Violet 4 months old

Violet turned 4 months old on June 26, 2014. She's been so much fun to have in our family. She's loves to smile. She weighs 15 lbs and is 25" long. She just keeps growing so much

At 4 months she doesn't really like to lay on her stomach but is getting better about it

She spits up a lot so we are always changing our clothes

She giggles and laughs and loves playing with her brother 

She's starting to give wet kisses and loves to be held

She's so snuggly and loves it when you hold her to fall asleep
She can hold her bottle if she needs too, and has started making mouth movements when we eat. I think she might be ready for some rice cereal.
She wakes up happy and smilie from her naps- she doesn't like to take the nap but is always glad when she can be up and see what's going on in the world
We love our Violet and are so glad she is in our family. 

Bean Museum at BYU

I have never been to the Bean Museum at BYU and Dan has always wanted us to go. After they did the remodel we finally went. It's pretty amazing. I had no idea what was going to be there. All of the animals are are real skins they had stuffed. It's pretty amazing seeing them up so close. 

 Tanner with the Rhino and the Giraffe. They have 2 giraffes out in the main lobby 

 A hippo- some of them even have scratches on them from when they were attacked

 Tanner, Rach and Violet by the bears

 Dan teaching Tanner about the Animals in the wild

 That's a big elephant- not me but the actual elephant 

 This butterfly exhibit was made out of actual butterflies 

The same with this beetle exhibit. 

 What a bug would look like if it were bigger- so gross

 The Tiger from the Zoo - 

 Violet riding on the Zebras. For some reason I always feel sad when I see a stuffed Zebra. It makes me feel bad. 

Attack!  It's a pretty neat exhibit and Tanner has talked about it several times since we've been there. He wants to go back and it's a free exhibit for anyone who wants to go. We went on June 11, 2014

So Happy

Violet wakes up so Happy from her naps and also in the morning. She's been a very good baby and so much fun to have in our family. 

Living Planet Aquarium

I took Tanner and Violet to the new Aquarium in Draper. It was pretty Fun. 

Such a character. I told Tanner to turn around and smile so I could take a picture of the fish above him. 

Eaten by a shark!

Tanner and Grandma Bonnie 

This exhibit was sponsored by Tanner 

Trying to pet the Manta Rays

Inside the shark tunnel. That was pretty neat being able to walk under the sharks and fish while they swam around. 

Racheal, Violet and Tanner

Tanner also didn't want to climb on the whale for his picture. 

We had so much fun with Grandma Bonnie at the Aquarium
