.

So we got to the dentist and they came to distract her by offering her 4 prizes then let her pcik them out of the basket. Then put what they called a "dart" in her arm, which pretty much knocked her out after just a few seconds and then we handed our 4 year old over to them and they took her away saying "see you in about 45 minutes". I looked over at Jett and well...let's just say he was a wreck. They came and got us to come back and sit with her until she woke up, we sat and talked to the sweet nurse who we later found out knew Jett's sister and my brother so that made time pass a bit more quickly. She kept telling us it usually takes 30-45 minutes for them to come out of it, and just as she said 45 minutes and she started to wake up. We had a ton of laughs just watching her come to. Meanwhile, my Mom and Dad are texting me saying Ashley is at a 5 and they expect her to be fully dialated in about 5 hours. We left and went to pick up Riley (thank you again Tracy for watching Riley, he had a blast). I was thinking I had plenty of time to get Kalli more "sober" before heading to the hospital. We get home and get a call that all of a sudden Ash is at a 9.

We finally arrive at Salt Lake Regional (remember I live in Herriman and this is on 100 So. 1000 E.) to say a quick hello and good luck when they kick us out of the room so she can begin pushing. We walk outside made a quick run to the hospital store to get batteries for my Mom's camera, just in time to get back see the Doc walk into her room then 10-15 minutes later we hear the baby crying and let me tell you she sounded ticked, it was hilarious. It was such a great and crazy day, needless to say, Kalli did great and does not remember anything, except that the nurse promised her 4 prizes and she only got 2. Ashley who never thought she would get here, gave birth to Bostynn Nicole Hutchison 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 18" long. I just think it is so crazy my baby sister is now a Mom, wow I remember when she was born I feel like that was not that long ago. Congrats to Ashley and Loni!

*A huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave their kind words of advise to me!
