A Special family to me.

This is a very special family to me. A little weird for some, but "NORMAL" to me. These beautiful children belong to my 1st husband David and his beautiful wife Angela. We have been blessed with a loving relationship to co-parent our son Ethan. I know that most people do not have a good relationship with their ex spouses, but with the Grace of God we have managed. We have laughed, cried, honored and respected each other and their family. I hope that as the years pass, we are still this brave in our journey to co-parent our wonderful son. This family is a Godly family and has seen there share of sorrow. They have lost more than most will ever know. Both Angela and David have shown strength that I have little understanding of. They have shown faith and determination that leave me speechless. With this I have a love and respect for you both as a mom, dad, daughter, son and most of all as a loving Couple. I hope that our son is taking notes, so that he will grow to be a honorable man like both of his dads and will look for a wife like yours. Hugs to you both. Your are in my prayers!

Captain Adorable

This little outfit was Tabor's best friend Knox's. I can remember when little Knox wore this outfit. Man, they are all growing up way too fast!

Playing and Learning

This evening after dinner we set out to find some great places for pictures. We ended up in Fink park, across from UCO. I am learning how to work my camera, getting used to all the differnt setting. This time it was the F-stop. Kinda mind bottling;0)! lol Anywho, this is what I ended up with. Hope you enjoy!

Without my flash

I was wanting to play with my camera without the flash, so natural light it is. Stacy & I have always loved the old ice house building, and I wanted to get some shot of it to see what it would look like on film. SO, here are some of the pictures that I thought were good enough to put on here. What do you think?

Happy St Patricks Day

A day at the park!

We spent most of last night at the park. It was a wonderful day to be outside. The boys ran themselves ragged! Bedtime is alot easier when they are tired from playing outside.

Tabor smiling!

7 weeks old yesterday! He is smiling. Oh what a wonderful feeling as a parent when you know that your baby is smiling just for you. It makes my heart melt. I am in deep trouble when he gets older and worms his way out of trouble with this crooked little grin. All of his brother's have beautiful smiles, so I guess that it runs in the family. It seems that the world has came into focus for this little guy. He is paying attention to lots of details and follow me with his eyes as I walk across the room. He loves to look at his older brother when they talk to him. They are completely taken with him, that is until he learns to crawl and starts after toys. Tabor is sleeping most of the night, but must wake at least once for a feeding. (He has to keep the cheeks chubby.) He is growing so fast, it seem that I blink and he has changed from a newborn to a infant. Oh the joy that this little guy brings to this family!

So much like Dad!

Sweet and Cute!

I had to take a picture of this. They were getting along with no fighting!

6 Weeks old

Today my baby boy turn 6 weeks old. Here are some pics that Stacy and I took this weekend of our little one. He is the sweetest little guy. I have trouble with this whole growing up fast. It is an amazing gift to see all of my boys grow and I remind myself daily to enjoy the small stuff. I know that one day they will grow up and leave the nest, but I just can't think of that right now. I look at each one with pride and delight. I think the Lord everyday for the blessing that I have!!!!

1 month old

Tabor turns 1 month old today!!! Were has the time gone? It seems like yesterday that I was holding him in my arms for the 1st time. It is very bitter sweet that my babys are growing up so fast. I remind myself daily that I must hold on to every moment and cherish everyday things. The LORD has giving me some much more than I deserve, but I hold on to the gifts that he has giving me. Sometimes when the house is "crazy" and I can't get a moment to myself I think all I need is some peace and quite, but in the rare moments that I do get that it feels like a big part of me is missing. So, when the kids are scream and fight, I take a moment to give thanks to the LORD that he has giving me enough. And my soul is filled with love for all the gifts in my life. Sorry alittle off topic. Anyways, Tabor is starting to look around and actully see things now, and is getting more control of his head. He is sleeping most of the night. He loves bath time. He is the sweetest little baby. I could not ask for more.

Is your marriage fireproof?

The Love Dare~

Stacy & I watched a very good movie last nite. FIREPROOF is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. It will take you places you thought were long gone. It was such a wonderful and in sightful movie that I must plead with you to watch with your husband or wife. Watch it alone if they do not want to watch it. Kirk Cameron did such a amazing job in this movie. It makes you wonder how many families are saved with this movie. I know that it touched both Stacy and I in a way that we need to be touched by GOD. It is a perfect movie for Valentines day! I can not stress enough, WATCH THE MOVIE!!!!!!!

Tabor's 1st photo shoot!!!!

Tabor had his 1st photo shoot the other day at Ms. Amanda's house. He was a wonderful little boy for most of the pictures and all in all it was a great time. With his best friend Knox giving him pointers all went well. Ms. Amanda is truly gifted when it comes to lots of things, but we saw her amazing gift in photos. Not only is she great at getting the right shot, but she has the patients of a saint when it comes to my children. I don't know how she does it. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to do it again. Now, we need to get Ms. Amanda and Ms. Becky together for another photo shot and get some more wonderful pics. Thanks Ms. Amanda for the wondrful pics and I can't wait to do it again. You are the best!!!

Tabor

I will get more pics up asap. Things are going well here, just not much time for posting. He is growing like a weed. He is already 9 lbs and 22 in long. He is the best baby, as long as he is feed and clean diaper. This is one of those baby that make you think you should have 10 more... LOL. I will get more pics up soon.

Introducing Tabor Morris Johnson

Tabor was born 1-13-09. Weighing in at 8 pouds 4 oz. 21 inches long. He is perfext in every way. His brother all love him beyond word. Ethan loves to hold and kiss on him. Spencer was amazed that he had hair, but no teeth. He did ask me if "we can take him home with us, Forever?" Gus, is completely in love with him. He is very proud and excited to get his chance at being a "big Brother. He asked "can we keep him? I love him, he is cute!"

And a Thanks to my very best Friend Amanda for all her help with the herd. It means so much to us that we know we can always count on her for whatever we need. Love you guys!

My shadows!

This Friday we took the boys to play at the school playground! It was a must, they need to run off lots of steam. They had a blast playing and climbing. I think that Stacy (a kid at heart) had the most fun. It was nice to just get out of the house in some fresh air, before all the cold hit! This picture was Stacy idea. It was a perfect time, just when the sun started to go down. It is kinda silly, but was fun never the less. Oh yeah, the large one on top is my shadow, at 38 weeks... Yeek, I never thought I would make it this far along!! Enjoy, but please don't laugh to hard!!!

Fun at the Omniplex

We spent one day of winter break at the Omniplex. We had a blast. Stacy, Corbin, & Ethan all got the chance to ride a segway for the 1st time. It was lots of fun to watch. We also had a chance to see the new exhibit Odyssey's SHIPWRECK! It was amazing. The boys all thought that it was very cool. Lots of info on Pirates, which as you can see the little ones loved. They also had the Hurricane Experience, which is a big tube that you stand in and experience hurricane winds up to 80 miles an hour. The boys just could not get enough of that. We had a wonderful day that ended with a trip to the gift shop, The little ones just had to have lots of Pirate gear!
