3rd Grade Field Day!

Today was Kylie's Field Day at Smith Elementary! Jeff was able to stop by and say hi and get in on the fun! He said Kylie was having a blast!

Balancing Act! Way to go girl!

She has a full day of fun because after school she's going to a friend's slumber party where they're going to see the Hannah Montana Movie & have fun girl time!

This weekend will be full of excitement with a wedding tomorrow night and then Sunday my Mom and I are hosting an Engagement Brunch for Ashley! (Pics to follow!) Next weekend we are headed to Austin for Taylor's graduation from UT! We are so proud of him and can't wait to celebrate with the whole family.

Well, that's it for now! Have a great weekend and hopefully we'll be better at posting more often over the summer!

Johnson Update!

We haven't posted anything in a while so we thought we'd give you a quick update. Life is treating us well and we've been pretty busy over the last couple of months! Here's a few of the highlights...

• Kylie did EXCELLENT on her TAKS test and only missed one question! She also got straight A's on her last report card and was on the A-Honor Roll. We are so proud of her! She takes the math portion of TAKS next week and we know she will do amazing. We couldn't ask for a better student as our daughter!
• Jeff is facing this economy head on and has been looking for ways to expand his business. We have found some awesome opportunities that bring us hope for the future!
• Kasey is still moving right along at Dallas Fan Fares and celebrating her 2 year anniversary of being with the company. She also recently volunteered at the Winners for Life charity event (the charity she used to work for) and got to see many old friends and colleagues. Her birthday is just a week away and we look forward to celebrating the big 2-7 with our friends and family!
• Marley is as cute as ever - just eating, sleeping and playing. Couldn't we all be so lucky?
• Easter was laid back this year but we got to go to the "Gospel Brunch" at House of Blues with Tom & Courtney so it was a fun time. We just missed not having Kylie with us for the first time in a few years.

Well, that's it for now. Sorry for the lack of pictures but we promise to add some soon. Take care friends!!

Kylie's Slumber Party - Part One

Jeff making the Cookie Cake for Kylie - it turned out perfect! 

What a great Dad and Husband he is!

Mimi and Lauren watching everyone play Rock Band!  Mimi came over to help us with everything and we can't thank her enough!

Maddie, Lindsay, Kylie, Natalie & Grace eating pizza and having fun!

Elena, Mikael, Juliana & Lauren having fun too! 

Let the Games Begin...

First, the Mummy Game! Each team had to wrap their "mummy" and finish their role of toilet paper before anyone else. The girls had a blast and Jeff even got to play! 

They loved the "Freeze Dance" game.  A few of the girls were amazing!  Maddie was the champ that night and got to take home a small prize.

After the fun, we opened presents and had some yummy cookie cake.  Then we changed into our PJ's and played one last game.   The girls watched High School Musical 3 and went to sleep!

We survived our first big slumber party!!

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY KYLIE!

Kylie's 9th Birthday -continued!

Here is a video of Kylie opening Rockband on her birthday!  

Kylie's 9th Birthday!

Kylie had such a great birthday this year thanks to all of our friends and family! And...it's not over yet! She still has her slumber party on Friday to look forward to.  (Marley even joined in on the fun!) We hope you enjoy these pictures and we even have a video of her opening her big present from the family - - ROCKBAND! We had a blast playing it on Saturday and our family was the perfect "3 man band".  Kylie is so good at the drums and Jeff and I switched off between Guitar and Vocals.  (For those of you who have heard me sing...it's not pretty!)  Hope you all had a great Valentines! We certainly did and are thankful for our sweet Valentine...Miss Kylie!  

School Days - 80's Style!

Kylie came home last week and told us that she needed to dress up in 80's clothes... We were a little unsure of how to pull it off but then I remembered the old Bruce Springsteen shirt that I wore to a party a while back.  We thought you would like to see it!  She's here at the school assembly with a few of her friends.  Jeff and I thought it was pretty funny because these kids had no idea what the 80's were.  We also got a kick out of thinking that I was born in '82 and Jeff graduated from High School in '86.  Anyway, besides putting together last minute outfits, we've been busy with work and looking forward to Kylie's 9th Birthday party in a couple of weeks! We've also been dealing with the ice storm and Kylie's school was closed for the day.  Jeff and I worked from home so it was nice to have a change of pace.  Next week I'm off to Orlando for a meeting and Kylie and Jeff are going to the Daddy/Daughter Dance.  Should be a fun couple of weeks! It's also Meems' 76th Birthday on Saturday so we are going to stop by and say hi and give her some birthday hugs!    

Jennifer's Wedding

Last Saturday we went toone of my co-worker, Jennifer's Wedding. It was really fun for us to attend our first wedding since our own! It was at a vineyard in Grapevine. We had a great time and Jennifer was a beautiful bride! Other than the wedding, we've been busy with birthday parties and we finally took the Christmas decorations down! The house looks so bare. Work is busy and things are going great. That's all for now...
