Ali's Baby Shower


The kids and I went to Ali's first baby shower this weekend. Riley Kate and Grayton were so excited to go to the baby shower, and they are anxiously awaiting Bailey's arrival!! We canot wait until January--it's going to be so wonderful to have another baby around here (that I don't have to feed and change at 3 AM-haha!!)! I cannot wait to be an aunt, and Grayton and Riley Kate cannot wait to meet their sweet little cousin!!

Halloween Party and Hay Ride with Trick or Treating!!!




We started a new Halloween tradition this year at the Johnson's house! We had a party and hay ride for the children, and it was a big hit with everybody!! We had fun Halloween food, painted pumpkins, went on a hay ride, and trick or treated all together!! Everyone had a blast and we can't wait to do it again next year!!

Scarbrough Halloween Movie/Party Night

We had a Halloween party and movie night at our house the night before Halloween, and I fixed a special "scary" supper with "swamp juice" to drink and monster cake for dessert!! The kids loved it, and we all had fun just being together!!

MSU vs Florida

We had so much fun tailgating at the MSU vs Florida game! The energy in the stadium during the game was amazing!! We had a wonderful time!

Tailgating at MSU

We went to MSU Homecoming this weekend and tailgated even though the weather was not cooperating! We did have a wonderful time--as we always do in Starkville! The kids actually sat and watched the game-which made the trip much more enjoyable! We walked all over campus and around the Cotton District and took the kids to eat at The Grill! It is still delicious!! We had fun and cannot wait to come back for the Florida game!

Unwanted Visitor


I mean is there really any need to say anything but YUCK!! I cornered it in the carport and Jason attacked it with the shovel!! Thank God we found it before Riley Kate did!! She's a lover of ALL animals!! The whole time she was saying "he's so cute; I want to hold him." Ughhh!! I think that would give me an instant heart attack!!

Grayton's Birthday

These are a few pictures from Grayton's little birthday party at school! He "special ordered" this cake! I begged him to pick one out at the grocery store or have a Chow cake made, but he did not want that!! He said "Mom, I want you to make me a chocolate, chocolate chip cake with your homemade milk chocolate icing and the batman symbol on it. No one can bake cakes as good as you!" Who could say no to that?? He loved his little homemade cake and was so proud of it! It had soooooo much chocolate in it, but he loved it, so that is all that matters!!!


OUR ADDICTION!!

OUR ADDICTION!!
After the birth of Grayton, Jason and I began running and became highly addicted!! I soon made my first jogging stroller purchase, The Tike Tech all terrain single jogger. It was wonderful until I needed another seat for Riley Kate. I got this Dreamer Design off of ebay, and I love it! I call it my freedom and my sanity because I can load up the kids and go running whenever I feel like it! The kids love to stroll. They usually ask to go. We have run several races just for fun--Delta Jubilee 5K, Juke Joint Festival 5K, St. Jude 1/2 Marathon, Double Decker 10K, 300 Oaks 10K, etc. We love to run and if there is a race we can make it to, we'll run it!! We are running about 4 to 5 miles a day now with long runs of 7 to 12 miles on the weekends!

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE
Since Grayton's 1st birthday, I have ventured out a bit and started baking and creating my kid's birthday cakes each year. Also, I am the homeroom mother for Grayton's class, so I am trying to get creative with my baking. I am not very good at it, but it is so much fun!! If anyone has any new cute ideas, share them with me.
