The Johnson's: January 2011

Family Photo time

They can be so cute together!

We had a hard time keeping everyone focused and smiling. Does it ever work out perfectly?

A few pic's from our session with a photographer at the school.

We are outta here!

Las Vegas Temple

Dinner at the JW Marriott (where we also stayed)

Chris and I finally got a little vacation of our own thanks to the SVPOA, Heather Johnson, and Lora Kelly! Chris attended the PORAC convention in Las Vegas in Nov and I got to tag along. I enjoyed the time reading, attending the temple, and taking a few naps while Chris attended the classes. Both of us enjoyed many good dinners and good nights sleep! Can't wait till next year!

Garrett's 4th b-day

Garrett's probably used the Touchdown hero more to tackle than to practice throwing. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Di!

Cousin Jack was helping blow the candles out.

Our young man had been waiting for this day since Ryan had a birthday. He is a real tackler so we decided a football theme was appropriate. Theme meaning the cake was in football shape!

Our 6th Ward Primary

Cam 6 primary

We had an activity in primary where we put together a package for a 4 year-old girl who has a brain tumor. Gracie, her name, lives in another state who's family is friends with a family in our ward. The kids got together to make her get well cards. It was well received. This picture was taken with all the children that attended the activity (which is also most kids in the ward.)

Halloween shirts

I'm not sure if we have a single picture where all three are looking at the camera!

Grandma Johnson sent the kids some special Halloween shirts. Each message on the t-shirt was so appropriate for the child wearing it! Garrett's was best..."Beware of ghosts?...beware of ME!"

Halloween 2010

Garrett and Dad snacking.

Ryan, Annabelle, and Garrett collecting candy. Garrett must have so much he is having a hard time keeping his costume on!

Mom and Clarissa

Ryan's parade

Garrett had a party at school where mom, dad, and Clarissa were able to join in on the fun. Ryan had a parade at his school. We also went to our stake trick-o-treat for the night.

Ryan couldn't make up his mind. He ended up being an astronaut at school and a magician at the stake trick-o-treat. In the end, he wished he had been a magician the whole time because he loved the mustache!

What to do with her hair?

Still so cute!

Clarissa has fine blonde hair that is slowly growing in and also quite a few cowlicks to make it all look so lovely. The one nice thing she has going for her is the bit of curl on the ends. Many times her hair hangs in her face and she gets food in it. Barrettes, pony tails, you name it they fall out. One day we got a bit creative and put 5 or six pony tails in. Above are the results.

Pumpkin Patch

Mom felt bad about not taking Garrett and Clarissa to Underwood farms as she had in the past with the preschool so off we went as a family to another local pumpkin patch to get a few decorations for Halloween.

2nd B-day!

Posing with her kitchen.

She also immediately put on a Disney princess dress she got from Grandpa & Grandma Di.

It was all about pink for our little princess. She received a kitchen for her birthday where she pretends to feed her baby. It is so fun to see her play!
