Johnson Family Adventures

Charles and I got to go away for our anniversary - 9 years already! Then the 2nd night, the kids joined us :) We had so much fun swimming, and playing...until 10:30pm when Hudson decided that he DID NOT want to sleep in his pack n play at the hotel....so we moved him into our bed (which is the first time EVER) and he slept really well till 4am...then it was like someone turned a happy ON switch in him ON. He was giggling and cooing, and giving daddy and I kisses...at 445am. So finally, Charles says, Let's pack up and GO HOME. So we did. :) Great decision too.We got home at 620am and everyone slept till 9am :)  Hudson discovered mud. Yum yum :)  Celebrating NINE years :)  Cave Creek/Carefree have this amazing Sun Dial. 62 ft tall, and just fun to look at.  Wyatt getting a little help to shoot bad guys...  Savvy playing Galaga. Love old video games. I even got to play Ms. Pac Man :) Seriously, one of these days when we have a game room  ...

Hudson is one!! He is walking, climbing A LOT and generally bringing LOTS of joy to our family. He is super opinionated, surprise, surprise :) Here are some fun pictures from his birthday party.   Great friends and neighbors, the Corson's :)  Great friends from church, Kenny & Dalene Hill - their daughter Shaleigh is our adopted big sister and amazing babysitter :) Cassandra, in the back, is another fabulous neighbor :)  Auntie Leslie, Julia, and Shaleigh :)  Wyatt is pretty excited to be 3...and already talking about turning 4 :)  oooooh what is this???  Seriously?

Seriously. If blog posting were as routine as paying bills, I would seriously be in ARREARS. :) We just recently got a new laptop so now hopefully my issues with posting and uploading pictures will be resolved and the irritations of a slow, ancient computer are gone. :) Today we celebrate our 2nd born son, Hudson Michael Johnson. He is such a delight. He is currently learning how to walk - he alternates between really fast crawling and excited toddling. He is also a master of climbing on the couch :) and getting down carefully :) Huddy actually wants to climb on ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he can get himself up on. :O) Oh my......We had a fun little party yesterday for him - he thoroughly enjoyed his chocolate cake ball :) Those pictures will come soon. Savanna is about 60 days away from starting kindergarten - I know this b/c she keeps asking how many days are left :) Needless to say, she is VERY excited.
