I hope Mammy isn't right

I love Gone With the Wind. I think I was Scarlett O'Hara every Halloween from kindergarten to 6th grade. One of my favorite scenes is after Scarlett has her baby. Scarlett makes Mammy measure around her waist after her corset is tightened again.

Scarlett: Try again, Mammy.
Mammy: Twenty inches.
Scarlett: Twenty inches? I've grown as big as aunt Pitty. You've simply got to make it eighteen and a half again, Mammy.
Mammy: You've done had a baby, Miss Scarlett. And you ain't never going to be no eighteen and a half inches again. Never. And there ain't nothing to do about it.

Well, I fully intend to prove Mammy wrong. Even if it takes me the next 6 years :)

G-DUB

The decision is in. We are going to be East Coasters! Jay has picked George Washington University for his masters program in International Security. We are really excited for a new adventure, but we get to enjoy Colorado for a few more months before we take off! It will be a major change from living in the country to living in a huge, busy city... should be a really fun 2 years!

Like Father, Like Son

Evidently being accident prone is genetic. Jay separated his shoulder 4 days before we got married and has had little injuries here and there ever since. Jack is certainly following in his footsteps :) He has been crying a little for the past week when we pick him up. Jay and I tried to test his arms out to pin point where it was hurting him. Well, we couldn't ever find anything so we figured he was ok. Yesterday at church he started screaming like he was in excruciating pain. When we got home, we took off his shirt and sure enough, his shoulder and collarbone were swollen and a little bruised. We took him into the Dr. this morning and found out he has a fractured collarbone. We have no idea how or when he did it. He has been crawling like normal and pulling himself up and reaching for things. We had no idea! So, he gets to wear this sweet little brace to keep his shoulders from moving. He looks like a bulldog when he crawls and when he sits up he kind of looks like Frankenstein, but he doesn't seem to mind it and goes about his business as usual. Yay for x-rays and doctors!!! On the upside, at least for Halloween I can turn the brace into a little gun holster and he can be Jack Bauer :)

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.
