Kou and Ken skateboard down a hill

URASOE CITY, Japan -- (April 16, 2009) Brothers Kou and Ken Johnston skateboard down a hill near our house. Once the older brothers do, Ken has no fear in trying ANYTHING. These are professional hooligans, please do not attempt any of these tricks at home. Kou smacked his head on the wall. That's me saying in Japanese: "Are you OK?" Of course I was talking to the thing I always talk to whenever these guys get started: the wall.

URASOE CITY, Japan -- (April 16, 2009) Kou Johnston skateboards down a hill near our house. These are professional hooligans, please do not attempt any of these tricks at home. Apparently, it's not an "official" ride down the hill unless something goes "Dahn" to the wall. This time is was the skateboard.

Kou takes a ride

URASOE CITY, Japan -- (April 16, 2009) Kou Johnston takes a ride on a skateboard near our house. Why do I suspect that eventually this is going to end with skinned up something and tears. Surprisingly it didn't. Although he did his head head one time.

Kou designs Mud Pants

URASOE CITY, Japan -- (April 15, 2009) Kou Johnston shows off the mud designed pants and flip flops he sported after slipping and falling into the mud puddle underneath the swings at our local park. No problem. Sprayed him off with the hose and he was ready for more action.

Kou first ride on a two-wheeler

URASOE CITY, Japan (Feb. 22, 2009) --Kou learned how to ride a bike today. I held the back of the seat for 50 feet, let go and Kou amazingly didn't need anymore of my help. He was able to ride the bike the rest of the afternoon without anyone's help. It was like he had ridden a tw0-wheel bike before. But this was his first day learning without training wheels. Amazing!

Look ma no brakes

wont go inside boy

URASOE CITY, Japan (Feb. 18, 2009) Ken Johnston refuses to go inside while trying to ride a scooter. Everyday for about an hour, the boys play outside in our vain attempt to try to get them to release some energy. Like playing golf, all it really does is just increase my stress level.

WWF RAW (Cage match)

URASOE CITY, Japan -- (Feb. 9, 2009) From parts unknown Kou "the killer" Johnston uses a "folding chair" to entice Kai "the screamer" Johnston down from the top of the "squared circle" in this no-holds barred cage matchup at the Johnston METRODOME on Monday. Referee Tomoe and Ken Johnston stand off to the side to ensure they miss the 1-2-3 count like all professional refrees in wrasslin'.

Johnston Jackass (Season 2)

URASOE CITY, Japan (Feb. 9, 2009) Kai -- in mask --, Kou and Ken run around the house. Kou slips and falls in the video. I guess I shouldn't laugh when this stuff happens but I guess laughing is better than screaming at them to !@!# the !#$#@! up. Sorry this is best quality for this video from my cell phone.
