We had very exciting news at the end of summer, we received our 9th grand baby!!
Maxwell James Johnson was born Augusr 31. He was 20'. 5" long and weighed 8lbs 14oz.
He was a big boy!!
We are so happy that he arrived safely, and even 2 weeks early!
Lindsay was happy about that but even more happy that he was a natural birth and not caesarean(as with Ivy).
He is so darling! We are excited to welcome him to our family!
And more exciting new beginnings...4 grandkids in school now! Wow!!
Brooke is in Grade 3 and McKinley is just starting Kindergarten, she loves it! They are going to the new school that just opened near their new home, so they just walk to school together each day. So fun for them!!
Ava has just started in Grade 2, and looks so grown up, she likes like she could be going off to college.
She and Joshie are both going to a new school this year.
Joshie is excited to start Kindergarden this year. He loves his new teacher!
Phoenix has become one of our favorite places. We think it is beautiful there, especially it's sun rises.
We visited our home there for a week in August, and I caught this sun rise the day we were leaving.
My brother Kevin and his wife Joeen came down from St George to visit us in Phoenix for several days.
We took a fun trip to Sedona. They had never been there and were awestruck with the beauty of that area!
We had so much fun together!!
We love the Sedona area and enjoy it when we can visit there or take family or friends there!
We loved this picture, but I especially love this guy!!
We have some great memories of our trips to Arizona!
A few weeks, later Dad and I had the opportunity to do a quick road trip in four days to Jackson Hole, Wy.
We went to Cardston to attend a session in the Temple first. We then drove south and caught this beautiful picture of 'Old Cheif' mountain during a storm!
The next day, we planned our drive to go south through Yellowstone National Park and enjoyed the beauty of the park and watched "Old Faithful' erupt!
Yellowstone was one of first dates, and we have such sweet memories of this place!
We wanted to take a picture 39 years later. Wow!!
We are so grateful for the many blessings that have come because we've stayed together since that first date!
We went up and through the Teton Pass, the Grand Teton mountains are gorgeous!
My brother, Kevin, was playing in the band, "Most Wanted" in Jackson Hole and invited us to come hear him play and have some fun! So we did, and it was so much fun watching him play, he is very good on the bass guitar! We met all the band members, they are so cool!
Just 5 miles north of Jackson Hole is a little town called Wilson. Kevin was excited for us to go over and explore it together. Our great great uncle Nicholas Elijah Wilson founded this town.
We had great fun driving around Wilson together, 3 of us packed in our little 2 seat convertible!
We had lunch near the river and truly felt Uncle Nick ate on that exact spot!!
What a great road trip and fun memories!!
