High School Musical

This past week, on Friday, I took Malorie to Idaho Falls to High School Musical. It was so fun. For her birthday, I gave her a jogging suit with High School Musical stuff on it and then a ticket to the show. Thursday, the night before, we watched 1 and 2 so we could remember what had happened and then went to the movie Friday. It was so good and the place was packed with a ton of kids and Moms. We really enjoyed it. Afterwards we went to Chuck-a-rama and ate a ton of food. That's where she wanted to go. It was a fun experience for both of us. She keeps me young.

Great Weekend

This past weekend was quite busy, but a great one.

Heather , Koby, and Lizzie came up on Friday night. Lindsay and Camri were at our house also to spend the night because Rob had gone to motorcycle school in Twin Falls. On Saturday morning we all went to Malorie's baptism and then to a yummy dinner at the church. All the Johnson's, except Wayne and Dora were there. And, all the Poulsen's except David. The three of them are serving missions so that is a good excuse to not be there. We ate, took pictures and visited for quite awhile. Here are two pictures...one of the Poulsen family and one of the Poulsen grandchildren.
That evening we had a baby shower at Tif's for Heather and Lizzie. It was really fun and there were alot there to help share in this little miracle of ours. Thanks everyone for coming.

On Sunday, I had planned dinner for all my family because I thought Malorie was getting confirmed that day, but we did that on Saturday as well. But, it was okay. They all still came and we had an enjoyable afternoon visiting, playing games, and stuffing ourselves with lots of food. Christopher said there wasn't enough, but we have been eating leftovers for 2 days. Crazy kid! It was a very nice weekend and it was so fun to have all the family together just relaxing and enjoying each other. Thanks to all of you. I love you very much and couldn't ask for a better family

Jaran Has Entered the MTC

Just a short blog to let everyone know that Jaran entered the MTC yesterday.
It felt like I had just let another son go on a mission. I am such a boob.
Everyone remember him in your prayers because that has got to be one of the toughest things that these young men do. I really admire and respect all who serve a mission. Thank heavens David only has 6 1/2 months left. Yahoo!!!! Have a great week.

A fun, fast trip

On Saturday, John and I took off for Heather and Koby's. He hadn't seen the baby yet, so we went down for a quick trip. We didn't get there until about noon. And, little Lizzie was as cute as ever. We held and held her. Poor Koby, I felt bad for him because I kind of hogged her for the two days. We went to lunch with Debra, the birthmother and the grandmother and it was okay. It was nice to meet them and to see what a special person Debra is. I know that Lizzie was meant to be a part of our family and I am so grateful for her and her sweet little spirit. She has changed a lot and is getting bigger. Over the weekend, everyone wanted to see her. Tif's family went to Salt Lake to visit the Johnson's on their mission and to go to conference. So, they stopped by on Friday so Brett, Conner, and Malorie could see her. We showed up on Saturday and then Chrisper and Court came for dinner on Sunday on their way home from their summer sales. That was the first time they had seen her and all of us after a long summer being gone. In the afternoon, Jaimie called. They had been in Utah for the weekend visiting her family. So, they came around thru Logan to see her also. Only problem was that Jacie wanted to hold her the whole time and not let her Mom and Dad hold her. Jacie is definately a little Mommy like Kallie and they love their new little cousin Elizabeth. It was a fun weekend and it was fun to all visit the Bennett's. Thanks Pooh and Koby for letting us all see and hold that little angel. See you in a few days.

2. Mention rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same.
5. Leave a comment to let them know.I have to admit this was kind of hard for me. Not that I don't have quirks, but it's hard to realize them because I just do them and don't notice when I do.

1.http://poulsenpics.blogspot.com/
Okay Court, here goes nothing!
I know nothing about tagging, so don't ever tag me again. Ha Ha!!
Six Quirks about me are:
1.I'm afraid if I do anything on the computer I will ruin everything. I'm learning though.
2.I hate shoes!! I wish I could go barefoot all the time.
3.I like to have my house cleaned totally before I go to bed at night. I'm getting better at leaving things a mess though.
4.I hate snakes. I can't even stand to look at a picture of them or see them on TV.
5.I love to swing. I could swing everyday if I had a swing to swing in.
6.I have a bad habit of tapping my fingernails on the table, wall, or whatever when I'm thinking or just bored.
This was hard for me too. You don't think about the things you do without thinking about them.
Crazy.
I tag Lindsay, Brittany, Angie, Marcy, Nichole and Mandy.
