week in review...

We got Rusty this little piggie stuffed animal from DI, and he just loves it! He goes and grabs it and carries it with him when he greets us. He even sleeps with it. It's so cute!




Abby's volleyball team did really well at their game on Saturday. They won, and she got to serve 10 times! Her team is really learning how to work together. 





Ashlyn got a job! She's going to be working at Reed Dental in Tempe, AZ, right next to ASU. It's a brand-new doctor and a brand-new practice; they just opened last Monday. She's so excited to start tomorrow. She'll be working as a dental assistant and assisting with orthodontic and Endodontic patients as well. She's excited to learn more things and work with nice people. We are excited for her to start her career!



My mom's birthday was on Wednesday! They had a delicious dinner that my Dad helped to make! Wahoo Dad! Love you, Mom, so grateful that we get to celebrate you!


Grandma and Grandpa Johnson have been visiting Arkansas and posting cool pics; they're having a great time!


We went to the Zaharis carnival on Friday night, and Abby invited 2 friends to come with us. They had a blast together riding the rides, playing the games, and hanging out together. 


My beautiful mom on her birthday...








 Jacob and I went to the audiologist to check on his hearing this week. His hearing has gotten worse over the last 1 1/2 yrs since he was last checked. He has significant hearing loss, his audiologist had us make an appointment with an ENT so that we can try and figure out if there's a structural part of his ear that's causing the hearing loss, and if not then he will need to get hearing aids. It's tricky because we don't have any family history of hearing impaired so they've got to rule out anything that could cause it first. It's a pretty significant hearing loss, and on top of that he may also have auditory processing disorder. Double whammy! Poor guy. Hoping to help him hear better soon.

Week in Review...

Halloween this week! Abby was really sick with a bad virus, which gave her a horrible sore throat and cough. So I stayed in with her for Halloween. Ashlyn went to her best friend's house for a party. She was a pretty ballerina! She's so cute!

Abby didn't like that her sister was taller than her! Ashlyn was nice enough to take Abby to the doctor because I had to have a cavity filled. Turns out that Abby is 5'4! She's taller than both Ashlyn and me. 



This was my Halloween costume, it's cute! I was so tired after school on Friday, so this is the best pic!



This cute photo of our first Halloween in Arizona popped up on my Facebook feed....
Jacob's taking another photography course, and they had to take a pic of each other. Look at this guy!! Such a cool pic!



Dad and Ash were taking the dogs for a walk on a beautiful night this last week...



It was Ryan's birthday this week so my family shared some cute photos of him. He loves the '9ers!



Beautiful sunset...






Haley shared her view out of her window, Look at that beautiful tree!



I had dental work done on Thursday, and my mouth finally stopped being unbearably painful today. I hate getting dental work done! Jacob earned an award at school for Courage, Respect, and Influence. The award was given to him by Ms. Tiffany, and it says, "Courage-I recently spoke to Jacob Johnson because he is 18 and in charge of himself now. Our conversation went smoothly, and he seemed willing to get what needed to be accomplished done. I'd like to recognize him because he is one of the few adult students here who didn't try to pass the responsibility to his parents in front of me. Great job!" He got to pick a gift card out, and he picked Chick-fil-A. Way to go, Jacob!

Week in Review....

Ashlyn and her friend Sara went to a ritzy neighborhood in Gilbert called Agritopia and they had lots of cool halloween decorations. They had fun checking them out!








Geckos outside!!

Abby had her first volleyball game of the new season. They lost, but she did pretty good! Go pink lightening!












Abby had a friend over on Friday and they thought it would be hilarious to put Kyler in the baby stroller and push him around. It was pretty funny!



 Abby did face painting at the halloween carnival last night for our ward, she was a spooky nurse....
