THE JOHNSON FAMILY: Fun weekend with Cousins!

Matt and Mandi

Matt and I met on a blind date and after a very short three weeks were engaged. We have been married for almost 9 years and have three wonderful kids. We live in Vegas and love it. Our family loves to take family vacations, swim, go camping, have hot cocoa and pumpkin bread in the winter, play the wii, and go to the park. Matt is a CPA and started his own firm two years ago with a partner. He stays really busy but still manages to find time to golf. Matt loves his kids, ME (of course!), peanut butter cups, trips to watch the cowboys play, sports, going to the gym, UNLV, and startling me and the kids. I am a mom and love the hectic life we live. I love snuggling with my kids, a good massage, a good book, the gym (especially spin class), a clean house, Diet Coke, Pictures, the way my kids smell after a bath, chocolate, shopping, funky shoes, Matt's laugh and smile, purses, trips with my hubby, cheesecake, a good laugh and hugs from my Matt and my kids.

Rilee Brynn

Rilee, "Ri", "Riles" or "Betty" is seven, in second grade, and such a sweet shy girl. Rilee is always looking out for everyone else and is a really good big sister. She loves to read, scrap booking, do her dolls hair, root beer floats, all fish, her dog Liesl, writing sweet notes to mom and dad, listen to her ipod, play with her cousins and best friend Gabby, swim, Disneyland,watching the Cowboys play with Dad, getting her nails painted, shoes, cooking with mom, jewelry, and boogy boarding at the beach. Rilee is taking golf, piano and a hip hop class. She has the biggest heart and I could not ask for a better daughter.

Treyvan Kent

Treyvan, "Treyv","T-Bone" or "Homes" is four, in pre school and a very energetic boy! Treyvan will do anything for a laugh and loves to be the center of attention. Our funny boy is also very stubborn and has to be firts at EVERYTHING. He is a good little and big brother even though he wishes he had a brother. Treyvan loves to go anywhere with his dad (especially baseball games), all super heroes, pirates and star wars, Disneyland and the beach, Mahi Mahi, playing with the maes gang and his cousins, anything sweet, swimming, reading books with mom, being sung to, wrestling, watching sports with dad, and cars. Treyvan is taking a Karate class twice a week and loves it! His eyes make me melt and I am so glad to have such a full of life boy.

Rowyn Shei

Rowyn, "Rowe" "skinny" "little" or "tiny" is the sweetest baby ever! She is just fat and happy. She is 9 months old and weighs 26 lbs. I just want to eat her little chubby thighs and wrists. She wears a 2T and it is hard to find shoes that will fit. She never cries and loves to be around her brother and sister. Rowyn loves binkis, baths, and her bed. She is very ticklish and has a really cute laugh. She loves all food and likes to play peek a boo and hang upside down. She has been such a joy to have in our home and we all love her.

Fun weekend with Cousins!

We LOVE all of our cousins! We feel so lucky that everyone lives here and that we can all see each other often. We had a blast this weekend when Kenna, Connor, and Cash spent the night. The kids had agreat time! Treyvan want to be just like Connor and followed him around everywhere he went. They made forts and played the wii and with Treyvans remote control Helicopter. Connor was so sweet to Treyvan. He even made him feel like a big boy and helped him in the shower. Rilee and Kenna had fun doing "girls" stuff, playing house and painting nails. Cash was a really good boy and I just had to laugh at all the cute and big words he can say. Rowyn and Cash had a blast in the tub. They are so stinkn' cute. I just love all of these guys! All of the kids played their little hearts out and were so good. One night we went to Mc Donald's to eat and play. I didn't think much of it but everyone at Mc Donald's stared at me as I walked in to the play place with 6 kids 7 and under. A few people asked with amazement, "Are those all yours?" I was surprised someone didn't give me a birth control tip or two. I would love claim them all and I wanted to say they were all mine because it could be possible that they were. Why is it such a strange thing to see 6 kids? It isn't that many....Is it?

Kristi said...: Six kids is a lot, I think...sounds like you maybe headed there since it's not a big number for you! I had a similar experience in New Mexico when I went to watch my girlfriends four kids, took my two, and was GINOURMOUSLY pregnant with Mckinley! Probably didn't help that I was wearing a "Knocked Up" shirt - many asked but many more stared! I can only imagine what they were thinking!; February 11, 2008 at 5:00 PM
