As we were enjoying some chocolate-covered treats, one of the girls got some chocolate around her mouth. Megan and Katelyn were already a bit silly and hyper, and so this was hilarious. Then, they start to smear chocolate all over their faces. Then one of them says, “Hey, you look like a boy.” Then one …

Hacked
I’m not sure what the purpose was, but someone hacked our site. If you’ve been visiting recently and had a stupid malware page pop up saying you’ve got sixteen viruses, you’ve seen it. My apologies, and I hope you weren’t silly enough to fall for that old trick. I hope I have it fixed now, …
A simple leaky faucet
One of the problems with our home is that it’s ten years old now. Things are starting to require some maintenance. Now I’m no handyman but I’m no completely hopeless, so when Manina mentioned the tub faucet leak has been getting worse, I thought I’d take a crack at it. I pulled the hardware off …
Bunk bed mystery
It was 4AM and Claire stumbled into our room. “Drew jumped on my head and woke me up,” she said. We really weren’t sure what happened, so we helped Claire back to her room. Sure enough, Drew was fast asleep laying sideways across Claire’s pillow. Manina lifted him into the crib, and he didn’t even …
Skiiing at Deer Valley
My brother Matt and I went skiing at Deer Valley today and had a great time. Even though we’re extremely crappy skiers, we managed to enjoy ourselves. One of the main reasons was that the whole day was free! I got lift tickets from work, and both of us were able to borrow gear from …

Tweed jackets and leather elbow patches
My co-workers have started calling me “The Professor” in an effort to tease me about my new part-time job. One co-worker even laughed when he found out why I was carrying a stack of books into work. However, I don’t mind the ribbing, because I’m having a great time. I’m now an Adjunct IT Instructor …
Farewell 2009
Happy New Year, everyone! MightyJohnsons.com is now officially two years old, and we’ve documented some great (and some not so great) moments. As we did last year, we now look back at our favorite articles of the year. January 2009: nothing is better than coming in from the cold to have some super soup. February …
Christmas Memories
Every Monday night we have family night. Sometimes we play games, sometimes we watch a show and have popcorn, sometimes we have a lesson, whatever strikes our fancy. Recently we had a family night where we talked about Christmas. We read a few Christmas stories. We sang some carols accompanied by Jacob on his guitar. …
Welcome to the family, Ellie
Dear Ellie, Today was a pretty special day. Your mom and I are very excited to have you in our family. Because you won’t remember much of what happened today, let me tell you a little bit about your first day with us. Manina was more than a little nervous when we showed up to …
