Well as I mentioned in my earlier post - my brother Chace was in town visiting from HI.
My parents came up on the 4th of July to enjoy a relaxing weekend with Violet's other Grandparents and to also drive Chace back to Madison to visit with more family. Violet and I made the road trip to WI so we could also see the Wallsch side of the family - most of them had not seen her in person so it was a very full day of smiles and new faces. Here are some pics from that day. Thank you again to Uncle Wayne and Aunt Pam for hosting the event - they live in the Dells near Lake Delton - it was crazy to see people literally walking around in the middle of what use to be a huge water attraction.

(*contact me if you would like me to send you a link to all the pics from that day)

4th of July Weekend - Uncle Chace



Over the 4th of July weekend my brother Chace flew in from HI - it has been about two years since we have seen him. He has been stationed in HI on a Marine Base with his wife Christal and daughter Ellie. It was soo great to see him and for him to be home to visit with friends and family. Here are a couple pics of Chace with Violet.

New Sleep Position


Violets favorite sleep position - no matter what position we lay her down in - by the next morning this is how we find her. Soo cute!!

Uncle Dan


In late June my brother Daniel traveled to MN with some friends for a wedding in Stillwater.
It had been about three months so it was good to see him. Violet had changed alot since he last saw her. Let's just say Violet likes her Uncle Dan - he immediatly got on the floor and played with her along with talking to her in a funny Grover voice. It was a great visit and I just had to post this great picture of the two of them.

Gettin' in Shape!

Tona has put Violet on a strict exercise regimen. It includes mountain climbers:



and back bridges.
Just do it!

Teefers!


Violet has recently sprouted a couple teeth on her bottom jaw. We've been using them to open beer bottles (just like her grandma!).
