Claire turned nine on April 11. It was her turn for a friend party so we let her choose a handful of friends (this year it included boys). They all came over for “Minute to Win it” games, pizza and then a pajama party and a movie. It was a quite a wild bunch of …

Easter 2015
Another Easter has come and gone. We began our Easter celebration by attending an Easter event with one of my real estate friends. The kids were excited to see the Easter bunny (well, mostly excited to get more candy)! Following tradition our Easter bunny came on Saturday (the day before Easter) so we can spend …
Basketball 2015
We had four kids playing basketball this year. It was quite a crazy season for our family. Katelyn and Claire both played on the rec league from Cedar Hills. Katelyn generally played point guard. Her quick speed was killer. She could beat just about anyone down the court. It was a learning season for her …
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 …
Happy 7th Birthday Drew!
Our not-so little Drew turned 7 today. We let Drew pick one friend and go to Big Hero Six the weekend before his birthday. On his actual birthday we just went to dinner as a family. Drew chose Buffalo Wild Wings. He was so excited when they called him up and he got to sit …
New Year’s Eve Party 2014
New Year’s Eve is always spent partying it up at our home. We have a family party for all of Seth’s side of the family and we also invite his aunt and uncle and their kids as well (The Rowberry’s). Although we missed the Haymonds this year, we had a great time. It was filled …
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 …
Merry Christmas 2014
We had another wonderful Christmas this year. You never know how it will all unfold, but I think all of our family was pleased and mostly just enjoyed being together as a family. As usual, Christmas Eve began at G’ma & G’pa Johnson’s home. It is another tradition that my kids live for every year. …
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 …
