Easter 2012

Easter was a reat day. My family came over for dinner. And Z had a great day. Her dress was her flower girl dress. She looked so cute. She tool my breath away. We had a great time. Great day.

YEAH

Today we got a letter in the mail that said WELCOME TO AMERICA. Z is a permant resident now this is good and the process was the easiest part of everything . We send it in and a few weeks later finger prints that was on Tuesay and todat Saturday a letter. So Now we will get her a visa and we will be done. She will be a citizen

Thank you uncle Wade and aunt Jen

Thank you uncle Wade and aunt Jen for the pics When we were in Oregon we went to a market in portland. We bought a print from the artist he is a great painter and we like to buy painting when we go to different places.

Update about nothing

life is moving right along. We went to Oregon to visit with Rs brother and family. Z had the best time playing with her cousins. I for some reason did not take one picture. We had a great time but it was to short. It also made me feel so guilty that Z is an only child. She had some much fun having someone to play with and now, back home she is really bored. She is just as smart and fun as every. R is doing great at his job. All of his bosses love him so i think good thing are going to happen. I am coming to terms with Z growing up to fast. She will be in kindergarten this fall. I can not believe that the time has gone so fast.
We really do not have any summer plans R is turning 40 this year so we are going to vegas. that is be fun. I might go to Cali to visit some really good friends. That is about it.
Oh and we have an appointment to finish up Z citizenship so i hope that goes well.

YEAH she got in

Z has been excepted into a charter school. The school is called High Marks it is brand new and it focuses on bussiness. I am really excitted to have her go there. They have to wear uniforms. That make me sad because I love to dress her up everyday, but i think that it will be good for her. I can not believe she will be in kindergarten already. It make me sad. I want a baby now. LOL

YOUR MOM is a ??????????

So if anyone knows me they know that i love a YOUR MOM JOKES. I love to tell them . I can your Momma Joke anywhere anytime. So last night when Z was reading us a book at bed time. She pulled off her very first YOUR MOM JOKE. I could not be more proud. She was being really giggley and i said come on Z lets do this and she looked at me straight faced and said "YOU MOM IS A FRENCH FRY" We laughed so hard. GOOD JOB Z

GOCCHA DAY #2

years go today is the day we go Z for Maima
So we had a celebration on the the weekend . We took all her cousins to nickle cade and it was so sun. Then today we had a little party at her pre school class. I talked about Haiti ans the earth quack, and adoption. The i open the decussion up for questions. First 5 year old boy says I am going to Chicago to see my girlfriend but i will be back. next kid My brother has a belly ache. Next little girlMy grand ma lives here. So with all those questions out of the way i gave them a treat bag and was on my way.

Tonight we went to see beauty and the beast in 3D Z loved it. Then we came home and we gave her a gift. A v tech reader. And R got me flowers. What a grat gaccha day

almost There

So we have started the process to make Z a citizen. Do to the circumstance on the way she came home from HAiti this step was not done. (LOng story) any who , we are getting ready to send in the paper work to get this done. For those of you who read my blog and are not familar with the process we have to take Z to a civil surgeon. This is a doctor who has been trained to fill out a form for the USCIS (imagration) . I took her there last week only to find out that she had to get 4 shots.UGGG so I had the TB test done and made a doctors appointment to see her regular doc. She was not happy at all and my mothers gulit was in full force at the doc. appointment and i told Z she could get any toy see wanted (with in reason) once we were done.

So we went back to the civil surgeon on Tue. and was able to see the doc. he looked her over checked her shot records and filled out the form. So now we have to fill out more forms and send in the medical forms.

Filling out these form have made me laugh some of the questions we have to answer, keep in mind these questions are asked about Z's intentions in the USA.

Have you EVER with in the past 10 years been a prostitue or procured anyone for prostitution, or intend to engage in such activities in the future?
Do you plan to practice polygamy in the United States?
Killng a person?
Associated with the Nazi party?
This is just a sample of the questions. made me laugh.
So we will send in all the forms and hopfully everything will go great and we will be done.
