Brandon and Boo Boo


This is my daughter Kara (Boo Boo) and her husband Brandon. Kara says that she "changes lives" because she is a hair stylist and after she works her magic people walk out with new and better hair. Kara is deathly afraid of spiders (so is her sister Jenny) and I have taken advantage of this fear several times. Brandon is a police officer and does a very good job. I work with Brandon and hands down he writes the best reports in the whole department. He has a way with people and knows when to "be nice" and "when not to be nice" I am proud of both of them.

The Housley's


This is my daughter Jenny, her baby girl Maddi and her husband Eric. I really like this picture because Jenny has "rock star" hair and Maddi's aunt Kara did her hair on this day and Eric, well, he just showed up. He is a good sport with all that we put him through. They are a cute family if I say so myself and I am very proud of all of them.

Princess Christal


This is my granddaughter Christal, she is a firecracker! She can run, jump and wrestle with the best of the boys. Christal likes animals and other kids. She loves to craft too, she is a budding scrapbooker and shows interest in photography (finally!!!)

Cache


We weren't looking for another dog, I swear we weren't. I was looking on KSL in the dog section and I came across an ad for a German Shepherd, there wasn't even a photo attached to the ad. Well I read the ad and I just felt like we should go check him out so we drove to freaking Sandy, Utah to look at the dog. We got there and the lady opened the door and this huge, ginormous dog ran down the stairs and immediately bonded with D.T. , long story short, we paid our 50 bucks and took him home. I have never seen such a dog bond as Cache and D.T., if he even crosses his legs Cache is up and in his lap. Like I said, we weren't looking for another dog.

Luke


This is my nephew Lucas, he loves air soft guns and air soft wars. Luke is very talented, he plays the guitar (electric) he kicks butt in guitar hero too. Luke is a very gentle and kind sort of guy and he is tormented daily by his little sister Elli. Luke sleeps in what I call "the dog bed" it is in Elli's room. It is actually a nice cozy little bed of blankets on the floor by Elli's bed. He has a really cool room of his own in the basement but I think he is scared to sleep in his own room.....sshhh don't tell anyone! (sorry bubba) xoxox

Miss Elli Rose


This is my niece Elli Rose, she LOVES horses and cats (note: I hate cats!!) actually she likes all animals. She is so cute and quite witty for a little person! One of my favorite "elli-ism's" is; one day we were driving down the street and we drove past a bright green school crossing sign with the little stick kids on it and she said, "hey millie how come only black kids can walk here?" it was the innocent way that she said it that was so stinking cute.

Sweet Daisy


This is my dog Daisy and she is the best dog. We rescued her from the pound on her very last day. We adopted her sight unseen and they told us that she was a small cattle dog with pointy ears. Dave was looking for a good cattle dog that would help him with the horses so it seemed like a perfect match......except she wasn't a small cattle dog with pointy ears, she was a big round fluffy dog with flat ears! We stood at the shelter and just looked at her and then we looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders and said......what the hell, we'll take her. So we did and we fell in love with her. She is pretty. She is kind. She is soft. She has the warmest eyes you have ever seen. I love my dog.

Justin and Allie


This is my son Justin and his wife Allie. They are both soldiers and have served with the National guard in Kuwait and Afghanistan. Justin was a crew chief for the Apache helicopter. They are building a new house and it is almost done. They also just got a new puppy and I really hope that it doesn't work out so that I can have her!!!!

I love my Mom and my Dad.....


This is my mom (Ellin) and my dad (Jay) they have been my parents for my whole life....(that was a joke!!!) get it, my whole life....never mind. My parents are awesome and they have done a lot for my family. They are supportive (mostly) and I consider myself very lucky to have them in my life.

Kevin and Jane


This is my brother Kevin and his wife Jane. They have 4 children: Charlie, Zach (Shawnie), Parker and Kali. They also have one grandson (Cash) that brings them great joy. We like to go to their house for holidays because they throw out the eats like nobody's business! Plus they are cool peeps.

Meet the Johnson's


This is my sister Coco (Colette) and her husband Darin. They were recently married at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco California. They have 2 children, Luke and Elli. They have a cabin in the mountains and they like to go there to relax (did I mention that I hate camping?)

Doug and Wendie's Klan


This is Doug and Wendie and their family. The photos were taken in Riverdale by my work. We have Cody, Taylor and Ty. They are a good family and do a lot together. Doug and Wendie are very supportive of the kids and always encourage them in sports, dance and anything that they are involved in. I am proud of their parenting skills and look forward to watching them grow.
