Fall Break - Grandpa's Birthday

The beauty of Mark attending a state school is that he gets days off from school that, in all reality, he probably shouldn't get. No complaints here, just plans to make the most of the latest 4-day weekend. We spent Wednesday night and Thursday in Manti with Mark's parents and sister. Wednesday night, we went to the high school football game to cheer on the Templars. Mark took Chad down on the track upon which Mary questioned, "Are you allowed to be down here?" He replied simply, "Mark Johnson, Class of 2002." That's all he needed to say (though it was really just a funny line from a King of Queens episode.) Thursday was Chad's grandpas birthday, so we spent the day celebrating the only way we know how: Mark shingled the shed roof, Mary highlighted her hair, and Chad took a 3-hour nap. We apologize that pictures of the action have not yet been released. We do have pictures of one Elder Mike Johnson on his mission in Switzerland. Check 'em out. The birthday party was fun. Grandpa got a new gas grill and a comfy-cozy sweater (pictures also not available,...our bad.)

Thanks, sooooooooooo much! The roofs look great and now maybe we can put something in the sheds that won't get wet from leaks! Now, just a few more hornets to try to convince that they need a new home!
Thanks everyone for the great party! Got calls from sisters, Nate, Haylee and Blake, got to see Chad cute smile, a great family, what more could one ask for!??

Holy smokes! Did you send those photos to the NUMB3RS security camera digital photo enhancement lab? I don't remember them looking that good.

Still picking up nails form the old shingles.....! Bob G is bringing by a GREAT BIG magnet tomorrow, maybe that'll do the trick. Next time you re-shingle a roof, make sure you have a tarp down below to catch the nails! Thanks for the help!
