Lui the Lion and Mike the Mouse

Amelia loves her friends!!!! Grandma says the story goes Mike the Mouse lives in Lui the Lion's crown because of his strong and deep voice. He helps Lui when there is danger, by using his powerful voice, since Lui's voice is soft and kind hearted. Lui's paw also plays the song "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," which my Grandma H used to sing to us. Now Amelia's Grandpa sings it to her.

Amelia knows how to give kisses

Hello! We survived the weekend! The ride back was very exciting at times and I don't mean the yippeeee kind...more like...I'm getting car sick need fresh air. Straty took the 23 from Ventura to Malibu. We went over a gynormous mountain with a very curvy road, towing Goldie of all things. It was a magestic view of the mountains and the ocean. Goldie held on tight as we made our trek. Amelia survived too. She's the greatest! She slept and played with Lui the Lion and Mike the Mouse in the car. She fussed a little to let us know she was getting hungry. We made one stop for lunch. Having Goldie is great for camping but for pit stops! Straty made us sandwiches while I fed Amelia. We also changed her in the trailer. The dogs napped on the bed until we were done.

Amelia also knows how to kiss. It's a wet one, but she loves to give them. Sometimes she sits there smiling at you and then opens her mouth real wide, asking for kisses. She's been fighting sleep this morning. FINALLY after 3 poopy pants and two bottles she passed out. Her final fit was trying to get Mike the Mouse out of Lui the Lion's crown. She bit on Lui the Lion's foot and then grabbed him and tossed him on his head. She finally had Mike the Mouse close to her. She held onto the crown and watched Mike the Mouse as her eyes began to get heavy. She's precious.

Pismo Beach RV Village

We survived our first camping trip as a family of six. Amelia did a great job. She was up most of Saturday during the day, so she slept a lot today. God's beauty amazes me. The grande ocean! It was a wonderful time, minus the mishaps or no-haps from Goldie, such as: leak under sink, no running water, NO HEATER, lock broke at front door....just to name a few:) The park is wonderful!!! and of course it was great to see our Godchildren Jack and Aubrey!!!! My goal this month is to get Goldie up and running and for us to learn how to use her properly! Our next adventure will be Temecula. If anyone knows anyone who works on vintage trailers, please let me know! We'll be back here, hopefully soon. Tonight we walked into town. We came back and Straty grilled up some hamburgers and hot dogs. We stayed in the trailer most of the night, due to high winds plus sand. We head home tomorrow. Straty's sister arrives Thursday! We can't wait for her to meet Amelia. XOXOXO

First Family Trip!!!

Well, our baby girl is sooooooo good! I dragged her around town today and she was perfect! We went to the gas station, CVS, Jenny's, camera store, RV store, Michelle's, Dad's work, got home to pick up daddy and headed to Home Depot and Burger King. She's was a trooper!!!! It's 2am and I'm wide awake. Not sure if it's the decaf or the excitement of going camping in our trailer Goldie! We head for Pismo Beach!!!!! I'm a little nervous though. 21' 1970 trailer with three dogs, a baby and 2 adults! Oh my goodness gracious. We're using hook ups this time. Pray everything works.
