The helicopter... he didn't ever think he'd get.


Kelton was awesome to watch this year.  His excitement and thoughts of others was contagious.  He bought Shad a ping pong paddle and then wood burned Shad into the handle, followed by a bit of varnish.  He made me a pen and sticky holder by heating and bending plastic, cutting wood, making holes, varnishing etc.  He bought Sam a skylander giant dude.  He is such a thoughtful kid... and good student. Shad had to buy him not just the Phoenix Flight Simulator, but the Blade 450. Much deserved. Well mostly.

I hope everyone had time to reflect the true meaning of Christmas this year, especially with all the horrible events that are unfolding around us.  Take a minute and thank Heavenly Father for your family, and each other.

first quarter of junior high! GOOD JOB KELTON!!



Sam requested this picture at the dentist.



That would be "hair gel to make my hair like Kelton's"

I love this picture Sam drew.  The circle behind the "witch" is the moon.  There is a witches hat, a cat on the shoulder, and she is riding a broom.

Guess who's 40!!!

This guy! So happy to have this guy.  With all the "Shad quirks and all" Love ya!

 

 

 

 

Halloween

Sam had his annual Halloweeen Program for preschool.  It is chaotic, but so fun to see all the different costumes.  Kelton was "too cool" to go trick or treating with us.  I don't blame him, since going around begging for candy is all our favorite thing.  Kelton opted to go with friends and scare little kids.  Sam went up and down our road (the first few houses with cousin Gabby), then the rest all by himself with Shell, Dave, Gr. and Gr Wall watching.  Good times.

Happy birthday Sammy!

Sam's birthday was fantastic.  We woke up early to open some gifts before school and work.  For preschool it was HeeHaws day, so we got to go see the animals and pick a pumpkin.  He chose to have breakfast sandwiches for breakfast and dinner, then a batman cake and ice cream with family that evening.

I love this kid! I don't know what we would do without him.  He makes me laugh all day long.  A couple weeks ago, we were talking about him decorating his room.  I asked what he wanted:

 "Superhero guys, mashed potatoes, breakfast burritos, and a jam sandwich"

me "mashed potatoes, breakfast burritos, and jam sandwhich?"

Sam " yeah, my favorite food" in massive sam tone.  He wants pictures "really really big" of his favorite food to hang on the walls, so "when I wake up, I can see them all the time"

We have picked out pictures of his favorite food to blow up and hang in his room. I will post the pics when done.  What a geek.

night before

In the truck on the way to get bday cake.  Those are batman arm things he wore all day

Mackinaw Johnson

Since Shad is the King of the Gorge aka "Mac Johnson"; He, Grandpa Johnson, and Kelton went for a long weekend at the end of August...

Wow Kelton!

Holy Hotness Shad!!

and here are a couple of Shad and his trip with the guys a couple weeks prior

This one was only short of the record by a couple pounds. This picture doesn't do it justice.... It was almost as tall as me from fin to mouth. Which isn't saying a lot i know...

Bike

Santa brought Sam a new bike for Christmas last year, but it was a little too tall.  We took off the pedals to have a balance bike, but he couldn't quite reach the ground.  Shad put the pedals back on and some training wheels, and he was flying down the street.  Soooo he made the training wheels uneven, then Sam would just fall to the side that was lower, fall off, get back on, fall to the other - repeat.  NO effort whatsoever to try and balance.  Grandpa Johnson had one of the girls old bikes to donate for a balance bike, but it was pink. The project for the week was painting and putting stickers on this baby.

Post note... Shad helped him to it. I just helped with pics and sticker placement
