Ah, Summer Time!
Saturdays are meant for "ladies lunch" at Becky's! Last Saturday the occasion was my cousin Joe and his family moving to Boise Idaho, it is all very familiar to us a year ago! The kids love to play together and there is always water involved, Elisabeth and Eliza thought Ellie was super cute cooling off with her ice cream, she had it everywhere! We all got many laughs watching Ellie and her cousin AnneMarie and their love/hate relationship! I'm glad I'm back close to my cousins and I'm glad they have always been part of my life!

Happy Pioneer Day!

Yesterday we got up real early to go to the Pioneer Day parade. The kids and I go every year with my parents and whoever else is willing to get there my about 7:30am. We used to go spend the night when I was a kid, I don't know how my Aunt Becky and Uncle Mark could stand our grumpy faces the next day! This year the kids had a good time with my cousins kids; Josh, Lacey, Roxanne, Shelby, Eric and Elly. The kids were really impressed by the super low fly over of an F-16 and always love the motorcycle officers. We were fortunate to have cooler weather, but no rain, and it made for great parade. We spent the rest of the day relaxing! And then dinner with daddy!

In other fun happenings, well at our house we think its BIG, our tickets to the Green Packers vs. San Diego Chargers game came Monday! "Sweet!" is what Jeremiah said! We will be traveling in September, stopping first for a visit to Chicago and the American Girl Store (Elisabeth is so excited) and then to Green Bay, Jeremiah calls it a pilgrimage to mecca to pray before the shrine of Lambeau Field!

A "Blog" Sounds Fun!?

After seeing my friend Jen's cute blog of her little boys I thought I would give it a try. So here it goes! For those who don't know the Johnson family's time in St. George was short, we spent the spring with Miah in Salt Lake and the rest of us finishing the school year there, thankfully now we are all together, yea! I have huge respect for mom's who send their husband away in the military, three months was long enough for us!
So now we are trying to make the best out of summer, but it is going fast, school starts one month from today! We've done Lagoon twice, the kids LOVE roller coasters, Elisabeth does "no hands" for everything! Last night we went to Cherry Hills, they also love anything involving water! There has also been fun summer movies, rodeo, 4th of July parade and fireworks and oh yea, did I mention we laid 2000 sq. feet of sod! (After we moved 2000 sq. feet of bark)
We are living in a little house in Murray, I think its cute, Miah is not commenting, but we are all happy and it suits are needs right now. We are still trying to sell our St. George house, we love it and wish we could just pick it up and move it, oh well, what a life lesson we have had!
