Mom's 75th BIRTHDAY

I am so thankful for my Mom.  She has taught me by example and through her love.  I can say as did the sons of Helaman,"that my mother taught me…"  Happy birthday Mom!

Saying Good-bye at the MTC

      "Go forth with power to tell the world the gospel is restored.  That all may gain eternal life through                    
Jesus Christ, the Lord."
"Go forth with love to tell the world the joy of families - that we may be with those we love through all eternity."

"Go forth to serve and do your best with no thought of reward; then you shall know the boundless joy of serving Christ, the Lord"

"Go forth with hope and courage strong to spread the word abroad, that people of all nations are children of our God"

"God be with you till we meet again;  Keep loves's banner floating over you,
Put God's arms unfailing round you…God be with you till we meet again."



WE LOVE YOU SISTER JOHNSON!!!

Spontaneous Trip to Hawaii!

One week before Sydnee left for her mission we took a unplanned trip to Hawaii.  It was so much fun!

This was a beautiful day. Syd gave a great talk in church on the first two commandments. Family and friends gathered at our house after church for some brunch.  Only 9 days until Syd enters the MTC.  We sure love her and are very grateful for her desire to serve.
