Star Talk Camp

Sophie and Glen after their performance for their Portuguese Immersion.  Sophie starts first grade in 2 weeks and will be doing the immersion program Claire is in.  She is so excited. 

My tough girls

The kids have been doing the kids fitness class at our crossfit gym this summer and they love it.  Claire made it to the top of the rope already and has done a pull-up.  I LOVE IT!

Sophie watched a lot of the crossfit games with me so when I told her to get ready for crossfit she put this on.  Silly girl - that's a swim suit top and you aren't allowed to wear it (she has it for the bottoms to go with her rash gaurd tops).  She looks like she means business though!

I love the confidence that crossfit is giving my girls.  Sophie always says stuff like "mom, I gotta get strong and buff"  That's my girl!

A great gift

Today Traci met me for lunch at Nu Skin and brought me this awesome gift.  She really loves me :)

Eric and Cody

Elder Eric Schultz and Elder Cody Schultz both report to the Provo MTC on July 23rd.  I can't believe these 2 are headed into the MTC on the same day.  I can't believe how much I am going to miss these guys.  I can't believe they were surprised when I cried as I hugged them goodbye and told them I loved them. 

I know they will both be amazing missionaries and I am so grateful for their examples to my kids.  Two years will go by fast!!

Cleaning Sophie's Room

When I was picking up Sophie's room I found a black sharpie and Todd's debit card!!  I also found a check from Christine the other day.  CRAZY GIRL!

New Wardrobe

Today Sophie informed me that now that she is 6 all of her old clothes are ugly and only for 5 year olds.  She refused to put on any clothes today and walked around in undies and her blanket.  I love this crazy girl so much - every day she does something unexpected that just cracks me up!

Life without wifi

Todd is out of town and our wifi router breaks....what do we do now? Esepcially since I am bed ridden all week and it's 100 degrees outside and too hot to go to the park?  Well things got crazy at the Johnson house.  Sure the kids played lots of board games, but that didn't take enough time.  We couldn't watch movies, or play on the computers or devices.  It was an unplanned unplugged week for us.  

Sophie came up with a blindfolded makeup challenge.  She and Claire took turns being blindfolded and putting makeup on the other one.  They were laughing so hard and cracking me up.  Sophie is always full of crazy ideas.

 

Happy Birthday Sophie!

My baby is 6!  She is growing up so fast and loves not being a baby anymore.  The poor girl had to celebrate her birthday with a mom who couldn't get out of bed so it was fairly low key.  My mom came over in the morning and made birthday pancakes for her.  Then we had family over for a bbq dinner, cake and presents.  Lucky for Sophie Emily was in town with her kids so she got to celebrate her birthday with Ella.  Timmy and Megan bought the girls matching dresses and that was by far her favorite present.

4 days later and she is still rocking her b-day dress....

 

Sidewalk of Fire - 10 years

Our neighborhood puts on the best block party ever for the 4th of July - Sidewalk of Fire.  We do carnival games, food eating contests, deserts, and a seriously awesome firework show.  I got to run the bean bag toss game for a couple of hours while the kids played on the street and got their faces painted. Then we kicked it on blankets and enjoyed the show.
