“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Memorial Day

WELCOME TO SUMMER IN ALASKA!!


Malia being funny w/ Shayne's hat...she is CONSTANTLY on the move! But we love her anyway!!

Here are SOME pics of our visitors over Memorial Day weekend...I can't believe I didn't get any pics of Baby Z, and the rest of the Zollinger clan!! Sorry you guys!! :(

Anyway...It was kind of a crazy weekend, but we loved having all the company. Jared, Kaye and Malia, and Ty, Liz and Zack showed up Thursday night from Anchorage. Haakon, Lyndsay, Corinne, Lauryn, and Torstin showed up Friday night from Anchorage as well. (I'm sure I've spelled names wrong here, if so...I'm really sorry.)


The Johnson Family...minus Lauryn...who is probably...


Yup...here she is, walking into the water to wash the sand off her hands...again. :)

Shayne, Jared, Ty, Haakon, and Gordo (Ty's friend), went fishing on the Ninilchik river Friday night about 11:00 to fish for King's on the "opener", and got home about 6:45 am the following morning. They were crazy! The rest of us hung out at our house, stayed up way too late talking
Friday night, but slept in on Saturday.

Corinne w/ Tipz...isn't this the cutest picture?! She LOVES pets, but only has her beta fish, Mr. Squishy McGregor Johnson, to love. :)

Ty & Liz left Saturday early evening, and the rest of us went to the Kasilof beach to enjoy the sunny weather. The pics are from Kasilof beach. Haakon and Lyndsay and their family left Sunday morning, and Jared and Kaye left Monday afternoon.


The Tuia Family

Shayne did a bunch of yard work Monday, and then we went to a BBQ at the Hansen's w/ the Swanson's, Wilson's, and Anderson's. So, our weekend has been full of friends we've known for a awhile, and friends that we are just getting to know, and are so glad to call them our friends. It's been a good LONG weekend!! :)

Fun to see the pics from the weekend! We had a great time visiting/talking with/and getting to know you guys. Thanks for putting up with our kid craziness! We could easily tell that you two are going to be awesome parents! Hope to see you guys on future adventures this summer!
We were so sad about Cojo and hope he is doing better. Corinne got some great opportunities to play with pets of all sorts that weekend. She loved it!
I am working on getting our post from our trip on there. Lots of fun pics! stay tuned... lindzjohnson.blogspot
