Violet enjoying some toast and reading a graphic novel her daddy bought for her.
My baby has her own baby. She's a very good mother. She has been giving her naps with kisses, food, drinks, and has been diligently trying to potty train her.
Our first cookout of the year a few weeks ago. Burgers and grilled corn with all the fixin's. This earned Violet's stamp of approval, which is becoming harder to receive these days.
These on the other hand ALWAYS are approved. We can't get enough of these over here. Smoothies, salads, homemade lemonade, fruit leather, breakfast, lunch, dinner, there always somewhere.
She's happiest in the morning, which makes starting the day so much easier for me. Delicious spinach, strawberry, banana, and radish leaf smoothie.
Ma and Pa's sandpit with Jack enjoying the shade in the background. I can't wait to have our own place with a nice enclosed yard where she can run and play (hopefully with a puppy) safely.
Violet turned two years old! We tried to take some family photos at her very Hispanic party, but this was the best one of the bunch. She obviously didn't want to be on my lap and that two year old personality is clearly showing through. We love this girl.
A lot of people thought it was strange our gift for her this year was a TONKA Truck. What they don't know however is that Violet is OBSESSED with trucks. In the mornings, the first thing she does is run to the kitchen window and look out at the road with all the trucks making their way up to Logan Canyon. It was a hit and still is several days later. She loves it enough to take it with her to the potty every morning. We chose well.
I was in charge of choosing a piñata. So naturally I chose the most Hispanic piñata I could find. A donkey. Violet had a really great time with Cristian trying to hit it...but after that.. Well that might deserve it's very own special post. GO VIOLET!
Very eager and excited to devour some piñata guts with daddy.
Uncle Isaac and Auntie Victoria sharing presents with Violet. Every night before bed she requests "bubools". So we go out on the porch just as the sun is beginning to fade away slowly and enjoy her squeals of delight as she tries to catch them and/or stomp on them.
This was her cake. Chocolate on chocolate with whipped cream and almonds. Plus two fondant roses which I learned how to make especially for this occasion.
Being two can be exhausting.
Her birthday was perfect. We are so blessed to have Violet in our lives and the love shown to her by both mine and Cristian's family is wonderful. I'm so excited to see what life brings you this year Violet. And I'm so blessed to be your mom!
