The Beginning of April

We started off with a 24 hour stomach bug...I thought pregnant ladies didn't have to get the stomach flu? 

 We have our trailer all packed (all 20ft of it!) Big trailer, lots of stuff and lots of boxes getting packed up for this weekend! We are getting very anxious and excited!! This even has over 100 vendors and we only do so many markets a year so it's kind of like the finale for the semester and a lot of your self esteem goes into it. And back work...so we are ready to see how we do!!

 Jeter wanted to take a picture with his "dinosaur" which was really a plastic lizard but he is saying "cheese!" silly guy :)  Jeter is just about potty trained!! yay! And is growing up so fast! I love him to pieces!!!!

Sping Time!

This month we are getting ready for our market at the end of April! AND Emily is due to have her baby in a week! We have a very busy month ahead of us!

We had an addition to our family...2003 Chevy Silverado. A furniture/hunting truck. I'm glad Kameron is so persistent when he wants something because we got a pretty good deal and it will help us out a lot when it comes to furniture and other adventures!

 One of my projects recently...taking my hand at sewing, I really need to take a class but have no time, maybe next spring semester??

You have to keep yourself occupied on a trip to mesa right? Kids are funny!!!

 And riding on a four wheeler, well kind of.

 I asked Jeter to smile for me while eating his favorite, cottage cheese!...

 My mom plants a flower garden every year and it gives such a springy feel! (As long as the two boys don't pick all the flowers!)

Speaking of the boys, they have been getting along pretty good and are so funny to watch as they get older, helping each other, fighting with each other and playing together. Love them both!!

I don't know if this video will work but it's so cute! Jeter is copying Kameron on an old cell phone

Lots of different things going on and I go to bed exhausted every night. I am 18 weeks now and have felt some squirming around from our little guy. I feel like not having lots of down time is making this pregnancy go by really fast, I have mixed feelings. We also got to watch Sam open  his mission call to Dallas Fortworth, Texas! He leaves the beginning of June and we are so excited for him! It's going to be a busy, fun filled Summer for sure!

Jeter is getting a Brother!

We found out we are having another boy! Kameron and I are so excited and I think Jeter is going to be a wonderful big brother! Emily was so kind to put together a fun reveal waiting all day was painful but finding out together was so fun!

More Good News!!

In January I found out we are expecting!! We have been trying for some time and was on my fourth round of clomid. I know in my heart that things happen when they're supposed to. Sometimes it hurts when it doesn't go our way, but this all feels so right and I feel so blessed! We are so excited for Johnson baby #2 to come in September!!

I have been pretty sick but not as severe as with Jeter, and my belly is already showing at 11 weeks! Guess those baby stretched-out abs didn't get tightened very good since Jeter. But every things has been going well and just can't believe we get to be on this journey again!

Everthings Bigger in Texas

I painted this hutch for a lady and it turned out great! Something about dark wood under white is just always a classy look to me!

 My mom and I went to Fredrickberg Texas a couple weekends ago, a two night stay and a twelve hour drive all for a market! We shopped for new inventory and walked away with some cool new peices (that still need to be unloaded from the trailer) and some great ideas! So worth the drive and I am already excited for next time!!

 The weather was a little chilly so at the end of the day we had some southern comfort food of stew over buiscuts, i 'bout died and gone to heaven!!

 When we got home it was back to work! I helped Emily do this coffee table for her new little home, loved how it turned out! Dark wax just does the trick!!

 

Welcome 2013!

These pictures are all out of order but it's all about the holidays! We had a great Christmas and New Years, complete with Johnson family visiting, DeRusha traditions and watching Jeter celebrate his third Christmas! One down was Jeter was sick and than I caught it-and this was no ordinary 24 hr we have been sick since and are just coming around. Good thing we've able to lounge around without any obligations to see to!

My dad made Brown Bread, it's a real treat around here yummy!

 Christmas Pj's!

 The bouncy horse!

This was taken after new years but Jeter loves to connect things, here is the "helicopter fire truck"

 Out Shooting

 Kameron's big present this year was a new set of suits! Sadly I was too sick to go to church but he looked handsome!!!!

 Another random..Jeter's train being shared with Lou Lou

 We weren't able to see Cade and Caryn but we were sure excited for their gifts! I got the Annie Sloan work book! Awesome!!!

 Batting practice with Grandpa Russ!

This entire holiday season has been so fun! It always seems to go by so fast but I am ready to start new and see what this new year will bring!

DIY Pin Project December

 Okay! So December is flying by so I found a pin for fudge. Easy Fudge it said. Well I know I am not a real baker (I have a hard time following directions) So I thought I would try it out.

Well for those of you who don't know boiling sugar is an art. Not for the faint of heart. I did the best I could but in the end...FAIL! I know these would turn out yummy if the right person can make them, but that person is not me hence the disaster. But it was worth a shot!

 But for the last Pin of the year I can't go out like that! So here is a homemade Pizza and I am kind of cheating because it was Kameron's idea, and Kam's recipe but it was so yummy! And I helped knead it :)

 Delicious!

It has been fun recording a pin project each month for this Entire Year! I love being creative and trying new things! Can't wait for all the fun things 2013 will bring!
