Janna and the cousins

I'm very behind! I'm so sorry to all my loyal readers. Much to blog about...

My sister Janna was visiting me two weeks ago and we took a little trip to visit my cousins and aunt and uncle. Lots of fun!

Having fun with their decorations

The big activity for the afternoon was creating paper snowflakes


Violet was making some excellent designs

and a not-so-quiet one


I always love shooting Janna's dreadlocks

I made an appearance at my cousin's birthday party last weekend. It was a peacock party! Her friends came in peacock colors and they made cute little peacocks out of foam balls and feathers.

They had a little dance party inside after the peacocks were finished.








All the excitement knocked out Uncle Jim

More time with the cousins! I headed out to my aunt and uncle's place for a Memorial Day picnic.

Violet greeted us with her demonstration on how to catch butterflies.


Her uncle Tim showed us how to catch Violets.


I wasn't quite sure what was going on, but Violet somehow convinced Neal it was a good idea to bury his face in her blanket repeatedly.

Violet likes to pretend she's a worm with this toy.
