Happy 2nd Birthday!

Amelia,
You turned 2 and you had an amazing birthday!  So many people love you and you are such a light in our family.
We call you our sour patch kid - you are either crazy happy or very, very upset.  You love to make people laugh and you are a very silly little girl.  Your personality is really starting to come out and we absolutely love it!
Some of your favorite foods include rolls (which you say in such a cute way), fruit, any sort of treat, and breakfast foods dipped in a lot of syrup.
You love to do whatever CJ and Bridget are doing.  You are usually happy to go on walks and love to run and play at the park.  You love your stuffed animals - giraffe still is the favorite (and we can tell because he has no fur left on his tail where you suck on it) but you love all little stuffed creatures.
For your birthday, we had rolls, fruit, and chicken for dinner followed by peach cobbler for dessert.  You received dress-up dresses, books, a scooter, and fun little stuffed animals as gifts.  It was a great day and you enjoyed spending time with the people who love you most!
I love you and you are a perfect fit in our family!

Love,
Mom

Park City Fall 2018

Amelia,
You are such a trooper.  We spent a weekend before school starts for CJ in Park City.  We played in the pool and hiked Donut Falls together.  You love to be outside and doing whatever your brother and sister are doing.  You are the perfect addition to our family and we love you so much!
Love,
Mom

Meeting Henry

Amelia,
Your first cousin on mom's side was born in July.  We went to visit him and help out Aunt Jenn.  You were pretty jealous of me holding and paying attention to another baby.  At one point, I had to nurse you to keep you happy while bouncing Henry on my lap to keep him happy while Aunt Jenn took a nap.  We went to the beach and played and just had a good time with the Hansens.  You and Henry are the same age in school but almost a year apart.  It will be so fun to see you guys grow up.
I love you!
Mom

I love you!

Southern California Trip 2018

Amelia...
We took a trip to Las Vegas and Southern California to see most of our extended family.  We started in Vegas and swam at Grandma and Papa's house a lot.  Then we went to Southern California to see Uncle Peter and Aunt Chantra, Hansens, Aunt Sunny, and Great Grandma Donna.  We spent a lot of time on the beach and one day at Disneyland.  You traveled so well and loved seeing so many people who absolutely love you!
I look forward to many more adventures with you my little one!
Love,
Mom
