the 'gear' in tow<br />we headed to Elmo, Utah on Thursday night.<br /><br />George spent the morning sighting in his bow,<br />so that when the time came he could make 'the shot'!<br />Then for the rest of the day he hung out with<br />Mikie, James, Maria & I.<br /><br /><strong>{THE HUNT} - DAY 1<br /><br /></strong>5 AM - George & Pete wake up and get ready<br />to head up Huntington

James, Shane,<br />Thomas, Maria & I for a quick sandwich.<br />3:40 pm - Head back up to take the<br />first 3 mentioned boys for a 'hike'<br />5 PM - Meet back up with us and head down the

The kids loved to spend the weekend together and teh Easter Bunny would always find who ever was away from home. The last several years we have not been making the trip, and either has the Johansen family.<br />This year at the flast minute The Johansen's decided to make the trip! It was GREAT, we loved being able to spend time visiting, the kids enjoyed running and playing, we even fit in a family BBQ! I hardly ever have a camera with me anymore so I didn't get many pictures. I did pull out my phone and capture a few of the kids playing ball!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQ7h2Ccl4AfSt1SWgF7ZWUrV-Cj7EBujAEJDasrSBFW9LUvYxeCGBWmznugQYZZBLDeznZQyMPWne3gE4bdObIIwqGoz-IHv9kEhqekdQJb-KQeOW6XkIS8RgbWp5AtzTpr5YX8XvIGw/s1600/Easter+2010.jpg"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQ7h2Ccl4AfSt1SWgF7ZWUrV-Cj7EBujAEJDasrSBFW9LUvYxeCGBWmznugQYZZBLDeznZQyMPWne3gE4bdObIIwqGoz-IHv9kEhqekdQJb-KQeOW6XkIS8RgbWp5AtzTpr5YX8XvIGw/s1600/Easter+2010.jpg"><img style="width: 406px; height: 567px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQ7h2Ccl4AfSt1SWgF7ZWUrV-Cj7EBujAEJDasrSBFW9LUvYxeCGBWmznugQYZZBLDeznZQyMPWne3gE4bdObIIwqGoz-IHv9kEhqekdQJb-KQeOW6XkIS8RgbWp5AtzTpr5YX8XvIGw/s320/Easter+2010.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 50% transparent; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524471343162835532.post-17207822258117309612010-05-08T19:43:00.003-06:002010-05-08T20:54:17.358-06:00Family...<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">In February, George was home for a whole week and we went on this hike.

Leroy and Anne aren't to fond of fireworks, the loud booms and all of those flashing lights are a little unsettling to them. They sat by Mikie for a few minutes at the beginning for some comfort (he was inside, not a firework fan himself!) Then they took off towards the back of the house. After the excitement was over I went in search of the two little pooches and this is where I found them................<br />

I wasn't expecting anything at all, with it being Sunday & having George on the other side of the continent! Thanks mom for being our personal flower delivery service!!! George was in Virginia, he was able to come the week before and spend 5 days at home! To us that is A LOT of time! He tried to take me out a couple of times, but between spending time with the kids, helping with a ward service project, having unexpected family show up from Michigan, a Sunday and then a Monday Family Night we were never able to break away! It was great to just be together as a family. It is amazing to me how much some take for granted just being together everyday. We are very thankful for the fact that George HAS a job and for the sacrifices that he makes for our family, but we can't wait for the day that he will be home with us all of the time! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwfoaVSkqgvPZrzOo1iddxVaIgLQCyztWLZF6m6UxbJ8V2LWR6S6LPtUTiZXQyFh8UGnLnNvLajWGatW7pP1W0foz2mcNdBKGshQXTh6_lNpGlCBMd_bm56lQ7BjoXY_8FbU1zdnNPjA/s1600/anniflowers.jpg"><br />

It is a food co-op, using collective purchasing to get high quality food at prices reserved for grocery stores and restaurants. Cutting the middle man out saves TONS of money! The cost to buy in is $15-$25 each week. There is also a $1.50 handling fee each week and a $3 first basket fee. You never know what you will be receiving (just like opening a present each week!) You receive 50% fruits 50% veggies, and there are usually add on's that you can purchase. Such as bread, Asian Packs, Italian Packs, Mexican Packs. These include items that are generally used when cooking those types of meals.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Last night I was privileged enough to attend the temple with the youth in our ward. I watched in amazement as these Young Women and Young Men took time out of there crazy busy schedules to serve their Lord and those souls that have been waiting for so long on the other side of the veil for their work to be done. Those that rode with me then went to the Visitors Center and walked through the Reflections of Christ Gallery. To have the opportunity to be with these wonderful daughters of God and feel His spirit so strongly is such a blessing to me. I am so grateful for the things that they teach me and for the privilege of getting to know them better.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524471343162835532.post-60429774063413176742009-12-05T21:58:00.000-07:002009-12-05T21:58:51.440-07:00Christmas Dance Recital...Jenni had her Christmas dance recital tonight.

You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.<br />
<br />
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second.<br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.<br />
<br />
This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking to time to support our military!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524471343162835532.post-39248905025851540992009-11-21T14:41:00.002-07:002009-11-21T14:47:22.861-07:00moving on....from this... <br />

</div>I started a new group this last week, I am really excited about. It is a Block of the Month Club. Each month we make a new quilt block and at the end of twelve months we will have a completed quilt! I have never quilted so this will be a new experience for me and I cant wait to feel that satisfaction of completing something new. It is a rag quilt, after it is all put together and it is washed for the first time all of the edges will fray, it is so cute I am so excited! Here is my first block...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524471343162835532.post-6457199489723302992009-10-13T22:28:00.000-06:002009-10-13T22:28:51.628-06:00Update...My bad! I guess that Mikie knew all along that it was a Sadies invitation! Jenni woke up to the dogs barking and sat in the front room and watched them saran wrap Mikie's truck! She thought it was pretty funny that when she flicked the porch light off and on that they all scattered pretty fast! Mikie said that they had woke him up as well but he wasn't about to interrupt their plans, and needless to say he was a little upset that Jenni almost interfered!<br />
<br />
He has been thinking up some pretty creative ways of answering her, I will let you know what he decides to do...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-524471343162835532.post-54696331626326594112009-10-13T12:20:00.001-06:002009-10-13T12:25:18.835-06:00Well it happened...Mikie has been patiently waiting to be asked to Sadie's. He woke us up this morning at 3:30, (as he was leaving for his FFA trip to Snow's College) saying, "She did it again!"<br />
<br />

I went & looked out the window and there were several figures huddling around Mikie's truck. I couldn't figure out what they were doing, but I could tell it was kids. I went to Mikie's room and he was still awake so I told him that there was someone messing with his truck, he hopped up and was going to run outside, thankfully the door was locked & that stopped him. They had heard the noise from the door and all took off running. After a few minutes they came back and we just watched them for a few minutes. Mikie was sure that it was a someone asking him to go to Sadie's with them. He got up the next morning and went out to check it out... Saran Wrap everywhere, but No dance invitation. Needless to say he was disappointed, and when he found out that it was just a few friends that were bored he just shook his head. George was trying to get a little rivalry going, but Mikie said no.<br />
<br />

Thinking that it was the same friends as last time he didn't give it a second thought and go check things out. He wasn't planning on driving today anyway, because he was low on gas. I had told him that he could take my van and if I needed it I would have George run me over to get it. (I didn't want to wake up at 3:30 am!!! Although I did anyway, but I didn't have to get out of bed so as Martha Stewart would say, "that is a good thing".) I thought about texting him and telling him that it was a Sadies invite, but then thought No I don't want him to be distracted during his competition. Knowing Mikie that would be the only think that would be on his mind for the rest of the day! (all of those kids on the bus with him owe me BIG TIME!!! He would be driving every one crazy!!)<br />
<br />
I couldn't figure out who it was, so I went to Mikie's Face Book wall and looked up his friends list... Now I know! But I will keep that to myself until he actually finds out that he has been invited! :)<br />
<br />
Next up, what will he come up with to answer.... <br />

We stopped in Las Vegas to pick up George's brother Mike. (Mikie choose to stay home so that he wouldn't miss school.)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">We headed to San Diego for the Memorial Service of George & Mike's Aunt Mary. She was diagnosed with simple cell cancer three years ago. She had many ups and downs. Although it was sad not to see Mary & her smiling face. She was always so welcoming to our family. We will all miss her terribly. We are thankful that we have the gospel in our life and know of our Heavenly Fathers' plan for us. We are thankful that her pain and suffering is over and the knowledge that she is now in a much better place. It was nice to see George's Uncle Tim & Cousin's Lindsey & Krista. Even though we weren't able to spend much time visiting with them (they had alot of people vying for their attention!) We enjoyed the moments that we did have.

It was 9:30 in the morning and completely foggy! The visibility was probably about 1/8 of a mile. Jenni and I took a short walk along the coast line, snapped a few pictures and then headed out.<br />

Jenni had a grand time along the shore and it didn't take her long to head further out to the waves. She was making her mom nervous with how deep she was getting, but being the good sport she is when I waved her in she simply came without complaint. She was able to find a deeper hole right along the shore that kept her occupied for quite some time. I had to persuade her that it was dinner time (actually way past) and she was pretty good about it she only asked for 5 more minutes!<br />
<br />
We love the Beach... But I for one LOVE the dry air and Washington City even more! Even Jenni said (as we came into St. George) It is good to be home!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">I was fortunate enough to have a friend give me a <u>ton</u> of tomatoes over the weekend. This was my first attempt at canning tomatoes and I have to say it wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be! I should have attempted this years ago!!! (Lets just say it has taken my many many years to begin to be domesticated, I was to busy working. But, I do enjoy it!) And I know that I will defiantly enjoy these tomatoes later in the year!</span><br />

It is a new BOOK!!!I will be starting a new book in my life. (After all if it where a new chapter I would kinda know what to expect!) I kept thinking that maybe they would change their minds or decide that somebody else was really suppose to be called to the position. I was called into the Bishop's office almost a month ago, It was kind of like being called to the Principals office, only I was pretty sure I hadn't done anything wrong this time!<br />
I tried to tell our Bishop that maybe he should take some more time. I hadn't realized that he was one for practical jokes, but he assured me that he was making the right call, & that I would come to know that also. (I haven't hit that point yet!)<br />
Up until about an hour ago, I figured he could go back on the whole thing. So what that they had released me and others from our callings and called and sustained us in sacrament meeting to these new positions, Who cares that I had to bare my testimony at the spur of the moment (every one knows of my fear of people right!). We hadn't been set a part so it wasn't really 'official' yet right! But that time came and instead of the Bishop getting up and saying "Just Kidding!" he actually did set us all apart for our new callings. WOW! Every one is very supportive and says that we will all do a great job, I am glad that everyone has so much confidence in me, I will be pulling it from them time and time again through out the next few years. I have made all of the calls and am going to TRY to get my Sunday Nap in before I have to preside over my first Young Women's Presidency Meeting..... Oh My, Heaven Help me!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
