Christmas Photos 2008

2008-12-18T13:17:00.000-08:00

I took the boys' Christmas photos last night however, neither of them were feeling that great. So I will probably have to do another photo shoot later when they're feeling better... but these will do.

Our New Place!

2008-12-18T12:57:00.000-08:00

We were blessed to have found a wonderful 3 bedroom home to rent in West Fargo, ND. So far we are loving the space!!

Thanksgiving 2008 in Colorado

2008-12-05T13:52:00.000-08:00

We were able to take a VERY last minute trip down to Steamboat for Thanksgiving! The boys had a blast with Mutti and Pop-Pop, and Grandpa ScottE and Grammy Dickie. Enjoy the photos!

Notice the drool... EW!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-01T08:52:00.000-07:00

After much debate, the boys finally decided on being a cowboy (Asher) and the Horse (Owen.) Owen originally wanted to be a bumble bee, and I even found him a bumble bee costume in his size! But after I pulled out Asher's costume, which was Owen's from last year, I might add, Owen insisted that he had to be the horse. Ahh 3 year old's... at least Asher didn't really care. Anyway...We took them to the mall for some Trick or Treating and then we took the boys to our church's "Trunk n' Treat" party. The boys had a great night, and we are still recovering this morning!

Charming!

The Horse finally passed out on the chair...

Super Boys!!

2008-10-30T19:32:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of photos of the boys playing "Superman" with Tim tonight... they sure had fun!!

Early Christmas Photos

2008-10-29T13:31:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Tim took the boys to visit his family (I had a previous commitment here.) While they were there, they got all the grandkids together for a Christmas picture... is it really that time already?? Yikes! Thanks to Jenny, Tim's sister, for providing the pics!

I'm not really sure if Asher was into the picture taking thing that night...

Owen and his new "favorite puppy"

Jack-o-lantern Fun

2008-10-18T19:00:00.000-07:00

Here are the photos of the boys after we carved the pumpkin. They were amazed! So cute... They kept asking me to sing "Happy Birthday" so they could blow the candle out!

Little boy curiosity at it's finest!

They weren't so sure about the fact that the "head" comes off!

The Pumpkin Patch... Again.

2008-10-18T18:37:00.000-07:00

I took the boys to the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch today... Other than the fact that it was freezing, we had a great time! My batteries on the camera died, so these were the only photos I was able to get... I would have loved to have gotten some of the boys picking out the "perfect" jack-o-lantern carving pumpkin! So cute!

Playin in the leaves

They loved this little barn... I wasn't "allowed in"

Asher was the only one up for the "photo shoot"

Ok This Was Fun!!

2008-10-15T20:32:00.000-07:00

This was really fun, go to yearbookyourself.com and do this! I am really glad that we live in the time that we do! And by the way... do you think this is how the boys will look when they're older? yikes!

Playing at our Old House

2008-10-15T13:38:00.000-07:00

While we were in the cities this weekend I decided that it would be fun to have a "camp out" in our old house. We set up a tent in the living room and had a blast! The boys really enjoyed running around, I know they miss the house.On a lighter note, we found new renters and they will be moving in on the 25th, Praise God!!

College Reunion

2008-10-15T12:53:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I took the boys to Minneapolis for the Northwestern College Homecoming... All the "Moyer Roomies" from my sophomore year, minus a couple, got together for a great night of fun! Most of us have kids now, so all the kiddos played with the Dads while us gals caught up on life. It was so great to see everyone again!

Owen and Olivia (Renae's daughter) playing in the wagon. Renae and I were pregnant with these 2 during our senior year of college, so these two have a special bond. :)

Playing Baseball with Michael and Troy

Asher cleaning the rocks

Bath Time Fun

2008-10-15T12:29:00.000-07:00

The other night we were bathing the boys and Tim thought it would be funny to give the boys a cold cup of water and have Owen pour it on himself... well these are the photos that followed. As you can see, the boys thought that it was hilarious to dump freezing cold water on themselves! This is proof that boys do silly things to impress the ones they love! :)

This is obviously not a bath time photo, I just thought it was a super cute photo of Asher!

At the Pumpkin Patch!

2008-10-03T21:27:00.000-07:00

This last week we got the privilege of having my mom come visit us in Fargo! The boys had a blast playing with Mutti! Here are some photos of our trip to the pumpkin patch...

A candid of the boys playing tag

WOW!

2008-09-02T13:46:00.000-07:00

This weekend everyone was noticing how big Asher had gotten, so I decided to do some research... These photos are taking within 3 1/2 months of each other... can you believe the difference?!?! Asher has grown up so much it's scary! Since April, he has grown over 3 inches, and has blossomed into a full on "2 year old" What a joy he is.

Bonanzaville!

2008-09-01T20:45:00.000-07:00

Today, we went to Bonanzaville... it's like a giant museum of Fargo. They moved actual houses and stores, churches etc. from various places around Fargo and put them at this spot to make a town replica. Inside, every building was fully restored to look like its time! We had a great time. I thought it fitting to make all the photos of the boys sepia... it just seemed to fit with the "olden days" theme.

This is the first house that was ever built in Fargo!

Owen "swimming" in the wind... It was extremely windy today!

More Labor Day Weekend Photos!

2008-09-01T20:28:00.000-07:00

2008-09-01T20:21:00.000-07:00

It turned into a family affair :)

He loved his watermelon cake!! It was definitely a hit.

2008-08-28T20:32:00.001-07:00

We celebrated Asher's Birthday tonight, by having a family dinner, followed by cake and presents. What a relaxing, fun birthday that was!

Sugar is starting to get to him...

oh boy!

Sugar rush!!!!

Asher's 2 Year Photos

2008-08-28T20:20:00.000-07:00

Wow, I can't believe that Asher is already 2 years old! Where did the time go? Here are the photos from his "photo shoot" today. He is turning into such a ham, but the biggest sweetheart all at the same time. Happy Birthday Asher, we love you!

Sticks and Bikes and Everything Nice.

2008-07-31T12:06:00.000-07:00

The boys are going through a phase where they have to make huge "cheese" faces whenever I get the camera out, hence all the silly photos below! They never cease to amaze me with their sense of humor!

Asher's Remedy

2008-07-31T11:35:00.000-07:00

So after Asher's string of recent accidents, I think he finally came to his senses... his remedy, wearing his brother's helmet! :)

New Car... again!

2008-07-22T12:04:00.000-07:00

Ok, I promise that these will be the last photos that we post of a new car for a VERY long time!! Long story short... the PT Cruiser didn't work for us, so we did a trade in for this Malibu Maxx. We love this car, and we won't need to get a new car again soon. Hopefully :)

Our Day with Asher in Steamboat

2008-07-06T13:10:00.000-07:00

We were able to send Owen to the preschool that I went to as a kid. We had a great time with just Asher for the day! This was the first time that we had ever spent the day with just Asher, I think we all enjoyed it! And Owen had a great time at Kids Kabin too!

Here are the Photos from our photo shoot with photographer Jessica Maynard. She did a fabulous job!

Asher Crasher (again)...

2008-07-06T11:49:00.001-07:00

So we don't know what to do with this kid of ours... On the 4th he fell off a porch, onto some cement steps, and then hit the ground! Needless to say, he's a mess! He is definitely living up to his nickname! I personally think that he was just trying to be patriotic with some "red, white and blue" :)

"Asher Crasher"

2008-06-23T17:02:00.002-07:00

Today while Asher was playing he fell and his top tooth went through his bottom lip!! I haven't seen that much blood in a long time, but thankfully he didn't need stitches and his lip should heal just fine, phew!!! He's a crazy kid, so I'm sure this won't be the last time something like this happens... Enjoy the photo :)

The Pool!

2008-06-22T15:19:00.000-07:00

We took the boys to the pool after church today... They are little fish!!

The Zoo!

2008-06-20T17:30:00.000-07:00

The Car Situation...

2008-06-20T15:04:00.000-07:00

So another funny God story... . So we recently bought a 2004 Saturn Vue, it was a great car, so we thought...
We took the car back for a visit to Milaca, and Luke (our brother-in-law, who's a Saturn mechanic) told us that the transmission was one that goes out between 50,000-70,000 miles, ours was at 57,000! So needless to say, we called the dealership where we bought the Vue and explained everything to them etc. So they told us that we could exchange the car. Here's the cool part... we looked at about 7 cars, but the one that stood out the most, wouldn't cost us any more money, and was actually an upgrade in comparison , was our new 2007 Chrysler PT Crusier! The funniest part of the whole story is that we had NEVER considered this for a car for us, not that we didn't like them, it just never made it on the list. It just goes to show, that God has the perfect plan for us, just when we think that we have it all figured out, God lets us know who's boss :) To think that what we thought was a bad situation, could turn out so great. God is good, all the time!

We "souped" it up with some fancy DVD players.

The back is lot roomier than we thought!!

Memorial Day in Milaca

Owen's 3 Year Photos

2008-05-20T14:33:00.000-07:00

I was able to take Owen's three year pics today ( he turns 3 on Sunday!!) I bribed him with new toys, so I managed to get some very "excited" smiles :) He's a good kid and definitely NOT camera shy! Enjoy!

Owen (and Tim's) First Marathon

2008-05-18T13:01:00.000-07:00

Fun was had by all when Owen "ran" in his first Marathon! Tim ended up carrying him a good distance but he managed to cross the finish line by himself. :) Here's the photo recap...

Waiting in line, bored, with a camera...

Tim's ready!

A last minute pep-talk

And he's off!!

Getting tired...

This is when it turned into the "1/4 mile toddler carry!" At one point Tim asked if we actually paid money to do this. :)

Up against 50 mile winds... Tim was feeling the burn, notice the grimace :)

Finally running again... through the tunnel

Super fast, as he approaches the finish line!

Greeted by crowds, he got a bit distracted :)

Getting his medal, Tim thought he needed one too, carrying a kid and running is hard work...

They did it!! What a fun day!

Fargo Fun!

This is the view that I got when I opened the front door last Saturday! I can assure you... it sucked!

2008-04-25T17:53:00.000-07:00

Well here I am sitting at the Huge play area in the mall, watching Tim and the boys play while I use the free WIFI! I know that it has been a while since we actually updated this site, so enjoy all the photos below!! We are in Moorhead now, and absolutly loving it! With the exception of us all fighting a nasty cold, Tim has had a great first week of work! He has an amazing office and the staff have been so great! There is something to be said about a smaller staff, people seem to care more!
this has been such a faith journey for us, and it is great to see how faithful the Lord has been. If there is one thing that we've learned from all of this, it's that He is true to His word, and if we ask, He WILL give us the desires of our hearts! Looking back now, Fargo is everything that we have been praying for, for a very long time, even before Tim was let go from KTIS! We always hated Tim's second shift hours, and I had hoped for a long time that he would get switched to days. Now, Tim works a 10-6 shift, so we can have breakfast and dinner together! Tim has been able to spend so much more time with all of us, and it has been wonderful!!! Another answered prayer is that Tim now has a 10 minute commute ( from the former 45 minutes) Tim can literally come home for lunch if he wants! This also allowed for Tim to finally get the scooter that he had been wanting for EVER!!!
As you can see, we have finally been able to see the light at the end of this tunnel that we have been experiencing! The Lord is faithful, and we are so thankful! Thanks for reading this long entry :)I would write more, but Tim is out of breath from chasing the boys!

Hello "Green House!"

2008-04-25T17:27:00.001-07:00

Fargo Bound

2008-04-03T06:22:00.001-07:00

Yes it's true... we are moving to Fargo! Tim was offered a job at KFNW, a radio station up there, as the afternoon drive guy! This is such a wonderful opportunity for Tim and the town isn't that bad :) We are so excited about the changes that God has for us, now we just need to get some of the details settled. Please pray that either our house gets sold or rented soon! We are currently in Fargo looking for places to live. We are trusting in the Lord's timing, and know that everything will work out according to His will. Thanks again for all the prayers and help! We love you all!

March Fun!

2008-04-03T06:05:00.001-07:00

Here are the pictures from Easter... enjoy!

Swimming in Fargo...

2008-03-22T12:56:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we took a trip to Fargo so Tim could interview for a job there... The station put us up in an awesome hotel with 5 pools! The boys had tons of fun swimming, and Asher's new nickname is "Splasher"

February Pictures!

Job update

2008-02-29T14:26:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the lack of updates recently! Life here at the Johnson household has sure been crazy. On Feb 1st Tim's position at KTIS was eliminated, which has sent our family into a bit of chaos. We know that God has everything happen for a reason and that nothing is an accident, therefore, we know that the next job is there, we just need to be in prayer that we are following God's will. Tim has had a promising interview with Focus on the Family down in Colorado Springs. We are trusting, that if this is the Job, that all the details of moving will come together. Tim has also had an interview with a local church as an audio/visual technician. This would be a great fit too, but it would take Tim out of the Worship Pastor position at our current church, so we'll see. Like I said before, we know that God is in control and the job is out there, we just need to trust, and pray! We know that this really isn't "news" to any of you who know us... so we wanted to say thanks for all of your prayers during this time!! We have only felt peace, we know that we are being taken care of, so thanks so much!! We love you all!!! We will certainly keep you updated as the job process reveals itself.

I Can Explain...!

2008-01-29T18:35:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I was cleaning out the boys' closet and we found Tim's old cowboys boots and hat. We had fun trying them on! :)

January Update

2008-01-27T11:16:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, this new year is shaping up to be a busy one! I (Whitney) have started a new job. I am now an Educational Assistant at the elementary school here. I am the assistant Kindergarten teacher and I absolutely love it!! The job is only 3 hours a day so Tim can watch the boys while I am gone, so we don't have to put the boys in daycare. God proved to be faithful with finding the perfect job for me!
We have also been quite sick this year, ugh! We thought Asher had another pneumonia scare, but it was just his asthma manifesting itself. Now Owen has bronchitis/bordering on pneumonia. It hasn't been fun here. We are definitely looking forward for spring so we can get outside more and get rid of these festering germs in the house!
Because I have been sick also, I haven't had a lot of opportunities to take many pictures of the boys, but I will get some posted soon.... Promise!

Christmas in Steamboat!

2008-01-09T08:41:00.000-08:00

2007 Christmas Letter

2007-12-20T18:22:00.000-08:00

"Glory to God in the highest..."

I decided that I needed to write a Christmas letter after the creative letters from others started rolling in. I suddenly felt like I had jipped all the people that we sent cards to this year... so here is my "online letter" to you all.

As my Mother-in-law would say, "If we could just forget about the year 2007, that would be great!" (This letter is starting really cheery so far isn't it!) But she's right, this has been a year to remember, or maybe not... We as the Johnson's have had our fair share of challenges this year... Asher got pneumonia, Tim was hospitalized for meningitis, Owen has had a mysterious rash that finally has been cured thanks to a lactose free diet, and I have had a mystery illness that no one knows how to cure. Tim lost his Grandma to cancer, my mom was jobless twice this year, and my step-dad dealt with his fair share of hardships as well. Tim's sister had an awful labor and is still recovering from it almost 7 months later... With all of this, now you can see why I quoted Trudy :) It's been a hard year indeed, but the one thing that we have seen is how faithful God truly is. Even though we had a rough year, He is still guiding us and helping us to grow through the struggles, and for that I will never forget this year!

Now for some happy updates:

Owen is now 2 1/2 and is the most lively child I know. There isn't a day that goes by where we aren't amazed by his personality. He will tell you that, he's "moderately gifted", and "so dang cute!" He brightens our world, and has a funny face or saying to combat anything. We love him so much!

Asher is what we like to call quietly confidant. He is the exact opposite of Owen, but just has funny and light hearted, but in a more quiet, sure of himself, way. If any of you know Tim really well, you would see how similar Asher is to him! Asher is now 15 months and is running alongside his brother... my hands are full!!! He is an amazing "smoocher" and is so cuddly, we are so blessed to have him in our life!

Tim is still working at KTIS in the cities where he is the Imaging Producer, as well as the overnight DJ. He seems to enjoy it, although no job is perfect, he makes us proud everyday! He is also the worship music leader for the Saturday night contemporary service at our church. He has come along way with his musical talent, and if you were to ask me, I would tell you that he should just be a full time musician! Tim works hard for this family, and for that I am so grateful!

As for me (Whitney) I am still at home with these boys and loving almost every minute of it! I do have my days where I wonder what I was thinking, but to have the privilege to take care of my own children is a gift. I am now the proud momma of a new dog, Carly, she is awesome! I told Tim that I didn't think our girl would be so hairy, but I'll take what I can get. We all love her, including Miles, they have bonded quite nicely!

We all hope that you find yourself happy and healthy in the new year and that you have a very Merry Christmas. "Rejoice, a Savior is born!"

Asher's Bruises from his Brother :(

2007-12-20T06:47:00.000-08:00

While in the car, Owen decided that hitting his brother with his toy train was fun... these are the bruises that poor little Asher recieved thanks to his brother. :( Owen's train has been taken away until all of Asher's "bumps" are gone. Owen's in BIG trouble!

More fun with the Camera!

2007-12-20T06:39:00.000-08:00

Tim and Owen have way too much fun with the camera!

We just discovered that our camera can do this with the color... cool huh?!
Asher loves his Chocolate!!

Merry (Early) Christmas!!

2007-12-20T06:27:00.001-08:00

We decided to have our family Christmas on Sunday because we are going to be in Steamboat over Christmas. Here are some of the memories from the day...

The living room's a mess, but Owen's having fun!
The smart cycle that Mutti got for the boys, I think Tim likes it too :)

Owen had been wanting this race car FOREVER!!! He was very happy when he got it!

Asher liked the chocolate in his stocking!

Adventures in Photography.

So I decided to take Asher's 15 month pictures the other day... I should have known that it wasn't going to go well with the way this first picture turned out... but I foolishly kept going... (enjoy)

Apperently sailor outfits aren't cool, because I hadn't seen him cry this hard in a long time!

Getting more angry...
And he's done!
After I calmed him down, we tried it again... but he was still a little hesitant.

But then I gave him his favorite balls and he decided to dance with them.
Finally the session was over, and this was the best picture I could get. But at least there are no tears in his eyes! Aww memories!
By the way, the sailor outfit was Tim's, hopefully I will get a better picture of Asher in it again soon.

Snow!

Today Owen decided that he wanted to watch Barney... I agreed because then I could post pictures... but the problem that I have now encountered is that Asher absolutley LOVES this show now! AHH. He has been dancing the entire time. Therefore, I'm in trouble. :)
