Sick Baby!

This past weekend was a tough one for the Johnston's! Sadie was very sick and we had to take her to the hospital because she got dehydrated. She got lots of fluids and is much better now! Thank you so much for all your phone calls and prayers. She is not 100% yet, but she will be hopefully in the next couple of days!

Learning more and more!

Sadie has been learning to count to ten! Check it out!

Good Old Family Fun!

Our cousin Logan had his second birthday party last week. Sadie had a lot of fun that day. We started our day by going to visit my good friend Elizabeth and Logan. Sadie and Logan played in the play area at the mall while Elizabeth and I caught up. It was very exciting catching up again on what has been going on. We then went to Papa and Nana's and that was a lot of fun. Then it was time for Logan's birthday party. That was filled with lot's of excitement. Sadie loved eating the cake and really wanted to open all of Logan's gifts. One of his favorite gifts was an umbrella. It seems so simple, but he loved it. At the end of the party, the kids all got in the garage and played with the bubble blower. I must say that was one great invention. Sadie is definitely going to have to have one of these. She loved it as you will see in the pictures. We ended the day by going to "Two Cousins" and getting some good old Italian food. Sadie does love her some PIZZA!

I love helping mommy cook!

Sorry it has been so long since we blogged. Sadie loves to help me cook and of course we love sweets. Here she is helping me cook some brownies. She just sits on the countertop and watches me and waits for the mixer to turn off. She of course then says, "I'll clean it mommy", and proceeds to lick it all off. It is very cute and I am glad that she likes to sit and watch. I hope she can learn to cook from watching me, just as I did from watching my mom and others.

Cute Stuff!

Here are a few cute videos of Sadie saying her ABC,s, patty cake, and itsy bitsy spider. Enjoy. I also had to attach the cute picture of her and Trey playing outside earlier today!

Warm weather in February!

Wow, what an amazing weekend! The weather has been awesome. Sadie got to go to her most favorite place.......Nana and papa's. They came and picked her up Friday night. She had a blast of course. It was also nice for JJ and I to have time to do some stuff. We even got to go out Friday night (I thought I had forgotten how to do this, we hadn't been out in so long...hahaha). We picked Sadie up on Saturday. The weather was so nice that Sadie got to play with bubbles outside. Here are a few cute pictures from the bubbles. She really loved it and loved chasing them.

What is Sadie learning now!

Sadie is learning so much everyday. Having her with children is benefiting her so very much. She learns something new everyday. She can count to ten on her own, say her ABC,s with a little bit of help (which you will see in a video). She loves to sing nursery rhymes, play outside, watch any kind of cartoon movie, and play with her babies. She also really enjoys playing with wood puzzles. She is really good at putting them together. I guess I am a little biased, but I think she is the smartest 21 month old ever ahahahhaa! We are very proud of her and the progress she makes daily. She is still very small and doesn't seem to grow very quickly. She is constantly moving and doesn't really care that much about food, unless it is junk food. Hopefully it is nothing to worry about. Here is a cute picture of Sadie and I one day before church.

It's Potty Time!

Sadie got an Elmo movie for Christmas called, "Potty Time". She has really enjoyed watching it. It basically explains what it is to potty and seriously takes it to an extreme. Elmo even sings songs when he potty's. Well, about two weeks ago Sadie decided to go to the potty. She actually did it! We were so proud of her. She usually uses it once a day. She is definitely not ready for pull-ups yet, but maybe a year from now we will be diaper free!

A New Addition!

My friends gave me some vinyl lettering for Christmas. I couldn't decide on a phrase, so they just made one for me. I really liked it and the color was perfect for my bathroom. Anyway, check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does snow in the East!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today has been a very exciting and somewhat boring day. We woke up this morning to a dusting on the ground and by late in the evening it was around 4-5 inches. It was beautiful and a lot of fun. We introduced Sadie to a sled, but she mainly just liked walking around kicking the snow. It was really cold outside, so we couldn't stay out there very long. We were basically bumbs all day. Sadie played and made lots of messes all day long. I worked on school work except for one short nap, and JJ watched House over and over and over (it's his new favorite show).
