Soccer, Lacrosse & Football

The boys went with their cousins to their first Real Soccer game. We were just happy we didn't have to take them!

Sam finished up his fall lacrosse season. They were a fun team to watch with great coaches. Fun to see Sam progress

Bruzin Marcus is on the BYU lacrosse team so we've had a lot of fun going to his games. College lacrosse is really fun to watch.

The Jorgenson's invited Toby and Sam to the U football game on the 5th row!! They loved it, except for the actual game that was terrible and they lost.

This is how Sam felt about the score

 

Lakehouse

Labor Day = Lakehouse for the Johnsons. Everyone looks forward to it. It's all sorts of fun with lake time, pickleball tournament, tons of food and lip syncs from every family. I didn't get to go to much this year because I was back home trying to make our house liveable again after most of the construction was done.

Our lip sync this year was Teenie Weenie Beanie. It was great.

If you look close you'll find 4 boys sleeping in there.

This was new for me: pumpkin pie on Labor Day! Not sure if I liked it

I hate electronics

The Johnson Fam - we're only missing the missionaries (Megan & Camryn)

Sam and a cool lightening storm

I was cleaning this.

 

PLL & School

Max is 10th grade - High School!

School started really early this year. August 15th. Yeah it was crazy. That same day the Balls came into town to take older kids to college and go the PLL game. The boys were all very happy to be together again.

Sam is in 8th grade

The day before school started the YM went to the Johnsons so Toby could show them how to slip n slide. They didn't need the hose because there was a huge rainstorm.

They all had a great time, got lots of signatures and saw good games.

We still managed to feed them in our makeshift kitchen

And then on Sunday before the Balls left, we met together as a family to hear about Marcus's mission.

 

Megan is 20!!

Megan is 20! I no longer have 3 teenagers. I congratulate myself for surviving that. It was super weird having Megan's birthday while she's gone and I couldn't talk to her. I was hoping someone would make her feel special and her companion and people from her ward did a great job. Even though Megan is way too much like her mother and hates all the attention on her birthday. It's good for her.

And here's some pics of Megan through the years. I'm trying not to cry!

 

Not much to show for July

 It's depressing but we don't have much to show for July because of this picture. We're in the middle of remodeling our kitchen. It's just as bad as I thought it would be but it deserves it's own post so you'll have to wait until its done! We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

She looks so beautiful and grown up!

In other news, Sister Johnson and Sister Davie are thriving and loving every minute together. It makes me happy to see them so happy!

Helping out in the primary

Mel & Alicia have both seen Megan and like to rub my face in it!

We're grateful for cousins who have been entertaining our boys during the construction

Max had a week of bliss at FSY

Wardies at the ward party

The boys enjoyed no furniture with their remote control cars

Max & friends went water skiing

Sam built a bike jump

Went to the hottest rodeo ever in the history of ever

Festival Days!

Max was in it with the youth council
