We finally got Anna to and all of the kids to sit still for a picture.  There were no tears shed until a dog came to visit us.  

 Brandon William Johansen finally has a name.  

He was born Nov 2 2012 and weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces.

 The children were very excited to meet him.  Garrett was ready to leave about 2 seconds after arriving to meet his new brother.  He wanted to play at Grammies house.  :)

 Kaylee could not get enough holding time.  She loves taking care of him. 

 Brent and I were both excited that Brandon has lots of black hair.  

 Drew was thrilled to have a new boy cousin.

 Garrett decided to enjoy the moment and hold the new baby. 

Brandon seems a little nervous around Anna.  We are not sure why;)  

She is learning the concept of touching softly and not pulling hair.  

 We had wonderful visitors that brought presents, balloons and flowers.  

 He is a good mixture of Brent and Anna

 He is very easy to satisfy and sleeps alot.

 Anna thought the hospital room had lots of fun things to explore.  

 Love the hair

 The girls have been the most attentive. 

 We are thrilled Grammie and Grampes are here. 

Kaylee could not wait to feed him a bottle.

1st day of 3rd grade.  He has a locker and he loves his teacher and school.  He said the food is awesome there.  

Kaylee loves 1st grade.  She is excited to be with a new teacher and friends.  

 Garrett loved the idea of school until he started.  He wasn't a fan of mom leaving him there, but now he is enjoying it and is making friends.  

 Anna plays with Garrett in the morning and the sleeps in the afternoon while he is gone.  She thinks school is wonderful it is so quite for her nap.  

Her personality has exploded.  She is amazingly fast with all of her adventures.  I can't quite get there in time so I just started taking pictures of what she has done.  She eats, tears up and dumps everything.  She is so dirty by the end of the day and usually requries 2 or 3 clothes changes for the day.  She is very quiet and sneaky but she makes us really laugh.  

Anna turns 1

She likes to play peek a boo

And be silly

And eat her fingers!!!

Everyone tells us that Anna looks and acts like Garrett. She is very friendly to others and a little silly. It is fun to see her personality coming out. After wearing a helmet for several months she will not let me put bows in her hair. Too bad.

Garrett and Brent love to play together. Brent is very kind.

Kaylee had a Fancy Nancy party at school. She loved the day and loves her teacher.

Garrett and I have felt sick the last few days. He is finally feeling better.

This is Helaman and Cody after a band concert.

The kids were in the nativity at church. Garrett was a donkey and it was so funny.
