This summer is going to be busy; although nothing is really planned other than a trip from Grandpa Johnson and Bev, the boys birthday party, 4th of July, a trip to Michigan, Lauren starts volleyball on August 4 and school starts the last week in August. I'm whipped already!Jill and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04116046534369590644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079927006924671819.post-55731753943690611922014-01-16T08:43:00.000-06:002014-01-23T13:04:07.787-06:00Vacation Part III - Christmas with the JohnsonsAfter a couple of days in the park, Mike went to the airport and rented a minivan for our one hour trek to Dad's winter place. I had only learned the week before our vacation that Bob and Drew were coming down and I was pretty excited about it and then I realized that I would be spending Christmas with almost everyone on my side of the family - then I was beyond ecstatic. We left the hotel pretty early so that we could get to where we needed to go and spend time with family. It was Christmas Eve and I still had to wrap gifts and do a load of laundry or the boys would have been naked for Christmas Day.<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve Bev and Dad started a new tradition, the planted seeds (breath mints) in sugar before the boys went to bed. In the morning they grew to be large candy canes - the boys thought that was the coolest thing ever. <br />

Christmas morning for me started at 5:22 a.m. I tried for 40 minutes to keep the boys in bed and at 6 a.m. I gave up. We slept out in the living room with the boys and Aunt Brenda and the Christmas tree so that I could contain them if they got up early and got up early they did.<br />

After opening gifts we moved on to breakfast about the time normal people actually getting out of bed at 6:15 a.m.<br />
While Bev was making breakfast for all 11 of us, Dad was outside hanging with us Johnson kids and the boys thought it would be cute to stick their butts out the opened sliding door. Dad was quick with the rake and then it became a game to the big kid and the little boys.<br />

The vacation started a little shaky with whining boys at the cruise terminal and tired voices were heard throughout the vacation but what a vacation. The boys still talk about the cruise and park and want to go back. I had a wonderful time with my husband and kids and the big bonus was for us to spend Christmas with my side of the family. I know this family is loud and obnoxious at times, but dang it we made some memories.

We were 5 minutes away from getting to the hotel and I hear from the back seat, "I'm going to puke" and if I've learned anything in these last 5 1/2 years it's when Logan says he's going to puke he is going to puke! I had nothing to catch it, the first wave hit him and the floor and then I grabbed the industrial sized trash bags that held the car seats and gave it to him. The poor lady that was driving just took it all in stride and I'm waiting to see the cleaning bill on my credit card.<br />

Once we got our luggage into our room, we grabbed some snacks headed to the park. Just as we were getting on the bus to take us to Magic Kingdom Lauren fell ill. So I had to make a decision to either go with Mike to help with the boys or to take Lauren back to the room. She said she could go back herself and I watched her walk back to the room while awarding myself "the mother of the year" award.<br />

Lauren texted me about an hour after we got to the park and said she was feeling better and was on the bus to meet us. There were apparently no other pictures taken from the first one in the park (above) until later that evening...I'll have to check with Mike to see if he took some.<br />
<br />
The boys started to get tired after riding The Runaway Mine train so we headed back to the hotel and ate some dinner and put the boys down for the night. Lauren and I headed back to the park as Mike wasn't feeling well.<br />

Day 2 of Magic Kingdom started at about 9 a.m. Logan noticed the kids having the characters sign books so he came prepared with a pen and a small pad of paper. We stopped right inside the park to pick up some some souvenirs; Logan got an autograph book, Travis got a Mickey pen, and Ian opted for a Mickey hat.<br />

After riding Space Mountain I got a text that Brenda was in the park and we came up with a place to meet. Lauren had some idea that Uncle Bob was coming (because Mom talks without thinking sometimes) but she had absolutely no clue that her cousin Drew was coming. When these girls saw each other I wish I had a picture of it - it was priceless!<br />

After a couple of hours after meeting the Johnson's we had to take the boys back to the hotel as they were getting tired. I left Lauren with Bob and Brenda and I headed back with Mike. We took the boys for a quick swim and then dinner. Once back at the hotel Mike cut me loose to go back to the park and spend more time with my family.<br />

So after saying so long to Bob, Brenda and Drew at about 10 p.m that night as they headed to go to Dad's place, I headed back to drop off Lauren at the hotel and pick up Mike. Yes, I made three trips to the park that day and walked a total of 12 miles per my pedometer. Mike and I got to see some of the sights without a huge crowd (make no mistake there were still plenty of people there at 11 p.m.). We also got in some shopping and found the shirt that he had been looking for for two days. It was a nice way to end the last night at Magic Kingdom.<br />

Whenever we travel we attempt to get seats so that each one of us gets a kid to be in charge of. That way no one is having two kids to handle on a plane - I've had one of those plane rides, and luckily it worked out for me.</div>

Another school year is upon us. This time ALL my kids are going to school. How does that happen?<br />
<br />
After many years of thinking we were going to keep the boys in the same kinder class, we decided last fall that we should split them up. We had a preschool issue that made us make that decision. So we met with the principal over the summer and we all sat down and discussed our goals and our thoughts of splitting the boys up. She thought we were very brave and smart to do that. She recommended putting them in the same class when homework becomes an issue - as you don't want three separate classes doing different homework. We also discussed personality of each kid so the principal could understand each kid before placing them with a certain teacher.<br />
<br />
There were some obstacles we had to figure out when we went to drop off supplies and meet the teacher before school started. Three boys, three classes...two parents. So we asked Lauren to help us and she took one Ian to his class and Mike and I each took a boy to their class. It was about 30 minutes of labeling, reading directions, and picking out a locker. The Scott triplets are already known in this school since Lauren went and we are good friends with a lot of the staff.<br />

<br />
Day 1 of kinder was full of emotions. I was not upset that my boys were growing up going to kindergarten, I was not excited, I was not sad, I was BUSY. I had three boys to get up, one girl to get up, four breakfasts to make, four lunches to prepare and three boys to get dressed (Lauren is on her own on that aspect of her morning) and out the door on time.<br />
<br />
We had the same dilemma on day one of kinder; so we had Lauren help us and we all split up again taking each boy to their class. I took Travis and he was fine when I said my goodbye and left him at his desk. I went to check on Logan and he was a little sad but not crying. I went to check on Ian and he was doing just fine. As I was saying bye to Ian, Lauren came up and said that Travis was crying. So I went back into the room and he was quietly sobbing at his desk. Yup..the waterworks started on me too! As I posted on Facebook as my status that morning, how do you give a pep talk when you have tears in your eyes. That just broke my heart. But I gave another hug and walked out of the classroom.<br />

It was a looooong day for Mom. I said for a long time that the first day of kinder I was not going to do any work around the house. I hung out on facebook, Mike and I went to lunch and then I waited patiently for school to be over to pick them up. <br />
Its is the end of week three of school and we have no problems getting to school, but I do hear some grumbling about going to school "tomorrow".<br />
<br />
Lauren is in her final year of middle school and is taking two credits of high school classes; spanish and alegbra. She also made the 8th grade volleyball team. <br />
<br />
All in all, the school year has started pretty well. We are busy with both school orientations, mandatory band and sports meetings, and I'm on the boys school PTA board. You would think I would find time to update this more often....hmmmmm<br />

Ever since I left Michigan at the ripe old age of 19 I have managed to make it home at least once a year. There was a couple of years after the boys were born that I didn't make it home but it seems we are back to our once-a-year visits!<br />
<br />
Of course we have to hit the Trufant flea market - no trip home would be complete without this (and sweet corn gorging). No picture there since I was trying very hard to keep the boys focused on walking and not going back to the car.<br />

What an awesome trip we had. There are no pictures from the visit we took to see Aunt Kathy. If there were you would see a boy or two throwing a fit, a cold dip in the pool, me pushing Keaton in the pool, Keaton then pulling me into the pool and a picture that was left on Kathy's phone that I'm sure she will not soon forget.Jill and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04116046534369590644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079927006924671819.post-25133336615568377502013-08-15T16:01:00.001-05:002013-08-15T16:01:45.054-05:005 years old...5????Yup, the boys are 5 years old. The time has flown right on by. I know it's the same old saying, but it's so true. Lauren is 13 and it's hard to believe that in 5 years she will be graduating high school.<br />
<br />
But keeping with tradition ;-), we had a birthday party for the boys. We just moved into a new house so I decided to call a gymnastics place for a party. The boys and their friends and cousin had a blast. Since the boys have summer birthdays I'm looking forward to having pool parties, but not just yet, for mama's sanity the kids have to be a little bit older.<br />

<br />Jill and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04116046534369590644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079927006924671819.post-45231164430900937302013-07-06T13:39:00.001-05:002013-07-06T13:39:30.428-05:00The move of 2013When we bought our last house in 2003 I said I would not move again. When I was pregnant with the boys it was discussed that we needed a bigger house than 3,000 sq ft to raise four kids; I quickly nixed the idea as I was too big to even consider moving. <br />
Just as we finished one of the major projects in the house (converting a formal living into an office), I happened to be checking out zillow.com and found a 5 bedroom just down the street. The only way I would move is if the layout was perfect for our family and the kids could stay in the same schools.<br />
<br />
We went and checked it out and both Mike and I loved it. It had a three car garage, plenty of room for all including the growing boys and Lauren and her friends for many years to come.<br />
<br />
After a long discussion and a second look we made an offer and it was accepted. We decided that we were not going to try to sell our house until we moved. Our agent advised that there were a couple families wanting to look at our house, so we did two informal viewings and on the second appt we had an offer for more than we had asked. <br />
<br />
The rest is history. I won't say that both sales went without some drama, but it was a pretty easy transaction for both houses.<br />
<br />
We closed on this house on the 14th of June and moved ourselves over the weekend and had movers on Monday (my birthday) to move the big stuff. We continued to move ourselves for the next 5 days. We worked from 7 a.m. until 10:00 each night from the day of closing. A family of 6 has a lot of stuff! ;-) I don't consider myself a pack rat and purge twice a year so I'm not sure where all this "stuff" came from.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics that I took today (minus the outside shot - that was when our offer was accepted). <br />

There are some nice features in this house but I was not prepared for "little" things to go wrong once we moved in. Mike calls them little things, but there have been many little things lately (one of them being the $2k dishwasher that leaks that the home inspector didn't find) and a couple days ago I had a defeatist attitude. I'm back to normal again and ready to tackle the "little" challenges this house may present.Jill and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04116046534369590644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079927006924671819.post-36836852594094769362013-06-02T22:03:00.002-05:002013-06-03T20:16:51.395-05:00wow - it's been awhileLike the title says, it's been awhile. Things really got busy back in March, nothing in particular just life. Then comes May and we found a house that is just perfect for our family.<br />
<br />
In order for us to leave our beautiful house both Mike and I had some stipulations. It must have a three car garage, 5 bedrooms, an adequate sized living area, a kitchen that is comparable to mine already, a bigger laundry room, and most importantly it had to be in the same neighborhood as I was not going to make Lauren change schools. Then blamo - there was a house that came on the market that I just happened to see on Zillow.com. Come to find out it is a house of a family that we had known a few years earlier. I knew they moved out of the area but had no idea that they kept the house. They also had triplets plus two other kids. They built this house to accommodate their family of 7.<br />
<br />
So long story short, we close on the house on the 14th of June. Our house is already sold too and if we can pan out a couple of issues this week then we will close on this house on the 25th of June.<br />
<br />
In May my sister and I concocted a plan to have me fly home for the weekend to surprise my Dad for his 75th birthday. I had previously thought about it when she had mentioned the dinner plans, but after looking at the prices of the flights I quickly talked myself out of it. But when she called and she brought it up (20 minutes after we offered to buy the house) I thought I better give it another thought. By that time the price had jumped $400. Luckily Mike had plenty of frequent flyer miles for me to use. The week of the trip was so busy that I had to keep a list of all the things that I had to do that day - each day was a whole page worth of things. It was such a crazy week. But I'm so glad that I went for the weekend. It was so wonderful to spend some time with the family and have no responsibility for anyone but myself.<br />

It was so good to surprise Dad and to see everyone. I actually surprised everyone - no one other than Brenda knew I was coming in for a quick visit.<br />
<br />
Ever since Mom passed away Brenda has taken over the duties of cleaning up the grave sites of our grandparents, great grandparents and aunts and uncles. I was able to help out that weekend, but we got a late start and was only able to make it to one cemetery but it was the important one; where mom is buried.<br />

As since I'm really into the genealogy of the family Brenda suggested that we stop and take pictures of my great grandparents farm, which is right around the corner from the house where I grew up. It was pretty cool to walk around the property and listen to Brenda tell me what she remembered when our great uncle lived in that house. I've always heard the stories from Dad, but Brenda had some great ones as well.<br />
<br />
Then we headed to the house where Dad grew up; again right up the road. We stopped and talked to the owners of the house and they were very excited to show us the work that they did on the inside of the house and allowed us to take pics of the farm. They even came across an aerial picture of the farm but didn't know when it was taken. As soon as I got home and showed Dad the picture he was able to guesstimate that it was taken in the late 60's early 70's.<br />

The kids really enjoy it and look forward to feeding the animals, especially the zebras and giraffes. It was a BIG disappointment that we didn't get close to the zebras and giraffes. We were about 10 minutes too early. They were off in the distance and made no effort to come our way until we moved to the next set of animals and there is no turning back. You know what that means right? Another trip this year ;-)<br />

I know my entries to this blog are few and far between. It's been quite the change to the household since the boys are no longer napping. No longer do I get to pick up the house for the 2nd tornado and dinner is never prepped - and therefore my blogging has suffered since I'm so exhausted after the boys go to bed. But sport season is coming up and the boys are playing blastball and Lauren has already started Lacrosse.Jill and Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04116046534369590644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079927006924671819.post-53684961950515679612013-01-30T22:15:00.002-06:002013-01-30T22:15:47.455-06:00I forgot!!!! Halloween 2012Looking back over my blog I see that I totally spaced out putting up what we did on Halloween. I also noticed that I was having trouble with blogger so it's not totally my fault ;-)<br />
