Carlsbad Caverns

Aidan!

Caleb!

This is my dad taking a picture of me. I think. It might be of Caleb. He had my camera for some of the time.

My parents came to visit for a couple days a while ago. Dave had some time off  work so we took that opportunity to go to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. It was awesome! You have to be quite while you're in there and that is hard to do with little kids. Violet didn't take a nap on the way up there so by the time we got there she was very tired. We started out by putting her in a backpack hoping that she would fall asleep but she had a different idea. I ended up carrying her for most of it. For some reason she wanted only me. My dad got a picture of all of us togther. I will see if I can get it and I will post it.  Over all it was a fun trip. I highly recommend it.

Violets 2nd birthday






It was so fun planning Violets birthday! We had a princess party! She is so girly that a princess party was perfect. Our little Violet loves shoes ( a girl after my own heart) loves to carry a purse, loves Tinker Bell and Elmo, loves fingernail polish and lip gloss, and loves to have pretties in her hair.  She loves to color and play with her babies. She got lots of gifts but I didn't want to overload you with pictures so I just chose a few. We had a few of our close friends over and had cake and ice cream. I got her dress and crown from Oriental Trading. I wish they had one my size, I probably would've ordered it so we could be princesses together. We love our baby girl and can't imagine our life without her.

I know. It's been a while! Did you miss me?!

I know it's been over a year since I posted last. Not sure why I haven't. We haven't been that busy. I will try to do better. Maybe I will designate Sundays to update my blog. So just to update you right now I will tell you what we've been up to and then I will do posts on them. Violet turned two! She growing to fast. Dave has been working a lot lately. Caleb is almost done with 2nd grade and Aidan will be starting Kindergarden next year. I got called to be YW 2nd counceler which keeps me busy besides our three kids, two dogs, and all my housework. Can't wait for summer when everything kinda slows down. We have some fun trips coming up. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures. I think the next post will about Violets 2nd birthday so be sure to check it out. My posts will be out of order because I can't remember exactly when they happend but I want to share them with you so sorry.
