Drew went into scouts back in January. He absolutely loves scouts. He is always asking what he can work on to earn his next achievement. He is a bit of an overachiever. Well thanks to his leader, Marnie Jones, and Drew’s determination, he earned his wolf badge this week. He was pretty excited to have …

Young Women’s 5K Chalk Run
This is our second annual Young Women’s color run. They have chalk stations all along the way, each color representing the values in the young woman program in our church. As you get to the station they throw chalk. None of my girls trained for the 5K so there was a lot of walking and …
Drew’s Baptism
Drew was baptized on February 6, 2016 at 10:30 am. He made the decision to be baptized a few months before and had been reading all about this ordinance and purpose behind it. He was excited and ready for his special day. (Thanks to my friend Hannah Stayner for snapping these photos for me.) Unfortunately …
Ponderize iPhone Lock Screens
Like a lot of other folks, our family really liked Devin Durrant’s talk at the October 2015 LDS General Conference. Even though we liked the idea, we still stumbled a few times trying to put his advice into practice. We tried starting a group chat, and everyone coming up with their own scripture. But that …
Scoutmaster Emeritus
On a Saturday morning a few weeks ago, I drove the scouts down to the airport so they could work on their Aviation merit badge. The boys each took a solo flight in a small Cessna 150m, even taking the controls for a few minutes. By all accounts, it was a great experience for each …
Moyle Park
We went to Moyle Park last year near Pioneer Day and loved it so much that we decided to go back this year as well. All my kids, including my very oldest, love experiencing, in a very mild version, of some of the things the pioneers did many, many years ago. Plus, I think my …
Value Chalk Run
Our stake hosted a “Value 5K Chalk Run” for all the young women in our stake. Each pit stop had water and a different color of chalk representing a different value (There are a total of eight values). I thought it was a really neat idea so I signed us up. They allowed all girls …
Jesse and Mikaela’s Wedding
My brother Jesse is a great guy, and always has been. Yesterday, he was married to his sweetheart Mikaela in the Draper Utah LDS Temple. It was a wonderful celebration. The Johnson and Milne families all gathered on Thursday, May 14th at Brick Oven in South Jordan to have a pre-wedding dinner. Gatherings with all …
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 …
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 …
