Happy Birthday Daddy!

Ok so daddy's birthday was last week but I forgot to post about it because we travelled to Knoxville and blah, blah, blah, well I forgot. He was out of town too at a men's retreat so we celebrated early on Thursday. The kids helped me make him a Chocolate Chip Pie because he doesn't like cake that much. Here they are blowing out the candles!

Being Silly

Tonight me and the kids spent a little while in the back yard and we had fun being silly with the camera. Bailey took a few of the pictures which she loved!

Give it a Try: Mango Salsa

I was fixing salmon the other night and have seen in restaurants or in magazines that they pair Mango Salsa with it. So I thought I would give it a try. And I'm glad I did because it was delicious! Billy even loved it. I found this recipe on Epicurious. It was great on top of the salmon but I had it today with just some tortilla chips for lunch. So if you are looking to branch out a little then give it a try!

Mango Salsa
2 cups chopped pitted peeled mango
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
2/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons olive oil
Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

You can view the complete recipe online at: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Mango-Salsa-5707?mbid=ipapp

Bailey and Lizards

I have posted before about Bailey's love of lizards. It is so bad that if she sees one and can't catch it she gets mad and pitches a little fit! She wants to catch them so bad. She is normally pretty good at catching them but while Aunt Denise was here they found a fast one and Aunt Denise helped her catch it. He was so weird though. His skin looked more like snake then the normal lizards we see around here. A little creepy for me. And he was fat! He was a big boy!

MS Walk

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. That's why I registered for the MS Walk and that's why I'm asking you to support my mom & sister in fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is a community of individuals who are committed to achieving a world free of MS. It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me. Simply click on this link MS Walk.  If you prefer, you can send your contribution to: National MS Society 214 Overlook Cir Ste. 153 Brentwood, TN 37027 Please be sure to include the name "Georgia Johnson" with your donation. Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do. P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the MS Walk are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.


This year our theme is "Like Mother, Like Daughter." As some of you know my mom was diagnosed with MS in 2003 and in 2011 Kim, my sister, was diagnosed as well. We are thankful for the support each of you has given us as they take this journey. Any contribution to help them fight MS would be greatly appreciated. You can also join us for the MS Walk, which is April 21 at The World's Fair site in Knoxville,TN. Registration is at 9am and the walk is at 10:30am. Let us know if you would like to join us!

We will have team T-shirts for the walk. The cost of the t-shirt will be $15. If you are interested in a t-shirt please send an email to Elizabeth Johnson - emailelizabethjohnson@gmail.com or call Georgia - 922-2682. Let us know by this Thursday if you want a t-shirt. Don't forget to tell us your t-shirt size when you order.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. We had a great day with close friends. This was the first Easter in a couple of years that we've been at home and it was nice to share it with some good friends. I wish I had a picture of everyone but I didn't think of it till just now. :( Oh well maybe next year.

ready to hunt eggs

And this is my sneaky child. If he wants something and he knows he is not suppose to have it he will go in the pantry or somewhere where he thinks he can't be seen and dig in! Normally it is chocolate or cheetos that I catch him with. So yesterday was no exception. I found him on the stairs tearing into his Reese's Cup Easter Bunny. This child may drive me crazy!
