Spoke To Soon, I Guess

So, after saying I couldn't think of anything specific to share, I thought of a couple different things.  So, here we go...............

4th of July ~ Fun with flags and Nicky's pal Christian! 
~ Watching fireworks with Momma!

We took pictures with a couple of Nicky's favorite 
Sesame Street characters, Zoe & Elmo!


Visiting with relatives ~ the Bredehoft Blondes 
& Grandma Colleen's 12 Grandkids

Just for Fun to Catch Up...

Well, since it's been awhile since the last entry, and not able to decide on an event or topic to share... I decided just to share a few fun/cute/etc. photos from the last couple months!

To My Mom on Mother's Day

If you know my Mom, then you know what a unique and amazing woman she is.  What you may not know, or truly realize, is how wonderful a Mother she is, and has been, to me and my brother.  There is SO much to share about my Mom...this video is only a taste of this wise, artistic, strong, loving, important influence in my own life (as a woman, a human being, and a mother)!  
Love you, Mom!!!

The Little Singer

Nicky has definitely become a big fan of "Sesame Street", and especially of Elmo and his special segment "Elmo's World."  Nicky knows the theme song music to "Elmo's World" so well that he will come running from another room when he hears it.  The other day, he decided to sing along with Elmo during the opening tune.  Listen closely...............................

Our Backyard Transformation

After being in our house for nearly five years, and with the addition of Nicholas, we decided it was time to change our no plant-life/rock & concrete area...into a real "backyard", complete with flowers, bushes, trees, and GRASS!!  Many thanks to the folks at The Plant Nerd for their fabulous job!  Check out the before-and-after pictures below for the ultimate landscape makeover..................

A Very Belated Holiday Montage...very belated

Yes, it is now March.  Yes, we are barely posting about our Christmas holiday NOW!  But, hey...good things come to those who wait (at least according to Heinz Ketchup commercials).  Tardiness aside, the Johnson Family had a wonderful holiday season -- celebrating with Becky's family and extended family on Christmas Eve, having our own little family celebration Christmas morning, and then spending Christmas Day with Tom's family.  The holidays are always wonderful for us, but it makes the season THAT much better when we can share the time with the fabulous people in our lives!  On that note, enjoy Christmastime in March with Tom, Becky, and our little "saint" Nicholas...............
