A Cousin! A Cousin!

We are SO excited to finally have a cousin on the Johnson side! Aunt Sally and Uncle Buster welcomed their first baby (an adorable little boy), on Sept. 13. We love him!

We miss Uncle Camby

The boys love their Uncle Camby. He left to attend BYU at the end of August and they have missed having him around. We are happy he's having such a great time, though.

It's Sweet to be Five!

My sweet Gambit turned 5 on September 25. I so love this kid.

I bought this birthday shirt for my new nephew to wear on his first birthday. Gambit wanted to wear it on his. The shirt is size 18 months. And the shorts are size 24 months. Yeah, that's my small kid!

The current favorite sleeping postion. I call it the 'Flying Eagle'.


He fell asleep while playing Star Wars Wii. The game was still going.


Gambit likes to pick out his own clothes. This day he had chosen, camo flip flops, camo pants, camo shirt, and a camo hat. At least he tries to match!

My Dear Gambit,

I love being your mother. I love your spunky, energetic, never stop personality. You are kind, sweet, stubborn, headstrong, loving, and hilarious all rolled into one awesome little boy. You have such an amazing imagination. I love to sit and listen to you play. You come up with the most elaborate situations for your lego men. You love to make people laugh and are so very funny. I know you will do some seriously awesome things in your life. You've already made my life so much more awesome! I love your cuddles. I love your kisses and your hugs. I love it when you snuggle into my bed at night even though you disrupt my sleep. I know you'll stop doing that someday and I'll miss it. Always know that I love you forever.

Love,

Mama

Oregon vs. Missouri State.

Antonio won some tickets in a work raffle to the University of Oregon and Missouri State football game. We decided to take Ninja and let him bring a friend with us. It was actually my first college game and it was great! We sat right next to the student section, which provided some hilarious entertainment. Oregon won 56-7.

Blackberry Face

We went up to my parent's house so we could pick blackberries and make some jam. We got quite a few, but someone got a hold of our bowl and ate everything we picked!

Eowyn

Do you ever go to the store and end up coming home with things you didn't intend to get? Well, I recently went to Safeway to get some groceries. I came home with a kitten. So here's the newest member of our family.....Eowyn.

This is Gambit reading to Eowyn about snakes. It was so cute.

This is one feline who is not thrilled about the new kitten.

Iron Man

Portland is a very bike friendly city with lots of beautiful scenery to admire. Antonio has recently bought a nice bike and started commuting to work that way three days a week. A group of friends planned a long (54 mile) bike ride up Mt. Adams and Antonio joined them. He said it was really hard, the first 10 miles were straight uphill, but I think he really enjoyed it.
