Violet 2 months old

Violet turned 2 months on the 26th. I can't believe we've had her for 2 months now. She has been such a joy. She is doing great lifting her head up and when I hold her she tries to stand.  She loves being held and also being talked to. She loves looking at books and other colorful objects. 





. Tanner loves helping get burp rags for her, feeding her and gives her lots of hugs and kisses. 
We sure love our Violet

Easter

I just love holidays. It's a fun thing for me to do something special for my kids. I've never actually said who the baskets are from but I always get excited when we'd set our baskets out and the next day they were filled up with candy. I still try to focus on Christ and why we celebrate Easter though. This year we bought the kids a Book of Mormon scripture reader book to help us with scriptures at night. 
 It isn't easy trying to get 2 kids to look at you for pictures. Violet didn't really want to sit on Tanner's lap.
 Tanner did wake up at 6:30 am on Sunday morning so I showed him his basket. He was pretty excited. I don't know if he even realized it was Easter. 
 What !  A pooping Chicken! How exciting.

Tanner is at that age where he doesn't always want to smile for pictures

Violet looked so cute in her Easter dress. It was given to us by Dan's sister Amber. 



 The big bunny was actually from the Blackburn Easter party the day before. Violet got some burp rags (which we use a lot) some bottles, a little stuffed bunny and something to help her eat food when she's older.

Violet's Blessing Day!

Today we were able to bless Violet. We are so glad that she is in our family and that we have a great family that has been such love and support for her. 

She looks so cute in her dress. I am glad that she was able to wear the one that I wore when I was blessed. 
 Her Aunt Emily gave her some shoes to wear for her Blessing Day. 
This is me from 1979
