it's about time

This past week marked a major milestone for us. 

Violet overcame her fear of walking without holding our hands. 

at 13 months, she is still only able to go a few feet without falling, but that's better than nothing! Hopefully by Valentine's day she will be walking... because she has a super cute dress that i don't want destroyed by the floor.

We were out of town in Yuma, thus the hotel room, and all I had was my camera that is on the brink of breakage... and it ran out of memory space. 

Just to get caught up from the last time I posted, here are a few snap shots of what we have been up to.

We went to the phoenix zoo with my very favorite Bethanie and her little girl Addy. This is unfortunately the best picture I got of the two of them together. 

 And Violet at the monkey exhibit

Tanner had a day off and since we explore so many other cities around Arizona, we decided to explore our own! We went to the Heard Museum.

Love taking turns with Violet...

In Yuma, we decided to take Tanner to the camel farm.

this time Violet got to feed the animals

This is my crazy curly hair after having a baby. it's even crazier underneath.

 

and look at this baby camel. seriously so cute

we also found an AMAZING park in yuma. The castle park. seriously, if anyone is driving through on their way to california, you have to make a stop at this park. It's free, and super fun for older kids.
