Conference Coma

As Johnsons, I think we can all appreciate a good Conference nap. In our defense, we at least napped at home or in a dark stake center.

April Fool's Day - I Wish This Had Been A Joke

We woke up to 3 inches of snow on April Fool's Day. It was a cruel, cruel joke - on us! The joke hasn't stopped either. Today it is in the low 30s and very windy and the forecast doesn't get much better for the next week. The girls did enjoy building a mutant snowman so not all was lost. In other news, we finally bought a new car (2005 Toyota Corolla). The Subaru has been great, but after the blown head gasket and spending the night at the Flying J, I knew it was time to start looking. We tried using Chazy, but ended up buying it from a family up here. Chazy said I was forgiven since I had bought from him before :)

Daphne's twin sister

Are there any plans to have the giant flower-like tumor removed from Daphne's head? It's no big deal, it is actually kind of cute, but people might think she's a twin. Give the tumor a name just in case.

Jazz game

Is it just me, or does this gentleman bear a striking resemblance to Jimmy dancing in the kitchen in Albuquerque. The tongue and dress shoes and socks are a dead giveaway. It's uncanny....and eerie.

There are just too many possibilities for tasteless jokes using basketball terminology involving this photo. I won't even touch them. Pun TOTALLY intended.

I can't resist: That's Golden State's primary ball handler. I'm 12.

For your viewing pleasure. Pictures from the JAZZ 30 point blowout of Golden State Wednesday night.

Blackmail

Dave Popp was kind enough to send this photo to me. This is just one reason I'd never seek public office.

FINALLY!!

Well, it seems that after years and years and years and years and years (you get the idea!) of meeting idiots and morons in the dating game, I have FINALLY kissed enough frogs to find a prince! Here is a picture of me with Matt and my friend Jori's baby, Olivia. I had a GREAT time with Matt, and I'm planning to go visit him in England in May. Too bad he lives SOOOOO far away, but he's worth the effort of spanning the divide...trust me! More pictures to come later....

4 freaks

Here's a look at a couple pix I shot the other day for Wendy to give to Joyce for her 60th.

Pinewood Derby Princess...Bedazzled!

The youth in our Ward hosted a fundraising dinner last night to help with Girls Camp and Scout Camp. Included in the festivities was a no-holds-barred Pinewood Derby Race. Our entry(nicknamed "Bedazzled") was a hit - thanks to the amazing decorating skills of Valerie, Riley and Macie; - and even managed to pull off a few wins!

"Bedazzled" in all her glory.

We won a ribbon for the "brightest" car. Macie and Charlotte were both very upset they weren't allowed to hold the car and ribbon for these pictures.

The Weasel goes to Washington

The Weasel will probably agree that the assignments we shot on Monday were better than the day she and Bubba came with me to shoot a dead man discovered on the highway shoulder or the pedestrian wrapped around the grille of a truck. Good times.

Here are a couple pix that the Weasel and I snapped while she rode shotgun with me to work on Monday. She was out of work and decided that riding along with her old man was better than sitting home on the couch. We met a woman with one leg that ski races, hikes, plays volleyball, jogs and generally kicks butt...with only her left foot of course. We also attended a rally to try and keep the Salt Lake redevelopment agency from evicting low-income residents of a downtown hotel so that the building can be turned into high-priced condos. We shot a protest by a group of very narrow-minded individuals who want to pass legislation that would fund a program that exported gay people from Utah. The gay individuals get to pick the state they're exported to. How kind. It turned out to be a sick joke. Not funny.

Hope everyone's healthy and happy. Todd, squeeze Feckles, Mouse and Chuck for my. Scott, squeeze the Duck, the Goose and Ms. Daphne for me.

Adios

Passed Down From One Generation to the Next...

Playing library with new books.

Macie is checking out "Chew-ee Woo-ee" while Riley carefully scans each book under the table.

Super Cute

I never took pics of the girls in their dresses when we had 9:00 church. It is my new goal to document them on Sundays...since it really is the only day all three of them end up dressed with their hair done :)

This is Charlotte's first 'do with straight hair. I can't get over how old she looks! Todd was being silly, trying to get them to laugh. It worked. These dresses were purchased on the cruise while we were in Haiti. I was not a good bargainer and we paid too much. I now feel good about it and consider it a donation to the earthquake victims.

Basketball

Here are some pictures from Riley's basketball season. We were a perfect 0-7, but as you can tell the girls always had smiles on their faces.

The starting 5 at our last game.

The team at our pizza party.

They were always very attentive when I was talking.

Riley got much better throughout the season.

Dad reading to Charlotte and Macie before church.

So cute.

New Arrival

Welcome Daphne Hope Johnson, born 9:32am 2/26/2010; 9lbs 6oz; 21-3/4" long.

Margie and Daphne are both doing well, or "great" as Felix and Rex would say.


Mom and baby in the delivery room. All went very smoothly.


An alternate guardian



Rex plugging his nose because he thought the hospital (not his sister) was "stinky."

Watching (and listening quietly, to allow mom to rest) to the BYU-UNM game in the recovery room...hoping Daphne would bring the Cougars good luck.
Daphne with her daddy back in the recovery room.

She was really checking me out Sunday morning.
