Today is “Talk Like a Pirate” day at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I figured since Drew spends most of his days in his pirate costume, this would be perfect for him. He had to dress-up like a pirate and say something a pirate would say. Drew wasn’t a bit shy. He walked right up to the …

Silver Lake 2012
On Sunday we made our semi-annual trek to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon (see the 2010 and 2008 trips). It was a little early to see all the leaves changing but it was still beautiful as ever. We enjoyed a stroll around the lake, feeding the ducks and chasing the squirrels. After the walk …
Labor Day Weekend
This could have been the most jam-packed weekend in the Johnson family history. Our weekend consisted of a cousin campout, a day of boating, a baby blessing, playing at the swimming pool, and of course Labor Day wouldn’t be complete without an Argentine BBQ with some of our good friends! Friday night we had the …
No more sugar for you!
We recently went in for our sixth month dental check-up as a family. Most everyone was cavity-free, which is generally the case minus one filling here or there, but this was definitely not the case this time. Our dentist found EIGHT, yes I said EIGHT, cavities in Drew’s mouth. My initial reaction was “Are you …
Back-to-School
School started today. Jacob started his first year of Junior High (Yikes! Can you believe it?!) Megan started fifth grade with Miss Louw, Katelyn started third grade with Mrs. Roberts and Claire started first grade with Mrs. Jensen. Oh, how time flies?! I am gonna miss these kids! Jake the big seventh grader. All the …
Dare Mighty Things
This year our “back-to-school” theme is “Dare Mighty Things” (a part of a quote by Theodore Roosevelt). We thought it fit in perfectly with your “Mighty Johnsons” name. Our annual back to school bash went wonderfully and the kids had a blast! We started off early in the week voting for a favorite dinner. Personal …
Olympics are in the air!
Katelyn ended the summer with a fun gymnastics meet. She only participates at a recreational level but in hopes to get more girls to go competitive they put on a sample meet where the girls competed against themselves. Katelyn did great, but realized she doesn’t love competition. She got pretty nervous and uncomfortable. I tried …
My little seamstress!
Megan has been asking me for the last year or more to teach her how to sew. The only problem is, I don’t know how to sew. I have been watching for sewing classes for sometime now and finally found someone I felt was worth paying. I went ahead and signed her up at “Children …
Annual Johnson Family Campout
Once again the time had arrived for our Johnson Family Campout. We changed things up a little this year and moved to a new campsite (although still at Tanner’s Flat up Little Cottonwood Canyon) and invited along the Rowberrys and Bryan Cryer family to join us. Jake, Josh and Greg trying to start the fire …
Pioneer Day
This year for Pioneer Day we went with a group of our good friends to Jordanelle State Park. Seth, unfortunately, didn’t get the day off so I took all the kids and met the Francis’, the Browns, and the Denney’s at the park for a fun day in the sun. The Francis’ brought their boat. …
