Christmas letter 2013

Johnson Family 2013

What a fun busy year we had at our house. 2013 flew by I can’t believe it’s already over and we’re getting ready to welcome 2014. We started off the year with a new born baby boy, went to Disneyland with my side of the family, sold our condo and moved to Provo, and Clayton started a new job, went to Lagoon and had a mini family trip with the Johnsons.. We haven’t bought a house yet, Clayton’s sister was kind enough to let us live in their house in Provo since nobody lived there. We have been house hunting for the last 6 months and no luck.

Clayton- After 6 years with Hadco Construction Clayton finally got offered a better job and decided to quit. We went to Denver in October of 2012 for some testing and job interviews. In December we finally got the email that he got the job but didn’t know when he would be starting. Finally in January he got his start date February 18 2013. He gave Hadco his 2 week notice we headed to Disneyland, we came back and he started his new job. He works for MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) being a mine inspector. His office is based out of SLC. So far he is loving it and so are we. Clayton also was able to go to Blanding for a few hunting trips this fall.  He’s loving having all the free time with his new job.

Kyndra- Kyndra has been busy staying  home with our boys. She is so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom to Ryder and Range. She has been able to watch a few kids through out the year and has enjoyed it. Kyndra spent a lot of time this summer in Blanding and visiting friends while Clayton would leave to West Virginia for training.

Ryder- Ryder celebrated his 4th birthday this year and is getting so big. Ryder loves his baby brother Range and is always wanting to wrestle him down. He loves Scooby Doo, garbage trucks, playing outside and playing with his dad or brother. He’s a busy boy and plays hard all day.

Range- Range celebrated his 1st birthday December 18th. Can’t believe he’s one. Range loves his big brother and his such a good sport when he wants to tackle him and play hard. Range loves trucks and anything he can get his hands on. Range started walking at 11 months and is EVERYWHERE. He’s a busy boy and into everything.

We are so blessed to have the things we have and the great year that we have had. We are so thankful for our savior Jesus Christ and the atonement. We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.

Love, Clayton, Kyndra, Ryder and Range Johnson

Sledding

One of our last snow storms we had Clayt took the day off so we decided to take the boys sledding. There is a fun big hill not too far from our house. Since we went during school hours we were the only ones there so it was nice. Ryder loved it but Range hates being bundled up and pretty much cried the whole time.

 It was nothing but ice under all the fresh snow so we couldn't make it all the way we just kept falling. It was pretty funny watching Ryder and Clayt try to climb.

New Years

This year we celebrated New Years at our house. We had a lot of snacks and yummy food. We played games and rang the new year in by watching the ball drop and watching fireworks off of our balcony. Everyone slept over and my parents got up that morning and made us a yummy french toast breakfast.

Milan and I attempting the duck face ;)

These two made it past midnight

Watching fireworks from my balcony.

Happy New Year

Temple Lights

My parents came up the day after we got home and stayed with all of us girls for a few nights for the New Year. Monday we decided to venture out to see the lights at Temple Square. We rode the trax from Sandy and stopped at City Creek fro some dinner before seeing the lights.. Lets just say it was packed cold and miserable :)
