Life happens SO fast these days...here's where we've been!

I can't tell you enough how fast time goes these days. I do know one thing, that I have never been happier in my life than I am now as a wife and a mother to two wonderful little girls. We are busy, and that's the way we like it. I keep telling myself that it's going to slow down. In actuality, it will never slow down and we've now decided to embrace the craziness.

As I lay my tired self down to sleep...I am lucky and my heart is full of love, eager to spend another day with my family.

So here's what we've been up to the past month......

My amazing grandfather drove 7 hours to meet his new GREAT granddaughter. Priceless.

Taylor and I attended my Mom's club getaway weekend in Rockaway Beach

We did a lot of this....

and Taylor really enjoyed all the snuggles from everyone

Bath time x 2

Bath time is so much more fun these days:)

"Soul Boy" reading...

These days Parker is pretty much reading books front to back... in her her "soul boy" language. What, you may ask is "soul boy" reading? Well, when you don't know some of the words, you simply insert "soul boy" to fill in the story and BAM, you have "soul boy" reading.

Little late...but happy 1 month Taylor!

Well, I'm a little late with this post, but I'm a little late to everything these days with two kiddos. Updates: Over 10lbs now and 22 inches long. She is finally on a sleep pattern at night. Only up twice with ab out 4-5 hour stretches. She is an amazing little nugget. Snuggles and smiles, thats what her day consists of...well and lots of pooping. Man I'v never seen a little one poop so much. TMI..anyways. Happy Fall to you all!!

xxoo The Johnsons

Love the falling over photos:)

Spooky Sprinkle and my favorite...HALLOWEEN

A couple of weeks ago, some of my closest girlfriends gathered to throw Taylor and I a "Spooktacular Sprinkle!" It couldn't have been more spooky, er...I mean special. Thank you to Rothie, Wexler and Lisa for all the time and effort put into all the little details! I loved it!!

On Halloween we ventured downtown with The Murphy boys and our friend Addy to Trick or Treat. So fun:)

Little pit stop for a little pumpkin spice latte

My little Jessie

It's the end of the night and all the trick or treaters are gone, my girls and I are in our Halloween pajamas....counting down the 364 days until this wonderful day returns.

MAN I love this time of year:)
