The Johnson Family

Ten Months Old!

2009-05-22T11:49:00.002-07:00

We have reached the 10 month mark! We are sleeping through the night, the twins are crawling, and they are crawling fast! Walker is letting go of the tables and proving that he can stand all by himself, and is constantly laughing at Cash. Cash is babbling all the time, DADADADADA, BABABABABABA, NANANANANANA, but still NO MAMAMAMAMAMA! =(
These boys seem to really be noticing each other now. Walker is quite ticked off if he wakes up and Cash is not in the crib next to him. They will play happily in their cribs, and talk to each other through the bars. They follow each other around the house, and laugh together. I love having twins!!!

Puppy Love

2009-05-22T11:39:00.003-07:00

This is the place the twins love to hang out. They go to the window, and of course the dogs come running. The dogs will stay there until the babies leave most of the time. They love each other! Too bad mom and dad don't trust the doggies enough to actually let babies grab, poke and climb all over them. I think Cash would be in heaven, and Walker would be scared out of his mind!

A New Habbit

Cash started off his young life sucking his thumb, and sometimes sucking on a binki. He has recently started to suck on his index finger instead of the thumb, but will still sometimes take a binki. This past week he has combined the best of both worlds, by regularly putting his finger IN the binki and sucking away! Cute little buddy!

Just Some Updated Pics!

I took somthing like 500 pictures in the last few months, and I feel a little behind! So here are just a few of my favorites!

Mikki's Birthday Party.

Our beautiful Kiddos!

If this picture does not make your day, I don't know what will!!!

Growing Bigger!

Don't you wanna squeeze those cheeks?!?

My little buddies have gotten bigger and stronger! Walker is crawling! Cash is clapping his hands! They are both FINALLY sleeping through the night, which makes our lives wonderful!
And, as you can see, Walker has hair again! Cash is still pretty much bald. Guess he wants to do things his own way! We are really enjoying the twin thing! It is so fun to catch them at a rare moment when they look at each other and smile huge smiles and babble to each other. The other day, Walker got Cash's attention, and laughed at him, and then Cash laughed back, like they were sharing a joke. It was unbelievably cute!

Smart Boy!

The other day when we were eating at a restaurant, Caden announced that if he spent his entire life savings then he could afford to pay for our night out. Eric told him not to worry, that if he did, then Obama would give him some more money for free. I was laughing at the joke, but Caden actually looked offended as he said "I don't want his free money, I want to earn what I make!" Out of the mouth of babes!!!

Nap Time!

The other day I walked into my kitchen and this is what I found...don't ask me how she fell asleep like this!!

BIB--Bald is Beautiful

2008-09-18T21:25:00.007-07:00

Alas, it has come to my great dismay that both of my boys have lost their hair. I know, I know, it was not much to begin with, but considering the lack of hair on all my previous babies, I was really enjoying their cute little fuzzy heads. But as their due date came around their hair fled. Of coarse, if you look at the back of their heads they still have a horizontal patch of hair left, thus inspiring Eric's new nickname for one "Old Man Walker".

The Other "Set of Twins"

2008-09-18T21:25:00.004-07:00

The other day Mikki and Danni came in dressed completely alike and thrilled beyond belief. They announced to me that they are the other twins in our family. They stuck together the rest of the night, even after I put the camera away. What cute girls!!

Our Family Is Bigger!

2008-08-12T13:57:00.002-07:00

On July 19th 2008, we welcomed two new arrivals to our family. I was 35 1/2 weeks pregnant when my water broke in the middle of the night. Two and a half hours later at 4:03 AM, Walker was born. He weighed 6 lbs 6 oz, and was 19 inches tall. Cash followed quickly at 4:15 AM. He weiged 5 lbs 9 oz, and was 18 1/2 inches tall. Both of our little guys had to stay in the NICU for two days but have been healthy and thriving ever since!

The Bug on the Ceiling

2007-09-04T14:37:00.003-07:00

The other night, Danni was in her usual habit of calling me back into her room after I have tucked her into bed. When I heard her little voice calling me for the third time, I was a little annoyed. I marched into her room, ready to lecture her on the bedtime proceedure yet again, when she said, "Mommy, there's a bug on the ceiling". I looked above her bed and sure enough there was a tiny moth on the ceiling. I had no desire to climb up there, so in an attempt to save time I told her, "It is just a piece of dirt". She looked at me completely nonplussed for a good 5 seconds, then stated, "The dirt is walking." I was laughing so hard, as I gave in and climbed up after the moth. I guess she wasn't fooled!!

Introduction of Us!

2007-09-04T13:46:00.000-07:00

This is our first blog and so I will start with introductions. Eric is 35 years old works in the family buisness doing Group Benefits and Insurance, and spends as much time as he can out hunting. Tenay is 31, and a stay at home mom, who loves to read books, quilt, and hunt occationaly also. Caden is 8 years old, and is in 3rd grade, and his recent obsession is with Pokemon. I am sure that next week it will be something else. He is still very cudly, and is my sweet boy. He just started Cub Scouts two weeks ago, and is loving every second of it. Mikayla (we also call her Mikki) is 6 years old, in 1st grade, and is mommy's big helper. She has her own apron that she quickly puts on any time I am cooking, and begs me to let her vaccume the floor (I don't expect this phase to last long....I am loving it right now!). Mikki loves to sing and dance, and is all girl through and through. Danielle (aka Danni) is our little ball of spit and fire, and is constantly keeping us on our toes. Her whit is becoming more pronounced each day, as she says or does something to make us laugh. Her goal in life must be to have everyone around her laughing.

This week Caden and Mikki will be starting soccer, and this year Mikki will be playing on an all girl team....last year she was the only girl. She is very excited for this, especially since her two cousins will be on the same team with her. Caden is also on the same team as his cousin, and although he loves basketball the most, he is very excited for soccer. This will take up two nights a week each for practice, and each have a game on Saturday. That means a lot of running around for me...so I guess I will officially be considered a "Soccer Mom".

We are still in the process of building our house, and that takes most of our free time. We have so many big and little decisions that we have to make over the next couple of months as things get finished up. But in the end it is nice that I get to pick every little thing in our house including the hinges on the doors....then I can blame no one else for my choices!!
