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.

The Johnson family
