Merry Christmas

Many things have happened since the last post. I'll try to be more consistent, but it is easier to Facebook:)
First bit of family news- Ashlee and Wyatt are expecting another baby! She's due July 31st. Should make for an interesting weekend, Arin is getting married July 30th. Victoria is engaged. His name is Jacob and he's a great guy. I think they plan a winter wedding (next year). Cole is a daddy- Philip Cody Dean Stephens was born September 20th. He's beautiful too:)
Carson will be 2 in March. He's the most brilliant and beautiful baby ever. Yes, I'm biased, but it is also a fact.
Daddy and Momma have both been in the hospital twice each since the middle of October. Mom has what is called 'drop attacks'- if she sits too long her blood doesn't circulate into her legs well enough. When she stood up to walk, down she goes, passing out. EEG and CT scans are clear. They adjusted meds and she seems to be better. Daddy had severe puking and dehydrated. They gave him 3 bags of IV fluids both trips. The good thing about the first trip to Hillcrest was they did all the heart tests on him. He's in pretty good shape there. He takes stomach meds now and his appetite is finally improving.
Zoey started pre-k. She's the smartest kid in the class. (really) The triplets are 4 and Baby Charlie is 2. They go to preschool too. They are keeping in the Johnson greatgrandkid tradition of also being the smartest kids in their class.
Beth has been busy making quilts. She should enter them in contests or something. They are gorgeous. She made Clint and me pairs of cashmere socks to wear when we are on the bike. Cashmere is about the warmest thing you can put on your body. I haven't gotten to ride lately- we haven't made many of the Southern Cruiser rides because of other things we've had to accomplish. Clint and Wyatt got the garage cleaned out (with help from Ethan, Jordan and me) and have taken the Honda 550 Four apart. Now they just need to put it back together!
Leann is loving being a Mimi. Jan is enjoying having some time to herself since Zoey started school.
More later-

Rain Rain Go Away!

Baseball season is in full swing. Ethan is pitching for varisty. He's got a mean change up. I'm not sure if that is the ptich he calls his 'dirty pitch' or not, but after a couple weeks of not getting to pitch much, he pitched Friday day and did awesome. He closed out the game with 2 innings. First inning he had 4 pitches, 3 outs. Last inning he threw a few more, but still did awesome. This pic is of Wyatt & Carson watching baseball on TV. Hopefulle Uncle E will be on there someday!
Ashlee passed her national board test. I hate to say it but I'm not sure if she's a dental assistant or dental hygenist. Anyway, she's working days and Wyatt stays home with Carson. Then, Wyatt is umpiring baseball and mowing yards in the evenings. They are really doing well.
We only have about 5 weeks of school left. Thank the Lord! I love my kids and working with Misty and Michelle, but I'm ready for a break.
My garage is STILL in horrific shape and so is the yard. I'm ready to have a huge garage sale and get rid of nearly EVERYTHING.
Clint bought a Harley. He's loving it! It isn't quite a comfortable for me as the GoldWing, but I'm adjusting. He has an agreement with a friend from church to buy another Harley. This one is a Heritage Softail. If you don't know much about Harley's (I'm learning every day) this one is a little bigger with a bigger backseat. Yea! Clint has admired (I hate to use the word covet) this bike since Mike bought it new in 1990. So, we'll be a 2 Harley family. I'm going to get my motorcycle endorsement and see if I like riding. I think I'll be too nervous to enjoy it, but I'm going to try.
Clint has a blog called the Zen and the Art of motorcycle living. http://www.retrowinger.blogspot.com/
Check it out:)

No Way!

I just signed on to update and can't believe it has been since November that I posted. Holy Moly! Time has gone so fast! We've had Christmas & Carson's birthday, plus I got a new car and Clint got a Harley. Clint has started a blog called Zen and the ARt of Motorcycle Living (I think that's the name) so I thought I'd use this blog as my one outlet for thoughts. I've given the sisters instructions on how to log on, but so far I'm the only one that does, even though I'm not very consistent. Maybe since I'm going to share thoughts I will take time to post more often.
I finally got a convertible!!! Clint & I bought a car for my 44th birthday. It has already made me smile. The other day I was jamming to Kid Rock (edited version) and had my hair in a pony tail, head bopping with the music. A group of teenage boys honked and hollered until they realized it was someone their mom's age, AND they were in a car just like mine! I have a sapphire blue with tan leather interior Sebring. I'm loving the sunshine on my face, although I could do without the wind in my hair. If you have a suggestion for keeping my hair from being totally wrecked & tangled, please let me know. i have been putting it up in a pony tail, but that is getting old. I bought a hat, but half the time it almost flies off.
School is almost out for the summer. HooYaa! Only 38 more school days. I'm ready to get to stay at home. I have tons of 'honey-do' things that I'm the honey of. The garage is a pit, so is the pantry and laundry room. We are home enought to mess up, but not enough to clean up
