A new addition to our family

We have a new family member. Our precious Dodo Kitty came to us yesterday. :) Mommy saved him from going to the pound. Isn't he so cute. Timmy and I are crazy with happiness, and Daddy even likes him. Of course Mommy loves him too.

Dodo playing with a little soft ball that Timmy and I were rolling to him.

This is Dodo's Castle. It is his safe place and Mommy says I am not to touch him when he is in there. I have a hard time obeying, because I want to hold and hug him all the time.

Can you see how happy I am to have a little Kitty of my own?

Here is Timmy telling Mommy that he loves Dodo. Timmy actually named Dodo. It is pronounced like Dough Dough. I like to call him Titty (Kitty) but Mommy calls him Mr. Dodo Kitty. He has a lot of names and is so much fun.

Thanks Mommy and Daddy. We love our Kitty.

Just a little update from Mommy : So I am a member of Freecycle, and I saw on the site that a family had a bunch of kittens and they had to be gone by a certain day or they would be sent to the pound. I just couldn't stand to have that happen (thanks to my Mother, I am a lover of animals), so I wrote them an email (after asking ken) to tell them we would love one of the male kittens. Well I didn't hear back, so I thought that they were all gone. I think Ken was happy that they were gone. But then we got a call asking us if we still wanted a male kitten. Their computer crashed and they couldn't respond to the email. So while I was at enrichment teaching a cooking class, Ken took the kids and went to get the Kitty and all the supplies to take care of him. We will see how the kids do, but from all evidence so far.....They might love him to death!

Happy Fourth of July. Here we are as a family. I wasn't too happy to have my picture taken. Mommy says I didn't get enough sleep after all the activities yesterday. But I do love my family.
This is Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. We love them so much. I love playing over at their house and playing with the kitchen toys.
Here is our cousin Cody. He was playing and he sure got dirty.

Ahhh. All clean.

Here is a group photo of all the boys in the family that have Grandpa's name in their name. Douglas is a great name.

Our Fourth of July celebration on the 3rd. It was a lot of fun. Eric and Shelly were still here, and so were a lot of the cousins. Again Timmy and I had fun with the sparklers. I did burn my finger a little bit trying to touch the sparkles, but I learned my lesson.

Here is cousin Joey. He was covering his ears because our Johnson firework display was so loud and crazy. The uncles sure know how to put on a good display!

I loved sitting with Daddy. I helped him pick out which fireworks we would shoot off. I had such a blast. I love the fourth of July where we celebrate our Country. I was so happy as you can tell from my smile. :)

Here are Grandma and Grandpa Johnson sitting on their swing. We love them sooooo much.

Hallie Jo and I joined Grandma and Grandpa a little later when it started to get little chillier. We had such a fun time. We love this country and we love to celebrate it's independence.

We went to the Provo Fourth of July Parade. We got some candy and I was so nice. I shared some of my sucker with Timmy.

Do you like my hair? Mommy put sunblock all over my head so I wouldn't get a sunburn. I got really hot and my face was really red, but I didn't mind as long as I got my candy.
