Going Back

I didn't think I'd ever find myself back at Snow College.... I loved the time I spent there and you could actually say that my life started there - when I met Brett.... but I really don't like school at all. I have a total of two classes left to take to graduate. I should have definitely done them while I was there. I've learned that I procrastinate things a little and school has been one of them. To those of you who are still in school... get it all done while you can because it gets a lot harder when kids and family come along.

I've always felt really strongly that i need to finish but haven't understood why. Hopefully I'll be able to graduate, finally.... I won't be done with school, but a big step closer. I'm grateful for such a good mother in-law and sister in laws that are so willing to help out with Payton.

I'm taking Chemistry and Fit for Life. Fit for Life should be a blast while being pregnant. I feel old and out of place, but it could be fun. Wish me luck. I'll keep ya updated.

Lake Powell

This months been crazy. I haven't been able to update things... because I haven't been home at all. This past weekend we were able to go to Lake Powell. This is our second year of being able to do this with Branch and his family. Powell is seriously amazing. Its so beautiful there and so much fun. We're so grateful for Branch and his family. They've been so nice to let us tag along these past two years. Payton is scared to death of the water, but still loved riding in the boat, and playing on the beach. Brett's turned pro at wakeboarding and I've just stayed at crappy... especially this summer, since I've gotta be careful with the babe in the belly. I'll use that as my excuse. :)

Jackson Hole - Cox Family Reunion

So, every year the Cox's have a family reunion and every year since I've been around just keeps getting better. This year Brett's sister, Callie, was in charge... she did a great job! We went to Jackson Hole. It was awesome. We went white water river rafting on the snake river and had tons of fun. (I wish I could have taken pictures) You shouldn't come back from a vacation more tired than when you left, but we had so fun and did so much that by the time we got back we were pooped. Thanks Callie!

Here comes another one!

Its about stinkin time! The Johnson Family is gonna have another baby. Its not official yet,I've been putting off going to the doctor, so hopefully I really am pregnant. We figure i'm two months along or maybe more, but who knows. I keep telling Payton theres a baby in my belly... and she just laughs and says, "no... silly mom." Brett's already praying for a boy. I'm just praying that it all goes well. We can't wait! We are super excited for this new part of our lives!

Oh How Fast They Grow!

Age 2 months

Age 2 1/2 years

I was watching Payton sleep the other day and it hit me how fast they grow up. She's so much fun right now. Shes learning so much... It seems like just yesterday that she was a baby. They truly do grow up so quickly. I've decided that I need to enjoy the moment more... because before I know it she'll be older and this moment, this age, will be gone. Sometimes I wish that I still had that little baby that I could hold and snuggle in my arms... the little baby that wouldn't sass back. I need to start enjoying more of those stressful terrrible two moments.

I Love You Payton! Thanks for being my little princess...

Bear Lake on the 4th!

This summer has definately been crazy so far. We don't usually have much going on around here. This past weekend we went to Bear Lake and had a lot of fun. Sorry, I wasn't able to take more pictures... We went wake boarding while we were there and I've decided that I am actually getting worse at it than I used to be. I'm not sure how that happened besides that in my older years, I've become more of a wimp. I worked really hard to get sun burned, and I did. Thank goodness, because its the middle of summer and my legs are still really white. Payton played in the sand all day long... for two days straight. We found sand in places I didn't think sand could get into.
