Easter Morning

April 23, 2014 admin No Comments

We woke up and started searching for our Easter Baskets. It took a good hour to find all of them. That Easter Bunny did not go easy on us! After enjoying our baskets and discussing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ I snuck away to Jessica Walgrens mission homecoming talk. It was a great way to spend an hour of my morning.

I came home and got the kids ready for church and even had time to snap a few pictures.

And then at church the Chaos broke out. Millie cried like usual and Ray had a dirty diaper but Benji started feeling sick so I hurried and got the 4 of us out of there. Ben dropped us off at home and then headed back to church. Benji was sick so he and Millie and I stayed home from the Easter Dinner and Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa’s house that evening. He was super bummed. I was bummed but I can’t remember the last time Benji and I chilled like that just the 2 of us, so I liked that. I did get to watch “The ten Commandments” that evening. I have good memories watching that insanely long movie during Easter at my Grandma Robertson’s house.

and here are more pics of the cute kiddos:

Saturday

Soccer has started! Ben is coaching the boys teams again. Cali got a goal! They are all getting better… this is the first time the boys didn’t count how many times they touched the ball to motivate them 🙂 We celebrated Cali’s goal with Ice cream. We went to a lunch time Court of Honor for McKay. We did some chores around the house before Benji’s 4pm game. We ran some errands and the rest is a blurr – – I crashed early and next thing I knew the kids were waking me up to see if they could look for their Easter Baskets…

Oh Yeah – And we Dyed our Easter Eggs on Friday night:

back from spring break and my MOM was in town

April 23, 2014 admin No Comments

My mom came to visit! She has been making the rounds this last month… a night at Christy’s for Braden’s play. A couple of weeks at Tracie’s while John is away being trained for a new job. To Shannon’s Idaho family for her graduation. To Ryan’s house. To her parents in Orem. To my house. And she left here and went to Josh’s house for Easter. She gets to spend time with Michael and Kevin on a regular basis and she did spend time with the “home-less” (Joel, Brady and Sean) as well! If she disappears tomorrow my money is on Taiwan 🙂

We had an extended Johnson family get together at our place one of the nights. She gave Packer an early birthday present. We did get in a few games, Cali and Rose and Grammy got in the most games. Michael spent some time hanging out with us too. And we dug out a rare VHS of some of our younger years. The highlight is a wrestling match between Brady and Sean when mom chimes in from the kitchen in her beautiful night gown, “Boys, You’re wasting your morning.”

And Millie decided that she can sit up. She loves it.

St. George – Year 7

April 23, 2014 admin No Comments

We think we’ve been going to St. George during Spring Break for 7 years now! That’s before my little family even needed a spring break 🙂 Each year we stay at the same condo’s and hang out with Pete’s family, Matt’s family and Michelle’s family. It’s a great mix of family and fun in the sun. (except we missed last year for Joel’s wedding)

We had a super fun time. The weather was great and that made all the difference. Our kids were little fish. They swam and swam and would have swam more if we had let them 🙂

We also Ate a TON. Donuts and Mongolian. Custard and more custard. Burgers and Veyo Pie and Texas Road House…

We also found a fun park to spend the day on Saturday. It had a great play ground and a splash pad, tennis courts and wind to fly the kite. On Thursday we also went to a park and played soccer and threw the football and watched Amanda learn how to run again.

On our last day we went to the St. George Temple in the morning.

And that was Netty St. George 2014.
