Mom and Dad

My dad is a great man. He has always been my strength. I have always been able to call him when ever I needed him for anything. I like it now to be able to think that maybe we can all be a strength to him. I have always thought of him as dignified and handsome. My mom thinks he is cute. I will also agree with that.
Sorry it is such a dark picture. I am just beginning to realize how short I am. This is mom and I. My mom is an amazing woman. She does so much service for people. I need to look to her and be more like her. She carries herself with great dignity. I think she is beautiful.

Some early Birthday cake for my dad thanks to Lindsay. It was delicious. She had home made chocolate syrup to put on top. Always a winner.






My parents are on their way to visit my dad's mission. He served in the gulf states mission. He wants to head to Shreveport, Louisiana. He said he had some addresses he wanted to look up. I am excited for them. He has talked about doing this for so long. Hopefully they don't cook to death in the heat. It was so much fun to have them come and stay for a night. They look great, and I know they are going to have so much fun.



We had a late dinner with Lindsay, Jon and Calvin. We cooked Hamburger dinners and corn on the cob. It tasted so good.

My dad


Shane and I went to Idaho to pick up Makaila who had spent a week with my parents. I walked in my childhood home and was told my dad had prostate cancer. (My dad is the handsome devil sitting on the far right, next to my grandma Johnson) Our family is holding up pretty well. It was a shock, and not something you ever want to hear them say about your dad. My family is amazing. We are all strong. We will make it though this. My dad is amazing he is the type of person you wish everyone knew. He always says the right thing at the right time. Whenever there is a crisis, we would always call dad. I love my dad more than anything and can't even begin to imagine what it would be like for him to have to go through this. The Lord is going to take care of him. There have been fasts and prayers said for him that I am sure we are not even aware of. I love you dad and right now I feel calm about things, everything will work out. We love you and I am proud to call you Dad.
