The Future

This is one of my journal entry's from my school journal. My mom wanted me to post it...

"In the future (in the late 2020's to the early 2030's) I'll be having about 6 or 7 children. I want to have 3 girls and 4 boys because I have more good boy names.

The girl names I want are Riley, Olivia and Elizabeth. The boy names I want are Mark, Drew, Will and Login. I'm excited to be a mom. I've had a ton of practice. Now, it's easy.

But sometimes when I'm tired I'm glad I'm not dealing with Luke, even though it's easy.

And I am really excited to babysit. The biggest adjectie of being a mom or babysitting is... FUN!"

Mother's Day party with Grandma

On Saturday I went to an Achievement Day party. It was for Mother's and Daughters but my mother was in the hospital with Matthew. My Grandma Johnson came with me instead of my Mom. The food was sandwiches, bananas and strawberries. And of course the dirt dessert. It was pudding and crushed up oreo cookies and gummy worms and a home made flower in the middle. It was very pretty. We played a game. The moms (and grandma) did the girls hair and made it crazy and the girls did the moms (and grandma's) hair and made it crazy. Here is a picture of me and my grandma. We even wore it to the hospital so we could show my Mom. Thank you Sister Starbuck for planning and making such a fun Mothers/Daughters party. Thank you Grandma for replacing my tired mom.

Little Peanut

On Friday, May 8th, Matthew David Johnson was born. He is my new baby brother. In fact, I'm holding him right now and I can't put him down. He's so cute. I just want to hold him ALL the time. As soon as I get home from school I race to him and take him from my Dad. He has lots of dark brown hair just like any Johnson baby. He opens his eyes more now than he did at the hospital. He has lots of cute outfits thanks to my mom. I love holding him. He's pretty wiggly if he's awake and I think he looks a lot like Ryan and Luke did when they were babies. He sleeps a lot. He is very soft. My plan for the summer is to hold him all day and take care of him and give mom a break. He uses his soother a lot. He yawns a lot. He gets the hic-ups a lot. He is such a cutie patootie. He's so cute -- just look at the pictures.
