Keeping up with the Johnsons: 2013

Gingerbread Smash

We completed the Annual Gingerbread Smash.

Funny story about this dish rack - At the store James was distracting Olivia by saying he liked it. She convinced me to go back and buy it. Funny part he was only distracting her, not indicating he wanted it. Too bad - you own it now.

Christmas selfie

Mom's new blanket that everyone made for me.

Plus Cami stayed the night.

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with the Johnsons (minus James:( - he was at work)

My Olivia cried all night long for her Dad.

Blue Belt

Cyan becomes a blue belt.

Broadmoor

We went to the Broadmoor to see the decorations.

Cliff Dwellings

The Johnson 4 visited the Cliff Dwellings. Here are two of their butts - ha ha.

Johnson 4 Turkey Trot

The Johnson 4 completed their own 5k on Thanksgiving.

Grappling

Cyan participated in a grappling competition in Denver. She came in third. We are so proud of how brave she is.

Anne Hutchinson

Cyan had a "People Museum" at school and had to dress as Anne Hutchinson. She crafted this costume herself using the sewing machine.

Halloween

This year Olivia dressed as a witch and Cyan as herself (her karate gi). Even Roscoe got in the action with a pink tutu.

(You always have to force Cyan to smile)

Estes Park

We went to Mark and Tiffany Gossett's wedding in Estes Park. The next day we drove into Rocky Mountain National Park and saw these elk, even heard them bugle.

Balloon Lift Off

Some pics of my girls at the Balloon Lift of on Labor Day.

High Purple

Cyan tested for high purple and passed.

End of Summer Blast

Our Annual End of Summer Blast included a trip to Elitches this year. Our little girls rode every ride and roller coaster there, including the water park. James and I were ready to hurl after the third ride!

My Cyan is on there.

They even talked James into doing the XLR8R ( a giant swing)

Champions South Tournament

Cyan participated in a tournament at the south Champions. She won first place in sparring and grappling. She was very happy and wore those medals all weekend. We couldn't have been more proud of her.
