Just about 31 weeks. . .

The other new and exciting thing that James and I have been up to is the purchase of our new town home! Right now is a great time to buy. These newly constructed town homes are part of a new development in Hyrum called Elk Mountain. They have only built one strip of units and they are now beginning the next sets. With these first units, they put all sorts of upgrades into the homes. They realized they couldn't afford to continue to do all of these upgrades in the next units, so the home we purchased is awesome! We also have a big backyard of grass and don't have to look into anothers home. The other great thing is will we will be next door neighbors with Jarom and Nicci - James brother and wife :)!! They were actually the ones that found these town homes and right when I saw them I knew they were perfect for our little family. Jarom and Nicci just moved into theirs this week and I absolutely love it. I can't wait till ours is finished now. Everything moved really quickly with this purchase. There was actually a lot of interest in our unit so we had to move fast. It is an end unit with 2 bedrooms and a finished basement. We added a closet to the basement and that way we can sell it as 3 bedrooms. So total it has 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. Once we get some pictures I will have to post them. Our settlement date is April 29th and that is coming right up! We have had a designer help us pick all of the colors and cabinets and countertops, so it should look great. I just have to trust her! We did a few accent walls in a Latte color and when I first saw them I got nervous they were too dark. But after looking at it more, I realized I need to trust her and it is going to look great! I will post pictures as soon as I get them :)

Our 2 Year Anniversary!
I love James so much and I couldn't imagine life without him. I am constantly reminded of how great of a husband I have by all of the little things he does for me. I am so excited to begin life with our new baby and I know that James will be the greatest father. He is such a great pillar of strength in my life and supports me in everything I am involved in. James works so hard and I am so thankful for him. I love you James and I am so blessed to be able to spend my life and eternity with you!
James' 24th Birthday

Enough said. . . haha!

All of the parts to get his stereo installed in his car! This was such a great gift. He always wants to drive his car now that he has a CD player.
Here is James putting together one of the most perfect gifts from Larry and Ashley. As most of you may know, James loves to work out. Now he can workout in our apartment with his Iron Gym! I won't even begin to tell you how many pull ups he does at night. He is crazy and I love him!

We also got to go out to eat with the whole family for his birthday. Usually his birthday gets the shaft since it is the day after Christmas. But I tried really hard this year to make it extra special. We even took him shopping to pick out his birthday presents. He has never done that because it is the day after Christmas. Happy Birthday James! I love you so much!

Lots of Christmas Pics!

James got me a huge Christmas present this year and we were not able to take it to my house. So, I opened it on Christmas Eve before we left for the Johnson's. It is the most beautiful picture of the temple! Oh and don't mind the slight baby bump in the above picture. But don't worry, it is not that little of a bump anymore! I will have to post pictures later :)
All the Johnson kids opening their Christmas presents. They are so cute!

I love, love this picture! My mother-in-law Michelle looks so good!
Jake was playing his guitar and look at how cute his son Trey is. . . just sitting straight up enjoying the music :)
Weirdos - Enough said!
The Christmas tree on Christmas morning

Ashley and I are both going to the Britney Spears concert this year! :) And here is the funny thing - I will be 7 months pregnant! It is going to be so fun.
Ty and Coady made it to Utah this year for Christmas. We got to spend a lot of time with them and I am so glad they were able to come!
James kept teasing baby Jeter and putting his toys around his neck. . . poor baby
Every time we come to Provo, we have to listen to the radio in James' car. He has not had a working CD player for the longest time. Thanks to my Mom and Dad, we will no longer have to listen to the radio the entire way to Provo!

And finally Thanksgiving!
Carving the Turkey
This is not Raspberry Lemonade - this is Grandma's famous punch. Ashley and I can't have a Thanksgiving without Grandma's famous punch!


Annual story time at the Johnson Thanksgiving sleepover. Grandpa Chad always reads to the kids before they go to sleep. Then the adults get to party! :)

Baby update. . .
This is just a quick update on how the baby is doing. I am a little behind on this, but I thought I would share the information anyway. I had my first ultrasound about 4 weeks ago (see I am way behind!) It was so cool! The baby had a good heartbeat and was squirming and kicking like crazy. The baby didn’t stop moving and flipping around – I definitely have a James Johnson in my belly. We then had another doctor’s appointment on Monday for the 15 week check up. We got to hear the heartbeat and once again the nurse said the baby was actively moving! These doctor’s appointments start to make things seem a little more real. Also the fact that my clothes are getting a little tight, but I won’t go into that! The doctor told me in the next couple of weeks my belly should start to show and then I won’t be able to hide it anymore. That is exciting, but it also is still the stage where people are not going to know for sure if I am pregnant or not. That is always awkward. We will be finding out what we are having January 21st and I am so excited! I am kind of hoping for a girl, but for some reason I feel like I am having a boy. Maybe that is because there are so many boys in the Johnson family, I feel like I am sure to add to the bunch! I will keep everyone posted on my next ultrasound and I promise I won’t wait this long next time.
