House Updates...

Here are some pictures of the progress we made today on the flooring... it is amazing how big of a difference the flooring makes! There is still a lot to get done but here is a sneak peek...

The master minds behind everything!

Christmas Vacation Fun!

Today we had Logan, Lane, Tyler & Sammy over for some Christmas Vacation fun!
Hours of fun and no injuries! :)

Sammy cookin' some lunch on the fire...

The kids all falling off the tube - kind of a different shot, I like. :)

The boys had some ideas to make the track 'better' - so they got out the shovels and started creating their own jumps. I will have to admit that the jumps added a whole new twist to the course and made it much more challenging to hold on (as if it wasn't challenging enough!).

We also had a fabulous time watching Kung-Fu-Panda & playing a few rounds of Mad Gab! It was quite funny listening to their Mad Gab phrases!

Fun with Friends!

Today we invited Brad, Amanda & Family and Tony, Lindsey & family over for some backyard tubing fun - we had a great time going 'round in circles & eatin' hot dogs off the fire!

The Question Becomes...

Is there a strategy to hanging on - we tried multiple ways; however, failed time after time! Falling off is 3/4 of the fun!

Here is Sammy, Gage and Myself falling off...

Lindsey & Tony hanging... As you can see - there are multiple ways in which two people can try to hold on; however, there is only one sure way it will end up...

Falling off...Lindsey is such a trooper! I'm pretty sure she is nose diving off the
jump and Tony is landing on top of her in this picture! *ouch*Lindsey & Taylor

The Johnson Christmas

Every year the Johnson's have their Christmas together on the 24th... this year was one for the books because we had a 2 year old to share in the magic of Christmas. You know - the magic of being able to open clothes as presents and throw them on the floor because they weren't toys! I can't remember the last time I got away with that! :)
Enjoy some fun pictures of our evening together!
