We forgot to pray!ā Thank you girl for being awesome! The only one who could ever love you more than mommy and daddyā¦is King Jesus! Happy birthday! Love you!!!!

You are already a great pilot, Amelia!!Stickman was a hit for Halloween 2023Party time at Finleyāsā¦just like your dad wouldāve done!!Laser tag!!You had to pose in front of the bonfire!! The smores were perfect!You had a blast in the old Jeep!!Carnival time at school!!
Girl, you have the biggest personality and you always keep us laughing. I love your silliness and couldnāt be prouder of you too! Youāre in the middle of iReady testing right now and we just got the results back on your reading portion of the test. WOW!!!! Youāre in kindergarten but your reading scores were on a 3rd grade level! Way to go girl!! Weāve been amazed at how well you are reading but those test scores show how hard you work on it. You love to read and now youāre reading to me instead of me reading to you!
Im so proud of you girl. Reading at a 3rd grade level is awesome and Iām really proud of you for that but itās not the main thing. Im proud of your determination, your hard work, the effort you put into everything. You have read every book in the house multiple times. When you were younger you had some of them memorized and you would pretend to readš. But now, thereās no pretending. Im often amazed at the words you can pronounce. Keep it up girl!
This is Ariel and Sebastian, from CHS Little Mermaid performance. You acted like youād met the most famous people in the worldšā¤ļø! You blushed and grinned when you got to talk to them at Audreyās piano recital!
That tooth has been hanging on for a couple weeks now. We were at the Party Palace for a bday party of one of Audreyās friends. You were climbing up one of the inflatable slides when someone else came down and managed to hit you right in the mouth. You immediately looked at me with tears in your eyesā¦but thenā¦you noticed something in your mouth. You spit it out on the inflatable because you werenāt sure what it was at firstš. But then you realized, āMy tooth!!ā Your tears were immediately replaced with a beaming, toothless smile!! You are the sweetest little girl tho because within minutes you were worried that your mommy wasnāt there to witness it. Your momma was bound and determined to be there for your first tooth because Audrey had lost hers at school. Sheās been at everything, every time, every where, but unfortunately she wasnāt feeling well so she laid down on the couch to rest while we went to the party. I thought it was pretty amazing how much you cared about your mommas feelings. You are an amazing sweet beautiful little girl. Daddy is proud of you! And mommy is too!!!
Iāll addā¦the tooth fairy didnāt have any change so your first tooth paid a whopping 20 bucksā¦donāt get used to it!š. Love you!
Enjoying a daddy daughter afternoon! Audrey was getting to do something with mamaw me and you were going to make the best of the afternoon.
We flew to Somerset, ate at Mellow Mushroom, grabbed some Baskin Robins, and then you flew us home. You followed the power lines from Somerset to London and I literally never touched the stick. Iām amazed at how well you can fly when you canāt even see out of the front window. Proud of you!
April 27, 2021. First ride with no training wheels!
Amelia,
You did it girl!!! You told daddy you wanted to ride a bike and you did it! You were brave and persistent. Yes, you fell a couple times but every time you got back up! Weāll, a couple of times it took a minute but daddy never had to ask you to get back on. You wanted to ride a bike and you did it! Unfortunately I didnāt have my camera charged to get it on video but weāll get one soon. Iām proud of you! Iām not just proud that you rode a bike, Iām proud that you didnāt give up. You kept pushing yourself. I love you girl!
Daddy: āAmelia, you have to listen to you mom! Whatever she tells you to do, youāve gotta listen and do it!
Amelia: āWhat if she tells me to jump off a cliff?ā š
Obviously I struggled not to laugh be responded, āWell, Iām sure thereās probably a good reason she tells you that so jumpāš
#2. Once again Amelia was not listening. This time, I said if you donāt start listening better then Iām not gonna let you watch Netflix for a whole week.
Amelia turns to mommy and says āAre you going to let him threaten us like this?āš
#3. Mamas picked amelia up from school and spent the day with Eliza. Mamas tells me that, you and Eliza were talking and that you said, ā Eliza, do you know why dogs sniff other dogs butts?ā¦..because thatās how they say hello!ā
Audrey shared a story about a kid in her first grade class which led into a conversation about loving others and always being nice.
Daddy āWe should always be nice to people and treat them the way we want to be treated. We never know what other kids might be going throughā
Audrey – āYeah, like if kids are being bullied, we should be nice to themā
Daddy – āThatās right!ā
Amelia (4 yrs old) – ā I know! I know! Like if youāre in the bathroom and thereās someone else in the bathroom and they keep trying to look under the stall and see ur butt, thatās bullyingā
