Cutest Ring Bearer Ever (ok, maybe I'm a bit biased.)

 Sam's good friend since Jr. High, Chris, got married this last weekend. His beautiful bride, Kelly, is someone I have had the pleasure being in a bible study with this last year. They are a couple that Sam and I are so thankful to have in our lives. 
Sam was a groomsmen and Søren was the ring bearer. I never thought I could be so proud of a little guy walking down the aisle. After throwing the ring pillow to the ground, Søren marched right down the aisle with great pride. Then he turned around and marched right back down. :)

Easy Dumper





     One of our favorite things to do as kids in the Johnson household was to go for rides in the Easy Dumper. We couldn't wait to continue the tradition and take Søren for his first ride. We were a little unsure of Paul's driving, so I hopped in too. (just kidding Paul)

Cincinnati

>
Our summer is off to a great start here in the midwest. We spent Memorial weekend in Connecticut to celebrate my grandma's (mor-mor) 90th brithday. We seem to be filling each day quite nicely with reading, playing outside, yard work, swimming in the pool, eating lots of great food, birthday's, ladder golf, catching up with family and chasing Soren around. Here are a few pictures from the last two weeks.


         All the Larsen great grand children. 
The only way Søren would sit was if he was in the booster seat. 





My parents got infected with the "Mad Cow."

Søren loved "mooing" at them. 


                    He loves the swing.
