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 …

Holiday Festivities
‘Tis the season of festivities. With the holiday season comes every concert and activity imaginable. We attended choir concerts, band concerts, school programs, and more. We also decorated sugar cookies, a gingerbread house, and visited Temple Square and the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We also attempted to go to the local nativity and walk around …
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. …
Ellie’s 5th Birthday!
Man, where does the time go? My baby turned 5 today. Can you believe it?! I can’t. Ellie had preschool on her birthday so I got to go in and help in class. We sang to her and displayed her life through pictures on the wall. After preschool, she had an appointment to go see …
Happy 11th Birthday Katelyn!
It wasn’t Katelyn’s turn for a friend party this year so I downplayed it and just told her we would have cake and ice-cream in the evening. Little did she know, I had planned on checking her out and taking her to lunch and then to “Color Me Mine”. She has been dying to go …
Happy Halloween 2014
Happy Halloween from the Johnson Family. We all managed to dress up this year for various activities. Jake is the Student Body President and was required to dress-up but not sure he would have otherwise. Megan and her besties made their costumes from scratch. They were excited to use a play on words and be …
Jacob’s Eagle Court of Honor
After many years of hard work, late nights, projects, camp outs, long hours, Jacob has finally achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. This is nothing short of a major accomplishment. The beginning stages began when he turned eleven and went into “Eleven Year Old” scouts. He quickly jumped head first into completing the more difficult …
Next stop…Alaska
After Ellie and I returned from Cali, we decided we had so much fun that we would try again but this time head to Alaska to see my mom. Not really. I had been wanting to head up there for quite some time, but wasn’t sure how to pull it off without spending a fortune …
Stewart Falls Hike
I took the kids on a hike to Stewart Falls right after school last Thursday. We did it partly to enjoy the beautiful weather, and partly to celebrate the fact that we survived a couple weeks together without Manina and Ellie. We had a lot of fun together while Mom was away, and this was …
While Mom is away
Manina has been traveling a lot recently. She and Ellie have been away for basically two of the last three weeks. She went to San Diego for a few days, then went to Alaska to visit her mom and other family. We miss them terribly, but we keep ourselves busy by doing silly things that …
