365 photo albums

Earlier this year, I started 365 photo albums for both Evin and Katelyn. No–not 365 individual albums (Julie). :o) A 365 photo album is an album that has a photo for every day of the year. I’ve always tried to do them for myself, but could never find the inspiration to take an interesting photo … Read more

Got me a new do this weekend.

Man, I didn’t realize how long it had been since my last post. Yipes! It feels like things have been going light speed since the new year. I feel like we were just lighting off fireworks in the driveway…. but we weren’t. :o) Anywho – Last week we were lucky to have some out of … Read more

Our trips to San Diego have become an annual tradition. We love going there and we love being there this time of year. The weather is amazing and the crowds are smaller because it’s their off-season.

Pictures for Mom

I’ve been waiting for the day that Evin would start drawing pictures that actually are something–to him anyway. Lately, he’s been more into drawing, and when I picked him up at school the other day, he told me he drew me a picture. One side has a dinosaur and on the other side there is … Read more

I had a great birthday this year. First, we had a family celebration at our house with the Johnson crew. We had delicious pizza, cake and good company. Then, I came home on my actual birthday to my boys surprising me with flowers, my favorite wine, a homemade cake, and a special birthday card handpicked … Read more

After a very sick mom these past few days, I was counting down the minutes until 6pm. 6pm was exactly 24 hours after I took my first dose of antibiotics and was no longer contagious. At 6pm, snuggle time was in full effect…
