England: The quick version

I have left England and now I am in Dubai with my brother and his family! Mom and I had a wonderful two and a half weeks with Nanna. She is recovering nicely and I believe enjoyed our company. We did a lot of things for her around the house at Hollywell Gardens, and made sure she rested and ate well. I loved getting to know that little town of Swaffham, especially all the ladies that worked at the Co-Op, post office, Pedlar's Gold, Fish and Chip shop, and the Library. This post is just a quick one for now, I will do more when I get home to Utah, but I just wanted my friends and family to see a little of what I have been doing the last 2 weeks!

Hollywell Gardens. Isn't it so cute? It was cold, so no flowers or full trees. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look then. Doesn't it look like a movie set? Nanna loves it there, and it is just around the corner from everything!

Mother Hubbard's fish and chips. Delicious. Greesy. Huge. Excellent. That was only half the chips!
One must always get a picture in front of a English Telephone booth. They are so cute.

Mother and I went on some nice country walks while we were there....Isn't this a great picture of the English country side?
This is inside of the Norwich Cathedral facing the Sacrament and Pulpit. This place was amazing.
Norwich Cathedral- view from the cloister where the monks would walk round and round. Anyway, those are just a few. To show you all of them is going to take a long time, so I have to do it a little a day and save the post. Plus the Middle East. I am having a fantastic time!!! Thank you so much Heath for letting me go on this great adventure with my family. You are so good to me. I love you. See you soon!

Yamboree

Heath and I went to another Yamboree! I didn't have my camera there so I snapped just a few on my iphone. (These first two pictures I stole from by talented sister-in-law Britni). Heath and Jack. So adorable.

Here we are riding the roller coaster at the Yamboree. Brooklyn and me, Steph and Noah, Angie and Jack.

Jack and Noah at the Halloween party that me dear sisters-in-law and mother-in-law put on. It was a blast! Such fun for all the kids.

All the Jones cousins in there 2010 Yamboree shirts.

Yamboree Princess. One of many. It was so fun going to the pageant, the parties and the parades. The food was delicious and the rides were so much fun for the kids.

Ohio!

Me and Little G. He was so fun!


A few weeks ago I got to go see my best friend Jess in Cleveland. Jess, me and her adorable little boy Gavin, had a lot of fun driving around Ohio visiting some beautiful places. Including Amish country and Kirtland while we were there.

This is the River where the Saints were baptized in Kirtland. Ohio is BEAUTIFUL in the fall.

Joseph Smith and Emma's bedroom.Complete with a toddler bed and a cradle.

This is what they call the translation and revelation room where the Prophet received many of the revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants. This is the actual table!

This is the first MTC. A small room where the men were taught the Gospel, Geography as well as Hebrew.

The N.K. Whitney general store! He kept such exact records, that the items shown inside were what he sold at that time.

The Whitney Home.

This Saw Mill was engineered by my Great Great (Great?) Grandpa Joel Hills Johnson.

Kirtland temple.

Must share the road with the Amish buggies!

Riding in a buggy.

Big Ben. He was HUGE!

Cute Gavin loved the animals!

Don't know why my fists are clenched. Think I was a little nervous. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with the Gerbers! Thanks so much for letting me stay and taking care of me when I got sick! You are the best Jess.

Clason Reunion

A few weeks ago my family went down to southern Utah for our Clason reunion. Grandma and Grandpa Frank came, all of us Clason kids and our families (except Em and Tim.....cute baby Charlie was just born), and the Fonoimoanas were there as well. One of Dad's good friends from high school owns a ranch down there and let us stay in this beautiful lodge! We all fit- tight squeeze- but so much fun! John and Matt were the first in the row boat.....however....no ores were provided- so being Clason boys- they rigged some up with what was found on the ranch. They immediately began fishing. Nothing was caught until day 2 when John and Dan got them with homemade spears that night! So hilarious!
The paddle boats were a hit! All the kids loved them. Uncle Dan and Aunt Cat giving Harrison and Ivy a ride. So many rides!
View from the pond. There was a zip line that went across that the boys did, but I didn't get pictures! Too cold for me.
John, Toria, Matt, Asher and Canyon looking for fish......so many fish.....no luck with the rod!
Cute Harrison being Spiderman on his way to the lake.
Waiting for his ride in the fishing boat while playing with the croc.
So many more pics to share. These were just a few of the fun at the lake.

Summer fun with the Cousins

Clason, Yates, and Howe cousins! Such a fun couple of weeks! We miss you Asher, Ivy and Canyon!

Southern Utah Part 1

Cat, Dan, Heath and I went down to Southern Utah this weekend and got to enjoy the beautiful weather and landscapes! Here are a few pictures in Zion.








The next day we went to the Redcliffs, as well as driving down to Moccasin and Fredonia AZ where my dad grew up....pictures to come.
