well the chives have left the state

Well my house is extremely quiet and empty. Too quiet!! When i get home i always have to turn on a movie or music just so i dont go crazy from the silence. Im used to a noisy house full of people, which is what i prefer.
I miss the kids so much, i dont know what to do with myself when i get home. I dont have chives bugging me to make them dinner and i have no one to yell at for the house being destroyed. Its just me and mel occasionally. I miss hannahs hugs and hearing Justin Bieber blasting from the moment i get out of my car.I miss Rance arguing with everyone(well kinda) and Cam spilling everything on my floor. I do have my closest back!!!(my closet is where my mom spent her evenings talking on the phone to lee)
Utah really is just too far away...

Recap of 2009

2009 was kinda a crazy one for us with lots of changes(kinda big ones). It was a very fun & exciting year on some occasions and others not so much. The good ones will be mentioned.
*It started off with Disneyland on my Birthday!! I had so much fun that day, usually Disneyland for me is a waste of money, but I guess i enjoyed it more because I got in FREE!















*In April I went to Hawaii for the first time! It was amazing!! I cant wait to go again. Me & Mel took my mom for a weeks worth of fun in the sun/clouds. We had such a fun time, it was nice to get away from all the boys! Snorkeling was me & berts favorite, my moms not so much but she sure tried her best!! Apparently some people(mom) didn't know they was supposed to breath through the mouth piece and actually put the goggles around their whole head!haha gotta love the lady, i wish i had a picture!

















*Zachs Graduation! It was a miserable night! Rained the whole time, we were cold, wet and couldn't hear a thing. Congratulations Zach!!

dont be fooled he didnt actually graduate with honors, but im sure he could have it he wanted.It was mels, but zach wanted to wear it to be funny or something i guess! But no one knew he didnt, but us!









*Cam boy graduated from 6th grade!He got some awards for being such an awesome dude! Cam was excited to go to Brimhall and move on with his life.He's the last kid to graduate from Johnson. We were sad but im sure Johnson was ready to get rid of us, we tortured those poor people long enough I guess!












*Knotts & the beach!!! I took some of the kids to Cali in August. We hit up Knotts as usual, it was summer so of course it was hot and crowded. The beach was perfect, a little windy in the afternoon but other then things blowing away it was splendid! And I think we only lost Hannah once, which is amazing!!! She tends to wander miles away from us , one time she was lost for an hour, maybe more by the time we realized she was gone it took about an hour to find her. We usually find her playing with strangers!




In December Zachy got his MISSION CALL to OAXACA MEXICO!!! After six weeks of waiting and checking the mall every Thursday it finally came, he was so anxious to open it. The poor boy had to wait until his mom got home from work, which was about 6:30.We are very excited for Zach to serve a mission! He doesn't report until the end of April so we have him for a few more months. Zach is super excited, he's been researching his area and studying his scriptures and church books.
We can't wait to finally have a missionary!!

Rance & Cam got blow guns for Christmas, they love em! They usually hunt birds with their
BB guns but here they are trying out their new toys!

Its about time!


I have a friend who kept bugging me to get one of these things, so I finally gave in and created one. Since I don't have a husband or any crumb crunchers, I decided to make one for my family. Besides my brothers & sisters are more entertaining then just me, right? So 2010 Blogging Begins!!(maybe, cant promise anything)
