SoCal 2019 – Hollywood
Our big Christmas gift to our kids this year was tickets to Disneyland. We had the opportunity to head down a little early to spend some extra time in Southern California before the main attraction. To break up the drive, we decided to stay a night in St. George. We were looking for a hotel …
More missionaries in our family
And just like that, we add two more missionaries to our family. This has been a long journey for them but it has finally come to fruition. We are so excited to watch Elder and Sister Johnson head off on a military relations mission in San Diego, California. They will be amazing! via Instagram

Girl’s Camp

They seriously have the best group of girls and leaders anyone could ask for. Although I have never been with them I always love hearing about their experiences through the week. …
