Fun with the Johnson's

Dallas, Tim and Emery came to visit on the way to Logandale. Dallas and I had a lot of fun with our camera's. We took lots of pictures mainly of the kids. It made me want to live closer to all my siblings. It also made me want to get the kids together more often. They are getting to the age where they can play more together.

Thanks for stopping by. You guys are always fun to play with! :)

Dinky's Birthday!

Dinky had his first birthday on the 19th. I am bad and am now just getting around to posting about our fun dog. Here are 5 reasons why we love our dog in no specific order:

* He has lots of energy to play

* He loves to sit on my lap and watch cartoons (almost every morning)

* He has black and brown hair

* He loves to be crazy dog and run around with me (pretty funny)

* His brown eyes (he is the only one in the family with brown eyes)

Dantzel and James LOVE LOVE LOVE Dinky. When he is not around Dantzel doesn't like it. James has learned at an early age to play catch with him. It is great when Dinky drops his little soccer ball at his feet. James thinks it is pretty cool as well.

SwiMming With DadDy

We had to settle for going swimming at the Rec. Center instead of Lake mead last Saturday. I guess it all worked out. I really didn't want to go to the lake on a windy day. I am also not sure the water at the lake is warm enough to swim in. How do you tell two little kids that love water that they can't swim? We had fun, and it was a lot closer to our house. We even got to come home and take a little nap. Yippee!

Clark County Fair

We had a lot of fun this year at the Clark County Fair. It was a little different then most years...we didn't go to the rodeo. That is actually one of my favorite things. Taking to kids is a little harder then you would expect. They don't let you sit through shows. I take that back we did get to see the monkey show. It was good but, not my favorite. All and all it was a good day. We were sure tired when we got home. I think both my kids went to bed before 8:00 pm. That doesn't usually happen unless Brandon is out of town. :)



Sorry I took so many pictures. It was fun watching the kids with all the animals.


Donkey's and Pigs

Goat's and Rooster

This was the nicest goose I have ever seen!

Cow's and a steer (this one is actually a boy in our wards) Gotta love that big black tongue.

Dantzel's favorite place at the Fair. We spent a lot of time here. She even has a sand box at our house but, she still loves that sand at the fair! :)

Grateful to be alive!!!

As I think about my life, it makes me very grateful for all the "things" I have. Brandon's Grandma and Grandpa Rice are lucky to be alive after what happened to there motor home last Sunday. As you can see in the pictures... it caught fire. Thank goodness they were not sleeping or somehow stuck inside. They were actually at a gas station getting gas and propane. Grandma was inside the motor home when she saw and smelt smoke. She got out but, as she tells me it was a little tricky getting her seat belt off. Somehow it was stuck. In a matter of seconds and minutes they got to watch and witness there motor home and house for the past 5 months go up in flames. How sad that would be to watch everything you had burn. Grandma told me "I looked down at myself and thought, this is all I have, the clothes on my body". Thank goodness they still have a beautiful home to go back to in Bountiful. I guess it is also a good thing they were on there way home for the summer instead of just on there way out. As Brandon and I tell Grandpa...I guess you can actually get the motor home of your dreams now. Grandma doesn't have any reason not to want him looking on eBay anymore. It is too bad that they have to do it this way instead of either selling or trading the old one. When all is said and done we are just happy and very grateful we still have our Grandparents around.

Updated puppy pictures

Dantzel loved going to Linda's to see the puppies. I think she would have stayed at her house with the puppies all night if we would have let her. James wanted to stay with Linda as well.

The puppies are about ready to leave there mommy. If you know of anyone who is interested in buying a tea cup chihuahua please let me know. Linda is going to start advertising them within the next week or two. She has 1 Female and 3 Males.
