New Blog

The Christmas music is up and running. And since I am feeling like Spring should be here already, we have a spring blog. I know, weird. Deal with it.

I need your help

There is a conspiracy afoot. I know that word will get your attention. Remington and Tamara are conspiring to create a fantasy dynasty. You have all received emails that propose trades between the wedded couple that will shift the balance of power in our league. This could shake the very foundation of what our league was founded upon. We need to veto these trades so that the integrity of our playoff system remains intact. Weston, I call upon you as our league commissioner to do whatever is in your power to stop these injustices. Thank you all for your help in this matter.

Kirk

(By the way... I play Tamara this week and if these trades go through I am going to get crushed.

HELP........PLEASE)

Let the Playoffs Begin

First, condolences to Remington who failed to make the playoffs. Tamara and I are playing for the third time this year, and the second time in two weeks. May the best team win, as long as that team is mine.

Kirk

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Hoped you all enjoyed your turkey and pies.

I'm just posting this because
I
want to
get Kati's Shakira pic youtube
thingy
out of the way
so I can see which name
is in the lead in the poll.

You want to watch this again,

I know you do

For us weirdoes

Brandon Sanderson is coming out with ANOTHER Mistborn. That man writes 2 1000 page books a year. That is insane.

Peer Pressure...

i noticed that after the uproar over people's choice of names, there have been those who have changed their vote, and i just want it to be known that i do not approve of muscleing and maneuvering going on in our family... i'm looking at you Kristen...

More Duke

Bet you haven't seen this.

Teancum?

I'd have to say that that's the worst name, and people just want children who are assassins.

Obviously...

The best bible names are Joshua and Daniel. Do we even need to vote? Also, for all you alphabet game lovers out there, our new licence plates are the best ever, containing X, Y, and Z. Yes, we are the ones to follow on your next road trip.

Possibly the greatest day ever...

I read today that it will be PG-13.

high school hurdles

Remember the Lite-Brite? Pretty good song too.

Can you do this?

I don't know if that is a fair question on the side about the players. Bronco can only work with what he has. The few throws that the QB does seem to get to the players aren't caught anyway. So really can you blame the coaches or all the receivers!!

Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween was cold and rainy. We went to the trunk or treat at our church pavillion, and the kids had a pretty good time. We also had a great time carving pumpkins this year. Here are some pics!
Also a cute pre-primary program picture.

Johnson Halloween

I wanted to get these pictures posted first thing so everyones day could be a little better with us in it. The boys were great sports with their costumes for the ten minutes they had them on. It was raining but I was making them go out anyway. We got down the street, about 5 houses and the complaints started. I made them finish the rest of the street and we came home. Carter didn't make it that long. Luckily, after we came home, it stoped raining so the two older boys went back out for 30 minutes and got more candy that I made Kirk take to school and out of the house. It was a fun halloween even though the trick or treating wasn't ideal. Actual Halloween night was much better weather. Too bad.

Kim. I need to know how to get a Star Valley reunion book from two years ago. Talk to me.

Happy Halloween from the Stoney family... or should I say the incredible family.

Elephant and dog

Yeah we just got our tickets to come home. Kim and the kids will be coming in on the 11th and Joe will join us all sometime the next week. We can't wait to see you all!!!!

Looks different than I thought, the Rome Temple that is:

Sadie's New Look

Sadie fell a few weeks ago and chipped one front tooth and knocked the other front tooth very loose. Last week she had to have the loose tooth pulled. Poor thing. Here are some pictures of our now toothless Sadie. Don't worry. She'll only look this way for 5 or so years.
Before:

After:

By the way, she was a trooper for the whole thing. They had to put her completely out for the pulling, and while most kids were screaming in recovery, she was calm and sweet. All she wanted was her binky!!

Kara Pictures

I had a neighbor take these and of course, they are adorable! I just knew no ones day would be complete without seeing them. On a side note, Brocks birthday is tomorrow and I just thought I'd let people know (grandma) that we are doing a very small party for him after dinner tomorrow. If anyone is interested, they are welcome to come up. Let me stress the smallness and therefore, I don't expect any takers but I don't want anyone excluded. This would include dinner so let me know by the end of the day please. Back to the pictures.

Rome Italy Temple - Sooo exciting!

President Thomas S. Monson will preside over the groundbreaking ceremony for the Rome Italy Temple on Saturday, October 23, 2010, where an architectural rendering of the temple will be revealed. Attendance is strictly limited to invited priesthood leaders and special guests. However, the proceedings of the ceremony will be rebroadcast to every chapel in Italy on Sunday, October 24, so that all may participate.

Building sites in Rome must be examined for Roman ruins before construction is permitted. The inspection is carried out by digging trenches every 10 to 15 feet across the property. The day the temple property was to be inspected, Church members in Rome held a special fast. No ruins were found over the entire property, yet an old Roman village was discovered just 100 yards beyond the property boundary line. The Church purchased the property in the late 1990s.3

We The People

Also...

i think we need a new poll about which type of apocalypse would be easiest to survive, ideas for options are; zombies, vampire rampage, magneto, the second coming, alien invasion, and a meteor/nuclear war

THIS JUST IN!!!

i just found out that i can change anyones rosters by merit of league manager if needed, i just changed rem and tamara's as they are in china, so if you need me to do so for you any week, call or text me at 8013806714, and i will get it done

Tamara - if you haven't seen this yet DON'T WATCH

Just thought I would share this crazy clip from the Amazing Race this last week - Sorry, Tam.
I LOVE THE AMAZING RACE!

What I want . . .

Has everyone seen the Apple TV?? I want one. Instead of paying full price for cable - you can just watch the shows you want for .99 each. Sounds good to me . . . except NBC hasn't signed up yet - so I will continue to watch biggest loser online. Check out this review HERE

One More - This kid has Down Syndrome:

@ Yahoo! Video

So, I was just outside gathering Carter up from the neighbors and out came Brock with not the jeans he was wearing just moments before but with Kara's size newborn Dress bottoms (scrunchy underwear type things) on over his diaper. This answers the question that I'm sure was on every ones mind; "who has the least amount of area in the bum region?". Porter would be the real answer but Brocks not far behind. Ha Ha. It was just funny to see him run outside so I thought I'd share. Talk about self-confidence!

So Kara's Baby Blessing will be the second week in Oct. So the week after General Conference. Our church starts at 11:00 and I'm sure we will be doing some type of lunch after the meetings. We would love all to come but understand if you can't. You just wont hear from us for a month. Love to all.

We are back from our trip and glad to see that a lot of people have posted on the blog. Good to see the pictures and here all that is going on. Joe Buck the patio looks amazing. You all did a great job. Here are a few pictures that we took on our trip. The kids actually were great traveling and would ask every morning, "mom where are we going on our adventure today". Bryar would also often ask, "what state are we in now". It always seamed to be a different one every time she asked. I am not going to go into detail because I just spent a really really really long time updating our little family blog so if you want a little more detail just jump on over. But here are a few pictures for you so we can also participate and be a part of the family.

This is us eating breakfast one morning in our trailer. Here is the White House. Bridger was out by this point of our day.

Washington Monument and the boys.

Gettysburgand you can't leave out the roasting of the marshmallows and the smores!!

The Patio

Ok, we finally got around to sealing the patio - and here it is. Thank you to everyone who showed up bright and early to help us out!!

Mystery Bag

For all you who haven't been in Kindergarten for a while, the Mystery Bag is what used to be called Show and Tell. And I'm here to share a little Shakira with you. This song has been stuck in my head for months - and I still LOVE IT! It makes me happy. So press pause on the music and prepare to dance to the beat.

PS Shakira is beautiful. Yes, she is 5'1". But, if I could look like her I would gladly give a few inches. Good trade.

Enjoy

Baby Name

We have just decided in the last two minutes that our new daughter's name is Kara LaVee Johnson. In the wonderful world of social media, YOU are the first to know.

Johnson Baby Girl

Christy was a real trooper and delivered our baby girl last night at 9:27. She is 7 pounds 6 ounces, and 18 inches long. We will post again soon with pics and a name...hopefully.

Kim, look at your account on ESPN as I have proposed a trade with you. That is all.

A NEW INDEPENDENCE DAY?

Do we celebrate this week in future years or not, BYU fans?

BIG DAY!

I just dropped Emily off for her first day of kindergarten. The tears have stopped now (there were only a few, I promise), but I still can't believe how grown up she seemed today! She was so excited and so confident! Here are some pictures....how do you like the backpack she chose? We just couldn't pass it up!!

Not that I watch,

Hello everyone. We just got back from camping this week. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Wish some of you could have been there in the nice hot, sticky, muggy weather with us. It was a fun family time. Now Joe is done with his paternity leave and back to work. If you want more information about our fun camping trip just check out our blog. Love you all

I would now like to make a public announcement and apologize to TamAra for getting her name spelled incorrectly. Luckily my entire family can back up Shane's comment that spelling is not my best subject. But none the less I am sorry but now I will always remember.

Thank you!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came and helped us pour our patio - for a first time thing I think we did a pretty good job!! You all are so great for helping. I haven't posted pictures yet because it still needs to be sealed. Since everyone who cares enough to look at the patio has already seen it, I really haven't felt the need to post unfinished pics. When we have a finished product I'll post!

Close Encounter??

Well, although I haven't seen close encounters of the third kind, I hear at least part of it was filmed here. The benefit of traveling alone is I can waste all my time seeing places like Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower. If anyone ever finds themself in Gillette Wyo, I would recommend visiting both.

OK, just a little update on us here. Joe is finally coming off nights. Yeah!!! He has been working nights for a month. It is great for the first couple of days but then it gets old keeping kids quiet in the morning to let him sleep. And if you know my kids...they don't do quiet. Asher is pushing six weeks and getting a little bigger. It is funny how fast they grow. Also exciting news is Joe gets his paternity leave starting Monday so we have two weeks off in August. We are planning to paint our house and fix up anything we want before we move in June so that we can enjoy it before we move. So he is really just moving from a job he makes money for and working for free with the joy of kids trying to help and working around you. Love you all and will post again soon. I am doing a good job some of the rest of you need to pick up a little on this information loop. Hope you are feeling better Tamera!! Over and out!

Shane?

Not in a way of criticism, but why is Shane getting all of the love on the poll this time? There are some great candidates on that board.

It's getting intense. I couldn't wait to unveil this--

We've decided to lose touch with reality, and we're gonna just do it. What the heck. We're themeing our lives from here on out. Lord of the Rings, baby. We are stepping out of reality as you know it. You're all invited to hobbiton for a feast next month. Remember your ale and weed from the south farthing.

joe, please re-invite doug to the family blog, he can't log in for some reason, his email is doug@covinors.com

For those of you who've seen the Old Spice commercial - This guy's hilarious!

Keep current...

So here's what's up---Kati's tomato plants are taller than me, but we've no tomatoes. We are pouring a patio next Saturday, and will thereafter eat breakfast every morning in the fresh summer air breezing gently across the lawn, massaging our bodies with the scent of dewdrops and honey. It will be cute. The twins are going up and down stairs, which seems like progrees until we remember that Ian and Jonas both walked before age one, and were about twice as large. Ian is obsessed with spirit prison and soccer, and Jonas is just running around in constant adorable disobedience. I am getting my master's degree in a sell-out manuever (educational leadership rather than history). We aren't too busy to hang out with all of you, like you may think, but we are a little apprehensive that our children will drive you out of our lives forever.

Alrightythen

This is one of the last pictures I took on our camera - so here is our update. We hiked up to Timpanogos Cave last week - Ian made it with just a little whining, and, well, Joe Buck carried Jonas the ENITRE way. Props to Joe Buck. Jonas is NOT a small kid and the hike is pretty steep. That is all.
