Happy Birthday Grampa Corey!

Yesterday was my daddy's birthday he would be a very young 53 if he were still here. Like my sister said the older I get the more I realize just how young he was when he died... only 42!!! He lived an unbelievable life! (besides the sick part of course!) He was always doing something fun, spiritual, funny, and just being nothing other then the BEST!! Next week I am turning the big THREE- O!! It is so weird because it seemed like yesterday my dad was turning 30 and man he hated it soo bad!!! We all thought it was pretty funny! I was Indie's age... man how time flies!

So in honor of my daddy we went out to enjoy nature!

Thanks for loving me, baby!

Indie found a "toilet" on our nature walk.... leave it to one of my kids to find something related to bodily functions!

I love this picture!

Bug spray, come and get your bug spray!!

Lex staying true to his name of Lex Cordell ( my dad's name ) by climbing trees.

Olive missed her nap time and she sat down on the trail and said "nite nite!"
Poor baby.... sorry Miss Muffet!

Weekly photos

It was only a matter of time before at least one of our kids got these bad boys! If it weren't for my astigmatism I think her eyes would be as bad as mine! Poor girl! She was so excited to get them. She said " I can see the flip flops on the purse up on the wall!!" This is the first pair now we need to get a back up pair!

Tadhg is such a good big brother. He loves to share with Olive and always tries to make her stop crying when she is upset. I can always tell though when he is the one who has made her cry because every time he sings her Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It rarely works but it is cute!

Here is his new favorite thing to do while the kids are at school.....hold the bunny!!!

Lex never seizes to amaze us and he engineering capabilities. We let him but up his drumset and he did it all by himself! He said he remembered what they looked like and remembers watching daddy set them up. Amazing!!

This is what I found walking past the bathroom yesterday..... and she went pee pee!! She has been going potty on the toilet before bathtime and sometimes when I stick her on the pot while diaper changing! Can't wait for antoher potty training experience!! Psych.

Monday night fun

I love this picture of my boys!!!

She is so stinkin cute! I could just pinch her cheeks right off!


Do you like the pudding on his face?


Olive loves to record with the flip.........her finger!

Indie and her little bunny!

Me and my big girl!

Easter fun

We had an Easter egg hunt with the cousins and the kids had a blast!

You can tell from this picture that every time Olive would find an egg it would immediately get opened and eaten....

They have a great yard for egg hiding! Trees everywhere! Oh and Uncle Craig got all artistic on the kiddos and color coordinated the eggs for the big kids to find! Nice thinkin! I think you should be on the Easter Bunnies back up list in case he gets sick!

Indianna and her basket of goodies!!!


Olive actually go really sick while we were there. I think she has strep throat (the doctor didn't test her we just went straight to the antibiotics!) But as you can tell from the picture she was still able to squeeze out a "cheese" when I broke out the camera! And granny read to her and that is Olive's favorite thing to do!!! Thanks granny!

Daddy and the fish..........

Ok.......... I was totally kidding Paul before. He really did catch this awesome fish! I couldn't resist teasing him because he called me and asked me to post the pictures so he could show his buddies at work. Now tell me how can a Johnson resist that temptation!!!

Indie finally got this nasty front tooth out!!!


Lex's picture from art class got pick to be hung up in the mall! We are so proud of him! This is the first time he has ever worked with oil before and his teacher was very impressed! He has always been quite the artist!


Here is Indie's new pet!!! Isn't it adorable!!!! A wittle bitty teenie weenie bunny wabbit!!!
Indie is so excited.... and I have to admit- so am I!!! For now at least!

Isn't it so tiny!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY-O!!!!!!!!

It's here again!! One year older and one year wiser!
I asked the kids a few things about daddy and here are there answers!

Why do you think daddy is one year wiser?
Sorry hun, no one could answer that question......

What is daddy's favorite thing?
Lex said, "fishing!"
Indie said, "us!"
Tadhg said, "the Holy Ghost."

What makes daddy a good daddy?
Indie said, "He tells us great stories!"
Tadhg said, "Because he loves the Holy Ghost."
Lex said "That he's my daddy!"

If Tadhg could give him anything in the whole world it would be candy!!! If Indie could give him anything it would be when I die I would give him my life.(???) Lex would give him all the money in the world!
Oh and Olive laid down on the floor, smiled, giggled and said "Daddyyy!!!!"

Happy birthday darlin' I love ya..........dude.

Olive loves her daddy boy!!

She is still a cheeser!

So this is our spring break......... this is our back patio, or it was.

This is out the front. The street was starting to flood over! It was really crazy!
