My Birthday

 On my birthday I went bowling, which I haven't done for three years.  I had so much fun bowling.  I didn't do very good but after some practice I'll do much better.  I can't wait to go again.

 Matthew was just happy the whole time we bowled.

 My dad beat me real bad... but I still had fun bowling with him.

Here's a shot of me bowling.  I missed that one.  Megan's ball took a long time getting down there.

After bowling we opened presents.  I got new Super Mario Brothers Wii, a priesthood book by John Bytheway, squishy bowls for camping, a deck of cards with a book of card tricks and games, Goalie gloves, a big bag of Skittles, a German soccer ball, cribbage and Rook.  I haven't played Cribbage yet but so far I love Rook.

After opening presents, we went to look at a house in St. Leon.  We were only allowed to look at 3 houses, and we were really worried because we already looked at two and they were really bad.  But luckily, this one was amazing. It has four floors, just like the other ones, and a cool attic that will be perfect for all the kids, a basement that has a room that could be the bonus room, a big kitchen and a cool family room that will be the perfect size for our big couch.

 This is our house.
 We took a stroll around our house past the fields.
This is part of the perfect attic.

We also went to the park.  I love the park that's by our hotel.  It has gigantic slides and I love going down them with Matthew or on my stomach.


It was a great awesome birthday.

Utah birthday party and flight to Germany




I haven't been blogging for so long because I've been having too much fun.

For the past few weeks, we've been visiting family and playing with cousins.  I had a birthday party with my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.  I got a Pokemon video game.  I also got four awesome books,  Alma the Younger, Out of Jerusalem 1 and 2, and a picture Dictionary on learning German.  Last, I got my Aaronic Priesthood line in a picture frame.  It goes like this...

Ryan Christopher Johnson
Christopher Shane Johnson (my dad)
Delmar W Johnson (my grandpa)
David Joseph Belcher
Spencer Wooley Kimball
Heber Jeddy Grant
George Quayle Cannon
Brigham Young
Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, Martin Harris
Joseph Smith Jr.
Peter, James and John
Jesus Christ

My grandma Johnson printed it out and put it in a frame.  

I also got a pocket knife (finally) from my grandma and Grandpa Walton.

Then we went on two planes ending up in Atlanta.  We stayed there for a day.  Then late at 6:20 we went into the air heading to Germany.  It was a 9 hour flight but we got to Germany at 10:00am (German time).  The 9 hour flight was not boring.  There was a special TV where we could watch lots of cool movies.  I played DS and watched Alice in Wonderland.  It was really cool.  You should see it.  I also watched Planet 51.  I only slept one hour one the plane.

Once we got there, we got our baggage but it took a long time to figure out where the baggage claim was.  Then we waited a few hours in the airport and finally we got to go on a one hour drive to the hotel where we're staying in now.
