Forget Me Not

 Good thing for President Uchtdorf's talk this weekend.  Otherwise, I'd be clinging to the golden ticket of babies grown up and wanting to forget what babies are like.  Instead I'm exercising patience and trying to love this stage.

Copper is still a cool kid.  She wears whatever she wants to and is such a girly girl.  I don't know where she got it.  She loves clothes, make-up, looking cute ("tute" because she can't say her c's).  Her fantastic smile and captivating eyes make up for the absolutely ridiculous way she looks almost every day.

Sometimes these babies are so "tute."  They smile and coo.  And sometimes they lay on the floor staring (NO CRYING) for a while and are fun to have a round.  Sometimes, though, they are the saddest babies I've ever seen.  Except when they're held.  But sometimes even then.

Boots.  Baby dress as a skirt- still. (She wears this every single day).  Too big tank.  Unfinished hat.  Loving it.

Don't let this smile fool you.  :)
The unhappiest kid in the world... :)

Half finished owl hat.  I think she likes...
There are...

no words sometimes...

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...
 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
