Update!

So, I guess I am a crappy blogger!  Or I am awesome at everything else in my life and don't have time for blogging!  Yup I think that's what it is.  Anyway it has been a really long time since my last post.  We have been busy with the usual summer stuff.  Yesterday we went to Lagoon with JR's family and had a really good time. The girls will be starting school in a couple of weeks and I am soooo excited for that!  Gracie and Allie will be in school all day this year.  Allison was so excited to pick out a lunch box and know that she can eat in the cafeteria like a big kid.  Ruby is the cutest little nugget ever and JR and I both wish she could just stay 9 months old for ever.  She has two cute little teefers on the bottom and loves to eat absolutely anything.  Even lemons and pickles!  Olivia is as full of energy as ever and pretty much bounces off the walls up until she hits her pillow at night.  We are going camping one last time next weekend with my fam so I will try really hard to take pics and post them!

Well I guess I better update this thing. JR has been asking me to. I always feel like I am behind with all of the things I have to do and I don't take the time to throw anything on here. Since my last post Gracie was baptized and had Her 8th birthday and I turned the big 3.0. and we took a trip to Moab. We just got called to be a ward missionary couple so we are excited for that. We kind of knew that it was going to be us because when they announced it in church that they were going to be choosing a few families to do this I had a strong confirmation we would be one of them and I turned to tell JR that, and He was all teary eyed so I just patted His leg like "yea, I know." I told Him it's because He is mister "Hi how are ya?" And I kind of knew what I was signing up for when we got married. I have never met a person that didn't like JR from the get go. Hopefully we can translate this into befriending some of the less active families and helping them find out for themselves how much JOY can come from church activity. If anything we will become more educated on Gospel matters in the process. Anyway our kiddos are getting huge and are such awesome little girls. Ruby is a little leach and is rarely far from my grasp. She sucks Her thumb and likes to blow raspberries when She should be nursing. It's hard not to laugh when you are sitting in the mothers room at church and the sound of loud raspberries being blown is coming out of your nursing cover! I think she is going to be a little goof! Gracie is so smart and is 2 grade levels ahead in reading. She even bore Her testimony the Sunday after she was baptized. Afterwards She said "Mom my heart was pounding so hard that I just had to get up. Is that the Holy Ghost?" I told Her that it was and she said "well I hope my heart doesn't pound like that next sunday because that was SCARY!" Allison is doing great in Kindergarten and is about to graduate. Olivia is as crazy and wound up as ever and is just about done with Joy school. We are about to start our garden and are trying to get our yard a little more finished. Can't wait for the freakin' summer to get here already! So anyway here are the latest pictures! Enjoy!

Andy's Wedding!!!Woo!hoo!!!

Yesterday was a perfect day!  Andy and Lisa got married in this awesome old LDS chapel in the avenues of Salt Lake.  They looked so happy and you could just tell that they are so much in love!  It was such a happy day and I think everyone there would agree that it couldn't have been better!  I am just glad that they didn't run away to Vegas to get married!  All of the little girls looked so cute and had fun running around and they just love their new Aunt Lisa.  I tried to take some pictures but I had a fussy baby so most of them are kind of blurry.   I can't believe it is over and they are married and now Lisa is part of the family. Enjoy the pics.  Her dress was exquisite!

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.
