Shower

 
The boys had their first shower together last night. Cole usually showers while Judson is in the bath, its the quickest and easiest way to bathe them both at the same time. Judson always wants in and out...I guess he figures bath time slows him down too much. So last night as I was getting him out, Cole opened the shower door and in went Judson. They played in their together for 30 minutes...I can see this being their new favorite past time!!
 



Meeting Paxton

This past week Aunt Thea and Paxton came for a visit and Cole and Judson got to play and "love" on her.  She is such a cutie and we enjoyed getting to spend some time with her and her mommy! 
Cole is such a sweet boy!
Judson loved to pat her...and she took the love so well!
He thought someome had bought him a new toy to play with!

Copper

Two weeks ago Papa (Levi's dad) came home from the cattle sale in Dalhart with a BIG surprise for Cole.  Of course he made sure it was okay with mommy and daddy first, Thank you Papa!!  Cole has been asking for a dog for a few months now, but I had decided that we didn't need one until the Spring, since winter was upon us and we wouldn't spend as much time outside. 

Well Papa came home with the cutest Red Heeler...so my plans went out the door and we fell in love with Copper!  He is adorable and pretty good with the boys...for a puppy!

Love....

Judson's ONE Year Pics

I am in LOVE with Judson's one year pics that Holly McCauley did!  Thank you so much Holly for capturing his sweet and ornery side...these melt my heart!  




We have this exact picture of Cole...same outfit and all!!




Ornery Nose Wrinkle

Sweet Boy wanted his picture taken too!


It doesn't get much sweeter than this!

Pumpkin Patch



Sunday we took our annual trip to the Wieck pumpkin patch. It was a gorgeous day and we all got a little hot (look at Cole's red cheeks), but had a great time! Cole and Judson both loved the slide and corn pits. Judson loved this tiny green pumpkin he picked out...he kept throwing it like a ball. Cole was on a mission for the PERFECT pumpkin and was so excited when he got to pick several of them. He woke up first thing this morning and wanted to "make a face" on one...the painting has started!!





The "Johnson" Clan

There were many pics taken...but there is never a "PERFECT" one



Slide Time

It was a little faster than I thought it would be

Good thing Daddy came the wagon got really heavy!!

Moving & Shipping





Last week we shipped cattle Monday-Thursday, we always look forward to this time of the year when all of the guys hard work pays off!!!  Every year has gotten  more fun with Cole around...this year he decided that he was GOING to help everyday.  We usually let him help gather, but have always made him go stay with Levi's mom when we load.  But this year that was NOT happening...her are a few of my fun pics from the week!!!




For ONE day he helped Daddy, he thought the other 3 I needed him!! 
OUR top hand!!!
