Here we are. I am officially a "blogger". It's going to take some time for me to figure this out...please be patient.

We've had a crazy life so far this year. Here is a recap of what we've been up to.

1. We moved into my parents basement mid April. Currently looking for a new home.
2. Jessica had her first dance recital. We didn't know if she would actually "perform" on stage but she did great. She is our little dancer.
3. I totaled my car 2 weeks before I had a baby. Nobody was hurt! I was a little upset it didn't put me into labor. Oh well.
4. Not only are we looking for a new house but a new car as well.
5. My little sister is getting married this the 23rd of July. Jessica has been breaking in her wedding shoes. 6. We had girl #2 on June 25th. Reese Marie Johnson weighed in at 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19 1/2 " long. So much smaller than her older sister. She has been such a good sweet baby and we love her to pieces. 7. I am loving my husband more every day. He is the best dad and husband. I don't know what I would do without him. 8. On the 4th of July, only a week after Reese was born, Jessica turned 3. What a princess we have...literally!

I have a darling family and we've been very lucky to have my parents put up with us. Hopefully it won't be for too much longer.

That is us for now.

It will be fun to keep up to date with you guys. We need to get down and see Reese! Do you know when you plan on blessing her?

Welcome to the land of blogging; where you'll spend way too much time on your computer, worry about how many comments you're getting (or not getting), and take pictures of EVERYTHING you do JUST to blog about it!

Have fun!

By the way, Reese is so cute. Can't wait to see her in person. And you're lucky I've forgiven you for "stealing" my girl name! HA HA...kidding.

Of coarse I remember cats, cats, cats! I love that we go clear back to the 3rd grade! You introduced me to wearing black unitards to school! Yes you did. I remember boys always being in love with you. I remember we use to walk everywhere. We thought it was cool to walk to Smith's. I remember your mom's cookies. mmmmm. I remember the day you kissed C.J. Bateman. I remember when you got your drivers license and we would cruise in the Buick! Too many to list. I also remember lots of laughing and crying. Those were the days.
