After just about ten years at Morinda, I am moving on. Today was my last day and I’m excited about what the future may hold. About a year ago, I made a list of priorities in things that I would look for in a new job. Morinda treated me well, so I was going to …

Skydiving
Yep. I jumped out of an airplane. And I lived to tell the tale. But, before you go thinking I’m some thrill-seeking adrenaline-junkie daredevil, let me tell you that I followed my 60-year-old mom and my 86-year-old grandpa! They’re the crazy ones. You see, my mom has always wanted to go skydiving. It’s been on …
Be like Siri and vote for Megan
Megan decided to run for student council this year. She has been reluctant to follow in Jake’s footsteps, those being some pretty big shoes to fill (Jake ran in 8th grade, and was the student body president this year). But, I think she also saw the amount of fun student council should be. So, this …
Red Cliffs Hike in St. George
The Red Cliffs hike was our favorite quick activity from our President’s Day getaway to St. George. We will definitely do this one again. But, next time hopefully it will be a little warmer (the canyon you hike up has a lot of shade) and we will all be wearing swimming suits (the natural pools …
Cute and Crafty Valentines
I am horrible at Valentine’s day. Just ask my wife. I disagree with the whole premise (one day to show love to a person? — that’s just dumb) and think it has become too commercialized. So, I have tried to avoid it at all costs. But, I live in household where the girls outnumber the …
Drew’s Two Truths and a Lie
It was Drew’s turn to play the “Two Truths and a Lie” game. He may have misunderstood the rules a little bit. Here is what he said, I’ve been to the top of the moon. I’ve played soccer. I’ve been to Santa’s workshop. This all started when we signed up for a church activity. The plan was to have …
2014 Year in Review
I skipped a “year-in-review” post in 2013, and all of our readers (hi, mom!) were up in arms. So, here is a look back at some of the fun moments with the Mighty Johnsons in 2014. We have quite the collection of these from previous years as well: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, but I’m going to break …
Sharing the Gift of Christmas
My mom and dad are good at giving gifts. Lately, they have given us tickets to a cool cultural event. Two years ago we went to see Les Misérables (which was great), and last year we all went to a Mannheim Steamroller concert (not one of their better choices) together. However, this year, they were …
Ski Family
The Mighty Johnson clan is slowly becoming a ski family. We live in Utah, with the “Greatest Snow on Earth” and world-class resorts and ski runs within an hour drive. The main thing holding us back is that skiing is quite expensive. But, we’ve found some ways to enjoy the snow without spending a small …
2014 Christmas Card
Confession: we didn’t do Christmas cards last year. But did anyone notice? Did anyone miss hearing from us? I’m not sure… Manina loves getting an actual card in the mail and puts all of them up on the inside of our front door. So, she insisted we do one this year after skipping out on 2013. …
