Johanson's on the move...

We just wanted to update all of you on what is new with the Provo Johanson's. We are officially becoming Draper Johanson's next weekend!! It has been long awaited...but we have sold our home here is Provo, and are headed up to Camden Park Ct. I have been frantically trying to pack, sort, clean, and chase around my three kids!!! (so sorry we haven't come to visit lately Grandma and Grandpa)
We hope Grandpa had a wonderful 90th birthday! And we will visit soon. Love to all!!

Happy 90th Birthday Grandpa Johnson

Grandma Johnson had us over for a nice corned-beef and cabbage dinner, to celebrate Grandpa Johnson's 90th birthday. Grandma has worked very hard to keep the memories alive and to help us understand our ancestory. We sang through the songs Dad would sing to us as we grew up. We caught the vision of detailed record keeping. Entries from Dad's journals were shared, one from now Prophet Thomas S. Monson who set Dad apart as Stake President in Boise, Idaho.
When asked what advice Dad would give us as a faithful, enduring to the end father, he raised his arm pointing upward and said, "Stay on the road, Stay on the road, Stay on the road", (Which road), "The road to Right". What great advice from our 90 year old Father and grandfather, who has stayed on the road.

Tyler's Baptism March 1, 2008

Tyler was baptized on Saturday March 1, 2008. I am so grateful that Trudy, Grandma and Grandpa Johnson were able to come to Tyler's baptism. Thank you for making such a special day even more special!

I loved every moment on Saturday and made sure I didn't stress too much! Tyler was so excited to have all his friends and family around him. Thank you to Grandpa Greg for coming and being apart of our special weekend. Here are some pictures, How blessed I feel to have gotton a 4th generation picture! We enjoyed every bit of that day.

Love to all Kim

Happy Valentine's day

We took the kids to Build-a-Bear workshop this year for Valentine's day. Here is a group shot with their completed stuffed animals. Isaac chose a dinosaur and named him Spikey, and Annalyn chose a bunny and named her Seraphina. Max just hung out in the stroller the whole time!

We hope everyone had a great day!!

Family Gathering

We are grateful to our mother who has tirelessly and thoughtfully created moments for us to get together and enjoy each others company and good food. We are grateful that she is able and willing to host these special times. Yesterday was just another great experience for sharing feelings and good food. We missed those who were not able to come and appreciate the efforts made by Brian and Diana for the special treats and to all who brought such good food and treats. We wish the best for Renae and Aaron and their beautiful twin girls, so glad they were able to come and visit. The pictures are random and not all inclusive, but to just give you an idea. It was Erin and Joseph Johansens little boy Max's 1st birthday. Christian and Michael and Mikell came from BYU. We were visiting with Heidi and Justin, Christian and Michael and Greg came over to tell us he had recieved several texts telling him that President Hinckley had passed away. This was about 8:00, so of course we were all sadened but grateful for his wonderful life and his leadership in our behalf.

Sunday - Jan. 27th

We have been spoiled having Renae and Aaron and their beautiful family here from North Carolina for a week or so. We were able to participate last week in the twins' blessings. It was such a wonderful night.

Grandma wanted to invite everyone over to her house Sunday night to come and enjoy some food and visiting with Renae and her family before they are off again to NC.
