~The Johnston Family~



This family is truly amazing! They are hysterical, loving, caring, compassionate, Believers, and so much more!  Erin, Graham and Jordan bring so much joy to everyone and they are a blast to be around. If you will remember 5 years ago, Graham had a double lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis. Kendall and Jordan were only 2 years old. I remember letting the girls make signs in our garage for when Graham got to come home after transplant. He made it through the toughest part...the first year post transplant and has had an incredible "new" life. He has gotten to hunt, play soccer, coach Jordan's soccer team and watch his daughter grow up. Fast forward five years...he isn't doing so well. It seems that the doctors found that what he is going through, is in fact, rejection. He is back in the hospital right now and waiting to see what the next step is. They deserve nothing but the best. I have had several people ask me how they can help and my first initial response is Prayer...Prayers are the number one thing, but I have also set up a page that you can donate to. If you are interested in doing that, I have provided the link below.

Beach Week 2015

We go to the beach every year as a family. We started out going to Surfside Beach in Texas for many years with aunts, uncles and cousins. Last year we ventured off and went to Dauphin Island,Alabama. We had a great time there but wanted to try something different this year...so we packed up and headed to Destin, FL! It was awesome! The water was clear and the sand was like powder. There were 12 of us in the house that we rented for the week: Mom, dad, Shane, Michelle, Addison, Knox, Aisley, Brandon, Kendall, Brynlee, Landry and I. Those kids had SO much fun together! They played and laughed the whole time. Last year Brynlee did not like the sand at all, but Landry loved it...this year...total opposite! Landry did not want it on her feet for even a second. So, between trying to keep up with Kendall in the water, Brynlee running around and Landry not getting "dirty", I didn't get all the pictures I usually do.

We rented this little moped/car type thing and rode around the beach. It was fun!
