Our Update

Well, so that everyone knows, I never check the blog anymore. I used to check it every day, but now they are a little more strict at work. Joshua is sick today, so we have just hung out here. Sadie is growing and starting to sleep better on most nights. Mom and dad moved into the basement apartment, which gives us the house to ourselves-nice and quiet for Kristen. I may be looking for a new job sometime soon, so let me know if you have openings. And other than that, we are waiting for the snow to melt.
Also, the reunion will be the third weekend in July (16th ish?). We will meet Wednesday night and have Thur. Fri. and Sat. together before going home on Sat. night. For anyone who wants to do Yellowstone, we will meet Tue. night and go up on Wed. for that. However, that day is optional. I will get a list out of things that there are to do, but there is plenty: golf, snake river rafting, Jackson, Bar J, hiking, horses, lakes, small streams to fish or float, games.... We will be staying at Kristen's parents in Star Valley, which is free, so the money will go to activities and food, maybe $250/family, but we'll get back to everyone on activities and amounts. Just plan on the date for now.
Good luck to all, and we love you!

kim, we are doing great! Katie I think that's awsome

Sorrry Kim!

So, basically in the last few months I found out I was pregnant (surprise!), we bought a house, tore out flooring, re-painted, put in new flooring and baseboard, and, oh yeah, remember how I found out I'm pregnant? TWINS! SURPRISE!

Yup, it is true. I would have never - in a million years - thought that this could be possible. We are going to have TWINS!

I was going to post a pic of the ultrasound, but I can't find it. Just imagine two little blobs with arrows saying "Baby 1" and "Baby 2". Or, I should say #3 and #4.

No news on the gender yet, but we know they are NOT identical. Now, all we have to do is move all of our stuff from like 3 locations to one. Put it all away and then start thinking about how having 4 kids is going to ROCK OUR WORLD! I know, you are all laughing hysterically.

Ok just wondering why Joe and Kati's news isn't up here yet. Didn't you get the message that we are dying for information out here. You have to remember that even though you all live close some of us don't and we like stupid little updates. So now that you are reading this, take the time to write something of your own. For the little people like us and Weston and Doug and Tonia count as well. Love you all and I know some of you have news!!!

OK I was told by Shane to let him know when I post on my blog so that he can check out the pictures. So I posted. It takes too long to do both but I figure since the link is on this blog it is easy to check. Love you all. And happy inauguration day.

This is nice watch it!

The Haircut!!

Yesderday while I'm in the shower:

Emily: "Mom, is it okay if I cut my hair?"

Me: "(gasp) Did you already do it?"

Emily: "Yea."

Needless to say, she got ahold of the scissors and did a little trim job on her hair. So today I took her to get it evened out. I almost cried. But she is still adorable!!! Here are some before and after pictures. (with the "after" pictures first. i'm still figuring this blog thing out)

A fun game to play for Bush supporters!

Our high score was 15!!

Can I help Max Hall?

Coach Doman (BYU Quarterbacks) is in the hallway right now talking to coach Knight. Should I go to him and offer some advice for Max Hall's end-of-the-year issues?

Hello

Hey, just letting everyone know I am still alive. I went from checking this every day to once a month or so. Life is just different with the folks I guess. Anyway, doing well and just trying to help Sadie gain weight and keep quiet. Later all.

Carter Levi Johnson

Hello to all,

We wanted to give everyone a little update. Our insurance has approved the transfer for Carter. He will be flying up to Primary Children's Hospital. Now the question is when. Carter needs to be stable enough to transfer, and it looks like that won't happen until the first part of next week. He is still on a ventilator and gets all of his nourishment from an IV, but the IV looks just like Lemon Lime Gatorade, so he must be getting everything he needs. We look forward to all being home together in the near future, (even though the high in California is about 75 today.) Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers.

Kirk

-Hopefully these pictures give you a better idea of what he looks like.

Baby Update

Hello everybody. Sorry about the pictures. He is under a light for Jandis. We'll get better pictures without the light. Just a little update to let you all know what is going on, although I'm sure mom has done a great juob of this. Baby is doing well so far. He just needs to gain weight and learn how to eat. There could, of course be problems that develope later but that is just a case of waiting it out and taking it day by day. They are trying to transfer Carter to Utah but it looks like this wont happen until at least next week so we will be a divided family for a while at least. Kirk will go back to work and I'll stay back in California. The boys have yet to be decided on. I am doing well. I feel great and it doesn't seem like I just had a baby. It still hasn't sunk in yet.
We want to thank everyone for their prayers and fasting for us. We have witnessed little miracles already in this process and have felt the love from you all. It is a big comfort to have family and friends around to give support. Thank you all so much for what you have done so far and all the offers of help (which might still be accepted) that you have given to us. We love you all.

Christy in hospital

Christy is in the Loma Linda University Hospital in Calif. She has had some trouble with the pregnancy and is being kept there for her safety and the baby's, and under observation until the baby is born. We will keep all of you posted on her condition. She has been moved to a room where you may call her at: 909-558-4000 extention 46313. Call her anytime during the day except between 2:00--4:00 pm when they like to keep quiet hours. I'm sure she would enjoy any of your calls. Her spirits are good, but it is also a trying time for both of them. Our prayers are with their family. We love you Christy & Kirk & Porter & Brock.

have a great day

Merry Christmas from me too!

Nothing much to report here, but since Kim encouraged us to all post I thought I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Shane
