An update on the Johnson family!Since Baby Mecai has been on the scene, we have been really sleepy! Luckily all the boys take a nap at the same time so mommy gets one too!Isaac graduated from Kindergarten at Pinello elementary. We are so proud of him and all his accomplishments...including reading!I also graduated this year! I now have my Masters of Education and am a licensed teacher in the state of Colorado. I recvd. an offer to teach 5th grade at the same school that I did my student teaching, but with the new little one and my big boy not in school yet, I have decided to stay home because the boys are only little for so long.And because they were so proud of their little girl, my mom and dad gave me this Trailblazer as a graduation gift! It is an excellent car for our family fully loaded with a/c! (which we hadn't had in a few years so woohoo)The 4th of July was a great celebration at my parents house, but there were no fireworks this year :(We celebrated my big boy's 3rd Birthday at Chuck-E-Cheeses! He had an excellent time with Grammy, Grampy, Isaac, Nana, Grandpa, Auntie Jasmine, Uncle Austin and cousin Taylan. That's right! Auntie Jasmine in preggers! and we are expecting our little Nephew Taylan in November!We had been thinking about buying a house but that was not in God's plan at this time.

So we just ended up moving into another rental house for the time being and hope to build a home from the ground up in the next year! Myron and I celebrated our 8th anniversary, and of course baby Mecai came with us since he is still on the Momma Milk!

Myron has been blessed to have such a wonderful job the last couple of years, but his contract is coming up and we are constantly praying that the Lord will do his will and guide us to where He wants us to be.

One of our favorite past times is going to the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo and just walking around. Haven likes to take his animal friends and show them the zoo animals. He has gotten really good at naming the animals and their babies. However things changed in August.
I had to have surgery on both of my feet at the end of August and was bed ridden for almost 3 weeks. The boys really enjoyed this time because mommy was no more than 3ft away at any given time. Myron set up the hide-a-bed and there was little activity for me.

Thats most of the big events and here are some excellent pics:
This is Mecai's first cereal, oatmeal of course!My merry men!My breakfast birthday at IHOP! Yummy! :opMy baby boy during his tummy time; look how strong those neck muscles are!!!Brotherly Love!Both my boys enjoy story time!

The "Baby Mecai" also known as the "Carlton"

Welcome Mecai Christopher Johnson

Mecai was born May 4, 2010 at 10:40 am.I started having contractions about 4:30 am and by 7am they were 4 minutes apart. Daddy came home from work and took us to Memorial. I got an epidural immediately by Dr. Anderson who just so happens to be the husband of Dr. Ridnour my OBGYN. So we had the married couple taking care of us. The epidural was amazing! I couldn't feel a thing and they had to tell me when I was having a contraction so I would push =)Mecai came into the world 8lbs 15oz and was 21 and 3/4 in long! He was definitely a big boy!
We are at home now and recovering just fine! Thank you for all the prayers and blessings!
