I Got Lost

I have been totally lost in LIFE. Does anyone else do the same. Here are some things that have been going on in our lives lately. I will post pictures later but thought I could at least put an update on.

1. CHILDREN/NO NAPS ( isn't that how it works your time if no naps is non existent.)

2. BOOK TABLE (preparing for my classes that have been coming up every two weeks even though I should only have 1 class a month.)

3. JONAH (had an echo and I had been consumed with the stress of knowing what the turn out was going to be. They thought that his heart was growing. It turns out that everything looks great. So we are going back in six months and then we will be able to go yearly to the Cardiologist. Wahoo what a relief.)

4. FAITH (ballet practice and her recital which turned out to be darling and so cute I will have to put pics of that.)

5. NO NAPS (did I happen to mention that already)

6. RAIN ( I swear it needs to stop so that I can plant all my flowers that need to be planted because I bought them about 1 week ago and they need the ground.)

7. GREG (He has been working out of town more often or coming home later for work then for sure you get nothing done. You know what I mean. Also he has camp coming up for the priests and who knows what else. He seems to be always busy.)

8. INTERNET (we finally got someone in the ward to come over and help us with our wireless Internet to get it working and he was fantastic at that.)

9. MANDI (is there ever anytime for your self. It doesn't ever seem like it especially when you need a break.)

10.BIRTHDAY (Faith turned 4 and she wanted a new room and a big bed for her birthday. So we redid here room with a Cinderella bed as she calls it. It turned out so cute I will also have to put pictures up of that.)

Well those are some things that have been keeping us busy. I am sure all of your lives are like that also. It is never ending but the good thing is we all have time for our families. I love my family. Even though at times you need a break.

Recipes

This post I did for Grandma Johnson. I hope you like them. It was a class that we took. Happy St. Patricks Day. It is corned beef and cabbage if any one else would like ot try them.

Two Teeth

Jonah just got his first two teeth. I think they are to cute. He was getting them all through the holidays which didn't make it especially fun. But they are here now Wahoo!

He is doing great except for this week he had the stomach flu and Greg was out of town. It was not fun and no sleep. But we are on with a new week YEH!

Sunbeams Already!!

Faith went to sunbeams today (no more nursery wahoo). I can't believe that she is old enough to go to primary. She was excited they gave her a CTR ring and made a crown that said Choose the right. Her teachers are Brother and Sister Harris. They are cute and will be great.

Time goes by way to fast.

Bob the Snowman

Faith wanted to build a snowman forever and finally Greg went out and helped her make her snowman. I think Greg got carried away with the size. Faith decided that his name was BOB.

After all there hard work (Greg's work) the next morning we awoke and found that Bob had been knocked over by some not very nice boys. Faith was not happy and cried.

Our Christmas Season of 2009

This post is a little backwards.

Jonah in his new hat the Johnson's gave him. He is growing up to fast.
Faith is holding a store that goes along with her house that she got last year.
She loves it and plays with it all the time.

Faith has a black nose if you notice this was on Christmas Eve at breakfast with the Johnson family. Santa's elves always come and count the night before to make sure everyone is accounted for in the house. She did not want to wash it off.

The Johnson clan at temple square seeing the lights. It was chilly but we had a fun time. The Girls and children rode the front runner to SLC from ogden and the met the boys for dinner and went to see the lights. Merry Christmas

Thanksgiving

LET"S ALL JUST SAY BEAUTIFUL!!

I know is that not the most beautiful turkey you have ever seen. I couldn't believe it myself. It was my first time cooking a turkey and I went all out to do the bacon wrapped one. Thanksgiving was great to see all of Greg's family at the church it was wonderful to have it at the church because of the room and the kids could just run in the gym.

I have so many things to be grateful for especially this year they have come into play. 1. first and for most family and the gospel. They have to go together. You can't have one with out the other. Well you could but you wouldn't want to. 2. Atonement- this has played a big part in our lives this year as it should every year. But especially because of Jonah. How much Christ did for all of us and what he has made possible to be together forever. 3. Greg - He is a hard worker and everything I wish I could be better at. That is how it should be but I need to try harder to make us equal to have him is a blessing. 4. Kids - I know family was number one but they are all important as individuals too. What can I say they make you grow each day to better yourself and to be an example. Even though most the time they are the examples to you. 5. Support- In all aspects of our lives this year. 6. Service- the greatest thing you could do for others. That was definitely been applied in our lived and being served. Makes you very humble.

I could go on and on and on but I am so grateful for all the blessing Heavenly Father has shown me and given me this year through our struggles and hard ships. Part of that is because he can't bless us enough if we don't have experiences or trials that make us better. Thank you to him and all of you for your help and support. Love all of you. Happy Thanksgiving.
