Life is crazy at the Johnston's

I promise I will update as soon as I can. 

Until then enjoy and survive the storms of life with me.

Circle of Life

Yes, I was trapped in my bedroom.

Guess they were getting me back for all the years

they woke up on their birthdays

trapped in their beds. LOL

This last week has been very emotional both ups and downs.

In this one week I have experienced 3 very different stages of life.

I began the week with the death of my sweet friends 7 month old baby boy. 

That I had just held in my arms just the day before.

I celebrated my tremendously blessed life with my sweet children, mom, and Kurstin for my 39th birthday.

Then shared the excitement and joy of my nephew Glade and his wife Johnnie as we watched the sonogram showing they were having a boy.

What a week!!!

 But one thing I KNOW for sure is that 

our Heavenly Father loves us and knows the whole plan and the part we play.

And I am grateful for that knowledge.

12 years

Isn't she adorable???

I think so.

Victoria, I love you with all my heart. 

I know you hear this all the time but, I can't believe she is growing up so fast

12 YEARS OLD.

Happy Birthday

Another Mother of the Year Award

Ok I have done it again.....

At the beginning of January, yes 6 weeks ago,

Victoria tripped on the dog and hurt her foot/ankle.

Long story short just way later:

She has a torn muscle and it is not healing properly.

She has to wear this boot for atleast 3 weeks.

I am so glad my kids are so forgiving.

I love you Victoria.

Cute Factor

Isabella had her first dance competition on Sat. 

She was adorable.

She is the smallest and youngest in the group.

Their team competes in the Kinder-3rd grade group. 

There are 5 third graders, 4 first graders and Isabella pre-K.

(yes I am very proud and excited that she made this dance team)

She had a blast being spoiled by all the big girls and wearing make-up.

They performed to the song "I was born to entertain".

All I can say is ADORABLE

and the judges agreed. 

YEA, 1st place.

15 Years of Joy

I can't believe I am the mother of a 15 year old.

Does that make me old or him??

Marshall, I love you with all my heart. Here is to your first 15

and I can't wait to see how much more fun we have in the next 15.

XOXOXOXOXO

p.s. always remember to love your mommy
