FRANKIE

The one on the right is Frankie.


Grandma: (in her oh-so-sweet voice) Chamberlain, come take a picture with Frankie.

Chamberlain: No, I dont wanna take picture with Frwankie. I wanna take a picture with the punkin.

Grandma: (laughing) Chamberlain, come take a picture with Grandma and Frankie. Please

Chamberlain: (shaking his head back and forth) NO!

Grandma reaches over and pulls Chamberlain close for the picture... I think his face says it all.

Chamberlain: I wanna take picture with punkin, Grrandma!


The End...until dad comes home.

Riding the Range.

Okay, so my mother and I spent most of the summer decorating/painting peoples homes. Well, this one family, the Robinson's, (we spent many an hour painting) raise horse's for a living. So one day for lunch my mom and i decided to visit Josh, at the Jerky Shack, up at the cave for a yummy hot dog, fortunately, we had chamberlain with us. And here comes the Robinson's down the canyon with their horse's in tow, fresh from Bryce Canyon Rodeos. They see us and pull over. Chamberlain has a huge thing for horses, so immediately, he runs over to the horse trailer, climbs up the sides and is sticking his hands through the slots trying to pet them. Lindsay, the youngest Robinson said she would get out a horse and let chamberlain ride one around in the parking lot. So we did and this is the video. FYI... I look horrible, I haven't showered nor gotten ready in like 2 or maybe even 3 days. Yikes! But it was the best to see Chamberlain on the horse he truly loved it. This video goes to show how nice and awesome people in Kanab really are, some will give you the shirt off their back. Thank's Robinsons.

where did the summer go...

Gosh, Summer has gone by so so so fast. We have done so many things and been so many places. hopefully some day soon I can update with pictures.

oops...

My last blog I forgot to post pictures of us and the ATV's, silly me. During our holiday we went out to the sands and had a ton of fun. I love living in K-town. It so rocks.

Mallows and ATV's

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday. It was so much fun this year, we had my mom's family come, and it was so awesome to see them all. It was some of her family members first time to Kanab, as well as, meeting some family members for the first time. It was a blast!
While everyone was here we wanted to keep it fun so we did something new everyday. Which was great because then everybody didn't get board and despise driving hours on end to come to Utah. In the end everyone had so much fun that initiated the first Kent and Deene Johnson family reunion. It will be held in Kanab every year around the 4th. I can't complain because the July 4th and family are my two favorite things in the whole world.

Roasting Marshmallows in the backyard fire pit.
Chamberlain absolutely loves his grandma. He constantly follows her around.

The 4th of July...

At the park
Watching the Parade with Huddy Buddy and Chamberlain in their matching outfits from Grandma Chamberlain.
Lunch time! Josh sold Hot Dawgs at the Park.
Way past nap time for Chamberlain.

On our way home from the park we decided to take the roller coaster.

What you can't see is Hudson in the car seat. He is screaming bloody murder, while everyone else is screaming for joy. needless to say once we got the little kids home, they were out!

Ode to our Home

So its official we are selling our house, any takers...
We will miss it. We have many memories of our first home. One that comes to mind is Chamberlain learning how to walk. I wouldn't even let him touch the ground in our previous rental in Provo (who knows what kind of germs were crawling around on the 30+ year old carpet). Gosh, all the hard work that went into painting!! I so, so, so, so am going to miss this house. But on to bigger and better things!
