Our week in California...

Well, we had a fun and productive week in California. It started out in Palm Springs having early Thanksgiving dinner with my Grandma and family (I surprisingly don't have any pictures from that though). Then we drove to El Centro to drop off Kylee with David's Mom and we were off to L.A. the next day for another one of my surgeries. And for all of those who don't know yet....it was another successful surgery! My doctor is very optimistic that I won't need another surgery and that we are on the road to getting pregnant again!!! Woo hoo!! Anyway, we then drove back to El Centro where we spent the rest of our week. David's brother and sister came up and we all celebrated Thanksgiving with most of his family. Here are some pictures from all that....

David's Dad owns a feedlot and they have huge piles of corn. The kids love to play in it and try to climb all the way to the top. It's very exhausting but I got up there eventually!! Kylee had a blast!


There is also an area where all the bird in El Centro love to hang out. David's Mom drove her car through the middle of them all and this is the picture we got of it. Kylee thought it was the coolest thing ever!

David has been growing his hair out and one night while we were all hanging out talking, I started playing with his hair and this is the finished product. Cute huh!!!!

Introducing the FIRST ANNUAL JOHNSON'S THANKSGIVING TURKEY TROT!!! Becky (David's sister) put this together. It was a 2.2 mile run and everyone had fun doing it. I couldn't run because I had just come off surgery two days prior so I drove up around in David's truck and took some pictures. Sydney was the over-all winner!

Another family tradition of ours is that we go to the Salten Sea in El Centro the day after Thanksgiving and hike the trail up to the little mountain. We have a picnic at the end of the hike too. It's fun and the kids enjoy it!

Kylee was pooped from walking and sat on Daddy's shoulders most of the way.

These are all the grandkids that went. We are missing Paige, Abby, Navy and Andie.

Here they are from youngest to oldest. It's starts with Kylee at age 2 and ends with Meg at age 16. Grandma has her hands full!!!
