Johnson Reunion 2011

We were able to make it to Wyoming, well Idaho I guess, for the annual Ervon Johnson reunion. So glad we did because it was great. We got to try out our new camper and iron out the kinks before carrying on with the camping schedule this summer. It was so nice to have! We took turns cooking, played family fued, water balloon volleyball, and kickball, kids did scavenger hunts, rode horses, had rubber ducky races, fed the baby calf, ate, played in water, drove a mini john deere, 4-wheeled, and then passed out cold every night! A HUGE thanks to Tara and Cindy who put the whole carnival together. It was awesome! So good to see my family, including my super cute grandma! Love you all!

Thanksgiving...


So, Thanksgiving came and went so fast. Can't believe it! We spent a long weekend at my parents cabin. (To some, a cabin, to most of us, a lodge if you will.) It was a lot of fun, and very relaxing...as always.
We did stick to our guns and braved the cold weather and late hours to shop in Park City at the outlets. They opened at midnight and we went down early.
At 3, when we were all borderline delirious, but mostly tired, we hit the McD's for breakfast. Then back to the stores. This pic was taken around 4 am. Thank heavens for big sweatshirts. You can't really tell that I'm 6 1/2 months prego there. I feel it though.
At about 5:15, we braved the crowds at the PC Walmart. I don't know whose idea it was, or at that point, what the 'h' we were thinking...I personally will NEVER do that again. WOW!
I, being 36 and pregnant, went way overboard thinking that being on my feet all night would somehow be ok. It wasn't and hasn't been since. I'm a week away from my 7th month and having some pre-labor issues. I'm ordered off my feet after an hour or two. Which you think would be ok...but, I get a little stir crazy...my feet start bouncing and then I'm up wandering, pacing. I really am trying though. I'm a lot older than the first go round. My body is feeling this pregnancy REALLY thoroughly!
Anyway, all is well here at the Eerkes household. Dan put up lights today. No injuries to report. Thank heavens! It was a 5 to 6 hour adventure, or torture session to him. The house looks great though.
This is my favorite time of year!
