Photos of the kids...

So, we went out on Monday and got the kids' pictures taken. Overall, we were pleased with what we got. Daxton is at that lovely stage where when you tell him to, "smile," he thinks about it too hard and it comes out looking very strange and forced.

Merry Christmas and Happy it's a New Year!

My apologies for the premature Valentine motif. The truth is, when I'm pregnant, I like to pretend that time is moving faster than it really is, cause it keeps me sane, so right now I'm pretending like it's practically February already, and that April is right around the corner!

Well, we're back. We spent three weeks away from home enjoying time with family over the holidays. Ben and I were able to leave the kids with Nana while we flew with my family to Hawaii for a week, and I'd tell you all about it, but then I'd start to cry because it would remind me that it's below zero outside, and I still have a few months of freezing ahead. Sooo, I'll tell you all about how wonderful Hawaii was when it's warm, say in June, and then it won't be so hard to think about. After we returned from Hawaii, we spent a fun-filled week with Ben's family at the cabin in Midway. Fortunately, Santa found us there, and the kids came away with quite a spread, definitely more so than if we would have stayed in Michigan for Christmas! Our heartfelt thanks to both families for a wonderful Christmas this year!

Now that we're home, we're all too happy to see 2009 leave and 2010 begin. We are hoping for a better year this year with the promise of more stability on the horizon. So, here's to 2010!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACY NOEL JOHNSON!!!!!

I can't believe my little girl is 2! We had a little party (VERY little!) yesterday to celebrate Jacy turning 2 years old. She had a great time blowing out her candles, singing to herself, and opening up her presents. We're so glad to have Jacy in our family!

News......

So, I'm not even sure which kid this ultrasound picture is of. In any event, the news is that we are expecting another baby, due on April 24th, and the most exciting part is that yesterday, we found out that it is a BOY!!!!! We are very excited and looking forward to the birth of our third baby Johnson!

Happy Halloween and other October events...

It has been a quite a month! Pictures include: Dax and Ben camping, Ben's last flight as a pilot for Mesaba Airlines, and possibly the last flight of his career as a commercial airline pilot, kids in Halloween costumes (pilot and flight attendant).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAXTON MORRIS JOHNSON!

I can't believe my baby boy is four years old! We had a little party with two of Daxton's best friends, Sarah and Ben. We were going to have a Diego party, but Mom was in a time crunch, and the only pinata's they had at Wal-Mart were transformers, which was Daxton's second party theme choice, so we went with that. It was a great party, and Daxton was so cute. Honestly.....when he said the prayer on the food and thanked Heavenly Father that "his Mom could make him a transformer's cake," I teared up. What a sweet boy we have been blessed with. We love him all to bits and pieces! Happy Birthday Dax!

Old Navy Weekly Score!

If you're not familiar with the website www.oldnavyweekly.com, then you probably wouldn't appreciate this post. Ben and I were introduced to this website about a month and a half ago, and we've been trying since then to score some coupons off of it. Last week marked our sixth attempt at this, and we were finally able to secure two 50$ off of 100$ purchase coupons!! Hence, we went on an Old Navy shopping spree, and I had to take a picture to show off some of the adorable things we got! And, of course, we had to have a "try on" session when we got home, which the kids hated, and I enjoyed much more than I should have. We decided to try on all of the winter clothes (boo!) at the same time to make sure we are prepared for our first midwestern winter (boo!). The kids got excited at least.
