Johnson Reunion- Andrew's Cabin

Hunter riding on the 4 wheelers while they were parked.

 Grandpa Steve took everyone white water rafting.

They also fished a lot (Donny got into fly fishing),
and we enjoyed a shoot-out at Jackson Hole
and dinner at Bar J Ranglers Chuckwagon.

IT'S A BOY!

Baby # 6 is a boy. 

We are debating which prophet or 

general authority to name him after.

McKay, Dallin, Elijah, Benson, Brigham, Heber, Hyrum...

Donny & Mollie were on a CES day trip

to the Salt Lake Cemetery. 

We took a picture by McKay's grave just in case.

Holland is great at Cheesers

Holland getting curlers Saturday night.  

(She didn't love laying on them so much)

Holland loves to sit in things and pose.

Anderson Reunion- At Our House

Uncle Scott took us all on airplane rides in his plane he built.

The kids loved it and only mom and dad got queezy.

Grandpa Bill came out to watch the airplane rides.

Packer had his 6th birthday during the reunion.

He got a bike from grandma and a potters wheel from us.

Sadie's 9th Birthday

Sadie celebrated Canada Day with our next door neighbors,

since they are Canadians too.  

Myriam and Sadie had a sticker on their face that said,

"Made in Canada."

We decided to focus birthday presents on developing talents.

Grandma and Grandpa bought Sadie a tennis racket and balls.

We borrowed a violin for her 

so she can be in the 4th grade orchestra next year.

We went to Lagoon on her birthday,

her aunt's stake Lagoon day happened to land on her birthday.

Grandma GG

Donny's 93 year old grandmother moved in with us in June.

She is a delight to have around.  

She loves to sit on our front and back porch-

She loves the Utah air.

Grandma loves the children.  

They call her "GG" since she is their great grandma.

She loves to sit by the piano and hear them practice.

Here she is kneeling down to calm Holland while
I am busy cooking dinner. 
(It was very difficult for her to get back up)

 When we are gone, she misses hearing the children.
She loves to listen to them play.

SPORTS that begin with S...

SOCCER

Sadie played soccer this spring for the first time.

(We made a family rule to be on team sports,

 they have to be 8 or pay for it yourself)  

Mollie coached her team for the first few weeks 

while the coach was in the middle of a family crisis.

SOFTBALL

Sadie and Myriam are on the same team.

They are both doing well- especially because mom practices with them a lot.

The games are fun to watch when you are cheering for 2 girls.

SWIMMING

Mollie has gotten obsessed with lap swimming since she has 

restrictions this pregnancy with running.  

Her friend has been going with her and giving her great pointers.

Mollie tries to teach the kids herself since she bought a pass to the pool.

The neighborhood has a ball floating down the canal through our backyards.
