The Johnson Clan...

We just enjoyed a fabulous cousin crazed weekend with my family!

let me explain to you my family background...

I am the youngest of 7 siblings. 2 boys, then 5 girls... i am the baby.

My parents divorced when i was 3. This is the very reason why we are so close. I love that we have always been there for each other and I have such wonderful examples to follow.

I have always been so spoiled. ;)

my mother married and had 2 more boys, yes, my mom had 10 children, 9 living! She's amazing!

these little brothers of mine i love to pieces... i still like to be the baby. :)

I have wonderful parents, but i have even more wonderful siblings! {wink wink}

My dad and all the Johnson clan were here for the weekend. We have 2 big events...

My nephew TJ is enlisting into the army and will be working in negotiating, he may be living in Germany soon. My other Nephew Nick is entering the MTC and serving in the Portland Oregon mission.

it was so much fun to all get together... we were missing all the other family that couldn't come, but most of us were here and we had a wonderful time.

I love my family...

on saturday we took the little ones to see this cute movie, while the big kids and Dad's went to the BYU game...
