Alicia talks to Aunt Cindy

Easter morning Rick and Alicia telling Aunt Cindy all about the things she got for Easter. Listen and you can hear her tell Aunt Cindy she got a suitcase to take to school.
Look how young Rick is in this one :) "Back in the day"
Also, I had forgotten that Alicia use to call me "Mime-mee".
I miss her soooooooo much. Look how cute her little face is.

Killing flies for Daddy

Several flies got in our apartment and the kids were catching them, well Alicia was catching them as Blake screamed and pointed them out to her. They were collecting them and putting them in a brown paper bag. It was sooooooo cute. As they were doing this they saw their Daddy pull up outside in the parking lot and they started screaming "Daddy's home!" and "Daaaaaaddy!" and ...well, ... here is the video

Alicia is the one on the end in the maroon. She was so little and so cute. God, I miss her.

Alicia Nicole Rix 2009 Christmas tree(s)

When Rick and I got to Alicia's place with a Christmas tree for her (the white one), we found that someone (probably Heather and Tracie) had already left a beautiful little tree for her along with a picture of Heather and Alicia and a little angel. It appeared her place had been cleaned as well.

.....sigh and tears. That was so touching. To know someone still loves our little girl enough to visit her place and leave her a tree and gifts. Broke my heart. so so so sweet.

Before the accident whenever we would see Christmas trees at grave sites, I thought that was soooooo weird but now, I find it very normal and moving. I even find it sad when I don't see one or something fresh or new at someone's "place". That is what we prefer to call Alicia's place. Anyway, I thought it was sweet and it made me cry.

Hopefully, no one will walk off with this little tree. The skirt is VERY pretty. I know Alicia would have LOVED it.

If you look close at the tree Rick and I did, you can see the brick we glued the tree to hidden by the red plastic wrap and ribbon. hehe Bet that won't walk away. If I had had some string or wire, I would have wired the other tree to it.
It is sad that someone has to take from those who we have lost. I don't get too angry though because I know they will have to face the Lord for it someday. He will deal with them accordingly.

Laci Nicole - Lulu

I LOVE this photo of Lulu!
Look at those eyes... melt your heart.
Sweet little thing reminds me sooooooo much of Alicia Nicole.

I can't wait until she comes to see me this summer. I am going to send her back as a SPOILED brat! heheheheheeeeeeee We will have soooooo much fun. I'm going to take off a couple of days to be with her and we're going to play dress up and modeling. Just like I did with Alicia.
I miss that.
