The Johansen family vacay...

Last week we spent a fun-filled vacation with Gamma, Papa, the Aunties and Uncle Brandon on Lake Erie. Our little Tink got to paint her own birthday cupcake plate at Glaze & Blaze; ride a very windy ferry to Put-in-Bay; show off her swinging skills at the playground; dance like a wild woman with Annie and Tee Tee; yell at the golfers on the course behind the condo to "get off the grass!"; practice walking in high heels courtesy of Great Grandma Achter; practice her wedge shot with help from AJ; splash around in the water park; and eat pretty much anything her little heart desired (i.e. cupcakes for breakfast, chips for lunch, hibachi for dinner, and god only knows what else when mommy wasn't watching?!).

In addition, Ian had a great time fishing with the guys. He caught "the big one" on Thursday afternoon, pulling in a 6 pound walleye!

A BIG thanks to everyone for a fabulous week and special thanks to Gamma and Papa for making it all possible! We can't wait for our trip next summer!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Today was Ryan's 2nd birthday. We celebrated with Gamma, Papa, Tee Tee, Annie, Uncle Brandon, AJ and Great-Grandma Achter earlier this week while on vacation in Ohio. Here is our girlie with her birthday cupcake--of which she only ate the chocolate frosting! Many thanks for all of the super cool big girl presents!




P.S. A full vacation update will be posted tomorrow...upload your pictures Tee Tee!

A busy August...

Spending quality time with the cousins, playing catch and wearing her hair in pigtails are all part of our girl's busy month. She showed off her skills with the ball, her diplomacy with Sophie and Lucy, and of course, her beautifulk hair. We are looking forward to vacation in Ohio!

23 months on the 23rd...

Our bathing beauty is now 23 months old! Here are some cute pictures of her splashing and hamming it up in the tub.

Our girlie loves her blackberries!
