Time to catch up + Giveaway Time

I truly can’t believe Friday has come once again! It seems so long away on Mondays, and then before you know it.. it’s the weekend!  I am linking up with Karli, who blogs on over at September Farm to tell you about five happenings with the Johnsons,this Friday!

First off, let me apologize for not really blogging in the last couple of weeks.  Once all my kids went back to school, I thought I would have the time/motivation to keep this going pretty steady.. but that didn’t exactly happen! So, I wanted to do a little catch up with you all and a pretty cool giveaway at the end!

  1. My oldest two went to get their updated psychological evaluations done, which I am pretty excited to see what the outcome of that is.  When children are in foster care, they must do this yearly to keep up with how the children are adjusting to their families, friends, foster parents, and overall environment.   I will be most interested in seeing a comparison from when they first came into the “system” to see where they are at now.
  2. My infamous overscheduling occurred again where I was supposed to take baby girl to get her monthly synergis shots at the same time as the boys needed to be taken out of school to make their counseling appointment on time.  Let’s just say.. Nana and Papa are the absolute greatest!!
  3. Baby girl has had some HUGE milestones happening lately, especially for a mircopreemie such as herself.  She is 9 months old (but 5 months old adjusted age since she was born 4 more months early), and for the first time is able to sit on her own (even if it’s for a little while), and making huge strides in weight growth  (baby girl is 15 pounds now which is so good for her), and making a lot of improvement in her ability to turn from back to belly!
  4. I spoke to the Lawyer for the first time who is going to be representing us in the fight for custody for baby girl! Nothing can be officially made until baby girl has been with us for 6 months, but hopefully soon we will know something regarding her case and where to go from here!
  5. I got all my boys a hair cut(including my husbands) and that was the best money I have spent in a long time! Their hair cuts have been WAY overdue, and we keep saying every time that “the next check we will make time to do it”, but I decided today was going to be the day, and they all LOVED it! They look so handsome and so grown up!!

** Now best for LAST!

Photoshoot time!

nephews

Just two days ago, I had the honor of taking two year old and six year old birthday pictures of my handsome nephews Rae’Sean(6) and Everett(2)! I loved how they turned out and wanted to share them with you all!  I loved by the end of the photo shoot Rae’Sean was asking to take more pictures in different spots, and was posing so cute!

I hope you enjoy them!!raesean7raesean6everett1everett4raesean-1img_6878img_6872everettimg_6858img_6826everett6everett2everett-1

How Lush!

For my birthday, my best friend bought me some fresh handmade cosmetics and I couldn’t wait to share them with the world! Lush cosmetics is a great line for women who are looking to stay all natural in their products, and know that what they are using on their body is good for them and the environment.

Each product is handmade and made right there in the back of their stores.

The gift box Krystle got me was compiled up of six products.  All the products are made to be used during the bath/shower and they smell amazing!  I have used a couple of them already and they literally leave your skin feeling so soft and so smooth! I can’t wait to especially use the facial moisturizer, because my skin is constantly dry!

The boxing is amazing and chic, and it list all the ingredients of each product, in the box.

If you are looking for a all natural approach to your skin and the make-up you use, this product is definitely for you!

Here is the link to their shop:

Happy Friday!
