Sunday Nights at the In-Laws

Because of the craziness of planning two weddings, Mike's mother enlisted the help of their cousin Natalie. She stayed at the Johnson's home for over a week, helping with planning, decorations and making all three of the bridesmaid dresses. Amidst all of the wedding hoopla, we were all able to set aside some good ol' family time by learning the art of Pole Dancing. Natalie is a pole exercising instructor (and yes, she is a member) and was kind enough to not only bring her pole, but let everyone have a try.
Here Mike is being taught by our pro, Natalie.
The correct way to slide down the pole...
and the not so correct way.
Here is how Mike ended up. He does get a gold star for a valiant effort!
Matt working on his Flagpole move. Not so bad, right?!?!
Travis doing his own moves. Don't you just love the black socks?
Even Dad got on and gave it a try.
Don't tell anyone, but I think he actually enjoyed it!
Steve actually held on the longest. Good job, Kid!
We even let Brayden try to do it. He may need some practice though.

Thanks goes to Natalie for such a fun Sunday evening. I do have to say it was kind of odd to see a stripper pole in my In-Law's living room. It was quite fun and crazy none the less!

Our Little Nigel

We have a new little addition to our family and his name is Nigel. He is only 8 weeks old and is an English Bull Dog and Pit mix. He is very mellow and very good with Brayden. He evenhas Mike wrapped around his little paw. He is the perfect pup for our little family!

My New Love


Today I got myself a little something. A gift from me, to me. A little self-indulgence, as you will. Today I bought myself a beautiful camera.

I love taking pictures. I carry my camera with me wherever I go, so I thought that it was only fitting to get one that I would love with all of my heart and soul. One that I could pour myself into and be able to capture every waking moment, especially of Brayden. He is my muse.

All I want in the world is to be a photographer. To hopefully one day start my own business and yet still be able to stay home with my son. I figure I only get to live once, and I have come to close to the end to not take any chances. That is what life is about. I thank my husband for working so hard for our little family. He encourages me to do what I want to do. He is my inspiration and I love him whole-heartedly.

Thank you Mike for allowing me to start this new adventure.
