S'MORES Anyone?

Just another reason to come visit the Johnstons! Kyle spent last Friday building a fire pit in our flag stone patio. It turned out great and we have already used it several times! Now all we need is some patio furniture!

Sprayground!

Wednesdays are one of our favorite days- it's play group day and we love it! For the past year a group of girls from our Sunday school class have been getting together on Wed. with our kids. It is such a wonderful time to be with our friends, the kids love playing together and of course the mom's love talking and helping eachother out (it's like being with family)! During the summer it's parks, zoo, and spraygrounds. It was actually perfectly 78 and breezy yesterday- perfect for the mom's, but the water was really cold (of course it didn't stop the kids). Gavin got right in and Avalyn avoided getting wet which was of course a squeeling good time. In the end Gavin had goose bumps and was shivering and Avalyn's hair was completely dry! We will have to go back on a much warmer day. It has been truly a blessing to have this time with our friends.

Too Cute, Too Funny!

Just thought I'd share these with you to put a smile on your face! Cambria just keeps jumping more and more and loving every minute of it. Her smile is so big when she is excited- I just get really close to her face and talk with a lot of excitement in my voice and she smiles so big! The scratches on her face were a little love pat from her little friend who came to play today. Of course some of the pictures turned out a little blurry, because she wouldn't stop jumping. Life is good, Life is precious!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Cambria!

Cambria on her Birthday!

Cambria Faith today at 6 months!

She has a lot less hair, but has grown so much! She is now smiling, eating solids, has 1 tooth, loves to jump in her jumparoo, loves her swing, sleeps around 11 hours at night, enjoys playing with our faces, absolutely adores her big brother and sister, wears glasses (at least when she is not chewing on them), loves to go out in the baby bjorn with mommy, and makes cooing sounds. She may not be quite as developed as she should be at 6 months, but she is happy and a growing so much everyday! Despite her extremeley poor vision, she is content and continues to progress slowly. We look forward to watching God work in and through Cambria! She is our little angel and is such a wonderful blessing to our family.

Our 3rd little Jumping Bean!

As many of you know Gavin and Avalyn absolutely loved jumping when they were babies. They spent countless hours in the Johny Jump up. Cambria has finally begun jumping herself, not for hours at a time (yet), but it does make her happy and I am sure there is a lot more jumping to come. Praise the Lord for our new Jumparoo, it is great not having to use the bathroom door way and she loves all the stuff on it to play with.

More Water Fun!

Today at Target I found a slip n slide on clearance for $4.95, it was the last one so I just had to get it. The kids had a great time playing in it. Gavin still doesn't get the correct way to go down it, but I am sure that will come in time and of course he didn't care he just tried whatever way worked best to slide on it. Avalyn was completely clueless but had fun walking in the water and playing at the end of it.

So Much Love- and a tooth!

So Happy!

At least when playing with brother and sister, yesterday her 1st tooth broke through her gums- this made her very sad and in quite some pain. I kept her on Motrin and she slept quite a bit, today her teeth weren't bothering her as much. Time has gone so fast, she is already getting teeth!
