Johnston's first annual family campout

Baker City camp out!  Cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents are the best.  The kids were no where to be found most of the time... constantly on the run! We swam, painted rocks, shot bb guns and bows until someone reported us (lame), ate good food, fished a few times, and explored! And learned knew things about people.. for example/ Ang has a camel tattooed on her big toe. ha! 
ANNND Ty and I celebrated 11 years while we were there!!



















Bridger is 7

7 big ones! We started the day of with crepes of course.  Still his all time favorite food. This year he wanted to go to the fish hatchery with his friends.  Ty had to work so I took Bridger, Parx and b's 4 buddies fishing all by my lonesome.  It was an adventure and after I took 15 fish off the hook and bated the poles about 100 times we got to go home with a cooler full of fish.  We came back for some pizza, cake and ice cream and the boys played until they went to the waterpark!  Ended the day with a movie night and I'd say Bridger had a killer time.  He asked for a fly rod this year! Can't wait to get him out to the river to practice. 








Pretty sure we made this kids day stopping for some lemonade!

Tid bits about Bridger at this age: He'd lose his head if it wasn't attached to his body,  forgets to put his backpack on most mornings when he leaves for school, still loves to snuggle and be tucked in, loves to be read to at night, gives the biggest hugs if you can catch him,  loves sports and being outside playing, loves to fish, hike and camp, is finally embracing his curly hair and loves to find his "wave" in the front every morning, plays so cute with Preston, still has an imagination, works really hard in school, is competitive and is SO DANG CUTE!! Happy 7th B! LOVE YOU!


Girls camp

Young woman's is THE BEST!!!! I had so much fun going to girls camp all week this year.  Thanks mom/ky/ty for watching the wee ones while I played.  We stayed up waaaay to late every night and I think drove our neighboring campers crazy. oops! These girls are the best and the leaders are some of the greatest people I know!  My competitive juices were flowing as we competed for the Lady of the Lake trophy... and we won! 










artwork

The artwork the kids refused to let me throw away all last year. I took pictures and tossed these babies the other day.  Fingers crossed they don't notice.

Family pics... Thanksgiving 2017

We did family pics in Moses in the fall and then at Thanksgiving my mom and dad wanted to do them again so BONUS we got to do them twice.  
Is there anything more fun than family pics with 4 small kids? nope.
