The Craziness is Over!

Oh, I've been such a BAD blogger!! The older the kids get, the busier the end of May and beginning of June get. Not to mention my parents' 50th anniversary was on the 12th of June! I'll just give you a quick run down of our activities the last couple of weeks.


Abby had her dance recital at Kingsbury Hall and did a fabulous job! We are so proud of our little dancer.


Jake and his baseball team played in the championship game for their pony league. They were undefeated all through the series until they played the only undefeated team during the season. They played a great game and won second place. Congrats, Jake!


Sophie got her first real haircut. I've cut it several times since she's been a baby, but now that it's getting longer she needed a real cut! Thanks, Julie--it's darling!


Then came the last day of school. Abby and Jake have loved their teacher, Mrs. Fackler. They'll miss her a ton!


Also on the last day of school there was an assembly to present kids (mostly 6th graders) with awards. Each class awards 2 students a citizenship award for the year, and these two cuties earned it. We are so proud of them for all their hard work! Their teacher was so complimentary on how they are not only good friends to others, but also to each other! Congrats Jake and Abby! Love you!


In the midst of all the craziness, my daughters found time to cook the family some scrambled eggs for dinner! Thanks, girls!


My brother Greg, brother Brent, sister Christine, and me.

Then came the festivities for my parents. We had a family bbq the night before with games, a campfire since it was so dang cold, and homemade ice cream. The next day we went to the Blue Boar Inn in Midway for a big luncheon. My brother from Denver and sister from California came in so we were all together for the first time in a long time. We got together that night for family pictures thanks to some good friends in the ward who should be photographers (thanks Chad and Kim!!)


Matching dresses for the family pics. In the middle of all the "to do" I was sewing dresses for me and the girls. I should have thought twice about making the dresses since I was already strapped for time, but they turned out darling!

I'll have more family pics in a few days.

Whew! So that's it! I've finally been able to breathe and even take a nap here and there!

I am so impressed with all your kids. I can't believe how grown up they look! I also love the dresses, can you teach me how to be a seemstress like you one day? I want to be just like you when I grow up!!

Those dresses are SO cute! You're such a little sewer these days. One day I need to learn. And, I love that Jake and Abby won the citizenship award. What little cuties. You've seriously been busy - but such fun things. Love all those Johnson kiddos. Hopefully we'll see you at the pool if it ever stops raining!!

Congratulations to Jake and Abby!!! How come you didn't wear your cute dress to match Abby and Sophies at the dinner party?

Yeah for making it through the past few weeks! Crazy times! Yeah to Jake and Abby for their citizenship awards! But we knew they were great already.

Why don't you get off your lazy butt and do something with yourself. Geez.

I love that you called me out on the plant in my bathroom! LOL! It actually fell off our dresser and it's been in bad shape ever since (maybe because I've never tried to help it?). You kill me.

And what is this with all your sewing skills? I'm legitimately impressed. Maybe you should do a sewing class for the rest of us?

Cute, cute. Love your little fam.

Where do I begin?! What an adorable family and awesome mom! Your kids are acheiving in all the ways we want our kids to be. I love how they are such good friends. It was fun to see a picture of you and your siblings, what a wonderful celebration. I LOVE the dresses you made-darling darling. Where is the one you made for yourself? You are so talented Annie.
