Dougs Visit/New Years

My cousin Doug and his wife Camilla and little boy Dennis came to visit us for New Years. They got here Tues. night and left Sunday. We hadn't seen Doug for 6 years and this was our first time meeting his wife and little boy. We are so glad they came to Utah to see all of us. My parents and Misty came up to celebrate with us too. It was a fun 5 days wished they could of stayed longer. I was pretty sure after Wed night they wouldn't want to come back lol we went to Cabelas that evening and by the time we left it was a white out blizzard Doug slid into Crystal when we we going down a hill and damaged her bumper lol not fun we couldn't see anything in front of us not even the traffic lights witch you usually can at least see those SR/73 was a nightmare going out to my house. So it took us an hour and a half to get to Eagle Mountain from Cabelas when it normally take 15 minutes maybe. It was a fun night let me tell ya lol.. Thursday we went to Kara's and went sledding in the freezing cold and went to dinner at Golden Corral (sp) Friday was New Years Eve and I had reserved the Clubhouse at my complex for us. We ate turkey dinner played Just Dance, Minute to Win it, Danish present game (Camilla is from Denmark :), and a few select people played Fear Factor that Misty and Clayt put together really fast. After the New Year everyone but us went to Crystals and did fire works. We had a fun New YEars Eve night. Saturday Clayt, Doug, Tad Ryder and I went rabbit hunting but didn't see any rabbits so just ended up shooting it was fun but freezing. We had a little birthday party for Ethan, Brynna and Dennis since all their birthdays are next week and had dinner it was a lot of fun. Sunday we said our goodbyes and were so sad to see them leave. Thanks for coming out and seeing us guys and it was so good to finally meet you Camilla and Dennis. Hope you guys enjoyed your trip to Utah!

Christmas 2010

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. We decided we would have Christmas at our house and not go to Blanding this year! It was both of ours first time not being home for Christmas but it was nice to not travel down there. Plus it would of been a pain to pack all our gifts so we prob will just have it at our house all the time now :) Christmas Eve Cole and Jackie invited us over for dinner and games with all the Pilling family it was a ton of fun we had yummy food and fun games. Thanks guys we had a blast. Christmas morning didn't start very early at our house we got up at about 8:30 Ryder walked into the living room and was so excited he had the biggest smile on his face it was so cute. He loved his car "santa" got him more then anything so he didn't care to open any presents so I hid so he would open them :) lol he loved opening presents the night before at the Pillings so I for sure thought he would love it Christmas morning and he did a little bit he just wanted his car! After we opened presents we went to Crystals house and had french toast and bacon for breakfast it was yummy thank Crys. We came home and took a nap and then went to Kara's house fro dinner because my parents had just gotten up here we had ham, potatoes, crackers, cheese balls, fudge and pie. Thank you Kara and thanks for the pie you gave Clayt :) We hope everyone had a fun and Merry Christmas. We got well loved this year and Ryder loves everything. Thanks you friends and family for all our gifts!

Christmas Card and Letter 2010

Johnson Family 2010

What an exciting fun year it has been for us we have celebrated so many fun moments this year and are excited to share them with you. The best started out on March 19 we were able to be sealed as a family in the Salt Lake Temple. It was such an awesome day and we are so happy to finally be sealed to each other.

Clayton-
Clayton is still super busy as usual and still working for Hadco Construction. He was so busy with work this year that he never really got to go shed hunting he was pretty bummed. He played in fast pitch softball tournaments through out the summer with Northern Electrics team and that kept him busy too. He was able to go Muzzleloader hunting this year but he didn’t get anything, he also had the opportunity to take his niece Kortney and nephew Easton out hunting during rifle season. He did find Kort one not very big but I tease him at least she got one ;) He is an awesome hard working husband/father who loves and supports us so much.

Kyndra-
Kyndra started out the year finishing up watching the older kids she nanny a few years ago but quit once summer started. She sure does miss all the kids she used to nanny but really enjoys staying home with little Ryder. She played summer softball and fall ball this year and volleyball with the ward. She is the new sports director in our ward I think that will be fun :) Clayton got her a puppy for Mothers day and she sure has been a lot of fun but difficult at times too.

Ryder-
Ryder turned 1 this year and had a big party down in Blanding with lots of cousins, aunts, uncles and grandmas and grandpas. He sure did get spoiled :) thanks everyone. Ryder started walking this year too and it has been a lot of fun but he is a busy busy boy. He loves to play with his puppy he chases her everywhere and plays tug of war with her. He love his trucks especially the ones he can ride on. He only says mama and dada and is for sure a mamas boy!

We have been in our new condo for a little over a year now and like it a lot just wished we had a little more space J It’s been a fun eventful amazing year. We are so happy to be sealed to each other and to have the gospel in our lives. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love Clayton, Kyndra and Ryder Johnson

Santa Clause

Last Saturday my sister took her kids to Cabelas to see Santa so she called me up and asked if I wanted to go she was already there and had been waiting in line for almost an hour. I decided I would go because who knows when Clayt would be able to since he works every weekend lately. By the time we got there it was already almost our turn sweet no waiting for us lol Thanks for texting us Crys. Lets just say Ryder HATED it lol he was terrified he wouldn't breath his face was bright red it was so sad but funny at the same time. This little boy is scared of EVERYTHING lol he's so cute I love him.

Temple Square

Last Sunday we decided ok I decided lol that we were going to go to Temple Square and see the lights. I asked my sister Crystal and her family to go with us. So we headed to Salt Lake to go see the lights. When we got there it was crazy busy so we drove around for at least a half hour maybe longer looking for a place to park finally we found one. I for sure thought Clayt would just say we're going home but he drove around madly trying to find a place to park. If he would of just payed the 3 bucks for a place we wouldn't of driven around for so long lol but oh well. So we walked around and saw all the lights. It was really crowded so it was hard to walk anywhere we couldn't see the manger close up because there was soo many people gathered around it. It was a little chilly but not too bad at least I didn't think so. Ryder loved the big trees they have just full of lights he would point at them and go oh oh so cute. We I'm pretty sure we drove around longer then what we looked at the lights for lol but oh well. Thanks for taking us babe and thanks for going with us Crystal, Tad and girls.
