Friends! And more Friends!

We had a busy week visiting with LOTS of friends! It started off with having our playgroup over at our house to splash in the pool and eat watermelon like a proper summertime gathering. Here are Piper and Violet who each brought their watermelon over to the blanket to read together while they ate. So cute!We also got to meet up with her friend Isaac from Las Vegas for a trip to the zoo. They were SO CUTE together and held hands like this for quite a while through the monkey exhibit!And this weekend we had her friend Hannah over to play (and her awesome parents!). They both plopped themselves on the bed and read different versions of "Ariel" together. Awww!We also have a new video. I've been dying to get some of my favorite "Violet-isms" on video, she has been talking up a storm and I just LOVE how she says certain things. I got a few here!


My favorites are that she says "Uh-oh, Spagettios" as "Uh-oh, Sesh-ohs". She also USED to say ketchup really wrong, but today apparently decided to start saying it right. Darn!

This weekend we took Violet to the park by our house. She LOVES to swing! I love this picture too - as if Jon is saying "Kid flying so high on the swing you can't even see her. My work here is done."

Daddy's got some big shoes to fill! It was his shoes today, yesterday she was sliding around with two of her little plastic pans from her play kitchen on her feet.This weekend also brought a LOT of rain to Denver. It's so weird, I swear last year it only rained about 5 days all summer and NO thunderstorms. About 10 minutes before this hit I said to Jon "I miss thunderstorms!" and BOOM! Here it came! It was POURING for a very long time and very loud thunder (or as Violet says, "Flounder"). You can see how much rain was coming down our street by looking at the front tires of the Orange Truck. My car was parked in front of it and the water was up to my bumper! It has since rained every day for a few minutes. Our grass is LOVING it!
And last but not least, I wanted to show a picture of the house that Jon has been working on for the last year. It's a remodel of a 4-unit house in Boulder. They had been working on it for 5+ years before he started :) It is really cool and modern, and it looks like they could be done in the next few months.
