Update on Brett

Yesterday Brett had a Dr's appt. to check out his incision. It has been crazy, his incision hasn't been healing on the outside in a few spots. So yesterdays appt. we found out they are finally looking closed. YEAH! We also had them x-ray his hand and saw that it looks like he had a small hair line fracture that was healing ok. I don't know how he could have even gotten up if he would have had a cast on it. But it is ok, just aches once in a while when he uses it to much. They also got him a Muscle contractor thing that works on his muscles. He has lost so much in his leg we are getting worried, he has to use that on his quad muscle and see if he can get it working a little before physical therapy starts. Which if everything still looks good in 2 weeks then he will start. I don't think I want to be there for that. I think it will be very painful;(
Sunday we had our Home teacher and the Elders Q. President come give him a priesthood blessing, he has perked up a little and seems to be feeling a ton better, the incision looks a lot better. They also helped Brett give me a Priesthood Blessing of comfort. I have been so overwhelmed and really needed it and I know that with the Lords help I can get through this ordeal, I have just had a lot weighing on me since he has been laid up I felt like I am doing it alone. Now I feel like I have help. I can feel the help of the spirit and I am more calm and collected. It is hard when you are the only one that can drive and get people places. I got Brett to try to drive Connor to his game on Saturday, by himself. He did ok, but someone has to help him get in and out of the car. So he is just not ready yet to do it on his own. I think once we find a car that he will fit in, it will be easier.
To make it all even better he also found out on the the day of his accident that he has a hyrnia on the right side, they didn't think it was caused by the accident, so now he will see a surgeon in 2 wks to see what we need to do, or how bad it is.

He has 5 classes left to graduate. 1 is Business Statistics and 1 Brief Calculus. The last 3 are the last business classes and luck has it each is a pre rec. to the other so he can only take 1 at a time? So he has taken the stats class twice at USU only to not pass, because he doesn't understand and USU teachers don't care to help you. So he registered at SLCC this semester to take the STATS class and once he passes that one he can take the calculus and one of the bus classes this summer. Then fall and Spring of next year he will have 1 class each semester and he should be able to graduate in the spring of 2012! Just a year before his Daughter graduates from High School. SO CRAZY! Anyway so we are finally seeing an end in sight. And we are going to have a huge party when this is all over with;)

Jr. Jazz and misc.

Keaton likes to take over Brett's recliner, anytime Brett gets up Keaton jumps right in and gets mad when you try to take him out.

We caught Keaton trying to walk down the hall dressed like this, he thought he was pretty cute. Especially when everyone laughs at him.

One night this month, we looked outside to see the most beautiful sky. It was all blue, the cloud just hung heavy all around. Looked like a big pillow.

Connor started Jr. Jazz Basketball games at the Logan Rec. Center he loves to play, this year he is on the team 76r's


I am not sure what this is all about? Something with the Tylenol

Alyssa's Birthday

Alyssa's Birthday

January 11th was Alyssa's Birthday. She turned 9. She was so excited for her presents.


Keaton was trying so badly to open her gifts, He was getting really upset and Alyssa was trying to be nice but getting frustrated that he wouldn't leave them alone. It was very funny!





Ashleigh made Alyssa some earrings for her birthday, she even sleeps in them and never takes them out. I think she really loved them!




She opted to eat at the Olive Garden for her birthday dinner, instead of having a birthday party with friends. I love watching people when the kids keep coming in to sit down and then to top it off I have a husband that can hardly move, and we have to have an extra chair for the leg. Just one me seat please? Such a sight!




We always end up having 2 parties, one Johnson side and one Giles side.





End of 2010

Well we have had much to be greatful for this past year. We have been truly blessed by those around us. We are lucky Brett's Accident wasn't as bad as it could have been, we are Thankful for his work, letting him work from home. We don't know how long it will last. He can't fit in a car to drive himself to work. His leg has to be straight. I will adventually be driving him down to Salt Lake a couple days a week. It is going to be slow healing time.

News Years Eve

We had a great time with my whole family New years eve. We played lots of games, ate great food and just had a fabulous time. It was fun to have my Brothers and Sisters all there and their kids. Since everyone has moved away we only see them 1-2 times a year. The kids love to play with their cousins. These are some of the highlights...


The 3 smallest boys were having a great time with the bag of different colored dice. They would stack it, knock them over and just played so well together.

We had 3 tables for everyone to sit at and play games.

Alyssa with her cousin Elle

Alyssa with Teyvin

Keaton had fun with Jett

Connor and Alyssa

Kaeli was showing us her stack of dice til the boys knocked it down

My brother Craig and sister in law Carrie waiting for the party to end maybe?

Wiggle Car Races

We have 3 wiggle cars the kids got for Christmas. They think it is fun to go round and round the kitchen island. It has given them hours of fun. As soon as they can go outside they will not be able to come back in! Keaton is very fast, he always beats me in races. He also cuts me off coming around the bends. It is so funny how they just know what to do, and to think he is only a year and a half! Kaeli likes to win me also.
