We had another wonderful Christmas this year. You never know how it will all unfold, but I think all of our family was pleased and mostly just enjoyed being together as a family. As usual, Christmas Eve began at G’ma & G’pa Johnson’s home. It is another tradition that my kids live for every year. …

Holiday Festivities
‘Tis the season of festivities. With the holiday season comes every concert and activity imaginable. We attended choir concerts, band concerts, school programs, and more. We also decorated sugar cookies, a gingerbread house, and visited Temple Square and the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We also attempted to go to the local nativity and walk around …
Life and Health Insurance Exam
I began working for Links Consulting and Producers FMO about a year and a half ago. Not long after I began working there, my boss, Mike, confided in me that, although I was mostly just doing the billing and commissions, one of the main reasons he hired me was because he thought I had real …
Ellie’s 5th Birthday!
Man, where does the time go? My baby turned 5 today. Can you believe it?! I can’t. Ellie had preschool on her birthday so I got to go in and help in class. We sang to her and displayed her life through pictures on the wall. After preschool, she had an appointment to go see …
Happy 11th Birthday Katelyn!
It wasn’t Katelyn’s turn for a friend party this year so I downplayed it and just told her we would have cake and ice-cream in the evening. Little did she know, I had planned on checking her out and taking her to lunch and then to “Color Me Mine”. She has been dying to go …

Jake is the Student Body President and was required to dress-up but not sure he would have otherwise. Megan and her besties made their costumes from scratch. They were excited to use a play on words and be …
Surf Soccer
Megan’s Surf soccer team dominated this season. They were undefeated, beating some of the teams 12-0. We were obviously put in the wrong division, but it sure was fun to see them come together as a team and do some damage. They will move up in the spring. It will be interesting to see how …
Jacob’s Eagle Court of Honor
After many years of hard work, late nights, projects, camp outs, long hours, Jacob has finally achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. This is nothing short of a major accomplishment. The beginning stages began when he turned eleven and went into “Eleven Year Old” scouts. He quickly jumped head first into completing the more difficult …
Next stop…Alaska
After Ellie and I returned from Cali, we decided we had so much fun that we would try again but this time head to Alaska to see my mom. Not really. I had been wanting to head up there for quite some time, but wasn’t sure how to pull it off without spending a fortune …
Our California Adventure
When the Denney’s moved to San Diego, our family was devastated. One of the few perks from their move was a good excuse to take frequent trips to Cali. Ellie and I decided to take advantage of the major drop in prices for airline tickets to San Diego. We snatched up two tickets and began …
