And Reese Makes 4!

Baby Reese Marie Johnson
decided to come out and meet us last Wednesday, June 25th!
AT LAST!
She came into this world weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and only 19 1/2 inches long!
If you ask me she has a little bit of big sister, Jessica Kate, in her.
They both have the cutest button nose!!


Welcome little Reese! We are sure happy you are here!

3 Showers

Well not only did I shower in my bathroom yesterday I was showered with gifts at 2 more showers!

The first Shower was my friend shower! LINGERIE GALORE! I seriously got spoiled! Thanks ladies! Erica, Mandy and Jen pulled it together really well, thank you!
















The second shower I wasn't alone! Mike was invited to this one as it was given by the Simmons family! It was our grocery shower! My parents came too. We got so many great things and if anyone likes waffles or pancakes I think I know where you might be able to get some!!! Ha-ha Thank you Simmons gang for such a wonderful shower. Mike and I are truly blessed to come from such amazing families! We love you!

Time to say goodbye

Last week was my last time teaching the young women
of the River Oaks 5th Ward.
I have learned so much from these girls.
I couldn't have asked for a better group to work with.
I'm so thankful for the opportunity I had to be blessed by them
and hopefully they learned a thing or two from me!

Happy PA Day!!

Happy Fathers Day to our Pa!! He's a great dad, Pa and patriarch of our family!!! Love you!!



*Pa doesn't read Blogs...so chances are he won't even see this!!*

**This is Me and Pa at the airport last year on our way to Disneyland!!

Model for a Day....

As much as I love the camera and pictures are the best memory capturers being a model for a day was about all I could handle!! Wednesday was a day the day I got my bridals done! My mom and Mike's mom, Lynn, were there too and took some fun pictures! My professional ones won't be available until Wednesday on the www.donpolo.com site! I would love to post more pictures... but you know how it goes, the groom is not allowed to see his bride in her dress until the day of!

Randomness

I have been tagged! Here I will list 6 random things about me that you may or may not know!

1. I can NOT sleep in shirts with 3/4 length sleeve. It's gotta be full sleeve, short sleeve, tank or well...no sleeves!

2. I will not leave my house without mascara. (I may have a time or two but it's not likely!) Trust me, you can thank me for that!

3. I'm a receptionist, though I don't particularly enjoy talking on the phone. I am easily distracted so if you want a serious conversation with me, it's best in person or even e-mail.

4. 99.9% of the time I have to fall asleep with my TV on. If it's off it's because I have a migraine and the light from the screen will only make it worse. Lucky for me Mike is the same, so neither of us will have to adjust to the other's TV habit!

5. I actually ENJOY my church calling. I might have a major breakdown when I leave this ward. I'm not joking.

6. I'm afraid of the dark, or should I say what might be in the dark! (somehow I survive darkness when I have a migraine though!) I'm not sure how long I've been afraid of the dark, but I'm sure it has something to do with the nightmares I had as a child after watching Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Weird!

Erica, Melissa, Melinda, Louise, Emily and Lori *TAG!!! You're it!*

Fancy Feet

After years of having to break in my own shoes
I have discovered a much easier way,
and one that is not only enjoyable for some,
but entertaining for the rest of us!
Thank you Jessi Kate, you're a life saver!

The Ultimate Compliment!

This past weekend Mike and I were given a GREAT compliment, by our standards anyway! Jeff and Venita were hanging out with us and I'm not sure exactly what provoked Jeff to say what he said but it made our day! Jeff told us that the chemistry between us reminds him of Jim and Pam from NBC's The Office!! For those who are fans of the show can probably understand why this was such a compliment, for those who don't....well shame on you! Honestly!



















*Since this picture was taken we have been working on our postures!

The Family Shower

Saturday was the first of a few showers to come! My sisters got together and planned a nice family shower for me. We quilted a blanket, Jill recorded Mike a few days earlier asking some questions which I too had to answer, we ate yummy food and of course opened some wonderful gifts!

Thank you everyone that came, it was great to see you all and catch up with you cousins!

Here's the whole gang

3 crazy cousins that I just love!

The Girls in charge!
