She's 2 Years Old!!!

Johanna turned 2 years old on Thursday. We had her birthday party Friday night. She had Dora the Explorer decorations and a Dora cake. Guests were Grandma, Cousin Xaviera, Great Aunt and Uncle Stella and Willard, Uncle Lowell and Cousin Brooklen, and Cousins Jeremy, Ina, Chad and Kristina.

Little Miss USA

I know it has been way too long since I have posted on this blog. My laptop cord broke and it took over two weeks to get one that fit. I have lots to blog about so I will try to do a new post daily for awhile.
On Saturday, June 13 we got a letter from the USCIS stating that Johanna's citizenship had been approved. I was very excited!! We would have to drive to Wichita to pick up the certificate so we would do that at the end of our vacation. The first day of vacation we went to "Build-A-Bear" to make Johanna a red, white and blue doggy with USA clothes on.














Here we are in front of the USCIS office in Wichita with Johanna's "Certificate of Citizenship." Johanna is wearing her "Little Miss USA" outfit.

FFF - Help Me!!!

There is no theme for Favorite Foto Friday's for the month of June. We get to choose our own to go with our Favorite Foto of the week. I think you will understand my title once you see the pictures below, especially the second one.

How Much is that Puppy in the Window

We started with five puppies and we have one more to sell. The other day I went outside to see what kind of trouble Johanna could be getting into and this is what I found.



This is the real puppy for sale. We really hope to sell him before we leave town on Friday. If not, he will have to go to the pet store while we are gone.

FFF - Favorite Foto of the Week

This week's Favorite Foto Friday theme is to pick the favorite of the week. That wasn't difficult for me. My favorite was taken last Sunday before going to church. Johanna even cooperated and smiled.

FFF - Bloopers

It's been awhile since I have posted a Favorite Foto Friday. This week Sarah chose the theme bloopers. I don't know if the picture below is actually a "blooper" but it is one I find amusing. I titled it, "Johanna has a ways to go before she grows into Mommy's shoes or other items."

Easter (cont.)

I really tried not to overdo it on Johanna's Easter basket. Of course a basket just wouldn't be complete without some candies - Peeps (Grandma ate most), Robin Egg Jelly Beans (Mommy ate most), and a chocolate bunny. Johanna got her first piece of the bunny yesterday (May 6). She really isn't much of a candy eater. Not because she doesn't like it but because I don't give her much. We may have Easter candy until Halloween.
Sorry the pictures are all out of order. LOL
