Birthday Beauty

I am lucky enough to say that this little beauty is my darling little sister & BEST FRIEND! I love her like CRAZY!! Jennifer is such a joy in my life! She is on her way to CALIFORNIA this very second ( for Jake's Roping )...and will be staying with us for a while!! I AM ECSTATIC TO HAVE HER HERE!!

Miss Priss I LOVE YOU DEARLY!! I can hear your sweet little voice as a child saying May 18th, when we asked you when your birthday was! You learned it at such a young age...you're rather smart I must say! I have so many memories of primping and showing you off everyone! I have always been so proud of you! You are not only the most beautiful gal I know, you're pretty darn rad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY!

Tailgates & Tractors

We Johnson's had ourselves a might fine lunch on the tailgate of daddy's pickup today! Followed by some tractor rides! I thought it would be a nice little treat to grace him with our smiley faces and a yummy warm lunch for change!

Not at all Glamorous...just us enjoying this beautiful day!

These Boys

Melt My Heart!

We may not take a perfect picture....but Perfection is what they are to me! I had a wonderful Mothers day, and was showered with lovely gifts. But really no gifts were needed! Each snotty kiss, messy hug, I love you, & cry for me when they are hurt, mean more than any material thing on earth! Now there have been a couple "DIAPER SITUATIONS" than have me entitled for THE PERFECT BROWNIE PAN {as seen on TV} . And maybe a few wardrobe disasters due puke down my dress, that might call for some new pearls, and maybe having to learn how to get permanent marker off of the hardwood floor, & figuring out how to remove hot pink finger nail polish out of the carpet that may have me due for a good foot rub! All of these things I did receive, and am extremely tankful! BUT TRULY nothing could compare to the sweet little ways my boys let me know they love me! The little everyday things they do are what make me the happiest! Being their mother is the most amazing gift in the world!

We had our Mothers Day festivities at Sallie And Matt's house this year! Last year we had it at our home ( I was pregnant ). This year at Sallies ( SHE IS PREGNANT!) Wonder if she will add to the troop of boys or add a little girl to the family! We will have to wait and see! I CAN"T HANDLE SURPRISES...but I guess I'm going to have to :)

Congratulations Sallie & Matt!

The most precious handmade plate, Drew made for me at Pre-School! I will save this FOREVER! I LOVE IT!

I also Love my mother, who I wasn't able to be with this Mother's day! I am one of 5 children and am now the only child in my family here in California! It's been a pretty emotional subject for me lately, I'm missing my family so much! I'm pretty sure I'm OVER being a loner! I'm used to wild, busy, rushing from my family to the in-law's make your head spin kind of holiday's!

Thank goodness I do have the world most amazing mother-in-law who I love very much! Without her as a stand in...I think I might loose it!

I'M HOPING Today's Tornado in Oklahoma City touching down 1 mile from my mother & sister will scare them right out of that Dreadful place and right back to me! Wish me luck in my hopes!

Jake's Roping

Six months ago today I lost my big Brother! He meant so much to me, as he did many others! In his memory & in hopes to help his boy's in the future, 2 of best friends along with their family's and countless others have been working hard to host The Jake Lomas Memorial "Rope for Jake's Boys". It's a Roping along with an auction both Live & silent, as well as music, BBQ and numerous activities for children. Basically it will be a FUN FAMILY EVENT. It is coming right along and will be here before we know it!

The Support is unbelievable & almost overwhelming! This is just another example of the generosity of the people who are doing what they can to make this event a huge success!

The owner of Dillion's Bar & Grill is hosting a Pre-Party to Kick-Off the Roping, since it is becoming such a HUGE Event! They are donating back all of the proceeds form the cover charge to they boy's Fund! So this is where I'll be, and I hope you will too! They serve yummy food, and the band is Awesome :) I'm really looking forward to the roping if you can't tell! My family will soon be here....and I'M SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AS WELL!!

Just Hanging Out

This rainy winter had Jess at home A BUNCH...and now the SUNSHINY WEATHER is here just like I asked! Maybe I should be careful of what I wish for because it has Jess working 7 days a week! So it's pretty much just me and the little guys for the last few weeks! We haven't been up to much, just hanging out really! We do have Jam packed weekends from here on out, hopefully Jess can accompany the Family! And hopefully Jess will remember that this Sunday is Mother's Day and not be working! I'm anxious to see if he has anything up those sleeves of his, since I did give him another son this year! I sure have something pretty spectacular up mine for my mother...whom deserves the world if you ask me! This year has been the worst for our family, so for our mother my siblings and I have come up with something I'm sure she is going to LOVE!

Wedding Anyone?

A shout out was given to Trew Luv yesterday on the fabulous blog Wedding Tulle! One I was completely giddy about I must admit!

Check it out by clicking here

Trew Luv is growing, and is not just for babies & children! Wedding orders are RAPIDLY coming in, and Trew Luv can be spotted at at least a couple of wedding each weekend this wedding season, throughout Northern CA! And I thought Easter kicked my booty! Bridesmaids, Brides, Baby showers, Birthday Gifts...you name it, they are somehow calling me!! AND I LOVE IT!

Jennifer, get here quick! I NEED HELP!

Today...

Was another blasted rainy day!

Is is ever going to turn nice out? But, besides that TODAY Trent turned 11 months old! One more month and we will have a one year old on our hands! I can't believe it! Hopefully the weather will be nice by then...because I am in the works of planning the most darling Carnival themed Birthday bash!

Here he is waking up from his nap!

And what an extra long nap it was! He napped for 3 solid hours! That has to be a record breaking nap in this house! But I am EXTREMELY grateful for it! That amount of peacefulness made it possible for me to finish up, the record breaking amount of Trew Luv pieces that have recently been ordered! It is completely mind boggling to me how well this flower business is treating me! Here are some of the treats I've had the pleasure of making!

Don't they look amazing when they find their home, on a sweet little baby's head? I know the coffee table shots I take here do them no justice!
