Final Summer Fling
The end of August, Ryan took the 3 oldest kids (along with the other four legged kids) on a backpacking trip into the White Clouds. They had a great time, and came back good and dirty...with their own inside jokes and stories to tell and laugh about...a great way to spend time together with dad.

August
The highlight of August was our trip up to Pullman! It was fun to see my sis Julie married off and go to her reception. We were also able to see Angela freshly home from her temple square mission!
I wasn't very good about getting many pictures, but here are a few:
Spencer always looks forward to the motorcycle at grandmas! It is just his size.
This time there were more than just motorcycles to ride...the kids took turns on the horses, too.
Porter having fun with Uncle Darren
Fun with cousins at Sunnyside park...what are they doing?? There was a turtle in the pond, and they were trying to catch it. They were trying to wait quietly until it got close enough to the shore...
Dallin turned 3 this month! Lindsey made him a fire engine cake. She did all of it herself- including making, baking, and decorating! Dallin was very excited since he is into anything with wheels!!
This is what happens when Lindsey invites a friend over and they get their hands on the camera! Poor little Ridgelina. This was only one of many pictures from the photo shoot Lindsey took.
Last but not least, Spencer was asked to perform with a group at a concert one night. He was nervous, but did a great job! This song is called Swallowtail Jig.

July
July has been a busy happy month!
We started off to a patriotic start with the kids performing in the Celebration of Liberty Children's Choir. They practiced hard, learned some new songs, and had fun!
Happy Birthday Lindsey! Can't believe she is 11. She just passed off level 6 in swimming lessons. She has found this is one of her favorite activities.
Canoeing on the snake river with dad.
Lindsey got a hold of the camera and the baby. This was one of many poses she did of little Ridgeletta
Happy Birthday Spencer....a teenager now!! He just passed level 6 in swimming too...he is off to scout camp this next week!
This past week we had fun camping in Teton National park with Ryan's parents and brother Andrew and family. Despite the mosquitoes and lack of sleep, I think we all had a great time!
String lake fun
Ridge gets good and dirty
Busy at work
Dallin and Grandpa splashing
Beautiful Teton Mountains

A Tribute to Jackson...In Loving Memory
Thursday was a sad day for our family. We lost the best dog in the world. There was something special about Jackson. He had a cheerful happy personality, and loved to be with us and go wherever we went. He loved the mountains and running carefree along the trails with us. He loved to play ball, catch frisbees, explore the fields with the kids, catch mice, follow us on bike rides.....He was the perfect companion for the family.
Spencer was especially attached to him, and has felt alot of emptiness in his heart ! Spencer and Jackson were special buddies, and spent many long afternoons together exploring and playing in the canal. Jackson was doing what he loved best when he died. Spencer had taken him along on one of his explorations, complete with net, b.b. gun, axe, and walking stick. Jackson was hit by a car and died a few minutes later in Spencer's lap. I will spare you the details or you may sit here crying for too long, but I can say we will certainly miss this fun loving member of our family!
Merry Christmas!!
Learning early on the ways of a Johnson
Always eager to play fetch
The first time we put a pack on him
He loved hiking with us and being in the mountains
Avid followers of our blog will remember Jackson's dog sled racing...this was in February of 2009
February of 2010 Jackson won first place in the Mutt Race at the dog derby in Ashton! (The race was run at least 100 times, and our doggy had the fastest time out of them all!)
We will miss you Jackson!!

Happenings of Late
We've had visitors!!
Ridge has two cousins his age. Here we have Derek and Aubree's sweet Keaton. He and Ridge are about 2 1/2 months apart.
This is Ridge and Maegan and Aaron's darling Violet! They came for Porter's baptism which was June 5th. I didn't get any pictures but these of the baby cousins...however, we had a special time with the baptism and having family here.
We have a new baby goat!! We named him Lightning. If you look close, he has a "bolt" on his rump, and also a black one on each cheek. He is so sweet! We took him on a training hike, and he did great!
This lake was only 1.3 miles in. We had lots o fun.
Getting Lightening used to the water
Summer is here!! Porter thought he was so cool to design his own water slide.
And last but not least, we had a very HAPPY FATHERS DAY with our very wonderful DADDY!
