Finally I am posting!

Well after I have officially had this blog for a year now I decided that it was about time to publish something on it. I guess I have finally found the time since mom has the girls until next wednesday. I am going to youth camp with our youth and I am missing them like crazy! Only 5 more days to go!

Most of you that will be reading this already know that we are expecting our third daughter in Sept. We are very excited!!! Gracie said when we went into the ultrasound that she just needed one more baby sister. I guess she got what she wanted. She also thought that baby Lily was coming out that day, She came over and held my hand and told me not to cry! Precious!

Ella just likes to show everybody my belly and kiss my belly. Things are for sure going to be different around here. I am trying to convince her that she is a Big girl and not a baby anymore. We are still trying to potty train. She loves to not wear a diaper and sit on the potty unless she actually needs to go. We are still working. She is not as easy as Gracie was.

We went to Disney a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. We were a little concerned that Ella might be too young but she loved it. The excitement on their faces when we they saw the castle was priceless. Ella got very good at waiting in lines. I wanted to buy a backpack leash for her and Ryan refused. He was right about her not needing it. I guess those first few spankings of her running off really did some good!

Here are a few pictures of out trip.


The girls seeing the castle! So excited!




We saw Mickey and Minnie several times and the excitement was always as if they has never seen them!





Gracie had been waiting very patiently to see Cinderella. She couldn't stop smiling.





Ella's face is priceless!!!!





She never took her eyes of his feet!





Having tea at Minnie's house!






We probably act like animals sometimes and need to be in a cage!




Well I guess I am officially a blogger! Hope you enjoy the journey of me documenting our family!

The girls are just adorable and I know you are all so excited about Lily coming soon. Love the name by the way.

I want to take J to Disney so badly. People keep saying he's too young but I want to see that excited look on his face that only the little ones have! Looks like a great trip.

I guess we will get to see Gracie and Ella Sunday. YEA!!

Yea Mandy!! So glad you're "up and running" now. No, really, I'm sure you're up and running everyday. So glad to be able to see pictures of your precious girls and soon Lily!

I too will miss your mom an awful lot! She's become my second mother! I love that woman and will certainly miss all of our talks. At least I can still stay up on everything that's going on with your bunch!

Your Disney pictures look like so much fun. I can not wait to take Ty. He is going to be mesmerized by it all.

Ditto everyone else's comment--GLAD YOU'RE BLOGGING!!!! Your girls are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! And to think that you'll have another little beauty to add to the bunch. :)

Love the name Lily. I had the name Lillian Hope picked out if we had a girl and planned on calling her Lillian but, God had other plans for us. ;) Can't wait to read more about what all goes on in the Johnson Household.
