Whats up?

Ok, I know I have been a huge slacker when it comes to keeping our blog up to date but to be honest, we haven't had a ton of interesting stuff going on.
So one of the most exciting things we have had happen to us is basketball at BYU-I and not just basketball.....basketball that our cousin McKay Pearson plays. Our kids and our dad (Grandpa Pearson) is a huge fan! McKay is quite the ball dunking, 3 point maker, purple #3, hot shot. These games are really fun to watch and when you get to go to the vending machine and eat skittles while watching the game, well... that is just icing!!! So until McKay is done playing for the season , you can find us standing in front of the vending machines in the Hart building getting our snacks just in time to watch the big game!

Fa La La La La La La La Laaaaaa

For years and years and years (even before I came into the Johnston family) it has been a tradition to go Christmas Carolling. It is looked forward to with excitement and dread, depending on the weather and if anyone is bringing treats! Thanks to Heather we got some photos of the carolling for the first time in my Johnston life. We are as good as any church choir with just a tad more excitement. Anna even had a smallish reunion with one of her past 1st graders, Madsen Rinehart. It is really great family time and the kids love it. Hopefully those that have the honor of hearing us sing, enjoy it too. It really is a lost art. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. We love you!

Who needs cable TV?

Ya know how there is never a convenient time to have a major medical, financial, emotional thing happen in your life? Well we discovered that right before Christmas isn't a great time for your washer to die. However there is a bright side to it all. Jon, Spencer, and I went shopping for a new washer the other night and we had intended on purchasing el-cheapo top loader. Unlucky or lucky depending on how you look at it, the sales guy at Home Depot knew a lot about front loading washers and basically we were talked into getting el-cheapo front loader. You know it will "pay" for itself in energy savings over it's life. Personally I would prefer it just right me check right now, but what can you do. Little did we know how much entertainment value a front load washer has. I think now we will just get rid of the TV and watch the clothes wash from now on. The savings are just racking themselves up!!!! The kids got a kick out of it while eating breakfast today. To bad they had to go to school and like learn or something and not stay home to watch the clothes wash. Hmmmm, life is full of tough choices :)

Santa Claus is coming to town

Look at that, they didn't even cry. Now, I wonder what they asked for???

Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is pretty great huh? I have so much to be thankful for. Back in the old days when we were kids, all of the Pearsons would gather at Greenfield Grade School for Thanksgiving. It was great having a whole day with the cousins and free reign over the school. Lots of great memories. We had a great Thanksgiving with the Johnstons this year. We were at the church. It was great having a whole day with the cousins and free reign over the church. Thank YOU, my dear friends for reading our blog and posting comments. We like to have people watching us! I'm so thankful for my God, my family, my friends, and my freedom. I am really blessed. Enjoy the holidays!

Fishing in Salmon

Big Horned Sheep right along the side of the road.
The might fisher men and women!

We had a fabulous weekend in Salmon. The weather was great, cold in the morning but warmed up nicely during the day. Unfortunately we didn't catch any steelhead although we did see someone land one in a boat. Jon did catch some "junk" fish. We made a fire and roasted hot dogs and just spent both days on the river. We really enjoyed being outside and being together.
