Aunts

This is at Sophie's baby shower. My girls love their aunt Sophie. I'm sure they will adore and love her baby girl just as she has loved them!


Aunt Sophie and Robyn have great talents for decorating Holland.


Aunt Haley prepared an awesome FHE lesson at snowbird about fighting in God's army. She even had an army lady come paint their faces and Haley played Spirit says - like Simon says. (Andrew played the role of Satan says)

Aunt Kimala and Aunt Lizzie really help me out with Hunter by giving him one-on-one time and love that he really needs.

Packer's 5th Birthday

Packer loves swimming in Aunt LuAnn's Pool. He and Maz are getting very brave in the water.


He requested homemade rootbeer and a pinata. (We re-used parade candy)

Grandma bought him his own pool for home. This is the cleanest the water will ever be!

Reunion Week 2

We hiked Timpanogas Caves and carried Hunter and Holland most of the time.



We went to the Oquir Temple Open House, then to Kennicot Coppermine.

Yellow Stone

Times like these when cousins become friends!

The Waterfalls were awesome!


Hot water spots.

Old Faithful

Anderson Family Reunion

These girls went nuts over Holland. Someone was always taking care of her for me. The first night, she had 5 girls giving her a bath!

The Andersons had a great reunion this summer. We started at our home, then went to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Then we ended up spending a lot of time at Mike's the next week. The only way I know how to feed is bread, so I spent a lot of time baking before I was hosting.

Sadie's 8th Birthday

Sadie was baptized and confirmed by her dad. She is a very great example since she is the oldest of our children and the Johnson grandchildren. She prepared herself well. She even read the entire book of mormon this year.

We went on a bus ride with some neighbors to McDonald's for breakfast the morning of Sadie's birthday.

Sadie asked grandma to give her a beautiful room for her birthday. She definitely got the benefits of grandma's talents for decorating and generously giving!
