AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL


Violet doing her runway walk. Knows how to model the clothes!

Violet LOVES this skirt. She calls it her 'pretty dress'. Actually she calls all her dresses pretty dresses. In this picture she was twirling around dancing the kitchen.

THIRSTY TREE


Violet's new favorite outdoor activity. This easily keeps her busy for about half an hour. She'll keep asking for water till I say the plants are full.

SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE


We had our first neighborhood barbeque on Friday night. It included six families on our street.
Lots of hotdogs, sides and smores and chilly weather for a fire. The fire pit kind of gets rolled around from house to house. It all depends on whose driveway we end up on on friday or saturday nights.
We fed Violet at home before the barbeque. We knew she wouldn't eat anything. But she did eat four brownies! That should fatten her up.
Violet actually made it to 7:45. She started to get tired around 7:15 and laid her head on my shoulder. When she started asking about reading Thomas and Percy I knew it was time to take her to bed.

GO FLY A KITE


Yesterday we went to the kite festival at Longview. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. To get an idea of the size of some of these kites, the yellow and blue caterpillare kites on the ground are the size of school buses.


Mmmm....Kettle corn....

...and raisins!

Violet was going crazy dancing to the music. She learned to do the macarena and ymca.




We tried a new pizza place over at New Longview. We could watch the kites from inside. All that sun and fresh air, not to mention the crazy dancing, wore Violet out.
