ONE LOOK BACK AT WINTER FUN!


Family dinners---eat your heart out Carly and Oliver!








Having fun in Los Vegas with our kids, running into my long time best friend, Kittie Tenney, just rows away at the Vegas Bowl!






Los Vegas was unseasonably cold in the evening, but it was such a fun experience.






Out on the town in Vegas!







While the guys golfed, we shopped and ran into Pete Rose! It was a sad sight, actually. I loved being with my girls at the Forum.






Fun family shower for Maeve and Miles at Julie's beautiful
home. Thank you Pew Girls!















Anxiously awaiting a new grandson! Shirley is as excited for her first as I am for my 7th! (After all, I know this guy.)







Racing to the SLC airport with Brea to spend a few minutes with Mia's family on their layovers as they were coming and going to Hawaii! Brooklyn is running to her adoring grandpa.





Delicious dinner at Shelly's incredible home to celebrate Grandpa J's Birthday with my brothers and sisters.





Watching my school ballroom dance team take first place AGAIN with Brea , Halle, and director Gina Butler Wescott.
"Night Light" at school, we all wore PJ's and the Superintendent came!


Raising money for families in Ecuador. My school raised over $1,400 in just a week with children bringing in their pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters: "Change for Children." This will go directly to Carly's effort.





WHEW! Now I am so excited to see what SPRING will bring. COMING SOON: BUNNY DAY!

DARLING DOUBLE DELIGHT!


Who could wish for more on one day? Happy Birthday Brighton and Presley Beth. I couldn't be more in love with these two girls. They are both so precious and dear to me.

BRIGHTON is special to me because I was there for her birth and was breathless as she effortlessly entered the world! She has always given me so much love--so freely. I will never forget her running down the long ramp at the airport as a toddler to meet the grandma she only sees a few times a year. It didn't matter to her. She ran so fast it was unbelieveable and then threw her arms around me and wouldn't let go. I was in heaven! Grumpy Bear and I love her so much. She has so much personality, beauty, and strength that it is startling. I can't wait to be with her in a couple of weeks. Happy 6th Birthday, Brighty!

PRESLEY BETH is special because she carries my name forever and I love it! She is the sweetest, most cuddly baby girl. I love to tend her because as soon as I have her all to myself, she laughs, gives me kisses, and lets me kiss and nuzzle her. Papa and I love to bathe and give her a rubdown--a Johnston tradition. She gets so excited for "bombs away!" Presley loves to run around our house, dance, read books, and eat! She lights up the room wherever she goes and has the cutest smile when she says, "MOMO!" She loved being the center of our world on Sunday during her party....Happy 2nd Birthday, Pressy!
