Spring Time Pictures

Growing Like a Weed...

...a good weed, that is!

Jackson is such a smiler. Except when mommy grabs the camera. As soon as I put it down, he is smiley and cooing. Such is life.

Judd had to have some pics with his favorite hats. This is how he runs around the house, all day long: with a hat. It's always cocked to the left too. Guess that is his signature. Funny boy!

And I don't mean to brag, but Shane and I make some beautiful babies! Don't we? Wonder if he'd let me have a couple more of these little rascals??

Road Trip

We took a spur of the moment road trip to Olathe, to see our friends' the Roberts'. Partially to relax, spend much-needed time with them and to celebrate Shane's new job.

Judd loved playing with Tayton and all of toys! Everytime I turned around, he had a different get-up on. He needs a sister!

 

...and Miss Tayton. Growing up too fast.

Aunt Bonita

Aunt Bonita came to visit this week, from Maine. Judson had so so much fun with her! We all did!

First Smile...

Jackson had his first smile last week, right at 6 weeks. And mercy does it melt your heart. He is starting to find his voice and even tries to laugh. I forget how much fun it is to watch your baby change.

Mullets Rock

We broke down and gave Judson a hair cut. Shane had to be funny and cut a mullet first. (Don't worry, we didn't leave it that way  :)

Here is how long his hair was before...so cute!

He has learned to climb on the table. He likes to do this while mommy is off changing Jackson, or has left the room.

My Little Valentines

Taken of the boys on Valentine's Day...

I made this for my "Big Valentine". We have had a rough week, so I thought it would lift some spirits.

I don't know what was more challenging: the handprint of a 2 year old or a newborn...

Here is how the poem reads:

Daddy, take my hand in yours and you will plainly see, How very much I need you now to love and care for me. Then as my little hand grows, I will need you even more. Everything I do in life, I have never done before. Teach me to be kind and loving, sharing and forgiving. Show me through your acts of love the pure joy of living. The years will pass by quickly and one day I will be grown, I will pass what you have taught me onto children of my own. Keep this token with you and remember when we are apart, The special love between a child and daddy's heart.

To the greatest daddy.
Your loving sons,
Judson Hugh

Sick kids

We've had two sick little boys, but things are starting to turn for the better. And so is the weather...so maybe one has to do with the other?? I hope so. Maybe we'll have a healthy spring. It has sure been a rough winter with everybody being sick at one time or another.

And saving the best for last....

My boys.

Jackson Louis Johnson

He finally made it.  It was a hard journey for this little guy, but he is healthy and happy.

Please meet Jackson Louis.

Meeting Big Brother Judson and Gramma K:

Finally ready to go home:

Content at home:

Just had to post a few pics. Will post more with mommy and daddy soon.

Happy "HO HO HO"!

I know, I have been neglectful at posting updates this month. It has been very hectic with the holidays, work, preparing for a new arrival and decorating the baby's and Judson's new rooms. Plus, I have been so lethargic lately (...you could probably add a touch of laziness in there too). I have never been this pregnant before! At this time, with Judson, he would already been a month old.

Here is a series of pictures taken the past month. Hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas!





Hanging out with Scout in her kennel. I think she tried to escape him by hiding, but he evidently followed her in there. She gave me a look of terror when I found them. Judd is Scout's shadow...and she is very patient. Scout is truly a Saint.







Learning to wash our face...



...and blowing our nose...in the washcloth we used to wash our face. yuck.



...then laughing about it and splashing 1/2 the tub water onto the floor. He is pure 'boy' folks!



One of his favorite places to watch cartoons...in Scouts bed.



My little elf.



Eating a Christmas cookie.



He was very serious about this cookie.



Christmas morning...





A Dump Truck!!
