Saturday turned into more of a active day than we planned, or honestly could of planned. The only thing on our calender was a birthday party for one of our friend’s son. That quickly changed when I got a text from my friend, Jessica, wondering if we were interested in joining her and her son at Springdale Farm. Dagny and I decided to go, while Craig stayed home and did some yard work.  She did this a lot.  D loves her horses  Dagny and Mason On our way home from our outing Dagny fell asleep and had a power nap. I was very excited about this because I knew that we still had a busy day ahead of us. We got home had lunch and rested before we headed out for Jacob’s birthday party at the Clubhouse Fun Center.  Dagny with her quadropus After eating, opening birthday presents, and cake the kids were able to ride go-karts, play miniature golf, and video games. The first stop was the go-karts. From what I saw I think Craig was as excited about riding them as much as Dagny.  Craig and Dagny Then, Dagny played her first round of miniature golf. She’s still super young for it, but she loved the idea.  First lesson She is very independent. She didn’t want further instructions on how to play.  Solo When Dagny used up all her tokens and picked out something with her tickets, we headed over to our friend’s house, Dan and Denise. Denise had knee surgery last week, so we thought we would visit with her and the rest of the family. This gave the opportunity for Dagny to get together with her little buddy, Danny. We ordered some take-out and enjoyed some wonderful company. By, the time we took our last bite of dinner, Dagny told us she wanted to go home. Little girl was beat. We did everything possible to make sure she wouldn’t fall asleep in the car, it worked! Got home, bath, story, and sleepy land. Of course, she was up by 6:30 the next morning. :-/ Did you notice that Dagny is wearing jeans and a hoodie? Yeah, because it’s been actually fall here. Don’t get me wrong I love that I can have my windows open all day, but I do wish we can get into our pool. Someday soon I hope! Sunday, was a relaxing day at home. We did walk over to our local farmers market and got some fruits and veggies. To our pleasant surprise our local Fire Department was there letting the kids sit in trucks.  Fire Chief Dagny  She loved this thing She was trying to figure out how it was talking and moving.  Trying to figure it out  my girl The rest of the day was hanging out at home, playing in the backyard, and BBQ. Before I forget. Dagny finished Preschool last week. She is now in summer camp and will be starting Pre-K in September. I didn’t expect the emotional reaction that I felt when all her folders and projects were in her cubby for us to bring home. It hit me like a ton of bricks that she is getting so big. And, I have to go through this every year. Barbara We had a lovely Father’s Day. We had fun in our backyard playing around, going out for a late lunch, and putting a fence up. Okay, putting up the fence part was all Craig. He did about 95 percent of the install of the removable fence around the pool. We are very excited about having the extra security in our backyard. It puts more ease on our minds when being out there with D and her friends.  Father of the Year  the duo Monday, Dagny had her last day of gymnastics for this round. Parents were invited to observer. We were impressed with how much they do with them at this age. To our pleasant surprise she was good at the different activities. Most importantly she was having fun. After class the kids were called individually up to the podium and received a ribbon. It was too cute.  Dagny with her ribbon The weather can’t seem to make up it’s mind. It seems it’s either summer or spring here. One day hot, the other rainy. This is a summer day:  summer day This is a spring day:  Lily This was literally one day to the next. Can’t wait for summer to start. Ugh. Anyway, we are making the best of what we can about going outside. Dagny has really gotten into riding her tricycle. We have graduated from the driveway and now are actually going on longer rides in our neighborhood. Oh, and girl is fast. She likes to push her invisible button on her bike that makes her tricycle become super-fast and become Super Dagny.  Super Dagny  Dagny I will end this post with a Dagnyism. She says the funniest things. Dagny: Mommy, I need to brush my teeth, because if I don’t I’ll have cabbages. Me: Do you mean cavities? Dagny: Yes, that’s what I said. -Barbara Saturday, was Dagny’s dance recital. We have been both dreading and looking forward to it at the same time. She is still so young (the youngest in her class by a year) and if you think about it, it’s a pretty big thing this little kid had to do. We weren’t sure how she would react to being on stage in front of so many eyes. She has become very shy this past year. A year ago she was so far from being shy. I am not sure if it’s a phase or her personality forming. We were so happy that he had a dress rehearsal earlier in the week to get her familiar with the stage and what Saturday would behold. She did really good, so we felt very good about the recital. The recital was a success. She didn’t run off the stage, start crying, or freeze up. There were some minor moments in the beginning when she froze, but then she got into it. We are so proud of her for doing so well.  pretty ballerinas I actually think she enjoyed the final bow the best. She had a smile on from ear to ear. I think it might of been my favorite moment, seeing my little girl center stage with a huge smile on.  final bow Afterward, she didn’t want to take her dress off, so we decided to take some photos of her.  Pretty Dagny  Pretty Dagny  Dagny and Craig  Dagny and Barbara  Dagny and Agi Mama  Three generations It was such a special day. I know we will have more of these in the future, but I think the first one sets the bar for the rest. I don’t think it others will ever be like this one. Barbara Dear Craig, Happy Father’s Day! Dagny and I love you so much! D
 Dagny and Craig Love, Barbara and Dagny Friday, my Brother and SIL came up. We are installing a removable fence around the pool for extra security and my brother came out to help scope out the best way to tackle it. While the two boys worked that out, my SIL and Dagny had fun. My poor SIL couldn’t do much, because Dagny wouldn’t let her. It was cute tho.  playing tag Per our usual Saturday, our day started with dance class. This was Dagny’s last class for the dance year. The smile on Dagny, as she came out of class with a trophy in tow, was pretty amazing. She was so excited to go home and show it off to everyone, then she promptly put it on her nightstand.  Dagny's first trophy Later in the afternoon after my brother and SIL left, we decided to check out the Positively Pittsford Festival. It was small compared to others we have been to, but it was just right for a 3 year-old. Soon after we got there a clown eyed Dagny and asked her to help with a magic trick. I think Dagny was so busy concentrating on being a good assistant that she wasn’t even paying attention to the trick. It was so cute, tho.  Dagny, Clown Assistant. Afterward, Dagny had her first taste of funnel cake. Little girl loved it. She was kind enough to share it with us.  Family love over funnel cake She is truly a natural when it comes to anything sporty. She not only surprised us with her accuracy, but the kids running the booths.  Natural  Fun times  Fun times Sunday, we had a play date with her friend, Samantha, at Kango Play Center. This was our first time and Dagny loved it. I am not kidding when I say they didn’t stop moving for the three hours we were there. It made us tried watching them. We really like that place. It wasn’t huge so you can watch them pretty much anywhere you sit. It’s a definite contender for Dagny’s Birthday party. One of the things that they offer is rollerskating. We were really excited to have Dagny try it. Honestly, I thought it wouldn’t go well. I thought she would get frustrated and give up. But, to our surprise she really did well, very well. She seemed to really like it too.  My little skater  happy girl  skating  the girls Barbara This year was our Neighborhood’s 80th Children’s Parade. The theme was “Going Green” (Representing nature, the environment, or conservation). Dagny represented nature. She was dressed as a Bee pollinating her flower. She didn’t win the prize, but I still think she was stinky cute and most importantly she had fun! Here is my little Bee.  going to the parade  walking  at the judges After the parade there was a Magic show for the kids. Dagny was more engaged in the show this year. She was raising her hand to participate. It was amazing to watch.  magic show  raising her hand The rest of the week was spent at Casa De Johnson. Sunday, the three of us walked to our local Farmers Market. And, the rest of the day was spent washing Craig’s car, weeding, BBQ, and watching 101 Dalmatians (which Dagny loves!).  washing  rinsing  fruit break Roses from our garden for my Little Miss D.  For D Barbara Yesterday, we met up with Dagny’s friend, Samantha, at the Mendon Carnival. We knew she would love the rides, because we have come to terms with the fact that she is an adrenaline junkie. And, having one of her best friends there would be the cherry on top. The two girls had such a great time. Every time Dagny got off a ride, the first thing she said “I want to go on another ride.” These two are so stinking cute, that when the ride ended they talked the “boys” (who operated the rides) to allow them to stay on and ride it again. Except, again turned into 3 to 5 more times.  the girls  so cute  around and around Dagny winning a prize.  wining a prize  JH family Barbara It’s not quite pool time. The weather has been up and down. And, when it’s down, it’s cold. But, when we get a good day we jump on it. We actually had one day that was in the high 80′s. Hey Now! It was time to get wet. Dagny had a blast. All of us can’t wait for the weather to finally kick in and we can get some pool time. Until then we have to make the best of hot days that come along.
Dagny has been asking for a hat like Craig’s. I found one that looks close to it. She loves to were it and be just like her daddy.  His and Hers Barbara
