Johnson Family

Que Paso?

2011-07-14T15:28:00.015-06:00

Everything in this update starts after the 1st of the year as we are in the process of moving again (and everything is packed away from last year). Yeah the owners of our current rental want their home back for their daughter. Poop!

In the year since my last update, there have been a lot of celebrations and happenings going on with the Johnson family!

Isaac turned 7 this year and doing wonderful with Grammy and Grampy. Of course he is going to be going into the 2nd grade! He's an amazing reader and loves participating in Kempo Karate. He and Grammy are both blue belt and continue to grow and compete. They recently returned from a seminar in Vegas baby! Haven and Isaac are the best of friends and at times very much like brothers! a lil too much sometimes they have to be separated! The arguing is definitely out of love though=)

Haven had his first dentist appointment this year and did great!

"Guess what mama? NO cavities!"shopping can be fun...and boringWe love our road trips and even got to the mountains a couple times this year!We love 3D movies!and spending time with dada.We spent Valentines day together as a family!
Myron enjoys making french toast (its the only thing in his repertoire) but very yummy!And the boys are both mobile! Mecai is ready to take his first steps any day now.Mecai is the king of the stairs...both up and down! (mama couldn't be prouder)Haven is the self proclaimed...He really hasn't had any challengers :) But Mecai says he'll be up for it in a year! He has to train.Yeah my baby is 1yr old now and is all smiles =)

His birthday theme was Sesame St. babies and he loved every minute!

Grandpa and Nana came...

So did Grampy and Grammy.... and Isaac...

And Auntie Jasmine, Uncle Austin and Taylan.

There were bubbles, chalk drawing and

four square.

and of course goodies! Carnitas, beans, rice, guacamole, salsa, and Cake and Ice cream!

Mecai got a lil "chocolate" faced.

Bottom line, my baby turned 1!

This summer has been really hot and we are defintely greatful to have the a/c. But still enjoy a quick run through the sprinklers on those stifling days.

4th of Juy this year was spent with the neighbors, we saw Fort Carsons show on the 3rd and the neighbors did an amazing show on the 4th, they even made a "quick" drive to Wyoming for the special occasion!And the display was right here on the street, in front of the house.The boys had issues with the loud bangs, but really enjoyed the show!

Haven turned 4 this July 11th, and boy was it fun! We celebrated with family on the 9th, and he saw his first movie in a theatre, I bet you can't guess what he saw... Cars 2, Really?!? You didn't guess...we went to the early showing, had all the treats of popcorn and drinks, and then a party back at the house. Again everything seemed to be cars themed, the cake, his attire, the gifts!

His first big boy bike with training wheel, of course cars theme! ( and don't worry you worry warts out there, he has a helmet now that he wears everytime =)

Looks like he's posing for an episode of cribs!On his actual big day we took him to play at Chuck-E-Cheeses, you know where a kid can be a kid!

He had a great time and so did Mecai!

I'm so sorry, but the time seems to get away from me now that there are 2 of them. I will try to update more often, and will definitely get one up after the big move at the end of this month! Please keep us in your prayers for not only a good home, but for a good job opportunity for Myron! We have a lot of stress on us right now , and know God has it all in his hands, we just need to be still!

2010-10-10T16:16:00.015-06:00

An update on the Johnson family!Since Baby Mecai has been on the scene, we have been really sleepy! Luckily all the boys take a nap at the same time so mommy gets one too!Isaac graduated from Kindergarten at Pinello elementary. We are so proud of him and all his accomplishments...including reading!I also graduated this year! I now have my Masters of Education and am a licensed teacher in the state of Colorado. I recvd. an offer to teach 5th grade at the same school that I did my student teaching, but with the new little one and my big boy not in school yet, I have decided to stay home because the boys are only little for so long.And because they were so proud of their little girl, my mom and dad gave me this Trailblazer as a graduation gift! It is an excellent car for our family fully loaded with a/c! (which we hadn't had in a few years so woohoo)The 4th of July was a great celebration at my parents house, but there were no fireworks this year :(We celebrated my big boy's 3rd Birthday at Chuck-E-Cheeses! He had an excellent time with Grammy, Grampy, Isaac, Nana, Grandpa, Auntie Jasmine, Uncle Austin and cousin Taylan. That's right! Auntie Jasmine in preggers! and we are expecting our little Nephew Taylan in November!We had been thinking about buying a house but that was not in God's plan at this time.

So we just ended up moving into another rental house for the time being and hope to build a home from the ground up in the next year! Myron and I celebrated our 8th anniversary, and of course baby Mecai came with us since he is still on the Momma Milk!

Myron has been blessed to have such a wonderful job the last couple of years, but his contract is coming up and we are constantly praying that the Lord will do his will and guide us to where He wants us to be.

One of our favorite past times is going to the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo and just walking around. Haven likes to take his animal friends and show them the zoo animals. He has gotten really good at naming the animals and their babies. However things changed in August.
I had to have surgery on both of my feet at the end of August and was bed ridden for almost 3 weeks. The boys really enjoyed this time because mommy was no more than 3ft away at any given time. Myron set up the hide-a-bed and there was little activity for me.

Thats most of the big events and here are some excellent pics:

This is Mecai's first cereal, oatmeal of course!My merry men!My breakfast birthday at IHOP! Yummy! :opMy baby boy during his tummy time; look how strong those neck muscles are!!!Brotherly Love!Both my boys enjoy story time!

The "Baby Mecai" also known as the "Carlton"

What a looker!

Welcome Mecai Christopher Johnson

2010-05-20T18:20:00.004-06:00

Mecai was born May 4, 2010 at 10:40 am.I started having contractions about 4:30 am and by 7am they were 4 minutes apart. Daddy came home from work and took us to Memorial. I got an epidural immediately by Dr. Anderson who just so happens to be the husband of Dr. Ridnour my OBGYN. So we had the married couple taking care of us. The epidural was amazing! I couldn't feel a thing and they had to tell me when I was having a contraction so I would push =)Mecai came into the world 8lbs 15oz and was 21 and 3/4 in long! He was definitely a big boy!

We are at home now and recovering just fine! Thank you for all the prayers and blessings!

2010-04-25T13:28:00.004-06:00

Our Family is about to get a little bigger! Any day now our baby should arrive and we are all super excited! Especially DaddyHaven enjoys taking care of his "lil brother"and we have even been checked on by "dr. haven"...he says, "All good!"The kiddos fom Iowa came to visit in February while Elaine and Chris celebrated their anniversary, and all the cousins had a great time!So we are all set to go. Clothes are washed, diapers are ready, car seat is clean, and bedding is set to go~ and Haven even graduated to a big boy bed and relunctantly gave up his crib for little brother!
We'll update everyone when the big day arrives!

2009-11-13T13:28:00.019-07:00

Another update in the lives of the Johnson's! Haven turned 2 on the 11th of July! Mommy and Daddy bought him a swing set for the backyard...it took ALL morning to put it together! But was well worth the wait according to Haven =)

He had a wonderful party at Chuck-E's... though maybe not as much fun as Daddy!

He was definitely blessed with lots of fun toys. And when I say fun I mean noisy!

Haven is getting to be such a little man. He has a beautiful smile,when he chooses to share it, and he has a personality that shines!

With age he has even learned how to ride his tricycle! He is definitely a safe driver.

The kids visited from Iowa in July and we all had a marvelous time. We did all sorts of fun stuff...

We celebrated the 4th of July....

We went fishing,

There was Garden Of the Gods

And Cheyenne Mtn Zoo too!

Haven went on his first camp trip that included a boating trip with Uncle Ed, Aunt Becca, Samuel, and his friend

and lots of fun with Cousin Isaac!

There was tons to celebrate in August! Like Birthdays

Grampy's!

and Grammy's!

Then we celebrated with Jasmine at her Bridal Shower! We had a marvelous time at Biaggios Italian food was scrumptuous!

ALL the family was here to celebrate her big day.

The Grandma's, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and all the loved ones came from all over the US and St. Thomas too.

Thats right lil J is now married! To Austin Lewis. It was a beautiful ceremony at Peterson AFB and a lovely reception followed at The Cheyenne Mtn. Resort.

There was much fun to be had....Especially by Daddy who finally let loose and enjoyed his little sister's wedding...in his Jordan's!

Daddy had also gone to Chicago in August and broke his nose...this was the corrective surgery that he had to get in September....I didn't even recognized my own hubby!His best friend TJ, more like a brother, came to visit from Texas with his wife Sharonda and we had fun spending time with them. We are soooo grown up now!Then of couse we celebrated Mommy's 28th birthday at Chili's it was a great day....

but lets not dwell on this...

Our happiest and most exciting news....Baby Johnson #2 is due to arrive May 15, 2010! We are so excited and Haven definitely can't wait to be a big brother! =)

More to come!

2009-06-07T15:04:00.012-06:00

A lot has happened in the Johnson household! Mommy has been so busy at work, that updates have become obsolete. Almost an entire year since my last one, and boy has it been an eventful year! Well lets go back....

Christmas was an amazing time of year...we are still in our beautiful home and we were blessed to be able to spend time with family! Not only one side but both sets of parents live in town so all were joyously seen.Haven was a proud member of the "Baby Dedication" at church, basically saying that our church family, and immediate family, alongside Myron and I, will help to rear him in the ways and paths of God!

Haven has grown in leaps in bounds! He is so much like his daddy, but totally a momma's boy.

He has had quite a few 1st's this past year...

First time eating ribs was a joy to daddy's heart!

Successfully accomplished and mastered the stairs...with an occasional set back...or two.

Learned how to conserve energy...

No more bottles, "big boi" cups now...

Brush his own "bunnies"

And wants "baf" everyday.We recently adjust his crib into a big boy bed, so he is more independent.

He loves to help mommy with many a task...

Especially when it comes to home cookin...I mean eating...

And he has learned many new exciting things...

The delightful entertainment of the Wii

The satisfaction of reading

The aptitude for multi-tasking

And how to simply enjoy a sunny day! A lots been happening with daddy too...He got a long contract job where he was able to get his TS reinstated. So the opportunities for better jobs are light in the tunnel now. This wonderful job progress even allowed mommy to stay at home, and start back to school. Working towards my Masters in Education has been a blessing, as it has really helped me to focus on my goals. In February I was able to accept a long term sub job at King elementary! I worked with 5th and 6th grade reading and math. I enjoyed the experience but prefer staying at home with my honeys.

How time flies!

2008-09-07T20:51:00.011-06:00

There have been some amazing and wonderful things happening in the life of the Johnson's.

1st of all we are thankful that Daddy is doing better after having to get 4 stitches in his head. (Lets just say bad judgement after getting off work and being a little too excited!)

2nd Mommy went back to school! That's right mommy is getting her Masters in Education! After several years of substituting I found that I really love being with students, and want to make a difference in their young lives. So I started my first class in August, and it is done now passed with flying colors! Woo hoo!

Haven is a growing boy!

He eats yummies all by himself!

He has teeth that need brushing, and

is a full time bundle of joy!

Oh and he is a forward-facing driver now! (heehee)

Yikes, between being a full time mommy, cleanning house, doing laundry, substituting part time, and home-schooling Isaac (preschool) Mommy is super duper busy and tired!

And last but not least, Haven has arrived! He is now an official walking toddler! He started taking multiple steps unassisted this morning Sept. 7, 2008. I just can't believe how much he is growing. I love him so much and he is mommy's lil man ! I know he has to grow up, I just don't know if mommy can handle it.

And all the family is doing well too. Momma J (Nana) is still working on her associates degree, and Daddy J (Grandpa) is doing great too. Jasmine and Austin are wonderful too!

Grammy and Grampy are great too. My mom is still preparing for her MS 150 (miles) next month (bicycling). She s doing amazing and I am so proud of her! My dad is still supportive as ever, just wants the best for his family and does all he can to make sure we have what we need. Lori still needs prayer for her health, and family, so all and any prayer for her is welcome. And Granny too. She is preparing for another Birthday! Woohoo, what a woman!

I'll try to do more updating more often but there you go have a great God blessed day!

Haven's Birthday Party!

2008-07-09T18:16:00.007-06:00

We celebrated Haven's 1st Birthday can you beleive it?!? On Sunday we had all the family over for a great party at our house. The celebration took place nearly a week early so that all the cousins from Iowa could be a part of the big event! The King of the Grill prepared hamburgers and hotdogs. Mommy and Grammy made cole slaw, potato salad, bbq beans, jello and so much more. The best part was the cake... Auntie Elaine made from scratch the most amazing monkey cake! Haven had no complaints!There was eating, and playing and Haven was blessed with wonderful gifts But best of all...there was family!

And I'm not so sure there will be a lot of sleeping going on for awhile!

Major Update!

2008-06-29T16:10:00.009-06:00

There is so much to update you all on! Let's start with ... Mother's day!

Mommy celebrated her first mother's day with Haven outside the belly! We had a great time at Nana's and Grammy's.

Mommy got lots of flowers from Grammy, Auntie Lori, and Nana.

Haven got me a beautiful card and we ended up having chinese for dinner...mommy's favorite.

Haven's also now apart of the "mobile world" he has his own signature crawl of half scoot half crawl...it's pretty hillarious to watch. Also cousin Ryan graduated from Widefield High School class of 2008! Go cousin Ryan! We just fininshed celebrating Father's day! Papa got a great charcoal grill and bbq set!

Grammy and Grampy are doing great! Grammy is getting ready for a 150 mile bike ride for M.S. down in San Antonio TX in October. It's amazing to see her preparing for such an amazing cause. And if anyone would like to sponsor her ride or just learn more about M.S. go here---> http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/TXHBikeEvents?pg=personal&fr_id=9356&fr_id=9356&px=5041534

By the way did I mention my mobile child!

Grampy went to go get 5 of the 7 Iowa Kids on June 16 and they get to spend three weeks here! Fun for everyone! There were Zoo trips Water Parks Sleep overs and fun in the sun!

Happy Easter

2008-03-25T14:11:00.002-06:00

Happy Easter to all! This was the first Easter without all of our family! Myron's parents were at the very sad funeral of Myron seniors little brother Amp (Anthony) in Greenwood MISS. My parents went to Iowa to visit Elaine and the kids. We spent a very calm Easter Sunday together as a family. We went to service at Pikes Peak Christian Church. Then back home for photo ops. With his little basket, and together. We had a wonderful Easter dinner of pork chops, assparagus, mashed potatoes, salad and mango martinis. We had a wonderful Easter together celebrating the resurrection of our Lord!

March Madness (without all the b-ball)

2008-03-22T16:09:00.001-06:00

Haven had his first big boy trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and boy did he have a good time. On March 1,2008 we journeyed to the zoo to enjoy an afternoon of animal fun. With the very generous free passes from Grammy and Grampy we spent several hours walking around in the warm sunshine looking at lions, monkeys, giraffes, and even the baby gorilla that was teasing all the adult gorillas by whacking them on the head and arms.

Haven is gettting to be such a big boy! Here he is spending time in his crib while Papa (aka paparazzi) continuously takes pics of his lil man!
Haven loves playing with his many toys...this is his little house
His bouncer, music maker and feet rattles...His own manly remote...

And his wee walker.We are sooooo blessed in so many ways...Daddy got a new job that should last at least a little while, Mommy is able to stay at home several days a week, but still works 1 or 2 times at one of the Widefield schools.
We get to spend precious time together that every mother dreams of very get to experience, I am proud to say I am a stay at home mom!
An Myron also knows our many blessings and is happy to get to spend his fun time with Haven too!

February Fun!

2008-02-27T15:30:00.002-07:00

After moving into the new house we get to spend a lot of time together! God has blessed us by giving Daddy a job where he can come home for lunch! And then in the afternoon we get to go to the park just around the corner from our home. And the afternoons have been absolutely beautiful, so Mommy and Haven have been getting out for walks too!
Haven has had a lot of firsts in the new house like oatmeal!

And he is just happy that all of his friends came with us to the new house!

Haven's new little home!

2008-02-05T20:11:00.001-07:00

Lil Sir now has a home to roam!

His space to be free has just about trippled!

He has an enormous room to sleep, play and be changed! It's like his own personal fitness club! With mommy as his personal trainer he uses wonderful state of the art equipment like the bouncy seat and swing... which can definitely wear him out...

He dines in the worldly renound Cafe de Momi...where the head chef (moi) prepares his every meal.

He may choose to lounge infront of the fireplace...

take a nice dip in his froggy sauna (I mean tub)...

or even just enjoy some solidarity in his 2nd bedroom

(also known as mommy and daddy's room).

Sometimes he even spends a lil time with the other members of the club...like daddy...they enjoy a lil relaxation (daddy's on the couch and Havens by the fireplace).

Haven and mommy enjoy some bonding time too! Mommy's his #1 girl!

The house is his own 24 Hour Fitness.

(doin the "water spinkler")

Look at that muscular little frame! He must get it from papa!

Haven enjoys every minute...he says it's worth every penny! (however he pays in kisses for his lifetime membership)

PRAISE BE TO GOD!

2008-01-09T11:39:00.000-07:00

Thank you Jesus for blessing us in so many ways this year! 1st Myron was blessed to have found a job 4 days before his current contract expired! He'll be working out at Fort Carson for another short contract, but we pray it will be continued after the 90 days! Now God has helped us to find a house! We have been looking for about 2 months and thought we had found a perfect home off of Powers...but that was not God's plan for us! That house was quickly rented to another family...and even though we were crushed I continued to look for houses. So at the end of December we found the perfect one! This beautiful 2 story home is not only within our budget but it is perfect for our little family.

It is located near both of our jobs, and we are only a 3 minute drive from our church!There's a beautiful gas fireplace and a wonderful kitchen to create some of my delicious dinners! There's 3 bedrooms upstairs and a unfinished basement for storage. These beautiful windows are like 12 feet high and bring a lot of natural light into the house! The back yard is going to be great for Haven when it gets a little warmer outside! Especially when he starts totting around! We are so excited and can't wait to start moving in at the end of the month! Please pray for a safe and easy transition!

God Bless,

Christie

Merry Christmas

2007-12-26T13:23:00.000-07:00

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus!

We are so blessed this Christmas Season! We have both sides of our families in town. So we began a tradition the year Myron and I were married. We start off by going to Christmas Eve service at Pikes Peak Christian Church (our church home). And this year was particularly wonderful because Myron didn't have to work! He began a new job today and so no work on Christmas Eve! After a beautiful service we headed over to my mom and dad's house for a delicious Christmas Eve dinner! The theme (yes we do themes at my mom's house) this year was Italian! yum! We had meatball subs, and a very yummy alfredo casserole. However, this was no time to be giving Haven red sauce so this was his first meal of green beans...

which didn't seem to catch his taste buds...but then...

they got better! we took a few pictures..(these must be mommy and Haven's presents....we've been very good!)

Then every year we celebrate my nephew Ryan's Birthday! He turned 18 this

year....yes I am getting old when I can say my nephew is 18...yikes...This is strategically timed so that we get birthday cake on Christmas Eve! We then spend time helping the "children" to write their last minute letters for Santa.

Then it's off to bed off to bed...for the children.

This is to give Santa ample time to set up any gifts that may have "some assembly required".

Then before we know it Mommy is waking everybody up at dawn because Santa has come!

Oh Grampy this is no time to sit down we have wrapping paper to play withActually I'm feeling a little sleepy..Yep time for nappy with daddy.But wait we still have to go to Grandpa and Nana's House!We must have been super duper good this past 5 months!We show up to Grandpa and Nana's around 10am, and this year we have a wonderful surprise....a white Christmas....lots of snow on the roads. Austin and Jasmine had an expedition to track on their way to Grandpa's too!It took us nearly 4 hours to open everything up...why because we had to break a couple times for food prep and daddy had to run all the way home for more video tape! It's hard to remember everything! But we had a wonderful time at Nana's and so many lovely toys to play with! but first another bottle...And of course what Christmas Day is complete without Christmas Dinner! Go Nana!

After all that food and toys and playing...time to tucker out.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnite!

Myron's Birthday!

2007-12-07T19:06:00.000-07:00

Halloween 2007!

2007-11-02T21:48:00.000-06:00

The studliest little man there is!For Halloween this year we celebrated more than ever! We began our joyful harvest season at our apartment complex party. They were great, they held a part Friday the 26th of October for all the residents. They paid for pizza, and candy, we played charades and even wrap the mummy! It was so much fun and Haven tuckered out before we even left!This year Grammy grew Haven his own little pumpkin. A ghost pumpkin that actually grows white. Then I spent almost 3 hours decorating/carving the lil sucker! I found a pattern on the Internet of the sweetest lil ghost I could find and then spent forever with one of those lil carvers cutting every lil detail! But it was worth it for Haven's first Halloween!

Then on Halloween Day we headed over to Memorial Hospital where Grammy works, because her department threw a wonderful monster bash! There were yummies for the mummies! and lots of candy for the rest of us. I made some festive cupcakes for the occasion and Grampy even put his handy work to the test when he built a cute pumpkin for the bean bag toss! We had a wonderful time and walked out with our fair share of goodies!
Then for Halloween night Grampy, Grammy, Haven, Isaac and I went out to the streets and got an entire bag of candy for all to share... and share we did......the great sugar crash of 2007!

First snow!

2007-10-21T14:20:00.000-06:00

Here's a little clip of the most handsome lil sir!

Today Colorado Springs recvd. our first snow fall and Haven is quite in awe of it. We spent the day in our pjs watching movies, and I even enjoyed making a very yummy apple crisp. Daddy has to work so we pray he gets home safely!

Look who's getting bigger!

2007-10-18T15:47:00.000-06:00

Haven is growing so much. In the few short months of his life he has gone from 7lbs. 20 in. to 10 lbs. 8 oz. He is the joy of my life. I can't get enough of him. By God's blessing I am able to be a stay at home mommy who is there for Haven's every need. Recently I did start working 1 day a week as a substitute for Widefield District 3. And Myron has been blessed to work out at S.A.F.B. God has provided us a home, food, and a loving family. We hope to eventually be able to afford a house, but for now our 2 room apt. is adequate for us. We are looking forward to the holidays and can't wait for Haven to understand them!

Go Cardinals!

Daddy and Haven enjoying a lil shut eye!

Yell it from the roof tops!

Oh those Bronco's!

Here's looking at you Kid!

The Briarhurst Manor

Those are some good lookin' boys!

Smiles and laughs a lot.

Got to be safe!

A little manly time with the remote.

Enjoying a lil bouncy seat.

Happy Harvest time!

Those are some nice melons, I mean pumpkins!

The newest member!

Can you believe this tummy!

2007-06-19T20:49:00.000-06:00

We took some pics for Baby Haven to have when he grows up he's actually in there!

8 months prego baby!

It's a Boy

2007-03-13T11:32:00.000-06:00

We are having a boy! A precious baby boy will be brought into this world on August 1, 2007.

If you turn your head to the left .....he's mooning you! HAHA!

I am growing bigger and huger every day and it's amazing to me that there is a baby in my belly.

The doctor says all is well with baby boy and my morning sickness has passed. The only real big change is how tired I am and well daddy is too with all the 2 am runs to 7-eleven for Reese's peanut butter ice cream!

Time for a lil Family!

2006-11-28T20:20:00.000-07:00

On November 7 we found out that we are to be blessed with a tiny bundle of joy in about 8 months. We are so excited and and Myron is more than a proud daddy to be he's excited about having a little one to take care of. God has blessed us with this baby and even though he/she was not planned they will be more than loved but also cherished!
