Nothin' better...

So, so, so great to have them home.

HALLELUJAH!!!!

President and Sister Johnson have returned! And its about time!

After serving as mission president in Brazil for the past three years they have finally come home and we couldn't be happier.

We're waiting....

Reunion....

trying to help Abbi recognize who they are. Its hard for a two year old to connect real people with voices on a telephone.

Lots and lots of hugs...

Welcome home Mom and Dad, Booboo and Grampa. Oh how we missed you!

Stung...

Abbi tried to make friends with a bee.

Poor little fat thumb. 

Uninvited guest...

This scaley creature found its way into our garage. 

Our big protector took care of it.

Using a pool-noodle he tried to get him to go back into the bushes.

It made this alligator lizard a little angry.

For now he is back in the bushes.

Hope he stays there.

Best buddies....

early morning cartoons....

(abbi will sit for about five minutes)

Sunday afternoon snack

Abbi and Kelli the dog are pretty good buddies too.  Mostly because Abbi is usually carrying around snacks and she is very good at sharing. Abbi had gone into the pantry, taken out a bag of pretzels and dumped them in our beach pail. Here she is sharing her stash with Kelli.

Ugly bug....

Olivia and Abigail found this lovely creature in the yard and it kept them busy for hours. When it appeared to be on death's door step I made Olivia let it go. Who would have thought one could be so attached to such an ugly bug?

Where would we be without you...?

Happy Father's Day to some truly heroic men. We love you more than words can say!
