Matthew all ready for Church

Matthew looked so cute in his shirt and tie couldn't help myself; I had to take a couple of pictures of him so I could share it with you.

Deanna loves birthday parties because of the cake and ice cream. She especially likes to blow out the candles. She does not like to hear us all sing off tune. She covers her ears whenever she hears us sing. Deanna is a sweet 7 yr old with a lot of love to give her family.

My pictures of the Johnson Family Reunion

The Johnson Family Reunion was fun. It was great to be together and camp and be at the ocean. Thanks Megan for suggesting the idea and bringing it together. Being with my brothers and sistes is definitely irreplaceable.

The Largest Fountain Park in the World

This was so much fun, the fountains were beautiful. They play music and show pitures in the water of Peru, this event only shows at night so you get the full effect of the lights on the water. Here are few pictures. This park holds the world record for fountains.

The Adventure to Machu Picchu

The Trip to Machu Picchu was at first very difficult. We rode on a bus for 22hrs from Lima to Cusco and Joshua and I both got sick, it was horrible. We stayed with family who were kind and welcoming, if you are remotely related they take care of you. We experienced real humble home life. Cold showers, great food, bugs in your bed. The next day we took a taxi from Cusco to Ollantaytambo where you pick-up the train that takes you to the City of Machu Picchu this is different from the ancient city on the mountain. Then you take a 30min. bus ride to the top of the mountain and enter the park. This is where the awesome wonder of Machu Picchu takes place.

Albornoz Family Reunion Pictures

The Albornoz Family Reunion was great. This is the first time that all of the children have been home in 25 years. It also was Father's Day weekend, Abuelito Mario was so happy to have all of his children home it made him cry.
