Martin Luther King Day
Now, we all had the day off and decided to hang out and have fun with Tracee and my nephews. They spent the night Sunday night, and we made cheeseburgers with grilled onions! mmm... And then watched a movie. Monday we went to Red Rock for a picnic, and Jesse took the boys on a little hike. It was a lot of fun.
Wrestling
So, I finally made it out to one of the matches for the Burleson Boys! I didn't get to see Cole or Chase, but I did get to see 2 of Brendt's matches. The first one he lost, but the second one I saw, he pinned the kid in 26 seconds! He's really good! Chase placed 6th, and I'm not sure about Cole, but it sure was fun to be there if only for a few minutes. The only pics I took while there though are of me and Chase being silly, and Brendt right before one of his matches. What's up with all the funny faces?
Look how cute my man is!
So while there in Washington we went to a place that I believe was called Whatcom Falls.. Not sure on that. But it is a very green area that we hit up everytime we get to Washington. This time we didn't walk the trail we just took pictures then took off. It was raining, and if we had stayed any longer we would've been drenched. We were in the car talking though about how we're sure that in Washington a big seller for a car is a guarantee on the windshield wipers!
Washington!
That's the newest addition to our family!
For some reason, Dustin thought it was a good idea to take a big bite of this red frosting that made up a balloon on a cake. Talk about disgusting! I seem to remember his teeth being red after that!
Going to Washington the very beginning of December was a lot of fun. When we were sitting on the plane to go, I was upset that we only had like a day and a half there, but we sure had a lot of fun with the time that we had. Next time I hope for more time! We were there for baby Kai's blessing. He is just the cutest little guy that you've ever seen. I think he's gonna look a lot like Paden. We all had designated sleeping areas for the 2 nights we were gonna be there, but ended up with all of us staying at Rob and April's place.
Snow in Vegas!!
Christmas Morning!!!
Okay, we had Christmas at our house this year, and I thought it was a lot of fun! Jesse's parents, brother, and Grandmother and Tracee spent it with us. We cooked that morning and ate all afternoon. Loved every minute of it. We are very lucky to have such good families on both sides! I made Jesse smile for a picture every few minutes, and after a while he started giving me the "cheesy" smile over his natural smile. We also have a cute little doggy that we got just before Thanksgiving. He is a beagle/boston terrier mix named Norbert or Norbie for short. And outside of his potty issues he's the greatest little guy ever!
The Happiest Place on Earth!
So, we were able to go to Disneyland the week of Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun. They had it all decorated for Christmas! The parade was a lot of fun to watch
Dustin's homecoming
Here we all are at Dustin's homecoming. He got home in October, but I'm just figuring out this blog stuff now. Everyone is really excited to have him home, even though he still wears that crazy hat everywhere! We missed Robby's family not being there, but are seeing them soon in Washington! I'll post Washington pics
So here we are setting up our very first Christmas tree with the help of the Burleson boys! We always have fun with those boys, and are very happy that we live in the same town as them, or we would see none of my family. They usually come over Sundays, and eat, play games, and leave their handprints on my walls! Trying to break that habit. We had a lot of fun setting this tree up, and can's wait to do it again next year! Though taking it down was horrible!
So here are my sisters, Mom and I at Bev's house in Cedar. It's Thanksgiving Day, and we are all trying to suck in our gut! :) It was a lot of fun being in Cedar, though we did miss having Tracee's boys with us. We just talked a lot like we always do, and ate a lot like we always do. I must say that my fruit salad was a smash! They gave me like the least important dish for some reason..(come on guys, I can cook!) but did a dang good job of it. Momma taught me good... We also did some Black Friday shopping, my very first time doing so the day after Thanksgiving. Usually like to stay away from the crowds.
Breaking Dawn
Sorry
So, as I've come to realize I'm really not that good of a blogger. I like to look at others but am sad to say that I am a sorry excuse of a blogger. I feel like everyone is really good at updating their blogs, and know all the cool shortcuts. Sometimes I wonder if there is like a blogger oath that you all take.. " I _________ do solemnly swear to uphold the standards of all bloggers before me, and that have yet to come. I swear to blog daily and have at least 2 new topics to talk about, and to never repeat the same thing twice. I will also swear to have cute new pics and a fun recipe to share so people will leave my blog a new person with a new dish for dinner that night. I will never leave home without my camera and a change of batteries so that I may fulfill all of my responsibilities as the host of ______ blog." I am not making fun of anyone, but am only thinking of all my inadequacies as a blogger. I will try to do better. Our lives at the Johnson home is not that eventful right now, but we'll sure try to keep ya'll updated!
