Our little Girl is CRAZY!!!

So what has been going on lately? The weather is changing even more. No snow down by the houses yet. Only on the mountains, to bad I really can't wait until it snows. Austyn was to little last year to really play in it. I am sure that she will absolutely love it this year though. Thanksgiving is coming up soon also and this year will be her first thanksgiving day dinner. Last year was funny. Alex thought that she could eat all thanksgiving type food when she was 2 months old. HAHA ya right. It was just a funny comment.

So Austyn is just becoming such a big little girl. She is understanding more and more everyday. She can finally say "MaMa", that was such a happy day. Some of her favorites are.

Saying "Daddy, MaMa, Hi, Bye, Butt, Pup pup (puppy), Titty (kitty), three"
Giving hugs and kisses (she can give kisses with her mouth closed)
She can blow kisses
Watching Yo Gabba Gabba
Sitting in the cabinet
Biting her balls for her ball pit
Playing with her ball popper she got for her birthday
Reading and or eating her books (we had to start taking her books away because she was eating the corners off of them)
Dancing
And of course you can't forget her new favorite thing which is spinning in circles

Its amazing how fast they learn, and how quick they catch onto things. We haven't taken very many pictures lately, but her are a couple of videos of Austyn. Sorry they are so dark I took them with my video on my camera phone.

Austyn loves to watch Yo Gabba Gabba. Its a educational show teaching kids to share and be nice to others, and of course dance. Her daddy does not so much like it, but is learning to except that little kids watch silly shows like that. She also likes to watch "Glee". A couple of weeks ago the thong song came on and I wish I had my phone out. It was the funnest dance ever. Here she is though dancing to "Yo Gabba Gabba". Enjoy



This is a video of Austyn spinning in circles right after she had dinner. I can't believe that the spinning doesn't make her sick. She can go forever.

PICTURE DAY!!!

So Alex and I are really bad about getting pictures of Austyn. I know we should be so much better. Most parents have so many pictures done of their children and unfortunately we don't even have the pictures of when Ausytn was born printed off. We love her, but when we went through a rough patch pictures being done just wasn't an option. Luckily grandpa Wade and grandma Ami were nice enough to get us a coupon to get pictures done for Austyn birthday present. We still have more of the coupon that we can use, but here are some pictures of our little Princess.




We got some new family pictures.












Don't worry everyone will recieve a picture of Austyn. Thanks so much grandpa wade and grandma ami we love the gift. Also thanks to everyone who thought of Austyn on her birthday. Thanks to Uncle Zach and Aunt Sara (plus mason and carter) My mom and grandpa. Also My dad and step mom for the birthday toy and clothes for austyn. Also greatma bohn and all our family and friends. We absolutely love everything and Austyn has a blast with everything... Thanks so much again.

Happy Birthday Austyn!!!

It’s so hard to imagine that our little baby girl finally turned 1. For Austyn’s 1st birthday (9/20) we went out to eat at I hop and had our family and friends over for dinner and cake and presents. It was so much fun to get to see everyone, and to see our friends Meila and Tavianna (they are around the same age as Austyn). For Austyn’s birthday it was ladybugs for the theme. And of course what is a lady bug themed birthday without our little girl as a ladybug.



It’s really hard to try and get a picture of Austyn holding still. So here is the best one I could find, Austyn in her little ladybug Halloween costume for this year. Alex insisted that she wear it.








This is the birthday cake that my uncle Mike made for Austyn’s birthday party. The pictures don’t even give it any justice to what the cake really looked like.





These pictures are the pictures of Ausytn’s little smash cake.











Austyn had so much fun opening her presents for her birthday. We are already excited so santa to come and visit in the next couple months.











This is Austyn enjoying her first birthday cake. She wasn’t too sure of what to think of it at first. But when Alex helped her stick her fingers in it and put it in her mouth, you couldn’t get her to stop eating it.

By the end of the night we were exhausted. It was such a fun time to see family and friends. Thanks everyone who came and got Austyn a gift. We are so grateful.

2 YEARS AGO

2 years ago today I married my best friend. It sure hasn't been an easy last couple of years, but it has made us a strong united family. I love him more everyday. He is such a wonderful individual and I couldn't ask for more. He is a great husband and an even better father. Austyn and I are so lucky to have him in our life. Happy Anniversary sweetheart. I hope to celebrate even more wonderful years with you!!!

1 year

One year ago we were sitting in the hospital after 12 hours of labor. Our little baby girl was born at 3:44 am weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces. She was such a easy baby. Never crying except when she was hungry. Now our little girl is one year old and more fun then ever. We love having her in our life. She makes everything wonderful. She is walking and can say daddy and hi. She makes everything complete. We love her so much and hope she has a wonderful birthday. Happy birthday Austyn Mae Johns we love you so much!!!

Austyn's Special Day!!!

I know I have been bad about posting on here. I have been really busy with work and Austyn, but this weekend was all about Austyn. Austyn has finally conquered her ear infection and cold. Its so much better having a happy baby, instead of a sick one. Also as most of you know Austyn's birthday is coming up in about a week and a half. We are so excited and so sad that our little girl is growing up, but she isn't so little anymore. She walks all the time now. She can say more words. And she is just a ball of energy. So for Austyn's birthday party (by little I really mean big. There is about 30 people that will be coming). We were going to spend the 20th of September cooking food then taking Austyn up to build a bear so she could pick out a little stuff animal. We really wanted to make a tradition for Austyn(even though she really won't remember it, it was still a fun time to spend with Austyn). Well we decided that on the 20th of September due to everyone coming over we took Austyn to build a bear early. Alex and I both picked out our favorite animal. I choose a monkey and Alex choose a horse. Well then we held them in front of her and had her choose the first one that she liked. Well it was the horse, but she absolutely loves her horse.



We had such a fun car ride down to build a bear. Austyn just kept trying to talk to us the whole time. What a big girl.


This is Austyn's horse on Daddy and Mommy's bed!!

After build a bear we decided that we wanted to go on a picnic. Fortunately it was a in the moment kind of thing and we luckily had a blanket in the trunk of our car...


Austyn at the park eating chicken nuggets. She loves to be a big girl and eat big people food.


Daddy and Austyn posing for the camera. Haha Alex decided that he wanted to shave his head that day. Oh my goodness he looks so goofy. You decide for yourself.


Mommy and Austyn posing for the camera. Ah my little girl looks so cute.

While we were at the park we found this cat. We first thought someone brought there cat to the park, then we realized that the cat was a outdoor cat. Austyn kept wanting to pet it, but that was a no no.


This is the kitty kitty Austyn kept wanting to pet at the park. It was such a nice, sweet cat.

After we ate our lunch we played at the park.

On the way home I turned my head around and found Austyn. She was so tired on her way home, but we all had a blast.



Overall we had such a wonderful weekend full of fun.
