Renee's Birthday Post

What can I say about Miss Renee Emeline Johnson? Because she's our only girl, she's very much a princess. However, she is definitely a prickly princess. I tell her she's got an attitude. During this past year Renee has amazed me. She looks so much like Patrick, but acts completely different. She's a total snuggle bug. She loves her cuddles. She also gives lots of kisses, and loves to share her food. She also loves Patrick. She wants to do everything he does all of the time.
On the other hand, she also has a wicked temper, screaming and throwing things when she feels she is being wronged. (I.E. Not being allowed to play with the toilet, dump the dog water, or eat batteries.)She loves to talk. She says; hi, Mumma, Daddy, Kitty, Doggie, up, Baba (bottle) bye, and Nana (brother). If she doesn't know the words she'll babble away constantly. She also points to objects so we can identify them to her. Then she'll try to say their names. She's also a climber. She'll climb the couch, recliner, and anything else she can. Today she managed to get on top of the picnic table. Yikes! What she won't do is walk. She'll scream if you try to make her hold on to something and cruise. If it's her idea she'll do it, but, if she lets go she'll immediately sit down.
Both Kenny and I agree our favorite thing about her are her facial expressions. She's got a wonderful smile and even her angry faces will give us a chuckle. Renee has been a wonderful addition to our family, and I can't wait to see how my two babies develop over the coming years.

Renee's Party

Working full time, and taking care of the little ones has me out straight most of the time. So, I've been too busy to get this post out. But here it is. Renee's birthday party.... We had it 5 days before her actual birthday because I had Parent/Teacher conferences, and a bridal shower. I was a little sad it couldn't be on her actual birthday party, but it worked out for the best.
Kenny and I (but mostly me) did a ton of prepwork for the party. I made the cake, and all of the food into cute little shapes. The day turned out beautiful, only a little chilly. I think everyone enjoyed my little girl's garden party. Thank you to all who helped make it special.
Happy Birthday little sister. You are becoming more fun every day. But..... hands off my truck

Pat may be excited about parties, but I am very suspicious

Lovely shaped food

Cute cake for my cute baby

Why are these people singing to me?

Not too sure about this cake stuff

Birthday girl pulls the winning string!

Only the boys seem to care about picking up the candy

I guess this stuff is okay
