Visitors!

This week we had a great visit with my SIL Tiffany and Nephew Ethan. We didn't have them for every long but we loved seeing them. We took them on Thursday morning to Colombian park zoo here in town and here they are sitting in the tube that goes right through the river otters pool.

The kids loved the monkeys, they were nice and active that morning and we had fun making noises with them and watching them swing around.

The wallaby's are always fun. This wallaby had a little baby in his pouch but I couldn't get a good picture.

Ethan, Miranda and Jacob had so much fun together. It was so great to see you Tiffany and Ethan and we hope we get to see you again soon. We love you, thanks for coming!

Hair

Do you ever feel like you are always wondering what to do with your hair. Well latley it has been very hot so it just goes up everyday, but not anymore. For my birthday one of our sister missionaries came over and cut my hair for me and we went a little more drastic. I chopped it. I am still playing with it, training it, and figuring out the best way to do it but it is a fun change and we will see how it goes.

I'm so glad when daddy comes home. . . .

Steven has been in Spain for the last week attending a conference for school. He had a wonderful time (despite the fact I wasn't with him) but we are so excited to have him home!Welcome home love, we missed you lots

This is of us picking him up at the airport and he had the perfect things to greet the children, a ball for Jacob and a Spanish doll for Miranda
When we got home had had even more fun surprises for the Children,a beautiful dress for Miranda and a guy on a bike for Jacob. He went overboard and the kids loved it so much.

We missed you daddy and we are so happy to have you home!!! We love you!!

Garden

We have been having so much fun with our garden this year. It has taken alot of work but so far it has been worth it and we hope it will continue to be. We have been eating spinach and peas out of the garden and will soon be over run with tomatoes when they start to turn ripe. I also let Steven plant some spicy peppers along with our bell pepper and he has been enjoying those.
Yeah for gardening and fresh veggies!

Girls Camp

Last week we had the opportunity to go help out with girls camp. We were with the high adventure group (4th years) so we did repelling, floating down the river, hiking, and camping in a the tent. Because I went and Steven came to be a priesthood leader the kids had to come to. We had so much fun! Sorry no pictures because I packed the camera to well and didn't find it until the last day but we had tons of fun even being preggo.

Kirtland Ohio

While my parents were with us we were able to go and visit Sherri and Kevin in Kirtland Ohio. We had a great time and got to see all the fun sites. Thanks for having us Sherri and Kevin, we always have a wonderful stay at your home.

Miranda and Steven playing in Lake Erie. As you can see they had a great time and got very wet.

Father and son, aren't they darling!

All of us in the John Johnson home where Joseph received many revelations including Jesus Christ appearing to him.

It's Always fun when Grandpa (and Grandma) Comes. . . . .

My Mom and Dad have been here visiting us for the last week and we have had so much fun. The kids have just enjoyed having the time to spend with them. While they were her we spent time at the local zoo, went hiking, did projects around the house, and spent three days up in Kirtland. It was very busy and wonderful. Thanks for coming Mom and Dad we loved having you!

Miranda loved to sit and do sudoku puzzles with grandpa, she got to put all the numbers where they go.
