A New Christmas Tradition

These Kids belong in the Woods
Time to cut down the tree

This was a New Texas Christmas Tradition for the Johnson Family...Cutting down our Tree. Jesse & I had to over come the lack of snow, mountains & type of Tree....see we are from the Great NW(Washington State) & in the past Jesse & I would take our snowmobiles up into the mountain snow & cut down our PINE Christmas tree. On this day it was 65 degrees & the tree the kids picked out was a Texas breed Christmas tree-I couldn't tell you the type?

The Johnson's 2008 Christmas Tree

It took 3.5years

It only took 3.5years for big sister to do this to her little brother.

OK...he is still our boy- tackle those girls!

Future Bull Rider

Over the Fence in zero flat
Under the barb wire...piece of cake

In order to say hello to the Cows in our back yard.

Jon Cole asked Grandpa "Can you teach me how to ride Bulls?" We'll have to have Uncle Todd to do that one but hey....I think we have a future Bull rider in the family.

FAMILY SKATING

Grandpa came out for a visit and wanted to go Roller skating!
Tyeann raced Grandpa round the rink a few times. A 7 year old against a 67 year old.

Looky here....a boy and his father- probably won't see these legs in skates for another 20 years!

Tyeann is taking after her mother- not only in the roller skating aspect but in the picture taking!

CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!

Can you say Candy! thank you to everyone that attended my scrapbook party and ate half! One of these days things are going to catch up with me-I work out soo hard so I can eat all of this!
yep those are my kids! almost falling into the bags.

Tyeann wanted to be something scary this year so she picked the skull fairy but hey shes still a girl:) Jon Cole was hands down batman. Three mornings in a row after Halloween Jes and I were woken up by Batman-

Once His.....NOW Hers!

We bought this Dodge for Jesse on his birthday last year. With the high gas and the realization that with three gas drinking trucks(4x4 suburban, f250 Ford, 08 dodge) it just didn't make sense. Jesse was also missing his Ford....two months later while Jesse and Tyeann are in WA(I sell things when Jes is in WA) My big Green suburban sold. There are days I miss my monster- the Dodge lacks the adjustable peddles-did I mention it is a stick shift and I'm 5'1. needless to say I can't talk on the phone and drive now. Love the turbo and the rear window electric open and close. Can't go through the bank drive through anymore but hey that's less candy for the boy. Over all I love the Dodge and it's becoming my big red monster and hey if they ever make drivers of these big trucks have a CDL I'm set.
