Excited siblings - New arrival

Tessa had lots of excited family and friends that came and welcomed her into our family. I was out of it the first day or so (sorry for those who got to see that side of me...), but I got lucky and was treated with visits from my sister Mary and brother Royden quite a bit while I was in the hospital recovering.

Tessa Elise Johnson- Born June 3rd 2010

We are lucky to have Tessa in our family. She's an amazing baby, full of smiles and giggles. She arrived via c-section June 3rd and weighed in @ 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches long. Here are some pictures of her at about 1 month. How fast they grow!!

The Beach

Our kids had just about as much fun at the Beach as they did at the amusement parks. We had a great time watching them jump over waves, make sand castles, and just get plain dirty.

Zoo with Sorenson Crew

Casey, being the kid he is at heart.

We had a great time at the zoo with Cassie, Justin, Kenady, Emry and Trevan. It turned out to be perfect weather, with clouds coming in to cool us off. We love having our friends come to visit!

Aidan's Preschool Graduation 2009

We are so proud of Aidan for doing so well in Preschool during 2009. He had a blast with Ms. Mari and Ms. Emily at Westside Elementary. I am having a hard time believing that Kindergarten is happening in a few short months. Can this really be happening? Mia was there to cheer her brother on during his final program.

Meeting the Characters

I'm doing these updates in installments, it's too hard for me to find enough time to get it all done! Mia's favorite part of Disneyland was getting to hug all her favorite characters. Here's a look at a few of her/our favorites.

Disneyland- Spring Break 2009

Our first day at Disneyland. The whole trip was amazing, and we started it off right, by hitting Peter Pan first and riding the Carousel several times throughout the day. The kids were great and were more excited the more we did.

Aidan developed a true love for roller-coasters and couldn't get enough of Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. He was a lucky guy, and got to go on each ride 2 times each time we went (once with Dad and once with Mom). I enjoyed hearing all about what we were going to get to do during our trek to our seat! Mia was a sport and didn't complain when she wasn't able to go on a ride....I don't know how we lucked out on that one, but it sure made it more enjoyable!
