New Bro-in-law!!!

My little sis Rachie recently got engaged!  They have a tentative date of August 11th.  Rach will be finishing up nursing school at that time and me and Johns will hopefully have moved back to Utah.  Perfect timing!  Tanner Leishman is the new soon to be brother-in-law and is a great fit for Rachel.  I am so excited for them, CONGRATS you two love birds!

"Gma" Rupp came to visit...

My mom came into town for a week to help me out.  It was really fun!  And now that she is gone I realized how nice it is to have help.  Thanks mom!

Johns and I went on a date on Valentine's Day and my mom watched the chillins for us.  The Vicks really got into her movie (Sisterhood of the traveling pants) and turned around to find Aja painting herself with waterproof mascara.  It took a couple of days to get it completely out of her eyebrows and eyelashes.  Luckily she still has both eyes!

Wendy sent a booklet of stickers to Aja for Valentine's Day and she plastered herself with them.  Her and my mom had fun sticking these all over her for a couple hours.  Thanks Wendy!

My mom and I snuck out one day to go walk along the beach!  It was a nice to get out of our little condo and get some fresh beach air.  Johns was a sweetheart and stayed home with both kids while trying to fix our clogged kitchen sink.

The classic 1st week of a newborn!

The classic blue steel!  We laugh every time she pulls this Zoolander pose.  

Abby is pulling her own hair.  This must either be a thing all newborns do or just a thing Johnson babies do, because Aja did this to.  They scream out in pain and you go to check on them and they are ripping their own hair out!  And then they sadly look at you like "what are you doing to me?"

Loving the first bath...

Aja being all cute and soft...for about 5 mins and then the true sisterhood starts.  Then the fun of shoving the binky in their mouth...smothering hugs...trying to pick them up...and jumping on the bed while they are on it... begins.  All 2nd time moms know what I am talking about.  If you don't, consider yourself very lucky!  In all truth Aja is a really great sister and she really tries to be so soft and sweet with Abby!

Aja and her best friend in the ward decided the baby would love to play with their pez despensers.  And as you can tell she is lovin it.

Allow myself to introduce...myself. Abigail Elise Johnson

Abigail is here and lovin it. And she is adorably adorable. She was born on Monday Feb. 2 at 2:48 pm at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla California. Steph performed like a champ in the delivery (Johnson had a much less spectacular showing- he spent most of the time in the bathroom and then in the ER but thats a whole other ridiculous story) and is loving the fact that she is a now mommy of three kids. We decided that Abby and Aja look like little twiners as babies, but you can all be the judge of that. We love our new little addition to our family. And she's such a stinkin cutie!
