Cash and Daddy in the snow, Christmas day!

trying to get me and Cash in front of the tree...he is not cooperative!

after seeing the pics i wanted to post today i realized i changed my background prematurely. oh well....happy new year everyone! 2010? crazy! when do we start driving the flying cars?

Don't quit your day job...

Cash says hi and he helped!
Ahhh Christmas cookies. one of the most loved of the Christmas traditions. I thought i'd give it a go this year. i mean, how hard can it be? i'll just buy the sugar cookie DOUGH, and flatten it and cut it with those cute cookie cutters i've had (and never used) all these years.

oh look, see how cute they turned out? these are going to be soo cute! please pay no nevermind to my cookie sheet. i can never get all that off of it. don't judge.

oh they are cooking and lookin--wait what the heck is wrong with them? they are getting all fat and losing their....

shapes. yes kids, these are snowmen, Christmas trees, and candy canes. well sure, you can spot the candy canes. but what tha heck happened to the rest of them? needless to say i was over the cookies at this point.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

November!!

Yay! Thansgiving is almost here! ok, in like 3 weeks. whatever! i'm celebrating every day the things i'm thankful for! :) real quick, i'll throw in some post-halloween notes. halloween morning Cash and I met Marylie for a little photo session. check out the pics.... www.maryliemachphotography.com

after that, Cash and i went to watauga to spend the night with meemaw and pawpaw. Cash was so worn out from pictures at botanical gardens and playing with meemaw and pawpaw that he crashed out at 7! i had left my mom's to go to my seester's house for her halloween party. we all dressed up and she had gone all out for decor and food! she and Alex were Beetlejuice and Lydia. they made their costumes and looked amazing! i was a rodeo clown again. i was glad this year i could fit into it again! last year, halloween was about 2 months after Cash arrived and my overalls would not fit. i stayed for a few hours over there, but left at 9 because i was tired and i'm an old lady.

Jon is still in CO hunting and i haven't talked to him in 2 days. i miss him bunches and i'm ready for him to be home! i got to work last monday as the only assistant for the day. Brandy was off because she moved that weekend. bless her heart, due in December and having to move! :) i know, lots of ppl do it...i just feel for her! :) it was a good and busy day at work and i'm excited to start full time nov 16th! which is just one day after the half-marathon i'm running in San Antonio! if you haven't had a chance and would like to donate for research to NF please visit my page: http://www.active.com/donate/nfsa2009/MJohnso1346 and remember all donations are 100% tax deductible! for any of you who have already contributed or have had the thought of doing so, i want to say a great big THANK YOU! me, Cash, and my mom leave on nov 13th for the weekend. the race is on sunday the 15th! we are all excited about going and participating with Team Denver!!

This sat i am having my first ever garage sale! ok, i'm actually co-having a garage sale with Lindsey and Kristie....at Lindsey's house! i rounded up like 4 boxes/tubs worth of "stuff" that has just been accumulating! what a chore....pricing and getting together! what i don't sell i'm giving away! i just tried to post a pic of Luke on here as a halloween thumb-sucking monster and somehow it posted as it's "own" blog entry. oh well....that's Luke! Lindsey and Cody's baby boy. he is changing sooo fast and getting more handsome as the days pass!

i guess that's about all i have to report today friends! remember to be thankful, not just on thanksgiving or during November...everyday is a gift from God! Don't worry about tomorrow, don't stress about the past or hold on to anger. learn to forgive yourself for mistakes...learn from them and go on in the Lord! Thank Him for each breath you take and remember to tell other's you love them! I love you all, and i'm thankful each of you are in my life!
