Twenty weeks!!

It is so hard to believe that I am already twenty weeks pregnant. Tonight jj felt the baby move for the first time!!!! It was pretty cool. We also have decided on a name..........CHLOE FAITH JOHNSTON!!! Her middle name is faith because she has already taught me so much about trusting God and having true faith!!! I can't wait to see how.much more I continue to learn through this process. Half way there!!!!!

Daffodil Fields!!!

This was our trip to the daffodil fields this year! We had a good experience even though later that day we found out that Sadie was sick with the croop which explains why it was a bit challenging! Over-all I thought they turned out great!

Love them!!

This is just a cute picture of our sweet kids! We are so blessed to have such loving children! I guess maybe that is why the LORD wanted to bless us more.....

PaPa's Bday!



Last week was Papa's birthday! We met him at Applebees to celebrate! It was a wonderful and refreshing time with family and friends!!!!

Psalm 40

"As for you O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!!!

It's been a couple of weeks, but we did have a very encouraging doctor's appointment and we found out that we are having a healthy baby girl! We are very excited and Sadie was astounded! Everything looked great on the very detailed ultrasound, so now it is just sit and wait. I am still in the very critical point with the IUD situation, but in 7 more weeks, that will be over. Thank you so much for all your prayers and please keep them coming!!!!!

Savannah's Baby Dedication!

Last Sunday, Savannah got dedicated at her church. It was very special and a wonderful reminder of the responsibility as parents and family that we have to be Godly examples for her to follow! May she be blessed in so many ways and know the love of Christ one day!

New things!

Dakota has been doing lots of new things lately! He is walking really good, in fact he is almost running! He loves to follow Sadie everywhere and do everything that she does. He loves to dump all Sadie's toys out of the bins as well as his own! The cutest thing he has done lately was play with his truck that makes noises. He makes the cutest "OHHHH" face. You will see in the video below! He also loves to dance to any music! He is beginning to talk some. The normal phrases, mama, dada, more are the common ones. He has recently learned to say night-night, bye-bye, and just this past weekend he said nana, papa, and nannie! I can't wait to see how the other words he learns very soon, that is if, Sadie gives him the opportunity to talk!!!

Logan's Pool Party!

Logan had his 4th birthday party at the aquatic center. Sadie and Dakota loved the water!!!!

Barbour Beach!!


PAPA built Dakota, Sadie, and Savannah a HUGE sandbox. In fact, Sadie has named it Barbour Beach. We spent Saturday there and the kids played their little hearts out in this sandbox. I don't think anything makes Sadie happier than sand and a bucket/shovel! The turkey that you will see is pretty random, but is a pet of our neighbor. It just gobbles and gobbles and Dakota laughed and laughed! Pretty cool!

FLU!!!

Our sweet little Dakota had the flu a little over a week ago! It was horrible, but thanks to tamiflu and our checking account and of course the healing power of God, he is feeling much better. For those of you curious, this is what a one year with the flu looks like!

NOT FEELING SO HOT!!!!

LAST DAY OF MISERY AND FEELING MUCH BETTER!!!
