Yay! Spring time is here, the weather's getting nice, the boat has touched the water, the easter bunny came, and we've been for our first pull behind the boat... it's our favorite time of the year!
Here are a few pictures to document the start of spring...

The boyzies on Eater morning.

Our Cisco Man - 7 months

Finding his new bike in the garage... his face was priceless.

Tuck is obsessed with throwing rocks in the river.


Haha... this is an old pic from March at Harvest Foods in Bigfork. I just found it on my phone... hilarious!

Ha!


This is what Ty calls his "Spring Training". I don't know if you can tell, but the rope is hooked to the boat tower in the driveway and Tylor practices and learns new wake board tricks on the tramp. Which lead to...


Tuck's "Spring Training"

And this is what happens when it's time to come inside for dinner!

Tuck and I at Zayden's B-day Party... Chuck E Cheese... my worst nightmare... everyone in our family, but myself, got pink-eye 2 days later!

This pic just makes me laugh!

Here's to a fun summer filled with lots of sun, water, bare feet, and dirty boys.

back to school

Yup, I said it... back to school. Tylor turns 30 this year, we now have 2 children, and he's back at UVU with the 18 year olds and return missionaries! So we are doing things backwards, do you expect anything less?
Just before Christmas, we had been contemplating him going back to finish his business degree. I was all for it, but I was thinking in May at the earliest, or September preferably so we could get in another summer on the lake. He talked to admissions and they said he could start January 9th, which was one week away! So instead of avoiding the inevitable, we decided on a Wednesday to move, packed the house up, moved on Sunday, and he started school on Monday. Not the funnest week of my life, but that's okay.
Deciding to move in 5 days left us homeless in Utah... thankfully we have awesome friends here and Joey & Rachel took us in for a week while we found a house to rent. After a lot of internet searching and driving around countless neighborhoods we landed in Springville, Utah. It's a really nice community with a million little cookie cutter houses... definitely no Montana backwoods, but that's okay for now.
So we've now been living in Utah for a month and a half and it's going pretty good. Ty loves school and is doing very good; me and Tuck miss Montana but we try to hide our sorrow and embrace Utah for all it has to offer.. not much, jokes! We just miss our great friends, the lake, and living in the boonies. Everyday Tuck asks me if he can play with Rio now, it's kind of sad.
Here's some pics since we've been in Utah...

Saying goodbye to my Young Women in Montana... I cried. They're the coolest girls ever.

We do have a park less than a block from our house, which is nice.

Cisco - 5 months

haha, really needs a haircut!

Tuck's mean head butt = mom's black eye.

Our Sunday night tradition... popcorn & a movie.

Cisco's favorite pastime.

Potty training!
I'm proud to say, it's been several days without an accident.

It's been really nice out and we live close to the Springville skate park... so many afternoons will be spent at the skate park.

Tuck and his Dad rippin up the half pipe.

I thought this was funny... this is the original apartment Tylor and I lived in 7 years ago when we first moved to Provo and I was in Dental Hygiene school.

This is the current house in Springville.... so though we are doing things backwards, we are moving up the totem pole!

The end of Utah the past month and a half.

A Hop, Skip, and a Year Later...

I cannot believe a year has past since I blogged last.
I thought for sure I would keep it up after Costa Rica to document our crazy life.
But, a year has come and gone, and SO much has happened.
So here is a brief summary of the past year in the Tylor Johnson Family...

When we left Costa Rica I was 17 weeks pregnant and hadn't told anyone, except Tylor of course, so our families were completely blind sided by the news. (don't judge me for surfing pregnant, it's good for the soul:)
We got home to Montana and a month and a half later Ty was behind the boat!
In May, my Mom, Jill, and myself went to New York City for a week. We had a blast shopping and site seeing! This was my first time leaving Tuck, and it was super hard on me. I cried all the way to the airport and by the end of the trip all I wanted was to squeeze him in my arms.
On June 30th Echo Lake had a no-wake ban put on it due to flooding, so that really put a damper on our summer and we had to idle over to Peterson Lake to get any boating in. Yes, I picked the perfect summer to be pregnant.
At the end of August we decided to move 200 yards down the road to a bigger place. We were in the middle of moving when I went into labor... Tylor was literally nailing up baseboards while I lay on the couch in pain. I was not due for 10 days and was expecting to go over, so this was not how we planned it, but that's okay.
The best thing 2011 brought us was - Cisco Greggor Johnson - born August 31st! He is the cutest little bug, and such a good baby. We can't get enough of him!
I don't know about other people, but 2 kids was a big adjustment for me... it took me 3 months to figure out how to get everyone out of pajamas, teeth brushed, hair combed, breakfast fed, and ready for the day by noon; only to start on lunch! And I have 2 boys... no girls to throw cute hair into the mix.
Anyways, the Fall basically consisted of staying at home with the boys and adjusting to our new family of 4.

Now for the pictures... *WARNING* (way too many pics)

The day after we got back from Costa Rica.
