2008 Taylor Family Reunion!

The beginning of September my family had our annual reunion. It was at Flaming Gorge and it was so beautiful. It was too short but It was great to see everyone. I just wish more of the family could have made it. Here are just a few pics. Taylor caught his very first fish. We got some fishing in but that was about it because of course the weather was a little bit colder than we wanted so no one got into the water. I'm making this short because there are a ton of pictures and blogging that I need to get on top of. So stay tuned for more blog posts to come.

Grandpa's Huntin Buddies!

Taylor went hunting this last weekend with Grandpa Johnson. He had so much fun. Grandpa even bought all of his camo so he would be ready to hunt with the big boys! What a great Grandpa! Breanna insisted on telling us that Taylor and Grandpa went elfing. When we would correct her and say they went Elk Hunting she would just say "I want to say elfing". So funny!

Just hangin out with Grandpa waiting to go hunting!


The mighty little hunters!

Taylor and Colby hunting buddies!

My Father-in-Law!

My Father-in-Law Curtis Johnson was diagnosed with a rare liver disease, Primary Sclerosing cholangitis in March of 2008. He is now in end stage liver failure and his only hope of living a normal life is to have a liver transplant.


Although he has medical insurance there are many expenses not covered as in travel expenses, medicines, the huge co-pays and temporary relocation. To help with these medical expenses a fundraising campaign has been set up through National Transplant Assistants Fund (NTAF). NTAF is a non-profit organization that has been helping people for over 25 years. Donations can be made at your nearest Wells Fargo or Zions Banks in the name of Curtis J. Johnson. Also I am taking donation's through my PayPal account to help. All the money that is donated to my PayPal account I will be giving to Curtis and Lee Ann. I have placed a donation link at the right hand corner of my blog. If you just click on that link you can make a donation through PayPal. Any dollar amount is excepted so please donate. Curtis is constantly in my prayers and I hope that you could find it in your busy day to add an extra prayer for him also. He is a wonderful father-in-law and I love him very much.




We are appealing to our community, family and friends for help. We have faith the funds can be raised. Your support is critical to the success of my Father-in-law's struggle. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please know your contributions count! Here is a link to Curtis's Blog for updates you might have to copy and paste the url because for some reason I can't get the link to work.

We've Got a New Puppy!

Well I never thought I would want an indoor dog. I just didn't want it to ruin my house and poop and pee on everything. Never say never! This last Weekend we all went to Justin's parents house to visit and they had Shitzu puppies and I have to say they were the cutest puppies that I have ever seen. Breanna just wouldn't leave them alone she was so cute with them, a little rough at times:). Breanna kept asking if she could take one home she wanted one soooo bad! Grandma and Grandpa were thinking about it because they have been wanting to give Breanna a puppy for awhile now. Before they had even decided Breanna was heading to the truck with a little puppy under her arm ready to go home it was the cutest thing ever so Grandma and Grandpa couldn't deny her a puppy so we brought him home. I think I wanted him just about as much as Breanna did:). So we have a new addition to our family. His name is Joey and so far we have just loved him. THANK YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA!!!!!!

4TH of JULY

We had a great 4th of July. In the morning we went to the parade. Taylor got so excited when a Dodge Viper came down the road and revved up it's engine. He said that was a really cool race car. There was an army tank too. I didn't get pictures of the parade because I forgot my camera.

After that Grandma and Grandpa Taylor came with us on the waterfall hike in Kanarraville. It was so beautiful. In the pics my hair is a little scary but what am I suppose to do when NO ONE TELLS ME! The water was really refreshing because it was really hot! The kids did really good. They loved splashing around in the water. Max our dog came along too. Justin threw him in the water a few times and I don't think Max appreciated that, some parts were pretty deep. I'm sure it felt good to him though. He is a black dog so he had to be really hot.

That night we drove out to the the airport and brought blankets and pillows and layed in the bed of the truck. The airport is where they do the fire works here in Cedar City. The kids where so excited to see them. I'll just say we heard about a hundred Wows and whoes out there! Here are a few pics of our day! Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend

Hiking!

I have got to get back into the blogging world. I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have a lot of catching up to do. Me and Justin lately have had the urge to go hiking. Probably because it doesn't cost any money to do it! So we went to a neighboring town called Kaneraville just outside of Cedar City and found the most beautiful hike involving a waterfall. The kids thought it was quite the adventure. On this hike we had to cross the stream over a hundred times. The stream felt so refreshing with the weather being so warm. I also had my birthday last weekend! It was a great birthday too. Justin spoiled me with a fillet mignon steak dinner and a homemade birthday cake all made by him. It was really hard not to jump right up and help him with it but I resisted. I'm so proud of myself.
