Happy Boys

Thankfully, we celebrated the 100th day of school recently because my boys are ready for the freedom of summer. Sam is working on a big ancestor report on Heber J Grant. We have had an awesome time researching his amazing life, but is anyone else tired of homework. We have had some great ski days, but now I find myself dreaming about water skiing on a scorching hot day. Whoever is praying for moisture, I think you can stop. In the meantime we will keep shovelling and building snow forts.

I am so excited to have Olivia potty trained! This is the first time in 10 years I have not been changing diapers! Unfortuately pull-ups are not factored in this statistic, give me another few years for my deep sleepers. The only drawback is when Livvy needs to go, it is now! I have been seen leaving my cart in the middle of the store, picking Olivia up like a football and sprinting to the potty. Thankfully, because of our manuevers there have been no accidents yet, we are a great team. She is everyone's love for Valentines day, but I think Charlie is her favorite today. He is her best friend in the world.

Its a miracle! Bekah is blogging!

Thanks Whit for keeping everyone up to date on the lives of the Johnson rugrats. It is true, Dave is driving a lot, I am swimming/drowning a lot, and the kids are making messes a lot. We have had an awesome 2008 so far. The most exciting news is that Olivia Kate turned 3 years old. She had a Dora pary with cousins and best friends. I was pretty proud of the purple backpacks I made with help from my seamstress neighbor. Watch out Martha Stewart. I decided to get serious and potty train Olivia. It was a breeze. She put on her Dora undies, hopped on her princess potty and voila. I am now wondering why I didn't do it sooner. Olivia is a joy. She tells me about twenty times a day that I am her best friend in the world. Is there a sweeter sound? Charlie also had his 6 year old birthday bash with cousins at Kangaroo Zoo. He now loves Kindergarten and is an awesome reader. He still wears his uniforms of cotton shorts and a BYU T-shirt. He will put on pants (sweats) and a sweatshirt for school, but has them off in the car before we even get back home! Poor Sam and Brig had to take a 4 hour test yesterday for application into the ALL program (advanced learning lab). I bribed them with extra spending money in Disneyland and Lego land when we visit next month. Yeehaw, Walt Disney here we come. We have had the chance to see lots of loved ones lately and that is always awesome. We hope to see more of you soon. Love the Johnsons
