Christmas Season:)

Christmas this year was fun. Johanna knew about Santa but still did not really grasp the idea. She did grasp the idea of opening presents and loved doing it! She got to open presents in NY the week before Christmas, then at home on Christmas eve and Christmas Day. She was excited but think next year she will be even more into it. It was fun to see how much she liked all of the babies she got for Christmas.

Halloween 2009!

This Halloween Johanna was actually excited and ready to go "trick or treating". She said trick or treat and said her costume was a princess costume and she wanted to wear "princess". Johanna was Abby Cadabby from Seasame Street. We would say Abby and she would respond back with Cadabby and wave her wand. She had soooo much fun and was so animated. I am looking forward to more Halloweens like this one. Peyton and Johanna

Steelers Game!

Shane and I got to go out with our friends the other weekend and see a Steeler game at Pittsburgh! It was such an awesome time, we had seats on the 5o yard line seven rows back from the field. The energy from the fans was awesome and the weather was good too. Overall, it was a perfect night and day with our friends the Stuckeys! And the Steelers won, it was an exciting game

Pumpkin Picking and Fall Fun..

Today Johanna, Shane, and I had family time at a great place where we went through a corn maze, took a hayride, and picked out a pumpkin for the house. It took us about an hour to get through the corn maze, and we got a prize because we found all of the hidden things throughout the maze. Johanna did really well, she walked most of the time and did not cry! Johanna loved the hayride, she laughed and smiled the whole time. She even made a future boyfriend, she kept saying, "I want to sit by the boy", and "I sit by the boy". It was really cute! Then at the end of the time, Johanna was able to climb on a huge pyramid of hay. She loved climbing all over it and did not want to leave! Overall, it was a great family day and hopefully we have started a fall tradition for years to come!

The ticket to show we found all of the needed stuff for a prize!

She found a bug on the path and had to stop and see it! She did this frequently, saying "awww it is a cute bug"!

Trying to help the bug!

Look mommy I am dirty...She dug, sat and laid in the dirt throughout the maze. And YES if you see dirt on her mouth, my daughter did a couple times eat DIRT and say yuck each time she did it!

Johanna being funny...

Johanna has such a personality lately. These are just some of the fun pictures that I took of her in the past week. She loves to show off and say cheese when the camera is in front of her. We are going to a pumpkin farm tonight so pictures will soon follow....

Johanna eating a red pepper...She grabbed one and started to eat it like an apple...

Two binkies...this is her new trick!

Harvest Fest...

We went to Harvest Fest the other day. It was raining the whole time but we still were able to see the animals. Johanna loved the animals and kept petting all of them. Here are the pictures of her having fun with them...she kept chasing them and petting all of them. She really has a love for animals!

Labor Day Family Weekend...

This weekend our family came down to visit, Shane's parents and his sister and our niece. It was so nice to have them all at our house for the weekend. The girls played really well together and there was laughter all through the house which was great to hear. Also, all you heard was Kendall saying, wait up Johhanny and Johanna saying back wait Kenaaallll......They were so cute and already starting to be best friends. When we asked Johanna if she had fun with Kendall, she said back, Kenaalll...is my friend and we have fun! It is so nice that they are so close in age and like playing with each other. My family is a blessing in our lives thank you for everything!
