Big Winter Rain Storm

We had a huge winter rain storm. There was sooo much water - it just kept going and going and going. Good thing it was warm and not below freezing. I would hate to see that ice storm. The boys had fun in it as well. They had been in the house so much the last week that I encouraged them to go out in the rain and play. Hmmm. Maybe that was a mistake.

Christmas

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas.  Ours was nice and quiet.  The kids were nice to us and did not wake up too early.  Santa brought a Wii for all of the kids which they really have been enjoying.  Later that morning we drove down to North Little Rock to have a Christmas Lunch/Dinner at Martha and Jerry's with extended family.  I took my camera but did not take one photo.  I forgot all about it. Grrrrr!

Yes Creed's pajamas are his Halloween costume.  He loves that outfit!

  

The aftermath!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Were we really that young?

  It is hard to believe that we have been married for 18 years. Really has it been that long?

Who would have thought when my Grandparents dropped me off in Moran, WY at the Heart Six Guest Ranch that that tall dark handsome "cowboy" was to be my future husband.  

I look at where we are and am excited to see what is to come.  (Warning: this part is a little mushy).  I love Barry with every ounce of spirit and soul and can not imagine a day without him in my life.   

I love you Barry Keith Johnson and can't wait to see what the next 18+ years will bring!

It's almost Christmas?

This year it seems Christmas has come up on us much quicker than usual. Barry and I decided we better get a tree before the season was over. We decided to save money and harvest our own tree off the ranch.  Of course it is not the traditional pine tree that we normally we have, it is a cedar tree.   It looks pretty good.

The Jr. High and High School had a fundraiser during homecoming week to raise money for the Beta club.  Each class (7th - 12th grade) could enter a maximum of five contestants for $20 each.  What is the contest you ask?  Beta Beauties.  Look below and I think you will figure out what it was all about.  

I must say we are so proud! :)  Cameron came in second over all.  We missed the pageant due to being out of town - we have heard there is video around that is VERY worth while...we are trying to get a copy at this time.

Cameron the second place winner - people thought his junk in the trunk was fake (stuffed like some other students) his reply was - it's all real baby!  

This guy won first place...we think it was because of his abs.
