In addition to Jones, Maynard Johnson and her husband Tyler Johnson share six kids together — Ricki, 17, Jennings, 7, Gibson, 6, Gatlin, 5 and Nola Belle, 2½.
The mom of sixwelcomed Jones in August, who was born with Down syndrome, as well as a rare congenital colon abnormality. “I am so grateful,” Maynard Johnson told PEOPLE exclusively at the time. “But I’m still on my journey of processing everything. And I have to trust that it will all turn out alright.”
“I was in shock,” Maynard Johnson recalled of when she was informed of the Down syndrome diagnosis. “It was not on my radar at all. And I refused to believe it. I just wanted to hold him and for everything to be OK.”
Jones was able to come home after a stay in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). When he finally was able to join his family, Maynard Johnson said she was relishing every moment with him.
In December, Maynard Johnsonposted a photo with all of her kids, including Jones, atDolly Parton’s festively decorated amusement park. “Number one on my bucket list: take my kids to@dollywood✔️✔️ ,” she wrote in the caption.
She also thanked her husband, whom she posed alongside wearing matching “Holly Dolly Christmas” sweatshirts, for the trip: “Thank you@mtylerjohnsonfor making all my hillbilly girl dreams come true ❤️.”
