This cute little boy is so funny; he makes me laugh all of the time. He has such a cute personality. This one night in particular he was watching me make dinner and then all of a sudden he started attacking the lettuce…it was hilarious! That was the night he decided he needs entertainment and will no longer hang out and watch because his hands are actually for something. It must be time to pull out the toys! I love this little guy.
Clay Boone Johnson just turned 4 months old. 4 months?!?! Where the heck did time go?! This sweet boy has me wanting to remember so much about him.
Clay, please stay little forever? I love you sweet baby boy! Now, let’s learn how to sleep through the night!
Willy Claus, Willy Claus, Little son of Santa Claus, hitched the reindeer to the sleigh, Willy Claus, Willy Claus, filling in for Santa Claus,
Cracked the whip and drove away,
“Giddy-up, Giddy-up”, Willy hollered “Giddy-up”
Driving Southward in the night,
Ting-l-ling, ting-l-ling, with the bells a jing-l-ling,
Willy soon was out of sight.
The girls were certain it wasn’t Santa Claus and possibly not an elf! So of course…he had to be Willy Claus! Jauncee sang this song at their Christmas concert and it is quite the catchy tune I think all of us have been singing it for a week straight! Fun Times!
Jeslyn asked Santa for a Violin and an American Girl Doll – Molly Macintire.
Jauncee asked Santa for a Violin too and the American Girl Doll Rebecca Rubin.
Clay, the only preference he probably has is something that will fit in his mouth!
I have so much to be thankful for…my wonderful, hard-working husband, my 3 beautiful children, my health, my home, my family, my friends, the gospel and the list could go on and on. It is such a great time of year, I just love that Thanksgiving falls right before Christmas, because we get to take the time to reflect on what means the most to us, and then fall right into the Christmas Season. What a truly amazing time! It’s one of my favorite times of the year! (Although I could do without all of the hustle & bustle this time brings!)
This little chubby guy has hit the 3 month mark. It has gone by too fast!
At least I can say that I have enjoyed every minute of it.
There are some things I want to remember about this sweet little boy. I need to write them down before I forget.
He is an alright sleeper…some nights are awesome, some nights are rough! He’ll get the hang of it someday! :)
He is 100% breastfed and is doing fantastic! My girls keep begging me to pump so they can feed him, I haven’t yet and maybe should for them but why interrupt his eating when he is doing so well.
I love his cute little head and fuzzy hair. I find myself rubbing it while he eats!
The girls still love him to pieces! They are both very motherly…sometimes too motherly!
He is the biggest stretcher and loves to exercise his legs. It is so funny to watch him.
He loves to cuddle and be held.
He doesn’t like his pacifier very well. Although he will take it for the girls sometimes!
He is a little chunker! Not sure what he weighs but I am certain it is over 14 lbs!
He loves to coo, gurgle and smile. He loves his daddy and knows his voice.
He is definitely a morning person. I can’t believe how happy he is when he wakes up. It definitely makes me forget about the rough night we may have had!
He is so precious and I am so thankful we have him.
Jeslyn played on a youth volleyball team the past few months. She had a lot of fun and learned many techniques. I was impressed with her improvement from the 1st game to the last. Good Job JES!
The girls were excitedly waiting for Halloween since the first day of autumn. We always decorate the house for fall to carry us through Thanksgiving. While we were hunting for all the fall decorations the girls came across the Halloween tote and couldn’t resist in bringing it out. They were entertained for hours-trying on every costume whether it fit or not. I was the mean mom this year that made them recycle “old” costumes. (I just don’t believe in spending $30 + dollars every year!) Jauncee changed her mind every other day…for the school parade she was a Bratz Cheerleader which worked out wonderfully because it was a costume that she could wear to school, then she wanted to be a witch and insisted on having a wig…which we found for a buck and lastly, the day of Halloween her final decision was to be Sleeping Beauty…she looked beautiful! Jeslyn wanted to be a Princess Vampire and never once changed her mind. Of course there were requirements—makeup, wig, teeth. I think she turned out to be ScArY...whatever she is! Our little guy Clay was a monkey! A cute little monkey that kept him nice and warm!
The girls had fun trick or treating and also enjoyed the trunk or treat in Soda that the local Businesses put on. It was a fun but super cold Halloween!
A couple of weekends ago we made a quick trip to Victor to check on the cows, work the calves and bring the bull home. It was a beautiful autumn day. Jauncee spent the afternoon playing with Tel and Jeslyn got to help. She is Dirk’s right hand man—pretty good help when she wants to be! And Clay got to right a horse with his daddy for his first time. All in all it was a was a quick trip but it was fun and totally worth the time being all together.
One Sunday afternoon in late September we went for a little drive up Cold Springs Canyon. The drive was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We all even went for a little hike! It was fun, I wish for more days like these.
