It's a ....

We went to Fetal studio last night to see if our sweet baby would let us in on it's little secret...boy or girl?... the cute gal that did the ultrasound said everything looked great with the baby as far as she could tell (which is a huge relief as you all know). She also said there is no doubt about it but we are expecting a baby GIRL!

Now comes the hard part NAMES if any of you hear of anything cute please pass them along our way. I had to attach the picture of her waving to us, it was so funny, we kept telling the kid's that we are going to see the baby and maybe she will wave to say hello and sure enough, no kidding, she was just a waving and had the hiccups.

We are so excited to add her into our family!

In a slump and a movie set?

I have to admit lately I have been in a slump, I feel like I can't get organized to fit in what I need to in a day. I am pleading for advice...I start each day with great intentions to get my list done and somehow it never happens. So, therefore, my life feels like it is out of control... not sure if that makes sense but I need to figure it out. Being so sick with this pregnancy has thrown me way off and I know this but now that things are getting better I guess I am overwhelmed playing catch up. I know you are all organized so please, please pass along any tips you may have.


So my sister-in-law Natalee has a good friend who lives in a small town in Oregon. She was out and about one day and stumbled upon a movie set and which one are you thinking....TWILIGHT!! I have attached a picture of Charlie's house, notice the truck and cop car out front. She said she will send more my way so I will share because Natalee is there visiting her now so they are going to the set each and every night. I have one big question to ask all you Twilight fans....Do you like who they picked for Edward? I am struggling. If you have not checked it out they have scenes from the movies on mtv.com http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585900, I have to say I am way excited!!

A weekend at Grandma's

Last weekend the kid's and I went with my parents and uncle to visit my Grandma in St. George. They wanted to go down to spend some time with her because she just had some heart surgery the week before. It was a nice weekend, the first day we went and helped her move some stuff and clean a bit but let me tell you for 90 years old her little home is spotless. My kid's always remember their Great-Grandma by the "picture" wall when you walk in her house (I know all of us love that wall) it has just a ton of pictures of every grandkid, great-grandkids & my Mom's siblings, there is just something that is mesmerizing about it. Kalli wanted me to take a picture of the "picture" wall but I left my camera in the car the last day so maybe next time. My Uncle Randy was telling us all kinds of stories about my Grandma and her life, if you think about it she is 90 and has lived through giving birth in your own home, to washing your clothes by hand to know seeing the world so high tech. I am so happy that my kid's have gotten to meet and know both of the Great Grandma's they are such great ladies and wonderful examples of how to live your life, we miss my Grandma Romano everyday.

It was beautiful down there we took the kid's swimming and yes one morning we were out at 9:30 a.m. and it was sunny and warm! Who knows maybe one day we will feel the warmth of the sun again? One night my Dad decided to have a huge (one-sided) water fight with the kid's in MY hotel room but somehow it got turned on me and my Mom let's just say there was water everywhere but the kid's thought that was the funnest night. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us tag along we had a blast!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

I tell you what there is nothing like Disneyland with your kid's, there is just something about that place that makes everyone feel like a kid again. We had such a blast!

Our flight left at 8:40 a.m. so we thought we had plenty of time leaving our house at 6:00 a.m. to make our flight and still grab a bite to eat. Oh boy! were we wrong, we got to the airport and checked our luggage in with the sky cap and then went through the SECURITY LINE, let's just say it was worse than waiting in the lines at Disney, of course, we picked the SLOW line. Our neighbors made it through and down to the gate when my phone started to ring & ring, it was my friend Kelli who said we better run. So picture this, the Johnson's running through the airport we get there and the lady says "sorry there is now way you can make it on this flight" as we are looking at the plane and people still boarding? Jett lost it (I actually felt bad for the lady, not really:) so now Kalli and I are crying (not hard to do these days). Long story short we finally flew out at 11 a.m. to Long Beach then took a taxi to John Wayne airport because that is where our inital flight was to land and where the car rental was (Long Beach was sold out of cars that day....just not our day I guess). All worked out just fine we got the car and went straight to Disney to meet up with our friend's and it ended up to be a great day, that is why I said...what is it about Disney?

The kid's had the time of their lives. Riley's main focus was to hit every ride possible I can't believe at 7 he has no fear of any ride big or small, fast or slow. He was in 7th heaven because this time around the Pirates ride was open and he was tall enough to go on most everything this year. Kalli was just so happy to eat dinner with the princesses that she could care less about anything else..oh I forgot she got to see the little High School Musical parade. We went with our friends and neighbors the Bland's, they have kid's right around our kids' ages so it made it so much more fun for them.
