Lately

We haven't been up to a whole lot in the last little while. It's fun having friends so close (next door) because we can just go to each others houses or outside and hang out. All of us have really enjoyed having friends to do things with, even Clayton has enjoyed it lol. The weather has been so crazy so some days we're outside and others we're stuck inside wishing we could be out. A few random pictures from the last couple weeks and little updates on the boys.

 Oh dear baby Range. You love to take moms phone and take selfies lol you took about 20 of the exact same face. haha.. Range is quite the smart little dude. He is talking so much and has so many little sentences he says and it's so cute. He is still a shortie but can open all the doors in the house, even the ones to outside.  He loves to play with his brother and friends even if they don't always want him to. They're all pretty good at involving him and letting him play with them. He loves his baback (blanket) and his pluto puppy. Those are the things he has to sleep with every night a long with his fan and music. He has no desire to potty train, but that's ok he's still little, we'll get there eventually. He's super naughty and is always getting into things. Loves dumping out anything he can get his hands on, cereal, toys, crackers anything. Doesn't have his binky anymore and occasionally asks for it even though it's been a long time, I tell him he threw it away and he's a big boy and he's just fine and then lays down. lol

 Sunday with my boys

 Colored all over his face and hand with marker.

 Enjoying the nice weather.

 Ryder has taken over my cabinet I'm redoing and made it his airport lol

Ryder is still loving school and learning so much. I'm glad I stuck to my gut and didn't put him in Kindergarten. He loves to play with his friends and loves that he can just run up one or two houses and be there. He's usually always with one of them if not both. He plays well with his little brother but still gets pretty annoyed with him at times too. He's obsessed with stuffed animals, planes, trucks, cars and Transformers. Transformers are his favorite movies. He's still just a little friend and doesn't eat much. He does do better since we started therapy but we are done with that now. He has melt down when we try to get him to eat things he doesn't want or thinks he doesn't like, we can still usually always get him to eat at least 5 bites though.

2014 Review/ Christmas letter

2014 treated us pretty dang good. I can't complain about too much. We bought a new house, made new friends, got church callings, made a few trips to Blanding, bought a new camping trailer, and did a lot of things around our house.

Clayton hit one year working for MSHA and still really enjoys it. He travels a lot and his gone almost every week. He didn't get to get out shed hunting much this year. He also finished his training in West Virginia and now goes to the mines on his own. He went on a fun hunting trip in October with Ryder and his friends. He made friends with the new neighbors too and has gone shooting with them quite a bit. He's pretty excited to try out his new Jumping Jack trailer, and can't wait until spring.

Kyndra has enjoyed the year doing lots of crafts and running races with her new friends. She's had fun decorating and doing new things to the new house. She started watching kids at home after school started and really enjoys it. She keeps busy staying home and being mom.

Ryder started his second year of Preschool this year. He also celebrated his 5th birthday the end of July. He's made a lot of new friends as well. He loves having a house and friends to play with. He's becoming quite the little dude. He took eating therapy sessions through out the summer and they seemed to help him a little bit. He loves to play with his brother but torment him at the same time. They're pretty good buddies for the most part.

Range celebrated his second birthday the middle of December. He's a very active little boy and is always on the go. He ditched the bink and sleeping with a sippy this year. He still loves his blankets and always has to sleep with them. He talks like crazy and says the funniest and cutest things. He's a pretty smart boy.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season and a good 2014. We wish  you all the best in 2015.
Love the Johnsons

 Spa day with Kara

 Threw out my back shoveling snow at the Provo house.. Ended up being a bulged disk. This is what I look like every time I throw it out now. :/
