Johnson Family Blog: October 2014

Hoppy Easter

This Easter was fun. Diana and her crew were up for a visit so the poor Easter Bunny had to work overtime in the Johnson house. Hoppy Easter Everyone!

This year I was able to take Renee to every girl's dream store....American Girl. Renee was totally enthralled. She loved going through the store picking out different outfits for both her and her new doll Isabelle. We even got to have lunch in the café. It was such a fun little outing. I'd love to go back in another few years.

Little Princess Turns 4

Renee Emeline Johnson. What can I say about my baby girl? She is quite an interesting character. She is so full of life and love. She is absolutely my little shadow. If I'm home she's never too far. She loves dance and getting her nails done, however, make no mistake. This girl knows how to get dirty. She does a good job keeping up with the boys, but loves hanging with the girls. She is quite the story teller too. She loves to make up stories to make her brother laugh. Sometimes it is hard to tell when she is joking and when she's not until she cracks up laughing. Patrick is still her best friend, and I love watching them play and take care of each other. I'm loving watching her grow and I can't wait to see how she changes and grows this year.

Baby Boy is 6

I can't believe my baby boy is 6. He continues to astound me daily. He is growing so big, so fast. He is so smart. He loves learning to read, and adores doing math problems. Sometimes he even has me quiz him in the car for fun. (Little weirdo) He is also incredibly sensitive. He knows what is right, and if that doesn't happen he gets upset. He loves his family, and his animals. I know he is going to grow up to be such a caring wonderful adult. I love watching him grow and change daily. Even if it makes me sad to see how fast his childhood is going. I hope he knows how much I love him, and he will always be my best baby boy.

Cinderella's Royal Table

One of the things I really wanted to do at Disney was Cinderella's Royal Table. I had never been, but I knew that Patrick would like it, and Renee would be in heaven. Sure enough it was a magical night. The kids were given the royal treatment. They met all of the princesses and loved having the "fancy" night. Patrick even got a sword and Renee got a magical wand. What a way to Disney it up!

Disney Days

Our next few days at Disney passed quickly. We went to the Animal Kingdom, and MGM Studios. We even got to go to the luau at the Polynesian. The kids had an awesome time. They loved riding all of the rides, and even meeting the characters. That was such a huge change from even a year ago when they were terrified of them. It turns out I have quite the little daredevils. They wanted to ride every ride, even the scary ones. I couldn't believe that Patrick rode Expedition Everest, or that Renee rode The Tower of Terror. What I loved most of all, however, was how much we enjoyed spending the family time together.
