HAPPY MONDAY !!!!!!!!!

We woke up this morning to 14 inches of snow.... and we are supposed to get 4-8 inches more. 

GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!

We voted for a road trip this weekend so we could see Conley and also see the Steelers win...
Rub A Dub Dub two men and a lady in the tub, they had fun playing and pouring water all of Jamison's head, she's a great sport.
Conley is such a sweetie, he is a good baby!
You just can't help but smile with him around.
These two were glued to each other all weekend, a match made in heaven as long as they have a peecuter, ( computer,  thats how Tanner says it)
Some weren't as excited to see the Steelers win, Anthony the commercials are on....
Way to be a fan Tara
Then we had a daddy cooking lesson, the girls were making Guacamole and Anthony was the taster, what a team player....... Thanks to the Vidals for letting us join them for the superbowl!

Happy Valentine's Day Jack*

While we were in Vegas we stopped off to see Jack and wish him an early Happy Valentine's Day.
It was just a few short weeks ago that we said, "'til we meet again," to this sweet boy. The headstone is very fitting for the little spirit.

Tara wanted the flowers to be just so for her little cousin. It was a beautiful day in Vegas today, and we were very grateful to be able to include Jack in our travel plans. Everywhere that sweet boy travels he is surrounded by those who love him.

It's both our faults!!!!

We often hear parents say oh she got that from me, or she got that from you. Well, this one is a no brainer.... it's both our faults. Tad and I have very bad eyesight and we knew it was bound to rear its ugly head with one if not more of the three precious children we have. Here's tara with the new addition. She is so excited and when she put them on she said, " Wow I didn't know what I was missing!" We love her very much and think she is even more wonderful now. She sure thinks everything is more wonderful that's for sure........

First playoff game for the Underdogs

Tara's soccer team was undefeated during the season and placed first in the mmountain league. They won a spot in the playoffs last saturday. We have two more saturday games this weekend and next. Put your right foot in.......

                                                     dad was warming up the goalie
Go tara, she's on offense now
the game ended with a score of 2-3 we lost this one but it was a great game, good job Underdogs......

What Auntie Sarah Doesn't Know.........

While everyone was busy doing various things around the house......
Some not so busy, ( not you A-Train)
Uncle Sam decided to venture out into the house, and what do you suppose he stumbled upon?
Well Tanner and Noah decided to help out and measure how much cereal we had left for the morning meal.... good thing Auntie Sarah was in her room prepping for the upcoming week, when asked what happened Tanner said, yes mom i did it, Noah wanted cereal.
Thanks to Uncle Anthony for keeping Auntie Sarah busy . We couldn't stop laughing while we cleaned. You have to love the little guys and their ideas of fun. Thanks to the Vidals for letting us take over their house, Happy New Year!

Families Can Be Together Forever . . .

January 3, 2009 - A day that has changed our family forever. We all gathered in Las Vegas to say goodbye for now to our newest member, Jack Alexander Johanson. His funeral was very sweet and remind us that we can be together forever and this was just a moment on our paths back to our Heavenly Father.

We love this little boy and appreciate the 41 days he was able to spend with us. I never was able to meet him, but he has changed our lives forever.

A mother's love is so abundant and kind. Elizabeth is a mother in the truest sense. She is an example to me. She spoke during the service and reminded me that we should cherish every moment we have with our families here on earth. She listed all of the things that Jack has taught her and will continue teaching her. I love this woman with all my heart. She is quiet and reserved about her feelings, but mighty in her example. My heart aches for this sweet family right now with what they are going through. They are a living example that the Comforter is there for you in your time of need. They are not alone in this. Bishop Holland in his remarks said, " Heavenly Father will be there to help you, and let you know, he knows what you are going through." We love you Adam, Elizabeth, Megan and Jack.
