For the first time ever, I swallowed my pride and caved in to the pressure from my kiddos and dressed up as family of cows for some free food from Chick-fil-A. In the end, it was well worth it. We each got our own full meal which would have totaled near $50!! Aren’t we a …

Drew in his first season of t-ball
I always feel a little bad when I realize my youngest kids haven’t been experiencing some of the things my older kids did when they were that age. For instance, t-ball. It is one of those things that isn’t really a priority any more with our crazy, busy schedule. However, I succumbed to the “mommy …
Meggie Lu turns 11!
Miss Megan turned 11 this month. For her birthday she chose to have friends over for swimming, soccer, and tie-dye shirts. She had a great time. In the evening she wanted to do a cook-out in the canyon with our family. She is so easy to please. For her birthday she got a keyboard for …
Fourth of July 2013
Following tradition, we started our Fourth of July festivities on July 3rd at the Riverton parade with all of our extended family. The kids love it! They have such a great time seeing all the floats and catching loads and loads of candy. After the parade we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Johnson’s home …
We got ourselves a teenager here folks!
Thirteen years ago (on June 20, 2000 to be exact) our first baby joined our little family. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Now thirteen years later, I find myself feeling much of those same emotions. My baby is growing up. In but a few short years I will be attending …
American Fork Half Marathon 2013
June has come and with that brings the annual American Fork Half Marathon. I ran it last year and fell in love with everything about it…the purpose, the heartfelt messages along the trail, the organization and how well it was run, everything! For that reason, I decided then that I would give it another go …
Grandma Ria comes to visit.
As expected, we were able to have Grandma Ria come visit us again this June. Every year the whole family looks forward to her arrival with great anticipation. This year did not fail us. We had another fantastic visit. We kept very busy. We managed to make it up to South Fork campground for our …
Vegas Baby!
This Vegas trip had been in the works for quite some time. As difficult as it was to make it all come together and work for everyone, it was well worth it. Brian and Claire own a large home in Vegas that conveniently fit all of us. It was in a nice gated community with …
Playin’ a little soccer!
This year we decided to sign both Ellie and Drew up for a soccer team with all their little buddies (ages 3-5). Four of the eight players were three years old so it was interesting to say the least. Ben, a good friend of ours, generously offered to be the coach of these little rascals …
Preschool Graduation
We are closing another chapter in Drew’s life. He has completed preschool at Bear Hollow and will be heading to kindergarten in the fall. He has really enjoyed his time with Miss Molly and has grown so much in the last eight months. I can’t, however, pretend that he isn’t super excited to start school …
