A Little This... A Little That

A little update on the happenings at the Johnson house. Two weekends ago we went to Chattanooga to visit the Tennessee Aquarium. Matthew and I agreed that it had been 3 years since we had been to Chattanooga. A far cry from the weekly trips we made a few years ago! We had a great time and visited a few of the places we liked when we lived there. This past weekend we spent at home and enjoyed a relaxing couple of days. Now it's time to begin packing for our trip to Alaska. I'm really excited, but not looking forward to the 10+ hours of flying it will take us to get there and then home again. We ended up buying a seat for Ethan after observing him week after week in church. I started to picture the person in front of us after about 20 minutes of him kicking their chair or during a tantrum, and then I envisioned the person in the window seat needing a bathroom break just about the time he finally fell asleep, and then there's the snack cart he would want to push up and down the aisle. Oh what have we done?... Hopefully having him strapped into his carseat will prove beneficial to all. Will let you know how it goes when we return. Until then enjoy these pictures I know I do!!!


Not so sure about these bubbles!

Look at the Sting Rays.
If I was a little bigger I could touch them.

So your thinking this can't be a post about Jenny's birthday, that was what like 2 weeks ago? But alas it is. I have been so terrible about keeping up with this blog since 2009 started, and since I gave in and joined Facebook. But I think I am back and will try to make short simple posts from now on so I don't have the feelings of failure and the desire to give up blogging because I just can't update on all the things that have happened in the past 3 months ect. ect. Here are a few pictures of the 2 birthday celebrations I had. The first was with my parents at Maggianos, the second at a surprise party my wonderful husband planned for me.

Working on my birthday was no fun, but recieving these beautiful flowers at the office from Matthew made it less tramatic.

Here are the 2 people that made this birthday possible so many years ago. Thanks mom and dad!

My wonderful family.

Take note of the child with the missing shoe...my son! Oh the fun never ends around here :)

These are the type of cupcakes mom was making the night she went into labor with me. They are yummy!

Ethan found the walker I was given to be so fun to push around. At least someone enjoyed it. Just kidding I got a good laugh out of it too.

*These next two pictures I post with hesitation for fear of being accused of subjecting my child to cruel and unusual punishment by Matthew and Ethan later in life. But I think they are cute and will take my chances with the need for counseling in the future.

Note the look of resignation as if to say, "fine mom just take the picture so you can stop volunteering me to be a flower every week in Sabbath School."

This look just screams," I don't know what you're so excited about!" :)
