We went to Moyle Park last year near Pioneer Day and loved it so much that we decided to go back this year as well. All my kids, including my very oldest, love experiencing, in a very mild version, of some of the things the pioneers did many, many years ago. Plus, I think my …

Value Chalk Run
Our stake hosted a “Value 5K Chalk Run” for all the young women in our stake. Each pit stop had water and a different color of chalk representing a different value (There are a total of eight values). I thought it was a really neat idea so I signed us up. They allowed all girls …
Fourth of July 2015
Another 4th of July has come and gone. Another Riverton parade, another bike ride to breakfast, another outing to the local pool. We love our traditions. On the 3rd of July we went to the Riverton parade with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. We also celebrated that night with a barbecue and fireworks. The morning of …
Megan turns 13
Megan fractured her arm at the end of June, just before her birthday. I told her “happy birthday” since it cost me a small fortune in medical bills. Unfortunately, I couldn’t hold firm to that statement and instead we celebrated by going to “Inside Out” at the movie theater. She wanted to go to Costco …
Kid Kamp
My kids have been wanting to host a day camp for kids in the area for years now. It just seems we keep getting beat out by other teens wanting to do the same thing who get their flyers out sooner. This year, Meg and Katelyn started early to create a flyer. They decided they …

Annual Johnson Family Camp Out 2015
I am not sure how many years we have been doing our annual Johnson family camp out now, but it has been a very long time…I think my first one was when Drew was a baby so at least 8 years now. My kids look forward to it like Christmas. Under no circumstance can we …
Grandma Ria’s Visit
Last year was the first year that I can remember my mom not coming down for a visit. Due to some health problems she was experiencing, I went up to visit her instead. All of the kids (except Ellie who went with me) missed not seeing her and were especially excited to see her this …
Field Trips
I may have fallen behind, like way behind on my blog posts at the end of the school year. It is such a busy time of year. I find myself feeling a little overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. We have every concert, play, activity, and field trip imaginable. I went with Ellie …
