We had another fabulous Halloween with more candy than ever! The week began with the kids wanting to carve their pumpkins. I was cleaning a whole lot a gunk out of a whole lot of pumpkins. Then Megan and Katelyn began carving their own. Seth helped the little ones get their pumpkins carved to their …

Soccer is in Season
There is no other way to put it! Soccer was in full season around our house. We have several games every week. This year Drew, Megan and Jake are all playing. For the month of September and part of October we had at least three, sometimes more games a week. This year was Drew’s first …
Goblin Valley
Several months back, Seth took the scouts to Goblin Valley. After hearing about how much fun they had, I decided to plan a trip there for our family. It didn’t disappoint. We had amazing time together, away, just us, having fun. Friday morning the weather was looking pretty bad. By the time we got packed …
Pirate Day at Krispy Kreme!
Today is “Talk Like a Pirate” day at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I figured since Drew spends most of his days in his pirate costume, this would be perfect for him. He had to dress-up like a pirate and say something a pirate would say. Drew wasn’t a bit shy. He walked right up to the …
Silver Lake 2012
On Sunday we made our semi-annual trek to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon (see the 2010 and 2008 trips). It was a little early to see all the leaves changing but it was still beautiful as ever. We enjoyed a stroll around the lake, feeding the ducks and chasing the squirrels. After the walk …
Bear Hollow Preschool
Today was Drew’s first day at Bear Hollow Preschool. This has been a much anticipated day for him. He couldn’t have been more excited! Although I will miss having my little buddy around in the afternoons, I know he will love his time at school. Ellie, on the other hand, is really gonna miss him. …
Labor Day Weekend
This could have been the most jam-packed weekend in the Johnson family history. Our weekend consisted of a cousin campout, a day of boating, a baby blessing, playing at the swimming pool, and of course Labor Day wouldn’t be complete without an Argentine BBQ with some of our good friends! Friday night we had the …
No more sugar for you!
We recently went in for our sixth month dental check-up as a family. Most everyone was cavity-free, which is generally the case minus one filling here or there, but this was definitely not the case this time. Our dentist found EIGHT, yes I said EIGHT, cavities in Drew’s mouth. My initial reaction was “Are you …
Back-to-School
School started today. Jacob started his first year of Junior High (Yikes! Can you believe it?!) Megan started fifth grade with Miss Louw, Katelyn started third grade with Mrs. Roberts and Claire started first grade with Mrs. Jensen. Oh, how time flies?! I am gonna miss these kids! Jake the big seventh grader. All the …
Dare Mighty Things
This year our “back-to-school” theme is “Dare Mighty Things” (a part of a quote by Theodore Roosevelt). We thought it fit in perfectly with your “Mighty Johnsons” name. Our annual back to school bash went wonderfully and the kids had a blast! We started off early in the week voting for a favorite dinner. Personal …
