New Kitchen

My in-laws have entered a contest for the worst kitchen. . .
As you can see it's not the "worst kitchen" but it does need to be updated. They didn't STAGE it like a lot of others on the site did, even though she could have. Instead she takes care of and makes the best of what she has. So although it's cute and homey it does need to be updated. (I mean did you see the pink countertop!!) SOOO that's where I need your help. If you go on to portraitkitchens. com you can vote for their kitchen. The link is under worst kitchen contest. Then go to VOTE HERE! Then it will give you all the instructions on how to vote. The kitchen to vote on is on page 2, the Ibach Kitchen. Help me get them a new kitchen! Then I could be the favorite instead of these two!! Thanks for all your help guys, I have faith in us!

My baby brother flew to Long Beach on Tuesday. He is officially on his mission. I haven't even posted his farewell MTC pics yet so i decided i better start with those!! He looks so great in his suit and I am so excited for him but that doesn't mean I won't miss him. The day he went to the MTC Mike had to work so I decided to drive up and back in one day. . . I think I am getting to old for that! It was fun to see a lot of family and friends there it's always so much fun to get together and catch up. I love this blog thing because it makes me feel like I can actually keep in touch with everyone! Even if I am not the best at posting it's always fun to see everyone else's. Maybe when I have kids it will be better. . .


Ben with his girlfriend Lanie. I don't think she is "waiting" for him but it sure would be fun if she was available when he got home. She is a lot of fun.


The family before our final MTC goodbyes. I know it's only 2 years but man it is hard to see them walk through that door. Kassi was taking the picture. I think we got there to late to find anyone to get a whole group shot. At least I couldn't find one on my camera.


We were lucky enough to have my grandma and grandpa Johnson there. I know that meant a lot to Ben.


Ben with Grandma Lovell and Uncle Richard. We had so much family show up it was really fun to get to visit with everyone.


Tim • Grandpa • Dell - My Johnson Guys • They definitely remind me of my dad.



We tried to get a family shot that wasn't in front of my mom's fireplace but the sun was so bright i don't know if it had the effect we were going for.


Eric and Kassi - What a Cute Couple


My aunt Lois makes such a cute grandma!


Kory • Brooke • Braydee


You can see where I get my GREAT sense of style!!

What a fun week this was. I can't wait for the HOMECOMING pictures!!

Bad Posting

Bad posting on my part. I have been informed by way to many people that this was only an April Fool's Joke. Although this may be an April Fool's Joke it is still funny and I have all faith in you Ben!

SNOOP DOGG

I found this story on someone else's blog but thought it totally applied to our Ben about to leave on his mission.

So for Ben who is going to Long Beach where there are a lot of rappers/movie stars. Think of the endless possibilities you could convert a big star and they might give you millions:) or they will be eternally grateful and you will always have the awesome story of baptising someone famous.

If My Life Had a Sountrack

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?



So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)

2. Put it on shuffle

3. Press play

4. For every question, type the song that's playing

5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

6. Don't lie and try to pretend your cool...

Brett Michael's Rock of Love

BRETT MICHAELS - NOTHING BUT A GOOD TIME!!

Here's a little history. For the last 2 seasons of VH1's Rock of Love (a show where a hot musician - BRETT MICHAELS lead singer of Poison - tries to find someone to love him for him and not for his money!!) we (mike, lyndsie, cam and i among others) have been an avid watchers. We even had a season finale party last year when he chose Jess - who was a liar and already had a boyfriend - devastating i know. So this season he had to start over and try again. I didn't even know who Brett was until i became addicted to this trashy show. Yes it is worse than a soap opera but for some reason i just really can't stop watching it! It has been hard this last month while we had no tv to keep up on the season but because of my best friend Lyndsie i have kept up to date! ANYWAY Brett came to vegas last weekend and since i am now totally obsessed with him i had to go. Do i even need to say that Mike had no desire to go!! So lyndsie, meggan and i took off to see Brett live in concert!

Not the best pictures i know but still can you see how close we were!!

It was so much fun if only for the fact that the three of us got to do something we probably wouldn't of normally done. I mean how often do you see Brett Michaels in person and then watch him choose his true love the next day on tv??
Crazy girls but tons of fun. Thanks for letting me drag you down there girls!!

Fun Photos

I was just going through a disc of pictures to see what was on it and thought you guys might want some of these. I know ERIC especially wanted a copy of the easter bunny!!
