First day of KINDERGARDEN!

OH MY GOSH!  MY TEENY TINY 7lb 4oz INFANT IS IN SCHOOL? 
 haha
No but really where has the time gone?
  She is having a wonderful time and I am SO happy for her!  The first day was crazy!  We had some serious flooding in our area which blocked off lots of streets around my house.  So trying to find a way to get there was tricky is itself!  Then our van decided to crap out on us and we made arrangemnts to borrow my moms van and that morning my dads car wouldn't start. YIKES!  So he had to take my moms van.  Luckily Brit was able to come get us!!!  YAY!  While we were outside waiting to get picked up my phone camera (which I had used the night before) wouldn't work!  )= 
When Brit showed up I told her and she had forgotten her phone at home haha!
So after we picked Ivy up I went to the least rainy area and snapped a couple photos (=
And here they are!
ENJOY!!!

 She is so grown up!
 LOVE HER BACKPACK!!!! (=
 

Washimgton Utah fair

Ivy and I went to work with David a couple of weekends ago.  He drives to Cedar City everyday and does deliveries in towns along the way.  He noticed a fair near St. George one day on his route so we decided it would be fun to go with him to work (Saturdays are his "short" days) and after his deliveries stop by and check out the fair. 
It turned out to be very fun!  And it didn't cost anything to get in!!!  $3 for parking, so that's not bad at all.  They had lots of fun things to do for kids!  Ivy had a BLAST!
Ivy mostly enjoyed the rides of course (=
 So cute! 
 I just adore her bright SMILE!



 Never mind my leopard print bra... :/

 She loved the slide with Daddy!! She is such a GIRL!  She screamed on the last bump haha!
 Sometimes she thinks shes a Tom boy though (;
 David did really well on this speed shooting thing! 
 4-H had pony rides, SO FUN!
 They also had a little petting zoo
 mini horse!
 When we were in Cedar before heading to the fair.  Nice weather!  Sooooo relaxing!
 NO HANDS!!!
 HIIII MOMMY AND DADDY!!!!

David's FIRST Father's Day!!!

This was David's first Daddy's day!!!  He's already a PRO!!!  (= 
 I wanted to get him some super cheesey dad merch (=
WE LOVE YOU DAVID!!!  I got him a card from me, one from Ivy and one from Baby Marsh (=

July 4th!

I worked the night of the 4th so we did festive things in the earlier part of the day and then my family and a friend came to our house to swim and eat.  Ivy loooves running 5k's she has done a lot!  There was one in the early morning and we went and dropped Ivy off to my fam....then we decided to stay and be cheer leaders...plus they had breakfast after the run (;
After that we decided to go to the Gilcrease Orchard!  I wanted peaches!  I didn't get far before I was tired again!  BOO! 
We had a good day!  I was sad I had to leave by 3 )=
The whole night I kept hearing fireworks and running outside to see them but nothing!  haha Some dunky random ones here and there... I saw lots on the way home at like 11pm haha Just random ones people where doing from there yards....not too cool haha


 I missed some adventure, apparently some palms trees at our condo complex caught fire YIKES! 
 
HAPPY 4TH!!!  THANKS TO ALL THE SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN!!!

BABY BOY MARSH!

On June 5th we went to find out the gender of Baby Marsh!!!  I was 16 or 17 weeks.  I had a gut feeling it was a girl, you know Mommy's always really know what it is!  I'm very in touch with my body HAHAHA.  NOT!  MOMMY WAS WRONG!  Its a BOOOOOY!  (=
The second Whitnie (a friend who owns My Baby Bump Imaging) said she knew what it was she just wanted to find a btter angle I knew it was a BOY!!! (= hehe 
 She gave us this suuuuuper cute candy bar! 
 Our family will be even now!  2 boys, 2 girls!!! (=
I had to get over the shock of me being wrong!  HAHA!  But I was very very excited!  The second we left I wanted to go shopping!  I didn't buy TOO much (;
BOY OH BOY!
 


PUPPY!

David LOOOVES dogs!  I do too, within reason! I told him the only way is if he got me in a rare mood where i'd get one on a whim.  Well, it didn't take me long after we were married to get into a awww  I want a doggie mood.  Haha!  I basically convinced HIM to get one!  I wanted to go to the no kill animal shelter.  He found someone selling puppies on Craigslist.  David wanted a puppy, I prob would have preferred an older dog...less chewing and potty training but I get why he wanted a puppy.  They are super cute, fun and trainable!!!  I picked the one out that I wanted.  David wanted one of the others, a cute lighter colored one but I thought she was too puppy-like.  She kept chewing on the sandal!  She was cute though!!!  There mommy was full Dingo!  And the daddy was the neighbors dog German shepherd/Rottweiler/ mix who had jumped over the HUGE brick wall to make puppies with the Dingo mommy!  HAHA!

Right after we picked him out we went to Petsmart!!!  They had a cool coupon deal and we bought where we spent $20 and got "free" food, a bath and blow dry and some great discounts on other things.  We brought the doggie to get a bath and they asked his name,  we were thinking about the name Bear because he looked like a little bear cub!!!  She put him in as Bear and said we can go change it later, they just him in the system.

We did some shopping while we were waiting for him and after about a half hour out of nowhere I said, "DAVID!  Does Bear have the pee thing on his belly?....AHH!  Bear is a GIRL!"
HAHA!  We felt like IDIOTS!  We have both had dogs! We know how to tell the difference!  What the heck!  I think we just heard his previous owner say him so we just went with it hahaha!!  I got VERY excited!  And was thinking yay now I can get the pink collar! 

We went to pick up "bear" and the girl who worked there was like, umm you might want to change Bear's name.....Immediately I  was like I know!  We are retards!  We know she is a girls!!! hahaha!
They brought her out with little bows in her hair!! haha it was SO cute!  She was SUPER FLUFFY after her bath!!! (=   And very soft! 

 We took her home and later Brit dropped Ivy off and we surprised Ivy!!!  She was soooo excited!!!!

We changed her name to Daisy!!!!
 

Now, since then....I have gone back and forth about our decision to get this dog....im NOT a fan of the chewing lol and she is so rough with Ivy.....and vice Here is a pic of Davids ear.  She didn't even bite her tooth more like sliced his ear open!  Ahh!  I am trying to be her friend, ;ast week I painted her nails pink!!!  I keep her bathed so she isn't too doggie smelling and maybe I'll actually pet her.  And last night we decided to let her sleep in the living room without the child gate (that's she can now jump over).  We even put her bed in our room and she did GREAT!!!  Just had problems this morning wanting to chew everything!  But I think we are becoming better friends now! (=

Johnson family reunion (=

David and I had hoped to go to his Mom's side family reunion.  We weren't sure if we'd be able to take the time off because it hadn't been very long since our wedding/honeymoon so we thought we might be pushin it.  David started a new job so we decided we wouldn't make it. Darn!  It was supposed to be a camping trip but I guess the area had a fire so they did it near by in New Mexico where a couple of his Mom's siblings live.  A day or 2 into the reunion David called on the way home from work and said, "GUESS WHAT!?!  I'm off tomorrow!  Lets drive to New Mexico!"  I think he was shocked at my response, "ok!"  I think he paused for a sec like....really?  I said I would start packing and we would leave right when he got home!  We arranged for my sis Brennan to watch our puppy and we went to pick up my check at work and them we were off!  In David's super old car with NO A/C!  haha  Go us for being spontaneous!!!
 It took us about 12 hours to get to Albuquerque but it wasn't too bad a t all!  Potty breaks were frequent but easy because it wasn't a busy highway and it was dark so we'd just pull to the the side of the road lol (=  I think David was shocked at the fact that I was so ok with peeing on the side of the road haha but I just thought of it like hey, no having to exit the highway, no digging around looking for your shoes, no dirty gas station potty's!  Its a win win! (=
We ended up being able to stay for 2 or 3 days!!!  And his family was AWESOME and pitched in for gas because had just gotten a new job.  SoOoOo sweet!  We had tons of fun meeting everyone!!!  We spent time playing games, swimming, relaxing and getting to know each other.  Ivy had an AWESOME time! On our last night she actually cried because she didn't want to leave!  She thought she'd never get to see her new cousins again.  lol  We where staying at David's Aunt's house but everyone spent the days at his Uncles house.  It was getting very late and in the last night David brought us to his Aunt's house for bad and he was headed back to his Uncles house to play board games.   Ivy was so SO so upset that we decided to let Ivy go back with David so she could camp out on the living room floor with the kids. 
The next morning before we left we got everyone together for a big family picture.  Everyone knows how fun that can be haha (=  They turned out nice and a sweet man at the park was willing to take the shot for us! (=

One of Ivy's new fav cousins, Cameron!!!
I'm not sure what was happening here... I think he tried to hold my belly and I pushed his hand away like nooo! Not a nasty maternity shot!   They weird me out!  haha
