Well I thought I better stop being lazy and post
pictures of our trip last week. We left on Monday morning for St George were we met up with all of my aunts and my uncle from my Mom's side. We stayed in the new La Quinta in Bloomington. It was so fun! All of our rooms were next to each other so we could visit and play together. The pool was really fun for the kids because it had a big section that was 1 1/2 feet deep so even our runt Livie could walk around and play in the water. On Tuesday JR and I went to the St George Temple with my family so we could be with my Aunt Cathy as she took out her own endowments. We were asked to be the witness couple. It was so awesome! After the Temple we went to my Aunt Sueanne's in Bloomington and had a barbecue with everyone. We had a really good time and the food was awesome! My Mom and I went on
to Gina's house in Las Vegas and
spent the rest of the week with her. We went swimming at her mother in laws house and took the kids to the Leid Childrens Science Museum. It was a great week!

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
