We are BACK!!

Wow the last 6 weeks have been filled with contractors. We finished our upstairs. When we built the house 2 years ago we left the upstairs unfinished. We had no babies:) It is 1450 square feet, a huge bonus room/playroom/office, Laura has her very own sewing room (our dining room is no longer the sweat shop), a guest bedroom and a full bath. It was so fun to see our vision come alive. Chris and I have spent a lot of time on this project. We were very blessed to have wonderful contractors that gave us great recommendations for other contractors. The project start to finish was 6 weeks and we only went over $500. Not too shabby. We know we will enjoy the space for many years to come. Austin LOVES running around upstairs. It warms my heart to hear him and Chris wrestle and giggle. Our furniture should be here by middle of May and then Chris will make his dream purchase of a BIG TV!!! I see lots of sleepovers, football watching parties, and just plain ole family fun upstairs.

He does not want to be strapped in the high chair, shopping cart or stroller, he loves to play with the buckles

He wants whatever we are drinking or eating

He is eating great with a spoon and fork

Each day is filled with new adventures- it is so fun watching him grow into a little boy- I am truly blessed

play date with Jet

We started the day off at the discovery Center, Parent and Tot class-

The topic was Valentines

Then we went and played in the Tiny Tot Town Austin grinding his teeth (his is working on bottom molars)

Climbing EVERYWHERE
Playing with the sensory tubes

Cooking in the Kitchen

Then we took the boys to feed the ducks

They bot kept pointing- too cute

They were tired and hungry at this point

Look at the ducks-

too bad the geese kept trying to steal the bread

The geese are MEAN!

PS- Rebecca had to feed the duck-

I am scared to death of ducks (or birds of any type)

Daddy maybe in charge of trips to feed the ducks from now on:)

We ended the day with a YUMMY Mexican lunch- then the boys passed out

It is so fun watching them grow up together

We are so blessed to have the Johnson's in our lives
