Cousins Having Fun

My sister, Heather, and her daughter, Violet, came to Oregon for a nice visit. Violet is only 2 months older than Joya, so it was a fun visit for the girls to play together and for us sisters to share our stories. This was also the first visit for Heather to do with Violet not being in a crib...it went pretty well, there was only a few times that she maybe wished she was still in a crib. Like the time Violet jumped into bed and hit her head on the wall , giving her a huge goose egg right before going to bed for the night!

I think the girls had fun together. Violet taught Joya to do a summer sault, which Joya calls a "flip flop". She calls them that because we have taken her to two gymnastics meets at OSU. She loves to watch the girls for just a few minutes, then find Benny the Beaver, and then probably her favorite part is Daddy gets her dessert!

Anyway Joya and I would spend most of the days with Violet and Heather at my parents house. We had a blast and here are a few pictures to prove it!! The picture of the girls in their matching dresses was a fun day. We were going to take the girls down to Eugene to JC Penny's photo studio, but Violet was not feeling good, I wasn't feeling good, and we didn't know how we were going to get the girls to sit still for the camera!! So we decided to try it our selves, with the distraction of a movie!! We took over 30 pictures and only 1 turned out good...I am so glad we didn't drive all the way to Eugene for 1 picture!! I was very happy with the 1 we did get!!
