About a week ago Cristian was lucky enough to have a week off (paid) vacation from work. It was great! Both Violet and I loved having him around and we did some fun things together. We bought some finger paints for Violet and had fun painting a little mural for her room. We also bought a flower pot which was graced with her cute little finger, hand, and foot prints. One of the days we left Violet with her grandparents and we went down to Lagoon to have some fun. It was a BLAST! I loved being able to spend the day laughing and having fun with him. Work keeps him away from home more then I'd like so I made sure to make things special for him. We BBQ'd almost every night and he actually had time to sit down and eat the yummy breakfasts I made him. It was wonderful and Violet followed him around everywhere! We stayed up late watching movies and playing games, we did a few household projects like getting our bath tub to drain properly, painted some vases for out mantel and lazy susan in the kitchen corner, and whitened our porcelain sink, we also bought a new couch and can't WAIT to get the other one here in a few weeks.
It was such a fun week and we were all really sad when it ended. Violet has become increasingly curious about EVERYTHING. And she has been doing a few things I did when I was that age. My mom tells a great story about how I used to get into her dirty clothes, put them on, and then run up and down the neighborhood. Well, lucky I didn't have to chase Violet anywhere except from room to room, but she did grab my bra out of my laundry basket, put it on her head and gave me the run around. It was pretty funny. I also walked in on her the other day in the middle of my secret chocolate hiding place, enjoying my goodies. Chocolate all over her face, a big smile and looking as innocent as ever lol. She's a little bit of cleptomaniac. Not sure if I mentioned this in a previous post but she picks up rocks, pine cones, and leaves and hides them in different places. It's hilarious each time I find one of her stashes. Man, I sure do love that girl

Cristian and I have been doing Insanity. And while we do it Violet stands in front of the TV and jumps up and down to the music. It's SO cute!
Things are so good right now. I'm so happy. Cristian is really rocking it out at work (he may be getting asked to be a store manager soon!!!), and Violet is healthy and smiley. I couldn't ask for m ore! But I received more today at church. I was asked to be the First Counselor of the Nursery/Primary. I AM SO EXCITED! I'll get to teach all the kids and Violet will be able to make and play with some new friends every Sunday. I am crazy crazy excited about this calling. It makes me feel as if I've been doing something good and right the last couple of weeks by making sure I get there, even if it's just for sacrament meeting. I want to do my absolute best at this calling, and I hope it will help me in different areas of my life, and be good for my sweet little girl as well. I want to teach her good and right things, and I KNOW this will help aid in that endeavor.
I can't even wait!
Life is good.
God is good.
