Nothing like a Little Blue to Make Some Memories

At the end of February we were able to go to Utah for a quick trip and see a few other Johnsons! Marc and two of his brothers were able to go the the BYU v. Utah Basketball game in Provo and took along some of the cousins to cheer on the cougars. Fortunately that night the Cougars pulled through and won, making the event even better. Too bad our cheers from home couldn't help them out last weekend in the tournament...

Just For Fun

Here are a few pictures of Carter and one of Whitney, just being silly around the house.

And another one, showing how grown-up Carter is getting...he can serve himself up breakfast, anytime of day! Of course, you can tell Olivia seems to enjoy the fact that Carter can get out snacks for everyone!

A Birthday to Remember

So Marc and the kids really outdid themselves this year in honor of my birthday. By the end of the day, I wasn't sure I would be able to go back to "real life" the next day! To sum it all up, I don't remember doing a single bit of work/chores, etc for the entire day! Marc was Superman all day! He took all 4 kids to run errands in the morning, prepared all the meals and gave me strict instructions that I wasn't to lift a finger, but to only do things I wanted to do, ie read, sleep, etc. Anyhow, unbeknownest to me, he had arranged for a good friend to invite me to a movie in the afternoon as he needed me out of the house for a couple hours. So I enjoyed a movie w/another adult, then she surprised me and took me to get a haircut. When she dropped me off at home, I was greeted by these amazing workers/wait staff.

The living room had been transformed to a quaint little restaurant for two (well, a third person insisted on joining), complete w/menus and everything! Needless to say, it was wonderful and the kids were quite the professional wait staff, even eating their own meal, on their own, in the kitchen.

The evening was concluded with one of my favorite cakes, a mandarin orange cake, made by Marc! Seriously, it was an amazing day and I am amazed at the wonderful family I am blessed to be a part of.
