Santa Claus

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:26:00 +0000

Yesterday we went to see Santa Claus. A friend of mine suggested we go to Bass Pro Shop because there you can get your picture made free with Santa. It was an ordeal to get there and then we had a little wait but we finally got our picture made! Bailey couldn't wait to see him and ran right up to him. When Jesse got closer he started crying and said he didn't want to go. So I said ok. But Santa gave him some candy which lured Jesse in. Santa started sticking candy in his pockets and so when Jesse turned around so Santa could put some in his back pocket, Santa looked up and they snapped the picture! Sneaky Santa!

2 months old

Jack was two months old yesterday. He is getting to be so fun. He smiles at us all the time! He has even laughed out loud a couple of times! He weighs 11 lbs. 6 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. He's becoming a big boy! Bailey continues to dote on him all the time! And Jesse is either telling us that Jack "pooped A LOT!" or "Jack's crying!" Both are trying to be so helpful!

First Black Eye

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:15:00 +0000

Jesse has a black eye. Not sure how he got it but we're sure it won't be his last! He is definitely all boy - jumping off every piece of furniture in the house! But Bailey is always right there with him!

Is Santa ripping me off?

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 03:49:00 +0000

I have been at the mall (two different malls) a couple of times with the kids and I thought I might get their pictured made with Santa but no. Not because the kids were scared but because I think Santa is trying to rip me off! At one mall it cost $17.95 (for only 2 pictures) to have your picture made and at another mall it cost $22.95! And those were the cheap prices! I could spend as much as $50! What?! I mean come on. Really? I know it's been a long time since I went to see Santa Claus but I couldn't believe the prices. Is it just me or is this a little bit ridiculous? Is it just because we live in a big city? Are other places just as expensive? I don't mind spending money, ask anybody, I am not a cheapskate but this just seems a bit much. I mean he better be the REAL Santa Claus at those prices!

Christmas

The kids looked so cute yesterday dressed up in their Christmas clothes. Jesse and Jack had matching hats which I didn't get a picture. They looked like little men. Really cute!

Jack Smiles!

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 00:44:00 +0000

Jack has been smiling for a couple of weeks but this is the first time I've caught it on camera. He is so cute!

Bailey and Jesse love to be near Jack. They did ok for a few minutes laying with him until Jesse kicked him in the head! Then the fun was over. Poor Jack with these two around he never has a moments peace.

Gingerbread Train

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:51:00 +0000

Tonight we made a ginger bread train. We picked a train this year because Jesse is really into trains especially Thomas the Train. We had a great time decorating the train. I don't think we would win any contests with it but we had fun. We had a few insights into our children's personality tonight - Jesse put all the white candy on then he put on all the green candy. Bailey put on all the purple candy (just because that's her favorite color) but after that everything was just random. But then she quickly pointed out to Jesse that he wasn't doing it right! I think she wanted it to look like the picture and I a sure you it looked nothing like the picture! This was our second time to do a gingerbread something so I guess it's starting to become a tradition! Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

5 weeks

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:44:00 +0000

Today Jack is 5 weeks old. We took him to the doctor on Friday and he weighs 9lbs . 6oz. and is 20 3/4 in long. He isn't doing as well at night as we was few weeks ago. A few weeks ago he was waking up only once a night going 4-5 hours between feedings. This past week he is waking up two times during the night which makes for a very tired momma. I know it won't last forever so hopefully I can make it a couple more months of it. Bailey and Jesse continue to love on their little brother.

Happy Anniversary!

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:30:00 +0000

Yesterday Billy and I were blessed to celebrate 6 wonderful years of marriage! We celebrated by going to a movie, "The Blind Side" and then we went to Outback to eat. We weren't alone though, we had Jack to keep us company! These are the days of our lives right now! We wouldn't trade them for anything. We are thankful for each other and for our precious children.

Singing

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:54:00 +0000

The kids are so cute when they sing so here's a sample...

Bailey's rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." She did start out correct although it's not on video but then she got a little lost.

Jesse singing "Jesus Loves Me" this is the only phrase of the song he sings. Sometimes at bedtime he sings this over and over while we sing the whole song! So cute!

One month

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:42:00 +0000

Yesterday Jack was 4 weeks old. It is hard to believe it's been a month already. He has definitely been our most difficult baby. He doesn't cry all the time but he does have a fussy time in the evenings and we haven't found anything yet that will pacify him during this time. We get through it but we are so ready for bed after his last feeding! He still cries just about every time you change his diaper and change his clothes. Hopefully he will figure out soon that this is going to be a daily thing so he might as well get use to it! We go through diapers like candy. He is the most poop'inest baby we've ever seen! And gasiest! Sometimes Billy and I look at each other like 'was that really this little baby that did that?!' He'll love one day that I'm telling all his business on the blog! Jesse and Bailey still love him and love giving him kisses and hugs.

Family Night

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:55:00 +0000

We haven't done a family night in a while but this weekend we decided to watch a movie after supper. We watched "Bolt." Jesse watched probably a third of the movie and then lost interest until we broke out the popcorn and then he settled back down. Yes we bribe our kids with food sometimes! or chocolate!

Big Sister

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:53:00 +0000

Bailey loves to hold her little brother or as she calls him sometimes, Bubbie. She will also call Jesse -Bubbie as well but he is the big Bubbie and Jack is the little Bubbie. So funny!

Thumb Sucker?

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:10:00 +0000

Well the other day Jack found his thumb and a few fingers too. He hasn't really done it since so I'm not sure he will be a thumb sucker but maybe! He just looked so cute!

Happy Halloween!

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 02:13:00 +0000

Jesse went trick or treating for the first time tonight. He dressed up as Scooby Doo. He had a great time going to the 5 or 6 houses we went to in the rain. But before the last house he told me he was ready to go home! Everyone loved his costume. Bailey was visiting some family in Alabama with her NeeNee. Jack was also a little cutie.

Happy Birthday Jesse!

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:33:00 +0000

Two years ago today we made our way from Asia to Europe headed to the hospital because Jesse was ready to come into the world! We had to dodge the Euraisa Marathon hoping we didn't run into any traffic. After making it to the hospital Jesse was born about six hours later. Life with a little boy has been quite different but a blessing every minute! We love you Jesse! Happy Birthday!

Today we had a Thomas the Train party. I didn't make the cake like I normally would because of everything else going on! But Jesse loved it as you can tell by the pictures. Black icing is very had to get off! I don't recommend it for a toddler's cake. We had a small party with Billy's mom and two friends. Another friend was suppose to come but she decided to go into labor so we thought that was a good excuse. Hopefully she will have that baby girl soon! Anyway Jesse had a great party. He loved blowing out the candles and kept saying "do it one more time." So we blew candles out a couple of times. I think he is going to definitely keep us on our toes during the "terrible" twos!

Sister and Brothers

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:32:00 +0000

Today I got them all together to take a picture! And they were even all awake! Bailey loves holding Jack. I think she would hold him almost all day if we would let her. Jesse held him but didn't seem to interested. He was a little indifferent about it. He wasn't asking to hold him again like Bailey was. Anyway here they are!

Stand Still!

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:44:00 +0000

Well I tried two times yesterday to get a good picture of the kids because they looked so cute. But both times they wouldn't stand still or look at the camera. So this is as good as it gets! Can't wait til I'm trying to take a picture of three kids running around!

Jack's first half bath

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:44:00 +0000

I wouldn't say it was a real bath when you can't be immersed in the water so Jack just got a sponge bath yesterday. He wasn't to fond of it.

Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (Johnson Journal) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:39:00 +0000

On Saturday's the kids and I wear our orange to cheer on the Volunteers. Every time Bailey sees the color orange she says "look there's TN!" So cute. They like watching some of the game yelling "Go big orange!" or "Go Tennessee!" They are so funny! But they will be Tennessee fans!
