Happy Birthday Marie

Marie in the middle 

Something I would like to do here on KGC blend is feature our relatives during the month of their birthday.  In the month of December there are 3 K/G offspring who celebrate their birthday.  Today is Marie's birthday!!!  Aren't we all glad there is a Marie in our family?  She is one of the nicest sisters one can have.  I remember growing up with Marie she was always happy to have you hang out in her room.  She had a great collection of stuffed mice and a large red standing stuffed poodle that I really wanted for my own.  It was one of those monstrous carnival prizes that make a child's heart beat faster.  I think it may have received some damage from my trying to ride it like a horse.  Marie never got upset.

Marie is the sister I like to call when I have parenting questions.  Her kids are all turning out so great that I know she must have all the answers.  In fact I called her this past week before she left for Mexico and asked her about what to do with an angry disrespectful teenager.  Do you know what her sage advice was?  Not to argue with them.  That will be really hard for this feisty Whatcott but I will give it a try.

I asked Marie what was new in her life and this was her report:
Trisha had her fifth baby on Thanksgiving day!  She had a boy and named him Dillin Scott.  It was her easiest delivery and I hear she is already thinking about having another one.  Go Trisha!  Trisha and her husband Brandon recently bought a plot of land to build on just a short distance (like a block or two) away from Lisa and Doug in Spanish Fork.  Won't that be fun for them?

I spoke with Randy for a quick moment and he told me how much he loves the Whatcott trait of "getting things done."  He assured me that Whatcott's were not all bad and I was like "what?!  I thought Whatcotts were practically perfect in every way.  That's what my Dad always taught me.  Anyways I hope Marie has a wonderful birthday this year.  We all know she deserves it.  Please leave a comment with a favorite Marie memory.
