Moving is HORRIBLE!!!!

We are moving this week and can i tell you what.....I hate packing everything up, just to unload and unpack it all again. We are really excited for our new apartment. We get ceiling fans and tile and it is closer to work and a king bed!!! We have a lot we are happy about but man it looks as though a tornado came through our tiny 600 sq. ft apartment!

Pictures of the actual apartment would scar you for life or just make you think i am not a good mormon mom, who can't keep her house clean. So i will spare you from that awful thought. Once we get settled in our new place, I will post pictures of our cute, new, clean home.

So the thought of this next week makes me want to not go to bed tonight because tomorrow is the start of our chaos. Monday= signing the lease and new king bed getting delivered plus work that night. Tuesday= building a bed frame for our new king bed plus work. Wednesday= set up gas for the new apartment and moving small things plus work. Thursday= Doctors appointment for Bentley plus packing the rest of our house plus work. Friday is getting everything ready for the uhaul and work. And Saturday is the BIG MOVE and then I have work that night :) Well now you know exactly what I am doing this week so if you ever lose sleep over what Cami and Jake might be doing right this very second..you now won't lose any sleep.

Finally Blogging Again!!!

So life has been crazy busy for the last 6 months, so I have not had time to keep up with my blog. So to catch everyone up on our lives....We had Bentley on March 27, 2011.

He is now 3 months old and as cute as can be!!! He was blessed on Sunday and we were so happy alot of our family and friends came out for it!!!





As for other new things, we are moving next week into a bigger apartment. We are so excited to have more space and Bentley will finally have his own room!!!! YEAH!! The only down fall to moving is that we have to pack everything up and then unpack it all again. But, Jake and I are always up for a new adventure and moving is our latest adventure. Also, Jake and I finally decided to upgrade to a King size bed!!! No more hitting each other in the middle of the night! Also this means if anyone wants to come and visit us now we have a full bed for you to sleep on and also your own bathroom.

The Holiday Season

This holiday season was for sure something to remember and where to begin, I do not know. We went up to Utah to spend Christmas with my Mom and Kyle and Meagan and Clark. It was so much fun being around family!!! My mom and Kyle invested in a ping pong table and little did they know that Jake and I brought our "A" game. I would say Kyle is the winner but Mom and Jake were very strong competitors. Clark was a little better than me but i did have quite a few good shots if I do say so myself. And Meagan...We NEED TO PRACTICE THAT SWING GIRL!!!!! Jake and I loved being around family and we feel so blessed for everything we received on Christmas.

The monday after Christmas we had to come back to Las Vegas, and our original plan was to stay in Vegas for the New Year. But since Courtney had her baby early, we decided it was the perfect time to go down to AZ to see him. We left New Years Eve to go to Az, and got there in time for the party. It was a wonderful surprise to be able to see ALL of my cousins!!!!! We had so much fun playing 007 in my grandparents yard and YES I (THE ONLY PREGNANT WOMEN OF THE BUNCH) WON!!!! I am proud to say that i can still hide behind a palm tree with my pregnant belly and not be seen :)




On New Years Day, we were able to go and see little baby Tanner, who by the way is the cutest little baby ever (well at least until Bentley gets here). I loved being able to hold him and can't wait till little baby Bentley and Tanner get to play together :)





We also were able to go to the Fiesta Bowl in the new stadium. It was the first time for Jake and I to go watch a game in that stadium. The game was kinda a blow out but it was really fun and I know Jake had the time of his life!!!! He just loves Football :)





We came home and the next day it snowed. It SNOWED IN VEGAS!!! I thought HELL was Freezing over :) It only lasted 3 hours, which was long enough for me :)



We had so much fun over the holidays and are happy to have such a wonderful family!!

I AM AN AUNT!!!!!!

Today my sister Courtney had her first little kid Tanner Justen Watkins. Her due date was February 16, 2011, but i guess Tanner just really wanted to be born before the new year. Courtney's water broke on Monday totally unexpectedly. She didn't realize that is what was happening and kinda blew it off. But after calling her doctor, she decided she needed to go the ER to just make sure she was ok. She was admitted that afternoon and battled with having contractions for 2 days straight ( she is a major trooper). They were trying to hold her from having the baby so they could make sure the baby's lungs were developed but this morning they decided they couldn't keep her any longer. She had a C-section this afternoon and little Tanner was born at 4lbs. 8 oz. 17.5 inches long. He will be in the ICU for a couple weeks but is breathing on his own. I am so excited to be an AUNT!!!! And I am so happy for Courtney and Justen :)

This Christmas Season

I just really love the Christmas season and I decided to make a list of everything I love about Christmas.

1. Decorating the Christmas Tree. (even though we aren't going to put ours up this year...)

2. My new appreciation for Christmas Music ( I think Bentley really likes it too because whenever i play Christmas music he seems to start moving around.)

3. Driving around to all the neighborhoods and seeing all the homes covered from head to toe in Christmas Lights.

4. Clients who usually are the most annoying stick-in-the-mud people, actually coming in with a smile on their face :)

5. The self-less acts of buying presents for others to small acts of service for those in need.

6. The joy of Family ( I am especially grateful for my husband and the wonderful kind things he does for me)

7. The yummy goodies that somehow seem to magically appear on your door step.

8. Seeing children's faces on Christmas morning when they see all their amazing new things.

9. The appreciation and compassion we have for others through the holiday season.

10. Jesus Christ. For his sacrifices and his example.

I could go on and on because Christmas is really an amazing holiday and one of the most important all year. But this Christmas I am going to focus on #10 on my list. We were at ward choir and the director stopped us for a second and said that we needed to really feel the words we were singing. That just reminded me that usually I go through the motions around Christmas time but not remembering the true meaning of why we celebrate Christmas. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so glad each year we have a holiday to truly remember Him.

It's a BOY!!!!!!!!

We went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago to find out the gender of our baby!!!! We were so excited to find out the gender because we hated calling the baby "It". The day before we went to the doctor, Jakes brother called us to tell us they were having a girl instead of a boy. Their doctor had messed up the gender and for like almost 20 weeks or so they planned on bringing a little boy into their family when in reality it was actually a girl. This totally freaked me out cause I totally didn't think doctors really messed up on baby's genders anymore with the amazing technology we have now. So when we went in for the ultrasound, I asked the lady to please make sure for us that the gender is correct. She kinda looked at me funny thinking i had no faith in her abilities whatsoever. The lady went to go and find the gender and this is what we saw....



Our son was not shy about anything, he had his little legs all spread open and flaunting his "stuff". I was happy because that put my mind to rest about not knowing the exact gender and Jake was next to me jumping for joy that he was getting a little son.

We are so excited to bring BENTLEY CAGE JOHANSON into this world. We already love him so much and i know Jake can't wait to teach him how to throw a football. He has been one of the many blessings we have already received in our marriage and can't wait for many wonderful experiences with him in the future. He is due April 2, 2011 and even though it seems so far away , I know it will come sooner than i think. We love you Bentley.

Since my blog was stupid and I had to start over I guess I will start from the beginning. It all started in the summer of 2008. I was living at King Henry in Provo, Ut when Jake moved into my ward. I didn’t really want anything to do with him cause I knew a friend kinda thought he was cute and he wasn’t really my type. Come to find out, he really liked me a lot but thought I was too cute to not have a boyfriend. After a few weeks of getting to know each other, Jake started to turn on the moves, especially when he realized i didn’t have a boyfriend.



We dated for a month and then broke up because I had too many plans that didn’t include him in the picture. It only took us a couple of weeks to figure out that we were really meant to be together. We ended up dating for another 3 months.





And on December 12th, 2008, Jake asked for my hand in marriage. I was so excited and knew i was marrying my best friend. We were engaged for 5 months (kinda long for Mormon standards), but were married in the Mesa, Az Temple on May 2, 2009.




Since then life has gone so fast i don’t know where to begin. We moved to Las Vegas, NV so Jake could finish up school and I could get a good job cutting hair. The first year of marriage we were lucky enough to travel quite a bit and experience a lot of new things for the first time.

We went to San Diego on our Honeymoon,




we got to go to New York for the US Open for tennis and see all the amazing sights,





and we were able to go on a cruise to the Western Caribbean.



On the cruise, we were able to go to Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico.







We had a blast on our cruise and are planning to take another one in the future. On our one year anniversary, we decided to be kids again and go to Disneyland. We had an amazing fun filled day there and then spent the rest of the weekend in Huntington Beach.






About 2 months after our year anniversary, we decided that we would start praying for an answer about a family. We both felt like we wanted an addition to our family but we didn’t think it would have happened as fast as it did. We knew quite a few people trying for kids and some it took 6 months to get pregnant and some a year, so we never thought it would happen the first time we tried. :) I guess that was our concrete answer from Heavenly Father. We are so excited to bring a new life into this earth. I am now 23 weeks along and so happy i am half way done with being pregnant. Now i can start counting down.

I have finally caught blogger up to speed on the last 2 years. I know i am the worst blogger of all times but i am going to start a new commitment to blog more frequently.
