Friday the 29th Camo was able to wear his Halloween costume to school. They have a costume contest and Camden wanted to win really bad. Each grade chooses 1 to 2 students as the winners of the contest. Camo just happened to be the 1 chosen as the WINNER for the first grade. He was so excited when he got home form school.
Sunday I took the boys trick-or- treating while Corey was at fire-hall. We only went to eight houses and with all the candy Camo and Cash got you would have thought we had been out all evening.(Yes, everyone filled Cash's trick-or-treat bag with goodies too. I think Camo will take care of the sweet treats for his little brother, though.

October 14th Cash turned 6 months old and that day we left town to go to Ruidoso. The night before we left Cash began army crawling all over the place.
We had a good time in Ruidoso. Camden rode go carts at Fun Trackers. He could not ride the really fast ones but he had a lot of fun on the Turtle Track.
When we got back home we got things ready for Cash to go into surgery on Tuesday morning. He did great and the Dr. was really pleased. Camo was such a concerned brother and told me he did not think Cash was old enough for surgery yest and was really upset.

In the meantime, Cash has gotten really good at his army crawl and has also began crawling on his hands and knees. Camden being the good big brother decides to play with Cash by putting a toy on the end of a blanket and then dragging it around just out of his brother's reach, making Cash "work" to get the toy by crawling all over the house. But, Cash did crawl all over and got the toy off the edge of the blanket more than once while Big Brother was trying to tease him.

Last night I was in the kitchen and Cash was crying wanting to be where everyone else was so he began crawling towards the kitchen. The crying stopped and I heard giggling. I looked to see what he was doing and he had PULLED UP on the edge of the recliner and was standing there looking at us as we stood in the kitchen. Camden was excited and told us he thought that Cash would start walking next week.... Let's hope not just yet... lol!

I will post some pics soon. :)

Today Cash is 5 months old!! I cannot believe how fast the time has just flown by. He is growing so fast. He loves to sit in his exersaucer to play and gets so excited. He wakes up around 1:30 every night to eat and then wakes up around 4:30 to play in his crib before HE puts himself back to sleep. He also LOVES his cereal. Cash has been rolling over to his stomach since he was about 3 months old and today out of nowhere he started rolling all over the living room!
Camo likes to play with him in the mornings before we leave for school. He is such a good big brother and helps out so much with Cash. Corey and I have been so blessed to have two amazing little boys.

2010 has been a busy year for the Johnston family. I know I was going to try and keep the blog updated since Corey was so busy, but I got so busy and just could not keep up either.
April 14 we welcomed Cash McLayne into the world at 11:07 a.m. weighing in at 7 lbs and 15 oz. 21 1/2 inches long. He is now 3 and a half months old with one tooth, and rolling over already! Time has just flown by so fast!
Camden has finished kindergarten and is fixing to turn seven and start first grade. he is growing up so fast and thinks he is so big. He loves being a big brother and Cash thinks Camo is pretty cool too.
Corey just had a birthday and is now officially a grownup.(I think)
He is still the sports broadcaster at KFLP here in Floydada and LOVES his job!

Henry's and Hamburgers

Several months ago myself and a couple of buddies all went to Estillene for a bar-b-q cook-off one afternoon. As we were ending the day we were asked if we would like to purchase raffle tickets for a Henry .17HMR Golden Boy Rifle. Well the cause was a good one and I am a fan of guns anyway, so what would it hurt right. Well one week ago today I got a phone call from the man drawing names at the Rodeo where it was to be given away. He told me that i had won the gun! After standing back up from falling out of my chair, I immediately asked about paperwork and ect. Well this weekend RaNay, Camo and I all went to Childress to pick up the gun and maybe eat some lunch while we were there. JT's drive-In in looked like a good place to stop and eat. It is a typical road-side greasy spoon with about 6 tables inside and three outside. Not much on the menu but simple items, burgers, fried shrimp, fish, ect. I decided on the Cheeseburger and so did RaNay, camden had the Steak Fingers and all of them were really good. But be advised that when dining at JT's remember that they only take cash money or local checks (within a 30 mile radius). And, of course I did not have any cash so I had to make alternative arrangements to obtain cash. Here are a couple more shots from our Saturday road trip.

This is how a wedding should be!!!!
