The Johnson Family ~ A year in review Part 1


 Jill turned 11

 She graduated from the 5th grade

 Jessie started Spring soccer

 We welcomed summer. Completed the 1st and 5th grade and Josh and the girls went to Six Flags for 3 days!

 Jenny came to visit and we lived in the pool

 Jennifer celebrated the last year of her 20s by having a mason jar BBQ

 Josh infused his own vodka

 He took me and the kids to buy our own fireworks. It was mine and Jaxons first time at a firework stand.

 We had another HOT summer. So everything was crafty in the house.

 Jaxon met his great grandma In July. She passed away Dec 16 2012. She said Jaxon was her blessing and reminded her of Josh when he was his age. She gave Jaxon a guitar that summer and he cherishes it.

 our mini road trip to Sapulpa, OK. When we visited great grandma. The kids and Josh relaxing in the hot tub after our 6 hour drive and meeting new family.

All 3 kids started school this year. New backpacks and lunch boxes. Shoes and supplies. Clothes and more clothes.
i am thankful everyday to be a part of my mixed family. Josh blessed me by having a family already. He has also blessed me by becoming a mom myself. We have the best son in the world. I love our crazy abnormal life. I like that its hectic although the stress gets to me. I appreciate the support I have from my family. I was able to become a stay at home this year. i have lost friends and gained new ones. I have developed a stronger back bone thanks to the girls moms. i have gained alot more admiration for the single moms of the world. Considering I am a single mom 2 weeks out of the month due to Josh's job. i try my best not to complain when things go haywire when he leaves. He took this job to provide a better life for his kids and so i could have the opportunity to stay home with them.

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

LOOK! LISTEN!

He looks so big sitting on this little truck. The little truck that plays the most annoying music in the house. I am a weird mom! I refuse to remove any batteries from any toy that we buy him or that he receives as a gift. They are musical and educational and he loves to dance to the songs. So I will not take that from him....but its still annoying nonetheless.... Anyway...I am so proud of how fast he learns to do everything and that he is as independent as his little self can be. He loves to listen to the 2 songs on this little truck. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Do You Know the Muffin Man are constantly playing. He is a big boy now. He isn't my little baby bundled up anymore......

Happy Birthday!

My little sister is 35 years young today!  Happy Happy Birthday to the best little sister I could ask for! Love you!
