Thanksgiving with John, Kadin and Ginger

We had the best time! The kids played in the snow. We went to Jeepers, and a the worlds largest Christmas store. We had a great Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to have them here. I loved hanging out with John, making him go to the mall with me to shop, seeing "Twilight" and just talking and laughing alot. I have the best family ever!

Mark is 7... October 26, 2008

Mark had a great birthday. First we got to see Grandma and Grandpa Ewell in Kirtland. They gave him some money and he said "YES, I love money!" Then he had a big friend party with 15 kids and a family party. He really wanted a basketball, he has been getting really good at sports lately. He had a really great weekend. I cant believe he will be baptized next year.

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Ewell in Kirtland

It was so much fun to see grandma and grandpa Ewell in October. The kids had so much fun riding on the bus and seeing the church history sites.


Halloween 2008


Halloween was so much fun. We went to the "friendly forest" where the kids got candy from all kinds of characters. Then we went to Ellie's school Halloween party. And of course we went trick or treating in the neighborhood. (all on differnt days of course) They got SO much candy!

Grandma Johnson came to visit in October 2008


We had so much fun when grandma came to visit. She is a little trooper we went all over this state. We went to Mackinac Island and rode bikes 8 miles around the whole island. She didnt miss a beat. Went to the Grand Hotel where Somewhere in Time was filmed. We went to a butterfly farm, to a hay maze, a pumpkin patch. We loved seeing all the pretty fall colors and everytime we would see a pretty tree Grandma would say "STOP" I have to take a picture. We also went to Lake Huron and Lake Michigan and did some really beautiful hikes. We all had a blast, and were so glad she came.

Markys 1st day of First Grade September 2008

I cant believe Mark is starting 1st grade. I was really having a hard time with having him gone all day. He is doing really well though and loving school. He has a great teacher, so that makes it easier for me to let him go. He is growing up to fast, now he is gone all day at school its kind of sad to me. I guess thats life, I cant freeze him as my baby forever... dangit.

Marky started soccer

Marky started soccer and really loves it. When he is out on the field he constantly yells, "Mom, Dad...are you watching me?" We can't turn our heads for one second without him knowing it. He loves to run so I think this is a good sport for him.

At a cider farm in Michigan

We took the kids to a cider farm. They are so fun. You can feed the animals, and pick apples and have fresh apple cider and donuts. I love Michigan because of fun stuff to do like this with the kids.



Ellie's first day of preschool September 2008

Ellie was so excited to start preschool. We painted her nails and toes and she picked out a princess backpack and some shoes she really liked. She was really excited to have her own locker. She is loving school and doing so good!





Her second day of school outfit... What a cutie! She loves to dress up and look pretty.

Marky lost another tooth September 2008


Marks teeth are falling out like crazy, and he couldnt he happier to get the money. This tooth was funny though... He lost it at school and when I asked him how it fell out he said I was sticking my tongue out at a girl and it fell out. I should be so proud.

Fancy Nancy!

Ellie is on her way to a Fancy Nancy party. She is all dressed up and ready to go!

August 2008 Johnson Family Reunion in California

We had so much fun with all the Johnsons in Newport this summer. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Johnson for a great time! Daniel and Marky are having a blast on the harbor cruise.


Adam's 3rd Birthday! August 5, 2008





The first thing Adam said when he woke up on his birthday is "I want cake". So he helped me make it that morning. I think he was more excited about his chocolate cake than anything else. He had a great day, It was so fun to be at Grandma and Grandpa Ewell's for the summer! I cant believe he's 3.
