Sunday afternoon after naps Seth got this idea that we should drive up AF Canyon and have a little cookout by Silver Lake Flat reservoir. Everyone was excited so we packed up real quick and headed out. Seth conveniently forgot to tell me we would be 4×4’ing up the mountain on a dirt road with …

Cowabunga Bay
We went to Cowabunga Bay yesterday with Rachel, Spencer and their kids to celebrate Lucy’s birthday. It is certainly not a cheap little adventure, but the kids sure had a great time. We got there just before 11:00 am and didn’t leave until dinner time. There weren’t a ton of slides, but they were all …
Chocolate mustaches
As we were enjoying some chocolate-covered treats, one of the girls got some chocolate around her mouth. Megan and Katelyn were already a bit silly and hyper, and so this was hilarious. Then, they start to smear chocolate all over their faces. Then one of them says, “Hey, you look like a boy.” Then one …
OCD
Drew is already showing symptoms of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). He hates having anything sticky on his face, hands, feet or clothes. He won’t eat a cookie unless it is the whole cookie, not a half of a cookie. I remember not to long ago trying to give him half of a piece of my …
Consumer Inquiry
Dear Costco, Why ever would you quit selling our favorite family treat? We LOVE edamame and feel somewhat lost without it. Please reconsider and bring it back to your store. We would be forever grateful. Yours truly, Seth Johnson Family P.S. Does anyone else know who might sell these delicious treats in bulk like Costco …
I love being a Mom
No, this post is not going to be about how wonderful my kids are, nor how wonderful of a mom I am. I am not going to talk about how my house is always clean and how my kids always obey. Indeed I have many overwhelming days. Yep, I have days where I go into …
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July! This holiday makes me so emotional…all the patriotic songs, men in uniform, family time, and sweet moments to ponder our freedoms and the great nation we live in. We spend nearly every fourth attending the Riverton Days parade with all the cousins. Aftewards we go back to G’ma and G’pa Jan’s …
Happy 8th Birthday Megs!
Megan turns 8 today. It truly amazes me how quickly time passes by. I often find myself wishing I could slow time down a little and keep the kids young longer. Since that isn’t an option, I am trying my best to spend as much time with them as possible. Megan’s birthday happens to fall …
Swim time!
Summer time brings swim lessons. Both Katelyn and Claire took lessons from a friend in our old neighborhood. Claire’s favorite words were “Teacher, I can’t. I need help.” I finally told her she wasn’t allowed to say it anymore. By the last day of lessons they both were doing great. It wouldn’t hurt them to …
Another fall, another set of stitches
Poor Drew can’t keep himself away from the doctor. On Father’s day he fell on our fireplace and cut his forehead on the rocks. It left him with six stitches and a cute Shrek band-aid. Maybe if those nurses didn’t give him so many treats when he came in, he might try a little harder …
