R.I.P. Max Walter Johnson

Well Crap! Max died! I tried so hard to keep him alive. I know he was sick when we bought him, because he didn't eat for a week. I did well for about two weeks, and then it just went downhill fast for the lil guy. Ari asks for him every day. I told her that he went to go see his friends (in heaven). I actually cried hard when Brad flushed him down the toilet. I know, it surprised me too; okay not really. I cry at everything. R.I.P lil guy. Sorry, I tried!

Breaking Dawn continued...

Me, April, and Lauren patiently waiting in line for book.
I guess there were some drunk people out in the parking lot that got out of hand, so the police had to come. They decided that it would be funny to come in and join the party. Right before midnight, they escorted the books to the front of the store. It was really funny; guess you had to be there. :)
YEAH!! I've already finished the book, and I loved it!
We went to IHOP afterwards to get drinks and pancakes. We didn't get home until around 2am. Our husbands and children were fast asleep, while the mommies partied until the wee hours. We really know how to party!
Borders gave everyone these mini gift bags that included vampire teeth. Hello? Real vampires don't have fangs! Just venom coated, razor sharp teeth! :) Lauren cracked me up. I didn't know what she was doing in the photo until afterwards. ...Also, one of those you had to be there moments. Anyway, it was a fun night. Our other friends were suppose to be there, but it was temple night and they all went to the temple. Hello? Where are their priorities? :)

Breaking Dawn Release Party!

Okay, so last October I fell in LOVE with the Twilight Series. Thanks to my sister's Pania and Afton for introducing them to me! Anyway, I tried for two months to get my friend April to read them. She made fun of me for so long, but finally succumbed. Then we tried to make her sister Lauren read them, but she refused. She finally read them last month, as well as our other friend Monica. I was so happy to have other crazy Moms feel the same way I do about these books. We decided that we were going to go to the midnight release party for the new book. We made t-shirts and drove our husbands crazy for days. Here are some pictures of the event.

From L to R: Monica, April, Me, and, and Lauren. We met at my place to take pictures and then departed to grand event! By the way, the back of Monica's shirt says, 'Did I mention my husband and kids'. Very cute.
Ariana and Mommy
In the parking lot, before we went in, we decided that if the party was lame we were still going to make it fun. There surprisinly tons of people there. It still might have been weird, considering the people there, but we had so much fun. I loved every minute of it.
Ummm.... that's suppose to be Rosalie on the far left, and then these guys... well their t-shirts say it all. They were actually pretty funny.
Lauren won the t-shirt contest! Her shirt said, 'Save a Volvo, Ride Edward Cullen'. Nasty girl! :)

Meet Max!

Ariana got her first pet a couple of weeks ago. He is a beautiful beta fish named Max. She named him after one of her favorite shows 'Max & Ruby'. I didn't want to introduce him earlier, because he wouldn't eat for a week! I didn't want to post, 'Hey meet Max', and then post 'R.I.P.'. Anyway, we love him, and he's such a good fish. :)

I swear this fish is a genius. I am 100% positive Max winked at me the other day. I was talking to him, trying to prove to Brad that he should start trying to have a relationship with this fish, when BAM he winked! Kid you not! Brad could care less about the fish. I think he's jealous.

Uggghh! I LOVE this picture. So cute!

Fireworks!

I'm TOTALLY making up for not posting for a month. Here are some of our awesome firworks. Okay, they weren't that great. I think we got ripped off. We had more smoke bombs than anthing else. But we had a good laugh. My favorite picture is the one Brad took of me swirling the sparklers. Pretty neat! :)

4th of July

I know this is a little late, but aww well. We spent 4th of July with our friends Jason, Keena, and Atticus. We spent the day swimming, eating, and sweating! It was so humid! I hate feeling damp all the time. It was a lot of fun though, so it was worth it.

Ariana and Atticus

Ari did not like the loud noises that the fireworks made. She had her hands over her ears the entire night.

Ariana's 3rd Haircut!

After months of trying to convince Brad that Ari desperately needed a haircut, he finally caved in and agreed. Yeeshh, it was about time! It's rather sad how soft he is about his baby girl. Anyway, here are a few pics that I promised I would post, but haven't gotten around to it. Sorry Mum!

Before: Mysterious Ari

Before: Diva Ari!

At the salon, sitting on Daddy's lap.

After: She wouldn't look into the camera, so I couldn't get a cute shot. I love her hair this length. Daddy likes it too.
