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. We love the delicious food and great company. Every year the performance of the nativity gets better and better as the older kids are able to better help the …
Sharing Christmas 2015
We were happy when my parents gave us a similar Christmas gift as last year: a roll of $1 bills and a note telling us to spread some Christmas cheer. We absolutely love this tradition because it helps put all of in a “how can we help others?” mindset. So, this is what we did …
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. Plus, we made time to decorate cookies and even a gingerbread house. We do the same things every year during the holidays. We are funny that way. If I try to go …
Sledding for Manina’s Birthday
Having Manina’s birthday so near Christmas makes it a little difficult for gift-giving. So (and entirely to her credit) we usually take time to do an activity as a family for her birthday. This year, we decided to all go sledding. We all had a great time sledding and more importantly, no one got hurt. …

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. …
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 …
