This weekend our family made a quick trip to St. George to visit my dad. Seth thought it would be a good idea for my dad and I to sneak out for a “daddy/daughter” date and go see Les Miserables at the Tuacahn Theatre in St. George. I have not been to very many musicals …

Just funny
I really have no explanation of what this photo is or even what it was about other than the girls were downstairs playing and then a little while later up the stairs sprang KK in this lovely attire. Gotta love childhood.
Only my little Claire
Claire has recently found great independence in dressing herself. She loves to go through her closet and her dresser to find things to wear. It is a little frustrating at times because right after I dress her I will come in her room and sure enough, all of her clothes will be off and she …
What could this be?
My kids were playing with one of my old cameras they found lying around in the toy box. I came into the living room and they were all staring at this strange archaic object (see below). Jacob looked up at me and said, “Mom, what is that?”. Isn’t it amazing that something that seems so …
Midway Getaway
Last week we enjoyed a “Mike and Jan Johnson” family reunion in Midway. It consisted of two days for “girls only” (with the exception of little Drew who joined us). We spent those days eating out, shopping in Park City, swimming in the pool at the condo and playing games. The boys then joined us …
First Day of School
Today was Jacob and Megan’s first day of school. Jacob is in 3rd grade now and Meg is in 1st grade. They were so excited for their first day back. They both neatly set out their clothes and woke up bright and early to shower and get ready. It is new for Megan to have …
Summer Fun
Summer is full of such craziness that I have found it difficult to write a post every time we do something fun or blog worthy. So I will instead include a few pictures of some fun things we have done recently. We are enjoying the flexibility of summer. It is nice to have our schedule …
Drew is gettin’ big!
Drew is just over six months now (actually almost seven months on Aug. 6). I figured I needed to give a photo update for Oma Ria again. He has become somewhat mobile in that he rolls all around the house. He loves to smile and show off his two front teeth. He is also starting …
Do my hair Mom!
I have three little girls and that makes getting ready for the day a bit of a chore. I never know what to do with their hair and I have to do something or else they look like orphans. The other day a good friend of mine recommended a blog she came upon. It is …
Man vs. Wild
The kids wanted to sleep outside the other night by themselves, and we let them. They were cold, but they “survived” all through the night. They wanted to be like “Bear Grylls” from Man vs. Wild. Seth and I were sure we would hear them sneaking in within an hour but we were wrong. They …
