24 HOURS---- FAST AND FURIOUS


Johnny and Brittney flew in from Portland for a whirlwind visit with us.   Thursday morning, Johnny and I drove to Salt Lake for early morning business meetings he had arranged with customers of West Coast Container. Brittney went to Aunt Emily for a color and haircut at Nichols and Co.  We shopped at Costco for last minute party items---yes we had a PARTY while they were here.  We picked up Cafe Rio takeout and went home.  We all bustled and worked together to prepare the rest of the food, set up tables and chairs, and VISIT!  Dear Emily drove from Idaho Falls (she wasn't here for even 24 hours) with Cannon and Crew (Crew is sick with a bad cough and cold)  to see Brittney.  (She just saw Johnny last week in San Diego......wonderful!

My two FAVORITE JOHNS!!!
Ashley, Grant (no matter what I did I couldn't get him to smile for me) and Nicole.
Laurel decided to put double bunny ears on Grandma Char and Gwen....
Johnny and Andrew have been joined at the hip since they were little boys....as close as cousins can be.
Jared and Ashley and their cute boys, Grant and Preston!  
Preston is personality plus and Grant is baby clone of Grandad Bart.

Lorin and Emily always make us smile.

Emily, Crew and Nicole had a chance to catch up!  Barty B. couldn't come because he had to be at his ward's scouts.  Missed you Bart



Johnny LOVES his uncle Bart, aka FROSTY!






Johnny and Brittney enjoyed being with Cannon and Crew.  






Johnny and Brittney left early Friday morning to drive back to Salt Lake and attend Brittney's family reunion!  They will also be here for Brittney's brother's baby's blessing on Sunday.  Emily rushed back to Idaho Falls early this morning to get Cannon home so he could go with Greg and Colton to Father's and Sons outing.  

It was a fast, furious and FUN 24 hours with our visit and party.

I'm so glad you were able to have a visit with Jon and Brit and the family could have such a fun party while they were here. Let me know when Em is coming back down. I'd love to see her.

Veronica, thanks for all the memories you share. It is wonderful to keep up with such a wonderful family. Dummy me commented on my own blog back to you as if it were email or something. I will try to become more technically savvy this summer.
Oops. I could not believe I even did that. So go to my blog and see what I wrote to you. Ha!
Love, T
