Snow Day!!

Colorado snow is the best because it goes away quickly :) It snowed a foot on Thursday and is already gone today. We had fun staying cooped up all day. Jack loved to stare out the window at the snow and I had fun plowing it.

It's Egg Stand-Up Day!!!

Happy first day of Spring! The only day an egg stands up by itself......one of the many Johnson traditions and made-up reasons to celebrate :)

A Very Merry Unbirthday

Yay for birthdays!! Last week poor Jay turned 27. So old! :) Today, is my half birthday! I don't have to be 27 for 6 more months!! So, we went on a St. Patrick's/Unbirthday picnic in the mountains. It was absolutely gorgeous! It was Jack's first picnic and I think he really liked it. We couldn't get him to look at the camera though. The river was a little more exciting.







I made my first cheesecake ever for Jay's birthday. It was soooooo yummy!


My friend Meghan sent Jack a DU beanie and t-shirt. I think it is mostly to bribe us to go there:) (Jay also got into the U of Maryland this week. Congratulations to him!)



Here are some funny videos of Jack. His first time on the swings (which he LOVED) and his amazing rocking chair abilities.

Jack's Kisses

Accepted!

Jay found out today that he got accepted to Denver University, to the Josef Korbel School of International Studies!! It is his first choice, plus they gave him a scholarship! Woot Woot!! So unless any of the schools in Washington D.C. offer us a better deal, looks like we will be staying in Colorado. Congrats to Jay for all of his hard work!

HELP!!!!!

Jack is a climber. This sucks now but I assume when he is a grown man winning tons of money for rock climbing competitions I won't mind. Yesterday he climbed all the way to the top of his bouncy chair and almost catapulted himself across the room. Then it was the dishwasher. He had all 4 limbs up and was crawling inside (I know you are thinking, "Where were you?" Well, I was watching. I wanted to see how far he could get). He climbs over the back of the pews at church. He climbs up the couches. When you hold him he tries to climb over your shoulder. He has even started to try and climb the window blinds. I didn't actually know that was possible, but it is.

So, here is where the real problem comes in. He is trying to climb his crib. So far he just pulls himself up and holds onto the top rail. However, he CAN'T GET BACK DOWN. Which is unfortunate because then he cries and can't fall asleep. I have to go in and rescue him and then 3 minutes later he is right back up. Not too bright if you ask me, but he is only 8 months old. So my question is, are you allowed to use truck tie-downs on your kids?

Seriously, any suggestions are welcome.

"But It Wasn't Even Yellow!!"

There are many reasons that I love Jay. I am not going to get all mushy, but the biggest reason I love him is because he cracks me up.

Jay is in charge of Jack's bath each night. Mostly because he doesn't mind getting drenched and I don't like my hair to get wet :) Last night Jay was running the bath and Jack pulled himself up on the edge to watch it fill up. I went in to ask Jay something and noticed him wiping up the floor.

Me: "Oh, did Jack pee on the floor?"

Jay: "Oh crap. He did! I thought the bathtub was leaking so I have been running my hands in it trying to figure out where the leak was!"

Me: "Gross! You've been playing in Jack's pee?"

Jay: "I guess, but it wasn't even yellow!"

(Notice the dark part in the grout of the tile :) Ha!)


Jack doesn't like his toys anymore. He just plays with his Butt Paste. Weird.


I think this is my favorite face that Jack makes. He wrapped himself up in the rug and I was laughing so hard trying to get this picture that he made his sly face :)
