Johnson Family Adventures

On Saturday we got to go to the Enchanted Island Park in downtown Phx. SUPER FUN!!! It was for Savvy's good friend, Colin, who turned 5! His little sister is Paige, and she is 6 weeks younger than Wyatt so our kids are great friends.  Arranged marriages, yes? He loves the airplanes :) Paige was too short so we got to hang while Wy flew planes :) Seriously, they spun us silly on the tea cups! Savanna's bumper boat kept wandering to the edge... Pre- roller coaster.... DURING! They both LOVED it :) We had such a great time.These precious kids are so much fun, and I'm so thankful we get to have one more! :) I'm sure Peanut will be just as much fun as Savvy and Wyatt. Speaking of Peanut, my new favorite thing in the whole world... Savvy coming up to my belly, putting one hand on each side, kissing it and saying "I love you Peanut!". AHHHHHHHHHH. Sweetness.

Savanna learned how to WINK!! All of the sudden out of the blue, she winked at me, one eye and then the other!! :) Being four is certainly awesome :) She loves to talk about going to the beach ("that's where Uncle Kevin lives") and maybe getting to go to Sea World for her birthday - trying to convey how FAR away October is can be challenging :) But she is very into birthdays and celebrating - she made me a "cake" yesterday and we had a whole party - even tho my birthday is still 2 months away. I'm telling her Wyatt is next and she is already excited about helping with his cake :) She is a great big sister. Kinda bossy, but I've heard it goes with the territory. Wyatt is talking SO much. He even tried to say "be excused" tonight after dinner. And of course, only Chuck and I can really "speak Wyatt-ese", but it is so precious and I love this stage of actually learning to talk and express. YAY! He is also testing every boundary...today

Our children are so incredible. No real, express reason I say that, other than, well, they are :) Savanna is growing and comprehending so much. We are going to start with some preschool activities next week - she is so excited. She gets her backpack out and says, "Mom, I'm going to school." :) She is such a JOY and so much fun. Also quite the little helper. And just a bit bossy :) But Wyatt is strong enough to take it! Wyatt is adding new words to his vocabulary every day. It seems that more and more he wants to try to say what you are saying, which is fun. We are still very much in the state of translation, however...that is going thru words until you get the one he is YELLING at you. Somehow he thinks that the louder he yells it, the easier you'll understand :) God is good. I see Him working in both our children. It is such a sweet thing to have them. Chuck is doing well in his job - he is getting ready to change schedule days from Wed-Sat, to Sat-Tues. It wil

Today we decided to drive up north of us, to Prescott, to play in the snow. Since we've had such GREAT snow, so low, it wasn't a long trip, and we had a BLAST!!!!! We first had to find  a place to buy sleds and after a try at Safeway, we found a TrueValue hardware store and bought the last 2! Then we found a place I googled - Senator Hwy Sledding Spot - it was FABULOUS!!! had to take a picture - hard to tell but it is a cactus covered in SNOW! what do I do with this thing??? beautiful gloves, hat and matching scarf, thanks to Jaime Geer! learning to walk on snow.... Wy and Daddy on their 1st trip down nice long hill...w/ lots of bumps! sweetness! so this is post mommy and wyatt crash. He was much happier playing in the truck drinking warm cocoa :) Savvy needed a dose of cocoa too... Daddy and Savvy heading off to sled one last time... Savanna even went down all by herself!! It was great and we are so proud of her bravery :)  Here is
