Pumpkin Carving 2009

When it comes to carving pumpkins, Ben has some skills. Last night we had our friends, Klay and Lindsey over for some first class pumpkin carving.
From left to right we have Mickey Mouse (it looks more like Mickey in real life), Jack, and Chip.


The Johnson's masterpieces... Lindsey's on the left. Klay's on the right.

Ben's precious Chip. He wanted me to post these right away because he was so proud of this pumpkin.

Ben has carved many a great pumpkins in his day, and even won some prizes. This creation, he feels, is his crowning achievement.

To be honest, mine was not very cool, but I'll put it in here to show that I did participate.
The End.

Happy Halloween

I can't sleep...

I have no idea what this post is going to be about yet... it'll probably be random.

I am sure everyone knows that I work at Best Buy. I am not really into electronics, so the great part about working there is not the discount, but watching the movie sales.

This week's big winners that I wish I could buy for $6.99:

Overboard

Pretty in Pink

Sixteen Candles

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

The Breakfast Club
Strange Brew (for all those high schoolers that think they are cool)

Some great classics. Overboard has to be my favorite by far. The thing that makes me mad about Disney is that they never go on sale below $14.99. I'll have to shop Disney elsewhere.

Here is a question for everyone... well, anyone who reads this at least...

For Christmas, the mister and I may just buy a tv series on dvd to watch. We have no idea what series to get. I think we will get Band of Brothers and another one. Any suggestions?

I love tootsie rolls.

I just started reading the book, When Crickets Cry, by Charles Martin. It seems to have grabbed my attention so I am pretty excited about that. I recently finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown... it was ok. It was certainly an adventure, but not my favorite. The first time I read a Dan Brown novel it was wonderful. After reading all his books I have realized that they are all the same. Pity.

ok. i'm out of words. what now? I don't know. I can't make a post without a picture...

Here is Devynn going and looking like Trevor again.

This is Ari practicing her dance moves for the Princess Ball

First Time I met Rach

We are doing a rap... you know with the up and down arm movement.

Sorry Rach, but this picture makes me laugh. It looks like our knees just stopped working and we are about to collapse.

The End.

I apologize for the randomness.

I'm back

I went down to Arizona the latter half of September to hang out with some nieces.
We played school,
sang songs,
swam,
they called me shamu the balooga whale,
we rode bikes,
played house,
watched Barbie movies,
watched more Barbie movies,
watched Barbie movies over and over and then acted them out,
we made messes,
cut paper,
played with beads,
drew pictures,
and got ready for baby Benson.
Here are a few pictures...

Riding Bikes

I got to go see Benson a few times whilst in Arizona. He is so tiny. Hopefully he will come home from the hospital soon so his sisters get to see him. He kind of said my name a few times. He is such a smart boy.

I flew into Montana because it was cheaper than flying to Salt Lake... odd. Ben drove up to pick me up and I got him this little gift. It is a lighter.

It was fun to spend a few days with my parents. Their house is looking good and it is almost done. I am sure they are happy about that. I wish we would have taken some pictures of our activities up there. Ben taught me how to ride a dirt bike. I basically rocked it. Well, there is an update for you all. I am sorry it wasn't really that great of one... just deal with it.

Some Funny Quotes from Ari:
We went to go visit my Grandma at work. Britt took Ari to the bathroom and when they walked into the restrooms Ari said, "I didn't know this building had indoor plumbing."

I asked Ari what love meant and she said, "It means you don't flick eachother" and later that day she got a flick for hitting Dev in the face. Ironic.

She says something funny everyday... Britt will have to keep everyone updated on that.

Farewell.
