For most of the summer, we’ve had a sweet little newborn to care for. It was a wonderful experience having Elijah in our home, and we were sad to see him go, but realize the best thing for him is to go back with his mom and dad. Elijah’s journey began back in May, when …

Back to School 2014
We played all day and then walked the red carpet all night long. Continuing with tradition, we had our annual back-to-school fashion show. The kids picked their three favorite outfits and strutted their stuff. After voting was complete and tallied, each kid had a new outfit chosen to wear the next morning. We also discussed …
A desk for a doll
Katelyn is quite creative. She has always been interested in any artistic project, but this is one that she did all on her own. On Saturday, Katelyn came in from the garage with a jigsaw and two 8x8x2 pieces of wood. She was wearing oversized gardening gloves and ski goggles. She asked me, “Dad, if …
Rappelling FHE
Tonight for FHE we went rappelling. Yep, you read that right. Our family went rappelling down a 50 foot cliff face with an overhang and a waterfall. It was awesome. We totally lucked in to the whole experience too. Yesterday, by happenstance we found out the Cryers invited the Rowberrys to come rappelling for a …
4th of July 2014
We began our Fourth of July festivities by attending the Riverton Parade. It is an annual tradition that we do with all of the Johnson family. The kids LOVE it! They get to load up on salt water taffy, enough to last us through Christmas! Next we went back to G’ma and G’pas house for …
Happy birthday to my first Young Woman!

A Rocky Mountain Vacation (Part 1)
Last week we went on a fun road trip with our next-door neighbors and good friends, the Francises. We had a fun trip with them back in January. We had so much fun together we decided to schedule a longer trip (4 days, 3 nights) for a summer getaway. We considered going camping, but ended …
Cheering on RSL
Have you ever been to a Real Salt Lake soccer match? We took our whole family (and Uncle Jesse too) last night and had a great time. The facility is great. There’s not a bad seat in the house, and the stadium is relatively easy to get to. The atmosphere was fun and mostly family-friendly. Real Salt …
Soccer is no more…
We have six kids. Four of those six played soccer this season. That makes for one crazy season! (We actually had five back in the fall if you can believe it!). All the games are over as of yesterday. This will be Jacob’s last season. He has probably played a total of ten year in …
