Johanna and the duck

My mom has ducks at her house (nana's ducks) as Johanna would say. We went over to their house last night and my mom brought one of the ducks inside. The duck was getting beat up by the other ducks so my mom had to give it a bath and keep it inside. Johanna was so happy with having to get to see the duck. She could not saying "Hi duckee" and "I want to pet". She also wanted to kiss the duckey, and would say "Duckee has boo boos". It was such a sight!

Random Pictures of Johanna having fun...

Today we went to support our youth group at Fine Arts.. Johanna loved running around like a nut. There was plenty of space to do that. The youth did awesome and they were such a blessing. I am glad we got to go. Here are some pictures of Johanna hanging out on the sound equipment...Who knows maybe we have our next American Idol in the making.. She loves music and loves to clap her hands, put her hands up and dance.

Last week we got a new microwave and it came in HUGE box! Johanna was all about the new adventure. She climbed in and out of it for a long time. It was like a little house to her. She also got daddy to join in.

Happy Valentine's Day!

This year's Valentine's Day was perfect! I was able to spend it with the two most important people in my life, Johanna and Shane. We made cookies and Shane made a wonderful dinner. All of us sat down and had dinner together and then tried to ice some cookies...but as you can see by the pictures..Johanna wanted to eat the icing rather than ice them. Then after dinner we put Johanna down to bed and Shane and I watched a movie together. The movie was fireproof with Kirk Cameron...It was a great movie! It was so awesome to watch and it really emphasized the power of marriage. This movie, this week, and this Valentine's Day God really taught me how important my husband is and how much I take him for granted. I need to always protect him and our relationship and always love him how God loves me, unconditionally. God gave himself for us so I was really convicted to remember to always give myself to my husband, through the good times and bad times. He is my best friend and nothing will change that, unless I let it!

Note: Do not know what happened to some of the pics on here did not come out:(

Johanna loves cookies but I think it is because of the icing..

Being Thankful...

Not much new has happened lately except for really just being thankful for family and friends. It is so nice to have such great support from wonderful friends and family and we have been able to spend time with all of them a lot lately. God has truly blessed our family with such strong friends and family who always support us. And God also truly blessed us with a wonderful little girl who keeps growing and growing saying new words and surprising us each day. I am really trying to be thankful for the daily blessing that God gives us each day and trying to cherish the time we are able to spend with people we love. Who knows when you will not be able to see someone you love, so remember to tell everyone how much you love them and how much they mean in your life. Our beautiful girl
