First Camping Trip

Tio Robert and Tia Sara decided that they would love to take Johanah camping this weekend. I of course said be my guest (I think it was actually "are you insane....) but then again I am a 5 star hotel or cruise ship type of person. So off they go for 3 days (and I went to Reno) I was told that Johanah had a blast and got sooooo dirty, you would not recognize her. The pictures look like she was having so much fun and they would like to take her again. The next time will be yosemite, again without me :)

Fun Time in July

Boy what a month we have had so far. The wedding kicked off the month of July and we have been non stop since. We went to the following places so far: Sesame Street Live, Circus Vargas, the Salinas Rodeo and then the Wiggles. Not that Johanah is spoiled (ha, ha, ha) but can't say she is bored. I still have more fun activities planned so we will see how she does . That is her Tio and Tia in that picture with her. That sippy cup is like her security blanket she goes no where without it. Does she drink out of it, of course not she just needs to carry it everywhere. I am hoping to get rid of it soon.

Flower Girl

These pictures are from my brothers wedding on July 4, 2009. Johanah was a flower girl and lover her "princess" dress. In fact she got mad when I took it off at 6 p.m. after putting it on at 10 a.m. She got to ride in the limo, pose for pictures and let everyone in church know she was there. After each prayer we would say "Amen" Johanah was a little on the late side saying it and in her nice loud voice so everyone at the back of the church could hear. I was a little embarsed but at least everyone was laughing. Once we got to the reception everyone was toting to her so she was taking in all the attention she could get. Anyway it was a good day and Johanah loved being with her Tio and Tia...

Graduation from DayCare

This was Johanah's graduation and last day at Daycare prior to moving. She got a diploma for most advanced and improved. The little boy on the left is Pillito (this is her boyfriend) and the boy on the right is Gregory. Johanah and Pillito were always together and when it was time to go home she would give him a hug and kiss. I thought boy are we starting early....

Last weekend at home

The neighbors all got together to play and enjoy our last weekend at our house. This was the scooter ride that Johanah loved and wanted more of it. Thank god she didn't understand what was going on. The each time I said good-by and started crying she kept asking "What's wrong mommy" I just had to say it was nothing and then she would go on playing. I have a few more ictures to post and then I will save more for after the wedding this weekend of Tio Robert and Tia Sara. Johanah keeps saying that she is going to look like a princess in her dress like Tia Sara. Hopefully I will luck out and she will keep the dress on (she is a flower girl) because up til last week she wanted no part of the dress. Keep you posted

2 years together

This picture was taken today and the picture of Johanah 2 years ago the day after I got to hold her for the first time. I can't believe it has been 2 years, time flies. Little did I know that when I landed in Guatemala that I would be there for 6 months....But I must say it was the best experience and would not trade it for the world. The month of May is totally a celebrating month for us, Mother's Day, the 15th was are court date (where in California's eyes) she become MINE and of course the day I physically got to hold her and tell her how much I love her.... This has been a hectic month as the house sold and we are packing and moving by the end of the month. Now that I will be living with Mom & Dad, hopefully I will be able to post more to Johanah's Blog.

Enjoy for now

Easter

It was the most wonderful Easter. Johanah enjoyed coloring the eggs and had no problem finding all the eggs that Tio Robert hid in the backyard. I thru my back-out about 3 weeks ago so I have not been able to lift or carry Johanah, she tells me go to doctor mommy.. It is such a crack-up with the sentences she comes up with. It is now non stop talking and actually making sense. If I don't answer her the correct way I totally get corrected. The newest thing is she needs to get in and out of her car seat by herself (there goes another 10-15 minutes each morning) at this rate I will be getting up at 5:00 a.m, so that I can get to work on time. Johanah has also learned to undo the car-seat buckle, so as I am driving, Johanah says "mommy look I did it", I then have to explain to put it back on, which she does. We have also started with "what's that" and "why" I am totally done with those two. Johanah is now the little helper with dishes, laundry, and cleaning (gotta love it. ) Anyway, in case you haven't noticed the only time I can do any posting's is when mom & dad are here to entertain so the posting aren't that frequent. Anyway, enjoy the pictures.
