Ready for my 4 day weekend!

Last weekend mom watched Jake Friday night and Saturday morning so Josh and I got to hang out some and ride 4 wheelers. We went up on Whitewater Rd to see the creek and how much it was up. I love riding and wish we could every weekend… I was really wishing that Jake was a little bit bigger and he could go on longer trips with us – rather than just out in the pasture lol! That little boy better be glad his momma likes the outdoors! ;) I will play with him all the time!!!

Saturday night was Alma graduation. I mean, I’ve always been a cry baby but it’s gotten worse since I’ve had a baby. I sat there during graduation… sweating and trying to keep Jake calm and still cried when they called my cousin’s name. I cried again thinking how next year this would be Payton… then I cried some more thinking how I will blink my eyes and this will be Jake! I was telling mom how I literally feel like it was me sitting there just yesterday. It’s been 10 YEARS this year since I’ve been out of high school, my!! how time flies!

This week has been rather stressful and tiresome. We’ve been without power since Monday afternoon. Storms and tornadoes have hit and affected so many people. It’s really sad. I am thankful to have my family safe and my house still standing. My job on the other hand has been pretty dang annoying. I am just a little too mouthy to listen to these people whine about not having electricity for a day. Could they for ONE second put themselves in Joplin family’s shoes… or OK… or the people who got hit last night in Denning?! They not only are without electric… but homes, clothes, their FAMILIES are missing… I can’t even imagine. Sickens me to think about it. Especially the family who was still searching for the baby boy! UGH!

Tomorrow is my Friday and I couldn’t be happier! After this horrible week! 4 day weekend is just what I need and I hope it goes by slooooowwwww. J

One more thing… I’m anxiously awaiting Ruby to get here! She’s been making progress… her momma has been making me nervous lol! ;) Maybe she will come on Friday which is Payton’s birthday or Sunday would be Jared’s birthday! Ruby born on her daddy’s b-day!?!? That would be sweet!

Happy Memorial weekend everyone! ;)

My handsome little man ready for graduation

Whitewater rd - creek overflowing!

*8 Months*

Jake turned 8 months old yesterday! WOW! 8 months already?! That means Ruby will be here in one month! They will be exactly 9 months apart! I think she will come early ;)

This weekend Jake and I went to Fayetteville to see Sarah and go to her baby shower brunch and I got to see some sweet girls I haven’t seen in a while! Jake had fun too! We went to Sarah’s after the shower to try and help her with the nursery a little and he went and ahead and slobbered on Ruby’s clothes, diapers, toys, anything he could get his hands on. Poor girl….I said “Jake NO, that’s Ruby’s…” Sarah laughed and said “Wonder how many times we will hear this…” HA!

The rest of the weekend we stayed around the house… cleaned and played and napped. It was nice. I hate running on the weekends. I feel like I run and gun all week and it’s really not what I want to do on the weekends at all! I will be running my head off next weekend… Friday night birthday party, Sat HOPEFULLY going to the state championship softball game (Fingers crossed they win today in the final four), graduation Sat night.. my sweet cousin is graduating.. I can’t believe it! Then Sunday… a baby shower! The weekend will be gone in a blink! Oh well! Lots of fun times! At least the following week will be a 4 day week and into a 4 day weekend! WOOHOO! I plan on doing a whole lotta nothing!

Josh has been working hard too… story of our life. Ready for summer weather and summer activities! It was cold at our house this weekend! So we didn’t get to play outside much!

Guess that’s all for today…. of course I will attach a few pics…. ;)

8 months old

He is such a HAM!

Love his duck.. which is getting huge!

Sarah and I ;)

First of all – we are loving this weather! Woohoo! With all the rain, our creek is overflowing with water and since it has been so warm we have been really taking advantage of some creek fun! Jake LOVESSSS IT! I can’t tell ya enough! The kid cries when we go inside! No joke! Pretty much throws a fit! We have to spell the word outside around him! ;)

Not a lot going on with the Johnson’s! Same ol’ same – work work work and play with Jake every minute we get! He is now saying Nana and Lola. Two new words! He is getting more fun by the day!

I have so many pictures to share but haven’t had time to upload! Boo! I have lots of pics from Sarah and Ruby’s shower… which turned out amazing! Pictures from Easter and Mother’s Day! All I can share today are some from my phone…

Speaking of Mother’s Day- it was my first and was great! Spent the day with family and my two boys – what more could this momma ask for! Got some sweet cards from special people in my life – made my day!

We are going to be so busy every weekend… something always going on! I’m so ready for life to slow down! Does it ever!? I’m taking off the Friday before Memorial weekend so I can have a nice 4 day weekend!
Have a great rest of the week! ;)

This was at the end of the day! Yep- passed out on the 4-wheeler!

I'm a lucky girl to have these boys in my life!

Dad- look Jake it's a crawdead (sp) haha
Jake - ooo let me touch it!

This boy was in Heaven!

Crying to be outside!

LOVES the rocks and dirt!

=)

LOVE my boy!
