We should be better than dinosaurs.

I just told the kids, “Sorry for loosing my temper. I shouldn’t have yelled.” Clara then said, “Ya, cause you should be better than dinosaurs – hehe!” Too true.

You’re Short Pudding!

Nic told Talmage that we were eating Yorkshire pudding. “You’re Short Pudding?!” he exlaimed.

Chapter Scrolls

In church today, Brooklyn learned that the ‘books’ when Jesus was alive were called scrolls and looked like rolled up pieces of paper. Brooklyn raised her hand and asked, “Did they have chapter scrolls?” (Like the chapter books she is reading in school – hehe)

Our poor van…Munched!

Heather — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:51:17 +0000

I slammed on my breaks, but it was too late and we hit the big yellow Ford 350 truck in front of us. Scary! (Nic was at home with the three bigger kids.) Holly was in the passenger seat – she said she is fine. Aubrey and Molly were in the back. They started crying right away, but were not hurt other than small abrassions on their necks from their carseat seat belts. (When I first looked back at Aubrey, I thought her mouth was bleeding. It turns out, it was just red licorice that I saw in her teeth!) A paramedic checked them both out – said they looked fine, but to watch for anything unusual in the next 24 hours. My neck now hurts quite a bit (more so now than when we initially hit). This just compounded the troubles I already have in my neck I think. I called my chiropractor at home and he was kind enough to adjust me, even though it was a Saturday.
The driver of the yellow truck and his wife were very kind. (I think the collision may have bent their back bumber.) They had Irish accents, and were very good to work with He told me and the officer that a line of cars in front of them had all stopped short. No one was issued a ticket.
The whole front of the van is munched. Undrivable. We will know more about what will be happening in regards to getting it fixed after the adjustor has a look at it on Tuesday.

Summer-tary

Talmage: Good thing it’s almost summer so we can go to the summer-tary.

The Johnsons on Valentine’s Day

Talmage’s 5th Birthday

Heather — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:50:59 +0000

We celebrated Talmage’s birthday for several days in a row! Grandma Nomino and Aunt Anna came to visit the weekend before his real birthday. We went to Ecles Dinosaur Park in Ogden on Saturday. We had heart-shaped pizza and peas for dinner. He opened presents and we ate his dinosaur cake. On Sunday (Valentine’s Day) we sang to him in primary. At home, we decorated heart-shaped sugar cookies and delivered them to some of our neighbors. On Monday, we went to Ikea where we all ate meatballs for lunch. The kids then got to play in the play place while Molly and the adults shopped. On Tuesday (his real birthday), he had a special day at his pre-school where he got to wear a birthday crown and choose the snack. We went to the dollar theater that night. Whew! What a party

Brooklyn’s Invention…the Shoe-inator!

Heather — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:09:06 +0000

Brooklyn had an invention fair at her school. Since she doesn’t like putting her shoes away when she takes them off, she decided to invent a robot to put them away for her.

Valentine’s Day – The only thing cuter…

The only thing cuter than Nic helping the kids make valentines for their friends…
