ITS A BOY!

 
My little sister, Jennifer is pregnant! We all found out in April and could not wait to find out the sex of the baby!
 
 
We started hitting up Pintrest pretty hard in the month of June! She wanted to have a gender reveal party and incorporate her favorite colors! Aqua, Dark Purple and Yellow were the colors of choice and we had to get busy! The party was July 26!


 
Another idea I have already found is painting the inside of mason jars. Pour enough paint in the bottom of jars and roll it around covering the sides and then on a piece of foil I turned them upside down to coat the whole jar evenly. This was a perfect and very cheap décor to add flowers in bright summer colors while also keeping her color theme in mind.

 
I already have a chalkboard square on my back door so that was used to hold the voting! We printed out boy silhouettes and girl silhouettes and had all the guest write their name across the front. It will be a cute page in her scrap book! That way one day her little boy will see how many people thought he should have been a girl! :) Or he will see how much fun we had in guessing! 

 
Kept it simple on the food. Pinwheels and fruit salad!!

 
We had a local bakery do the cake. 1/2 sheet. We took a sealed envelope with her sono stating he was a boy and they did their magic. Using all her colors as well!

 
Some of the family/friends gathering in to see her cut the cake. That is the best thing about this kind of party, everyone shares in the anticipation and we all find out together! Way more personal than making a phone call! Or reading about it on Facebook!


 
Her step-son was in town to attend the party and they cut the cake together. (Secret: Her husband knew what they were having since the day of the sono 2 days before the party. I don't see how he kept it in for those loooong 2 days!)

 
Blue cake = BOY!! Everyone was happy. (even the folks that voted for a girl!)

 
Happy Happy Happy parents to be!

 
17 to 15! Close numbers in the voting!!
 
Jennifer and Tim:
The party was a great success and wouldn't have been possible without you guys expecting a great bundle of joy into this crazy world. My promise to you guys is that I am a phone call away. Newborns are great, but I know how exhausting that journey is. Call me if y'all need to sleep, have your dishes washed, laundry done or dinner cooked! My promise to my nephew is that I will be the best Aunt he will ever have. I will spoil him, love him, and let him know what great, wonderful, wild and crazy parents he has! He already holds a very special place in my heart!
Love you guys!! And again CONGRATS on what is the best journey this side of life!!

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

Johnson Family 2013 ~ Year Review Part 1

   This has been a great year of change, growth and accomplishments. Jaxon turned 5 this year and started Pre-K. Jessie is in the 3rd grade and she turned 9 this year. Jill turned 12 and is greatly enjoying the 7th grade. Him and Jessie love doing crafts at the table. Paint, color, draw, cut and paste! They are defiantly my busy bodies!    This was the year for wild and wacky hair. Jessie went purple at the beginning of Jan. They chose crazy hair as a reward for staying on the A or A/B Honor Roll. They are now back to their original colors and, even though the wacky colors were fun and exciting, I am glad they are back to their roots :)    I had spent hours in 2012 on Pintrest. And one of my Resolutions were to start putting my pins to use! I have the girls bookshelf a makeover. And even pinned my own work on Pintrest!    I became "public" about my Alopecia. Only family and very few friends knew of my new condition. And once ...
