Happy Birthday to one of my beautiful daughters Amanda. She just turned over 30 plus years today. She is an AMAZING ABSOLUTE WOMAN. She can fix anything, she’s the Jo of Facts of Life. She is a motorcyclist, a boat driver/mechanic. She is an amazing artist and baker/pasty chef. She has many accomplishments and achievements. She is always the boss lady. She is a cross country driver. I am telling you if you got something you need to fix she’s your girl! She helped build our old house, she helped to build the pizza oven, she has even rebuilt her own house and her motorhome. Made repairs on the side of the road. Her personality shines bright. She’s a mom, wife, daughter, friend, sister, sister in law you name it. I want to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎈
Here she is 4 months old with her brother Bruce and sister Crystal.

This is always one of my favorites they had dressed up and Amanda had like a chef hat which is funny as she is a superhero chef! Once my mother said when we were both in the same house for the weekend Amanda your a chef and then later on I was told I was a short order cook. LMAO!! 🤣 I still laugh at that one. Amanda was the little girl whom if we left she would cook cakes and all types of yummy stuff. The clothes they were my moms from the 60s. Cody looks on…
Good family trips
Disney
Getting her book signed at Disney
She played all kinds of sports and was always good at it!
She was born on Easter one year it seemed a lot of the years we had Easter celebrating and her birthday
Amanda always had some of the best toys, Hello Kitty stuff and always got her daddy to buy her stuffed animals. Bruce would come back to the truck “she wanted it and I couldn’t say no”
She loves her movies and still does. She had on her Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nightgown.
Her great aunt Sissy always came to visit and would bring them candy. I just talked with her the other night.
I love this. We would have “girls” nights where we would put on nail polish or curlers. We would watch movies and eat popcorn.
We always had watermelon seed spitting days and nights. We ate watermelon everyday and Alexis and Amanda still do. They grew up in NC where there were fields of watermelons growing and we could get them at the local Family Foods for next to nothing. Crystal even sold watermelons one year to make money. The girls would help her.
She loved new clothes
Alexis and Amanda
This was at a concert we went to. Oh my goodness in 1999 we went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and we didn’t let Amanda go because she was 6 years old. She was so mad at us.
She was a Girl Scout from Daisy to Senior going on trips all the time. She was a spelunker. She went cave climbing. That is a special thing because it can have cramped sections. Climbing in little places. She went several times with that group.
She is so pretty looks so different with the dark hair. She did like to change her hair.
