St Patrick’s Day

St Patrick’s Day this year was an eventful one for us. First, Ethan invited us to go to Kneaders for breakfast with him. I had the Greek omelet btw, 10/10 recommend. Then he can to ballet class with us. Then we went back to my house and hung out all afternoon. He needed to do laundry, and we pressured him into playing sneaky snacks squirrel and watching a movie about horses that don’t talk the entire time. Lol





After the dryer was finished we went to Dani’s house for haircuts. Ethan got the usual, Ruby got a bang trim, and Cora cut off most of her hair. Now she’s sporting a very cute bob. 

Clayton left on a trip to Las Vegas with his friend to run a tough mudder race, and I hired a sitter so I could go out on the town with Dani. We’ve been planning to go to this Irish pub in SLC called Piper Down Pub for a long time, and decided that St Patty's was the perfect day to check it out. We were right, it was very VERY festive. There was a band called Murph and the Giants that alternated Irish songs with 90’s alternative, bag pipers, step dancers, kilts everywhere, and some pub food. I got the fish and chips, Dani had the corned beef. We had a great time and talked about making it a St Patrick’s day tradition.

First Day of Kindergarten

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

To Kathy

Last Tuesday we were having a Johnson family conference call when Scott told us that Kathy's health was really going downhill and that he thinks we need to be there soon. We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time
