One of the first things the boys did when we got to our new house, was climb the giant tree in the backyard. It makes me so happy to see them outside enjoying a bigger yard that isn't full of rocks and cactus!!!

Johnson Time

Had a fun evening at our new house with Grandma, Grandpa, Cody,  Richelle, Hayley, Xander, Brielle & Westin. Ryan was so excited to put the basketball hoop up. No HOA to tell us to take it down!

Our New Home

I don't have any pictures of us moving or our new house. But, when we moved in, there was a blooming rose bush near the front door!

Super Star

Eli was chosen as his classes' super star this week. One of the privledges he gets, is to bring home the class pet. They were asked to take pictures of activities with the pet. We didn't really do anything exciting that weekend, but Eli thought of some creative ideas nonetheless.

Eight is Great!

Our sweet little Eli is turning 8! He has been so anxious to turn 8 for soo long. The other day he said, "I can't wait until I turn 8.!" So, I asked him what he was most excited about... being baptized, cub scouts... His answer, "Well Caleb got to start wearing deodorant when he turned 8."
Love this kid. He has a sensitive soul and is easily able to perceive how those around him are feeling.

Football Party

Eli got his wish of a football themed birhtday party. It could not have been easier. We played a game of flag football, ate cake and ice cream, and opened presents.
