more birthday celebrating

waylen's grandma diehr stopped by today to surprise him for his birthday! it was very sweet of her. she stopped by starbucks beforehand to get waylen his usual - a lemon loaf. even more candle blowing ensued. she got waylen addicted lemon loafs sometime last summer :) it's one of those things. soon, he'll be drinking the coffee. decaf, of course.

waylen is the big 2! look out. hard to believe the little guy arrived just 2 short years ago. proud to say he still hasn't got a haircut yet. i'm trying to go for the samson thing with him - we'll see how much longer colleen will tolerate it. at any rate, way just loves blowing out candles. all this week, we would say, "waylen, it's almost your birthday!!!" then he would make a blow noise with his mouth, blowing out an invisible candle. we celebrated this past weekend with some of our family.

i caught you smiling, shiloh!

shy was sitting in her little bouncer, looking at the toys and reaching for them. she was having a great time all by herself. had to take a pic.

this past sunday, some friends of ours at church gave us this little comic strip. they said it "made us think of you guys."

The Outlaws

found this old picture in the family archives. the johnson clan circa 1889.

ps. don't mess with dad.

Bathtime!!

waylen loves the bathtub. like my dad did with me, i get to educate him on all types of fish & sea creatures. for example, dolphins & sea turtles are gentle, and they swim right past waylen. they aren't looking for any trouble. however, you need to watch out for baby piranhas.. they bite, pinch and nibble!
