Brotherly Love!

This how Parr likes to spend his mornings these days! He loves to hold Katie and watch cartoons. She likes it just as much as he does! So sweet! I don't leave them by themselves but had to for a minute to take this pic.

Parent/child dedication!

We celebrated Parent/Child Dedication at LHC! It was such a great day and we are so thankful for such a wonderful church family! And even more thankful to God for our precious children!

Laughing Girl!

Katie is really laughing these days and loves peek a boo!

Five Months!

I want to apologize in advance because this is going to be long and pretty boring! I wanted to write all of this so I could remember and for family.

Katie turned five months old on Monday and I can't believe how fast these five months have gone! I guess just as fast as Parr's four years have gone! She is just the most precious baby! I can't get enough of her each day and Parr loves being her big brother! He wants to hold her all day long and feed her. A couple of times he has even burped her! It is so sweet to watch her expressions because she loves Parr and most of all her daddy! I can't believe that she is already a daddy's girl but if he is in the room she has her eyes on her the whole time. She loves to listen to his voice and when we lean down to kiss her she opens her mouth to kiss us back.

Parr can make her laugh just by talking to her! She loves for him to blow on her belly. I will try to get video of that and some more pics tomorrow.

We started her on rice cereal last week and she liked it but this week has been apples and they are a big hit! As you can tell by her pics, sister doesn't turn down much!!! Like mother, like daughter! I read that kids were ready if they opened when you put the spoon to their mouth, she not only opened but grabbed the spoon and tried to feed herself!haha At 3 months s

he was nearly 16 pounds, so who knows what she is now. Parr was the same way, then when he hit 20 pounds he just stopped getting bigger and got longer. Who knows! I love all her little rolls!

She is sitting up on her own now and loving to play with her toys. She rolls over and sat in the shopping cart for the first time today at Costco! While we were there, Parr went to the bathroom by himself. Like in the women's bathroom all alone while I held the door open. After using the bathroom he went and washed his hands and did the whole routine by himself. I will have to say I was a little sad because I can't believe how grown up he is getting.

I haven't posted many things about him lately but he is a funny kid! Funny and Mischievous! Like father, Like son!!! He can make anything out of any household item we have. I decided yesterday I might as well pack up our toys because he is going to play with things around the house anyway. I caught him trying to catch his alligator flosser with my chi cord and put it in an empty laundry basket which was his boat! This is every minute of everyday! Tiring! But fun! His says, "All the body" and "All the one" for everybody and everyone. And loves to follow any idea he thinks of with, "would that be a good idea" just to try to convince us! We now have some chores around the house for him to earn a quarter each chore and he is doing pretty good with that. He does get proud of himself when he earns the quarter but for some reason picking up his toys isn't his favorite.

Parr's favorite people right now are Billy the Exterminator and Rick Perry!

He was so pumped to get to meet him!

Anyway, that is enough boring info on my kids but I haven't written about them in a while and don't want to forget some of these things one day

.

If you read all of this, thanks for putting up with my rambling!haha

Summer 2010

A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Arkansas to spend some time with our families. It was a very quick trip but we had fun. We went to Hot Springs to my parents condo. The kids had a blast on the boat and loved tubing! For some reason I don't have a picture of that right now but will post when I get it. Parr didn't want to get off the tube! Katie even liked her first boat ride although she didn't care too much for the life jacket. Gran rode to Arkansas with me from Austin so that drive was really easy but I drove home with them by myself! It wasn't too bad but did take us 12 hrs! We were glad to be home! Michael came to hot springs for the weekend. It was just a nice relaxing visit! Be prepared it is very long!!!haha

All the grandkids on my side! Parr doesn't stand a chance and Katie can't wait to chase around the older girls!

We had a bowling match one night while we were there and the boys of course smoked us!

Parr had fun playing with the big boys!

Crazy Ju Ju!

She was so funny bowling!

This is Parr's reaction after he knocked all of his pins down! It was so funny!

Katie and her favorite thing! Miss Horsey! She loves to snuggle with this!

Katie's first time in a life jacket. She slept through most of it

Nothing like a great snack after a long day on the boat!

One day we took the kids to the Mid America Museum. They really had a good time.

Cortlyn and Parr got to be a part of the demo! They thought they were big!

She loves her aunt!

July 4th Weekend!

Gran, Grumps, Aunt Melinda, Dave, Michael, Anna Claire, and John Henry came to visit for the weekend. We had a great time with them and Parr and Katie loved having everyone in town. Katie went to her first fireworks display and of course slept the whole time!

So cute!

And how cute is this? Precious!

John Henry and Katie playing footsie!

And to top the week off we all welcomed the newest addition to the Johnson clan!

Tyler Knox Johnson

July 9th

He is such a beautiful baby and has been so good! We are so excited to have another little boy!

Great Visit with Aunt Margie

We got a great surprise when my wonderful Aunt Margie came to visit for the day a few weeks ago! I love her so much and hate that I never get to see her. I was glad she got to see Parr and meet Katie. Hopefully we can see her again soon!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

We had a wonderful vacation bible school this year at Lake Hills! It was such an amazing week and I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful church! I can't believe how much Parr learns and how much I learn from participating. This year I taught the 4 yr olds again and I loved every day. They were so cute and such a great group! Already can't wait for next year!

Parr was so pumped for crazy hair day! He loved dying his hair blue!

Jersey day was also a favorite! He loved wearing his Razorback jersey and sweat bands Uncle Tyler had gotten him. I wore Michael's old football jersey and even sister wore her razorback onesie.
