Sage Dental Baytown Texas Review | #dental #orthodontics #houston
It's not often that the Johnston Family strikes gold on the first try. It seems like we've had trial after trail after trial in our lives, and we've always has the redirect or pick up the pieces later. We moved to Mont Belvieu over the summer, and as you know, relocating your family also comes with the dreaded changing of schools, banks (small town!), doctors, dentists from , comfort zones, and so much more. However, the good news is, we happened across Sage Dental Baytown Texas, and we could not be happier! We are so impressed with this office, that…
I Voted – Presidential Election 2012 #election #president2012 #vote
I voted. Have you? I'm of the mindset that if you don't vote, you really don't have room, or even the right, to complain about who is elected into office! You just have to live with it! Before you head up to the polls, make sure you've taken a look at all the other candidates on the ballot, and educate yourself on their stand in your community, state, and nation. Go vote! It's your civic duty. I voted! I voted in early voting. - October 23

Halloween with the Johnston Gaggle! Check out our pics! #halloween
I know it's probably cliche to post Halloween photos of kiddos in the days following the main event, but I just wanted to share! Did you have a good time? We did! This year, Kylie was a nerd, Braxton was Captain Rex, Hawk was Mario, and Jett was Yoda! We're thankful that our neighbor let us borrow some costumes at the last minute. We're so bad about procrastinating! We ran across the street when the neighbors weren't looking and took a pic in front of their nice tree! Their yard is so much prettier than ours, and it made for…
Kylie won her very first race! | #run #race #3k #proudmama
Many of you may know my sister, Kara. Kara was/is the runner in our family. Growing up, she was fast, and an extremely talented runner. We have recently learned, though, that Kylie is following in her Aunt Kara's footsteps - literally. After trying out for the volleyball team resulted in the realization that having never played before is a surefire way to not make the team, Kylie decided to push herself to the limits during her athletic class and run with all of her might. We've heard several of her friends tell us that Kylie goes all out while running…
Horrible Photographer, I am. – Check out the cute… Trees. #photography
I joke with my friends that I'm a horrible photographer. I have friends who can snap a pic on the fly with their phones, and it won't need a bit of editing, and it can be gallery wrapped on a canvas and immediately hung in an art museum. Then there's me. Every pic I snap needs editing or deleting. I really think I'm going to start a "Horrible Photographer" series. Here's an example. This was actually a cute aphid on my windshield that I was trying to snap a pic of, but because I am a horrible photographer, I thought…
Flashing Blinky Lights Brandcation 80’s Party | #brandcation #pigeonforge
When I first heard that we were having a Flashing Blinky Lights Brandcation 80's party, I was stoked! I love the 80's! We had a lot of fun during the 80's party! There were tons of awesome costumes, flashy blinky things, homemade pizza, and just a ton of fantastic laughs and fellowship that was so much fun. If you plan to hold the party in your garden, consider putting up garden festoon lights that offer a soft glow to illuminate your landscape. Are these glasses awesome?? We each got our own, and of course, I put mine on green and it…
