Amelie's Birthday

Amelie on her birthday. I couldn't get her to hold still to take a decent birthday photo. And even on the go she still had to hold onto the cortisone and a comb. She's always got something in both hands, just like her brother.

In hopes of getting a picture without the cortisone, I took it and the comb away. All I got was a sad face. She sure knows how to pout.

Daddy's hands replaced her toys and she felt much better. Just always gotta have something in those hands.

We went to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday. It was mostly for Chase. He used more than half of her tokens but she didn't care. She had fun exploring and making it onto a few rides.


After the rides, we sat down for cake and presents. She wasn't too interested in the cake. Of course she wanted to put her fingers in it before we put the bib on and when it was whole and right in front of her and on fire! But after we took her sweater off, put her bib on, and cut her a piece, she didn't want anything to do with it.


First she tore her bib off, chucked the cake, and then just played with the plate. I guess I should have gotten her a package of plates instead of a cake. My mom taught me that you can do just about anything you want on your birthday, so we let her.


We love you sweet Amelie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
