Pella's Pig: Part III

'' Well,'' said Pella,'' I was looking for my lost pig!'' Super pig looked around. '' What does your pig look like?'' Pella thought for a second, and then answered,'' She's black and pink and as round as a sausage, very cute and looks like you.'' Then super pig dropped down from the sky, saying,'' I am your piggggggggg!'' Then Pella ran to where her pig was laying, and took off his cape and mask. '' Oh pig, it is you,'' she cried. Then her pig stood up, oinked, and walked to the pig pen. 

       And that is the story of how Pella found out the true identities of pigs. So, if you have a pet pig, you have a superhero.

The End

Jasper's Birthday

This year for Jasper's birthday, he wanted to have a building party! We just moved, so we had a lot of boxes for building forts and playing games. We played one game where Mama hid candy in some of the boxes and we had to find it! I didn't get very much. There was also a game where the either the boys or the girls would make a wall of boxes and the other gender would throw little white boxes and try to knock it down! We played two rounds, so that everyone could try doing everything. Jasper wanted a cobbler for cake, and it was a really nice day so we ate outside. We also climbed trees. Joli and I had a climbing competition and climbed to the very top of our tallest climbing tree! It was the first of many birthdays in the new house and couldn't have been better!

Camp

This year in August, Eben and I went to Black Lake Bible Camp! It was so much fun, especially since our friends, the Schocks, went too! Eben slept in a wagon, and I got to sleep in a cabin!

It took a really long time for all of our siblings to say goodbye and later they baked and sent me cookies.

This is me with my counselor, Pacasa.

This is Eben, with his counselors, Jenga and Radagast outside of their wagon.

 In my cabin, we had three Graces, so we gave them nicknames. We had ''Speed Gracer'', Thing One and Bandana. This is me in my bed. I was the first one there, so  I got first pick.

This is Eben, in his nice,''warm'' wagon.

Camp was awesome! Every meal we had to line up and compete in silly contests, or answer questions to go get our food! Every day after breakfast, we also had ''cabin clean up''. I think it kind of just made our cabins and wagons ( and some tepees) look messy.  Along with that, every night, we had fireside, where we all sit around a big campfire and sing silly songs like '' I like Bananas'' and '' The Milk Song''. Then we read verses from the Bible and roasted marshmallows. I really enjoyed it. One night, after lights out at 10:00, all of the girl's cabins snuck out and had a silent midnight pool party! Another one of my favorite places was the camp store. Our assistant counselor, Gibson, worked there. I loved camp and hope we go back next year.

Dodie's Wedding

                                    Dodie, my aunt, just got married in June! It was so much fun.

This is Dodie and Unka Cheese.

 Opal and Pella were flower girls and I carried Tuff down the isle, because Dodie wanted him to be apart of it too.

                                    Also, Mama was a bridesmaid and Dada was a groomsman.

The boys were supposed to be ring bearers, but instead they carried a sign that said ''Here Comes the Bride''. 

                                                           Squish-bot carried the bible.
                                                                       

This is us getting lined up to go down the isle.

                                                  This is us with Nonnie, our grandma.

                                                                      Group photo.
         

Afterwards, the bride and all of the bridesmaids got hot and started dancing in the fountain! I joined them later.

         Dodie wanted a home-made wedding cake and she asked Eben & I to make it! This is them cutting the cake. We filled it with neon pink frosting!

After we walked down the isle, we all waited patiently through the service... eating skittles.

This is us with the bride and the groom.

And here is all of us. It's so hard to get everyone to look at the camera.

The entire wedding reception was dancing.

We sent them off on their honey moon with sparklers! Their wedding was super fun and I loved it!

My 10th Birthday

This year for my birthday I decided to have a hiking party! We took some friends up to Mt. Rainier, after making trail mix bags, and hiked to Spray Falls, where we all got soaking wet! For lunch we ate MREs that Dada had gathered up at work. Eben had beef stew, which was the best. Then we hiked down and took a detour across some rocks to see the water fall from a different angle. When we got to the bottom, we went swimming in a really shallow lake, we could go twenty feet out and the water would still be up to our waists! I was kind of glad, though, because I felt like I was swimming in ice! It was freezing, but it was worth it. I forgot to mention that I got a hedgehog from my cousin before we left! My birthday was really fun and I think my favorite birthday yet.

Holy Week- This Year

This year Holy week was different then most holy weeks in the Johnson house. Because this year we might be moving, we really did not get to do most of the things that we do other years. ( Mama usually makes a big deal of holy week.)
Take Passover for example. This year we were not going to do Passover, which really upset me. We usually prepare for Passover all day, and then have a two hour dinner sitting on the floor in the living room. Every body else hates it, but I think it's fun! Anyways, I decided to make passover for myself. We had just gotten lots of chicken, so Mama had to bag it all when there were not lots of kids running all around, in her case at seven in the morning, when she usually feeds Tuff. So Dada woke me up, and I bottle fed him, but by the time I was done I was fully awake and could not go back to bed. So it was then that I decided to make lunch Passover! It was make shift, such as the ham bone was a piece of rolled up turkey, but every one got their own cedar plate. I hard boiled eggs at seven thirty am..
Over all, I  think that this year holy week was really fun.

Opal's Birthday

This year Opal turned seven. Her birthday took place in California, because when each of us turn seven we get to go to an amusement park. Opal was the second of us to go to Disneyland for a birthday, but was the first to choose because when Eben and I went to Disneyland it was a surprise. While we were in California we stayed at Nonnie and Poppie's house, like we do every time. We also drove up like other times, though this time we had a newborn in the car, who I got to feed for the whole four days of driving from there and back. We got to go to Disney land on the third day of CA. We woke up at 7:00am, though Disneyland opened at 10:00. We were really lucky though, because we were second in line to get in. We also got a picture with Micky Mouse with no people in the background! Thankfully, Opal's birthday is February 5, so most of the lines took less that 5 minutes! The only real line we were in was space mountain, at night. And that was 10 minutes long. I think we went on space mountain at least 4 times! I think that Pirates of the Caribbean was my favorite ride. That one we went on three times! I think that it was very fun, and excitciting too!
