Annual Turkey Bowl

~I HATE BLOGGING~

Every time I want to post a picture, it wont' let me. The cutest picture of my Mom's birthday won't let me....Turkey Bowl....won't let me. What's the point of this again Justin?????? UGH.
The Robertson's came, Alyssa and Rhi even came to play, The missionaries came, Of course Jeff Jordan and Dad were there.....and Derreck came with his three kids too. They guys had a good time, me not so much. I missed Jamie and Sister Merrill. NO one in the kitchen to keep me company. Have I mentioned I HATE BLOGGING.

A Thanksgiving SURPRISE

The only picture of this is on Jeff and Jordan's facebook video's. OH MY GOSH. They surprised Bill and I SO GOOD. I was, I can admit it now, down right depressed no kids were going to be home for Christmas. But with everyone living so far from home. We can only send them home for Christmas. So Bill and I were going to take Grandma Johnson out to eat for Thanksgivng.....That is until Saturday night November 22nd Jeff and Jordan showed up on our door step. They drove 27 hours straight and surprised us. I got on the phone that night called Grandma, the Webb's, and the Frank's... And on Sunday I found out the Darlene and Alyssa didn't have anywhere to go, so we invited them too!! We had a house full and a lot of yummy food too. THANKS JEFF AND JORDAN It so great having you home.

A very Special Birthday "75"

Well once again my blogspot is not working and I can't post the best picture taken over the weekend. The one where we surprised my Mom in Applebees for her birthday. Let me set this up. Diane flew in Thursday night and spent the day with Lacey. I flew in Friday afternoon and spend a few hours with my Aunt Gay and Uncle Ronnie. Julie found out were Grandma and Grandpa were going to be eating that night (Friday) we all arranged to meet at Applebees. Julie walked in first because it was planned she would meet them their for dinner. Soon after Steven and Jamie walked in. First Dad thought what is Jamie doing here. Her and Nate must be eating here! Then Mom saw Steven and thought why is he all the way down here, as they live in Layton. Then alll the rest of us walked in Diane Me Jeff Jordan and Whitney!!! We all say surprise and Diane had bought this but hat that says :Birthday Princess on it and a whole bunch of balloons. Mom was SO SHOCKED and SURPRISED!!! Way fun

Julie, Sheri Akin, Diane, Me and Carole Akin

We had a "surprise" party for Mom on Saturday. We sort of had to tell her that people might be coming and that she might want to dress up a little and that she might want to clean up the mess her and Dad had on the kitchen table. It was just family party but it sure was nice. AND it was so great that Jeremy and Morgan and the girls could all come down. It really meant a lot to Grandma, because she knows how busy you are.

Jodi Stevens and his partner MaryAnn. Jodi is my Dad's brothers son. His 1/2 sister is the one who came to take care of Grandma after her back surgery after I left. I haven't seen him in about 44 years or so. It was so nice to see everyone. AND once again my blog spot is deciding which pictures I can post or not...........UGH
