We played all day and then walked the red carpet all night long. Continuing with tradition, we had our annual back-to-school fashion show. The kids picked their three favorite outfits and strutted their stuff. After voting was complete and tallied, each kid had a new outfit chosen to wear the next morning. We also discussed …

4th of July 2014
We began our Fourth of July festivities by attending the Riverton Parade. It is an annual tradition that we do with all of the Johnson family. The kids LOVE it! They get to load up on salt water taffy, enough to last us through Christmas! Next we went back to G’ma and G’pas house for …
Happy birthday to my first Young Woman!
Megan turned 12 today. This is a pretty special birthday for her because it means she gets to advance into Young Womens in our church and leave behind Primary (kids 3-11). She has always been mature for her age so this transition will be so good for her. I expect to see a lot of …
Soccer is no more…
We have six kids. Four of those six played soccer this season. That makes for one crazy season! (We actually had five back in the fall if you can believe it!). All the games are over as of yesterday. This will be Jacob’s last season. He has probably played a total of ten year in …
Kindergarten Graduation
Drew graduated from Kindergarten last week. Even though I have seen the program four previous times, I still love it just the same and somehow manage to shed a few tears each time.

Spring Choir Concert
Both Katelyn and Claire joined the Highland Children’s Choir this year. Katelyn has always loved singing. She easily picks up on pitches and tones and such. Claire likewise loves to sing. Since she was a very little girl, I would often find her humming or singing while she played. Due to the sibling discount the …
The Twelfth Night
One of the requirements for Megan’s sixth grade A.L.L. class was to perform a play. The assigned director, in the case Maile, was given a play to direct by the teacher and the assignment to give each classmate a role. The class director is then given the liberty of making changes to the play to …
Preschool Graduation
Ellie finished her first year of preschool at Bear Hollow this year. For the program, each student had to memorize a nursery rhyme and perform it for the class. Ellie was one of the mice in “Three Blind Mice.” I have to say she was one cutest mice I have ever seen! I was worried …
Claire’s Baptism
Claire was baptized on Saturday, May 3rd into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We always look forward to these important milestones in our children’s lives. Claire’s special day was nothing less than amazing. She had been counting down the days until she could finally be like her big brother and sisters. Claire …
