The tutu

Soleil is funny.  Somewhere deep inside her was planted that stereotypical gene that makes a girl obsessed with clothes and shoes and accessories.  She's only 2 1/2 but she is completely entertained with clothing and shoes and accessories and would probably prefer them to toys. When she gets bored she says, "Mom, can I go change my clothes?"  It's like the first thing that comes to her mind when she thinks of something fun to do.  When I walk past the shoe department or little girls clothing department at the store, I have to move quick because as soon as her eye catches it she's all questions, "Mom, can I get out! Mom can I try those on! Mom pleeeeeze!" And then she cries or throws a fit if I say no.  

Yesterday at Target I stopped at the shoe section and let her try some on.  She was in heaven!     It was like Christmas morning, seriously.  She was so happy and giddy, she was dancing and twirling and singing down the aisle in her shoes, like one of those Disney princess movies that you see and think, "that's SO not real life."  Well it IS with her.  

Yesterday she wanted to wear one of her tutu skirts to church and I wouldn't let her.  When I tell her "no" then she thinks of another way to ask so I'll say yes.  So she asked, "Mom, I can just wear it UNDER my dress."  I told her that was fine AFTER church, but not TO church.  I thought she had complied.  Then during sacrament meeting I took her out to go potty.  As I was helping her in the bathroom I noticed something else was under her dress.  Her tutu.  I could have been upset that she disobeyed, but I just had to laugh.  It was too funny that it was SO important to her to wear the tutu. She just could NOT bear to go a day without it on.  

This morning while I was coaxing her to wear pants because it was so cold outside, she did not forget her loyalty to the tutu. She wanted to wear it OVER them.

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.
