For my birthday, my sweet husband bought me a ticket to go visit one of my besties, Kristy, in San Diego. When they moved from Utah a while back we promised to visit each other often, but that proves to be difficult at times with the craziness of both of our lives. Thankfully Seth bought …

Our Cute Cub Scout
With every 8th birthday for boys in our house, comes the excitement of joining Cub Scouts. Drew was no different. He couldn’t wait for this 8th birthday and to attend his first den meeting. He got a nice new scout shirt, neckerchief, slide and Wolf book. He started reading his book before he even got …
Drew is Eight!
Our little Drew Buddy has turned eight! He wanted more than anything to have a few of his buddies over to celebrate. Although my energy level is less than stellar a week or two after Christmas, I conceded and allowed him to have six of his buddies come with us to the Museum of Curiosity. …
Christmas 2015
We had another wonderful Christmas season. We had our annual Christmas Eve festivities with Grandpa and Grandma Johnson and all of Seth’s siblings and their children.

Holiday Festivities 2015
December always brings lots of fun performances and activities. This December didn’t let us down. We had several performances and events to attend.

G’ma Gary and G’ma Kathy come to Visit
It has been long coming and after a few reschedules along the way, we finally were able to have my dad and his wife up for a visit. The kids were SO excited. I don’t see my family very often so it is always a special treat when they come see us. This visit didn’t …
Miss Katelyn turns Twelve
I am not sure why but when my kiddos turn twelve, it feels monumental. They are finishing up six grade, going to junior high. They leave their younger church class and go with the young men/young women. It is also the age my girls are allowed to wear make-up. It just signifies change I guess. …
Halloween 2015
This year Halloween was especially busy. We attended three family parties, one couple’s party and several school functions along the way. We definitely got our money’s worth out of our costumes. Ellie insisted on being an Indian princess this year. I ordered her a cute costume but when it arrived it was really large. So …
