Meet the Teacher Day

Ian and I went in to meet his teacher today. School officially starts for him on September 6th. We filled out a typical questionnaire. It went something like this:
(Ian's answers are in red, my thoughts in purple)

Name: Ian Whitfield Johnson That is a nice, solid, manly name. Good job, Mom.
Birthday: January 5, 2002 What a horrible date. Can it be any closer to Christmas?
People in your Family: Mom and Me Ya, too bad there isn't a good looking Dad in the house that likes to mow the lawn and rub my back.
Favorite Food: Chicken Noodle Soup Are you kidding me? The last three times I've made chicken noodle soup, you wouldn't even eat one bite.
Favorite Color: Aquamarine.....no wait, put blue. Blue? Blue? What happened to red?
Favorite School Subject: Math Math huh? Weird. Well, that's good. I'm glad you like math since I won't be able to help you do it after the 1st grade.
Favorite sport: Soccer Ohhh yaaaa. That's my boy.
Favorite book: SuperFudge Wow. Good thing I read ahead and censored some of that book. If the news broke out about the big guy in red....I don't think it would be a favorite.
Favorite T.V. show: Hum. Let me think about that. Let's put, "I hate T.V.! T.V. is for dummies." No Mom.
What do you like to do: Ride bikes, swim, read. That's all you like to do? Well, at least you didn't say "watch T.V."
What you want to be when you grow up: An Artist That's funny. Last time we filled one of these out you wanted to be a lifeguard.

So now you know Ian.... and me, a little better. Fun Stuff!!!!

My Vacaction in SALT LAKE CITY!!!!

We had a fun vacation in Salt Lake City. We stayed with Aunt Kaila over night. We went out to dinner with Sophie and then Ian played in the fountain. We watched a movie at Kaila's house and ate lots of popcorn. In the morning we went to the zoo. We needed some good luck from the white alligator. (You can see his blue eye glowing in the picture....if you look close enough.) Ian attributes all the good luck he's had this summer to the "Ghost of the Bayou"! Then we went out to lunch with Kaila and then to the movies. We already decided that next year we would stay longer. Thanks Kai, for letting us come!

Camping!

We went camping last weekend. Ian had a good time playing in the river, sleeping in a tent, hiking and eating burned marshmellows. You know, the usual camp fun!


Fuimos a un campamento el fin de semana. Lo pasamos bien; jugando en el río, durmiendo en una carpa, ir de excursión, y por supuesto comiendo comida quemado en el fuego. Todo las cosas divertidas de un campamento.
