Random Thoughts

Its been an uneventful few months in the Johnson household. I think everyone is waiting for nice weather to get out of the house. Everyone is working, going to school or playing a game system it seems. When we have gotten out recently its either been going to a relatives house for a get together or celebrating Easter. Here a few recent pics of the boys who are growing way too fast!

Harlem Globetrotters

Went to see the Harlem Globetrotters with Cody and Jordan this past weekend at the Altoona Jaffa Shrine. It was Jordan's first time seeing them while we had taken Cody when he was just older than Jordan. Both boys enjoyed the event.

Belated Christmas Pictures

Mom moved out the week for Christmas but that didn't stop us from celebrating Christmas first at Angelita's parents Christmas Eve with Micheal and Rebecca, at our house with Santa delivering presents for the boys then spending some time at the farm as well Christmas day.

In Orlando last week

I traveled to Orlando last week for training from Training Magazine Institute with Alan Klein from my office in ITS Training Services for Penn State. We were there for 4 days staying at the Buena Vista Palace and Spa which was a very nice hotel in Disney. Temperatures were actua;;y chilly when I first arrived but warmed up the last few days. In addition to getting sick for a day, I also had my first experience on a plane with a woman needing medical attention after going into insulin shock when flying down to Orlando. Here's some pics:

Happy Halloween

Jordan went Trick or treating last night at Morrison's Cove retirement community dressed as a Star Wars Stormtrooper. Today his school had a Halloween Parade. Angelita and I took him out last night and My mom and I went to see him in the parade. See the Pics!

I'm Famous (sort of)

Today I was the featured reader for the PopCandy blog on USAToday's Website. See Above!

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

Bedford County Fair

We went to the Bedford County Fair yesterday to see the crafts and eat good food! After some rain the morning the sun came out right in time for our arrival.

Road Trip: Day Two

Well we left Junction City, Kansas this morning around 9:00am. We traveled through Kansas City, more farmland in Missouri. We stopped for lunch in Boonville, Missouri at KFC then headed toward St. Louis. We saw the arch (again, excuse my pictures I'm driving while taking these) in St. Louis and finished our way through Illinois before stopping in Terre Haute for the night. Here is the photo evidence. We should arrive home tomorrow evening if everything goes as planned.

Road Trip, Day One:

I arrived late last night after Tornadoes hit near Denver last night. My flight was several hours late arriving. I attached a photo from the local newspaper today. Left Denver this morning, spent some time with the family, saying Hi/Bye to Madison, Nathan, Dan and Nicole. Then my mom and I left with me driving the moving van while my mom drove her vehicle. We arrived around the Colorado border near Burlington, Co for lunch. Then arrived in Kansas around 1pm. Kansas seems to go on forever with nothing but flat, farm land. Around the center of the state you actually see green grass again. Staying in Junction City tonight near the Kansas border tonight at a Holiday Inn. Its surprisingly hard to take pictures while driving a moving truck but here are a few I took before I left this morning and while driving today.

Rails to Trails

Went riding with Jordan on Sunday at the Rails to Trails in Williamsburg on Sunday. This particular trail is over 16 miles long and stretches from Holidaysburg to almost Huntington. We went about 4 miles and stopped along the river to walk on the rocks as well.

Angel's Birthday and Saving Abel

Angel and I celebrated her birthday Friday night by going to dinner and then seeing Saving Abel and Rev Theory in concert at Lulu's nightspot in State College. Afterwords we went out dancing with friends at the Saloon. Happy Birthday Honey!

Daughtry Concert

Angelita and I went to see Daughtry Saturday night at the Clearfield County Fair with our friends Dan, Cassie and Brenda. Here are some pics!

Happy Birthday Jordan! We celebrated Jordan's 6th Birthday last weekend with Family at his Nana and Pap's House in East Freedom. Jordan wanted to do a swimming birthday. He got many presents including the Mario Kart game for the Wii, race track, SpongeBob game and fishing rod, pirateship and a keyboard to learn how to play music. He has taken up a interest in learning on to play the piano on the farmers piano, so we hope to encourage him with this.

Cody's 15th Bday Party

We Celebrated Cody's Birthday recently here are some photo's! Cody saved most of his money he recieved in gifts for a new XBOX 360 which he has been playing religiously.
