Today marks 6 Months of Marriage

Today marks 6 months from the day we said "I do"

Even though we have barely experienced a fraction of what marriage can offer we are very happy and looking forward to the rest of our forever. 

Baby Bannin

Baby Bannin Rourke was born today. 

First Johnson Grandbaby! He is such a CUTIE!

Rachel is an amazing mama and we're all very excited to welcome this little blessing into our family.

Camping

This weekend we went camping. But this time we did it right. lol We borrowed the camper, the 4 wheeler, and we went with comfort instead of the tent version.

We found the PERFECT camping spot, which is surprisingly less than half an hour from our home.

After we set up camp we explored tons of ATV trails all over the mountain. Every time we got to the end of one, we found another. 

Heres a cute little selfie of us rinding around. 

All those little yellow "weed flowers" look beautiful when they are covering a meadow instead of your yard. lol

I don't know how this puddle got its name, but when it evaporates people will be confused by this sign.

We found lots of odd things on our trail rides. Like this random flag pole in literally the middle of nowhere.

And this pile of metal / Artistic statue we randomly came upon. I thought it was some sort of hippie idol but who knows. The oddest part was the random metal thingy sitting behind it on a rock.

???

Of course there were lots of Chickens everywhere.

And while Saturday was sunny and beautiful, Sunday kept scaring us back to camp with thunderstorms. Even though we didn't get to ride around much, taking a nap in the woods listening to the rain is one of the most relaxing things ever.

Sunday night once we packed up and returned home we went out the the Honda hills and rode around in the warm basin weather. 

Our Saturday Adventures

Today was the first day we were able to harvest something from our garden. Our spinach was leafy and ready to pick. It tastes SO much better than store spinach, its unbelievable. I'm so proud of our little box garden and plants. Its somewhat fulfilling to produce your own food.

Later this afternoon we went for a drive up to the green river to hike around and enjoy the good weather. It was such a beautiful drive.

There were these horses wandering around together. I dont know if someone owns them or if they are wild. Are there wild horses in Utah anymore?

I found this cute little desert flower growing on this cactus. 

After our hike we went to my parents house and found them in the work shop finishing the go cart. They covered the roll bars in foam and were ready to ride.

A Day with the Grandparents

Today we went out to the hills to enjoy the little bit of good weather this weekend gave us.

My grandma and I hiked this hill to collect rocks for our gardens. We found Two 5 gallon buckets worth of cool ones. And we had to pack those buckets back down with us. o.O

Michael and my Grandpa sighted in his new scope and blew up some tanerite. The explosion from it shook the hill we were on and sent rocks sliding down that almost took us with them. Scared us to death!

Altogether it was a fun day, and the weather was too beautiful to not be outdoors.

Davids High School Graduation

Today was Davids High School Graduation. He graduated with a class of over 300 kids.

The weather was very cold and windy, and we were all afraid it was going to rain.

Everyone was cuddled up in blankets and sleeping bags, trying not to shiver to death before the ceremony was over.

I was standing in the perfect spot to catch all the students getting their diplomas with the camera.

We're going to miss David living with us, and we wish him luck in his future endeavors and schooling.

Meeting Cian

Cian finally was able to come home last night. He's doing so good!
They say when woman hold babies they want one, but I think that's more true for men. Watching Michael with this little guy was SO cute it melts you heart. <3
He held him for 30 seconds before turning to me and saying "babe, do you want to have a baby?" Haha
Babies are contagious but hopefully we don't catch that fever for awhile.
