Austin Got Married!

My little brother Austin married his high school sweetheart Mary Rogers on December 20 2013. It was a marathon wedding with the sealing performed by Elder Bednar in the Bountiful Temple and a reception that night in Rexburg. I was able to do their cake for them but it had to travel from Logan to Bountiful to Rexburg between the kids so by the time we got there it had some damage. They were happy with it and it was delicious which is all that matters in the end. 

Steven's Christmas program

He did such a cute job! I can't believe how fast my little man is growing up!

Thanksgiving and Birthdays

This year for Thanksgiving mom and dad rented a cabin up near Post Falls where Jordan and Lindsey live.  Lindsey was blessing her baby and they wanted us to all be able to get together. We were a little nervous about the trip since it took us through the same pass at the same time of year that we had our accident at three years ago. Luckily the twelve hour drive went well.  We had so much fun just relaxing with the family. We were able to get together with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson and Grandma Jenny and Scott's parents.  

 I think Dee spent more time in the basement watching football than anywhere else. It was much quieter down there so I can't really blame him.

Since everyone was together and we had Steven and Natalie celebrating birthdays the next week we let 

the kids decorate their own cakes and had a little party for them.  

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for all that I have been blessed with included my big, wonderful family.

Oh Christmas tree

With Thanksgiving being so late this year and the fact that we were leaving town we decided to put up the tree before Thanksgiving. The kids always love pulling out their box of ornaments and placing them on the tree. Emma was so excited when we turned on the lights.  

Grammy came to town.

I was having a rough week. So my best friend called my mom and told her I needed her. She dropped everything that she was doing (college classes, wedding prep, etc.) and came to rescue me. I am so grateful for my sweet, beautiful mom. 

Train Show

We love being able to go to the train show with Scott.  The kids loved watching the trains and of course riding one.  They got to drive a train in a simulator and we are very glad they will not be driving any time soon.
