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.

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

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.

Brunch!

Jaxon was sick this week. Which meant some of the following: Sleepless nights for both of us. Cranky mood swings for both of us. Alot of medicine consumed by him. Not wanting to eat, again him ( i eat all the time!) Wanting to be held but not wanting to be touched, mostly all him but sometimes me (on the days i didn't get to shower :) Nothing seems to go right when you are sick. Then one of the mornings he woke up at 4am he had gone back to sleep about 7am and woke up again at 11am! HOORAY! I remember saying when I too woke up! We both got some sleep that day! Him still not being in the mood for anything to eat..i whipped up some pancakes for brunch and he ate 1 1/2! I was excited! Until that afternoon when another cranky mood swing set in and he didn't want to take a nap. Therefore I didn't get to take a nap. Plus we had both not gone anywhere for 3 days and I think we were getting a little stir crazy. Just my guess. Because as soon as daddy got home we hopped in the car....
