I just love this picture of Quinnlyn. It’s not great quality because I cropped her out of a big group picture, but she looks so happy!

The birthday began with presents from mom & dad (Heely’s, a princess castle, clothes, & a new Leapster Explorer game) & Avery (princess shoes). Next was a trip to Mcdonald’s (where else) for the traditional birthday breakfast. Then Mom brought treats (fruit kabobs with fruit dip, & heart suckers) to her kindergarten class.

Today we had her party. She invited some girls from school (Riley, Samantha, & Chloe) some from church( Maylee, Marina, & Cami), the neighbor girl (Anika), her cousins (Mckenna & Gracie) & one little sister (Avery).

We played games, made gumball necklaces, ate lunch, played more games, opened gifts, ate cupcakes & ice cream, & filled candy bags from the ‘Sweet Shoppe’.

I can’t believe Quinnlyn is six! Where does time go? Is this really my dark-haired baby girl who all the nurses oohed & awed over (not to mention her mom & dad)!!?? I remember just crying & crying when she was born because I was SO happy that she was healthy. I loved her so much then, & I LOVE her so much now!

Quinnlyn is:

• Sweet (when she wants to be)
• Silly (all the time)
• Spunky
• Smart (loves to learn)
• Creative
• Artistic (we have piles & piles of artwork)
• Independent
• Sassy (as in…..talks back)
• Shy (around other people)

She loves:

• Her sister & brother
• Writing letters to her friends & family (she started a letter/artwork exchanging trend among her kindergarten class)
• Dressing up (in one particular Arial dress)
• Watching movies & TV
• Playing her Leapster Explorer
• Riding her bike
• Dancing
• Her Ducky

She hates:

• Cleaning her room (or cleaning anything for that matter)
• Bedtime
• Getting her hair done (I knew the day would come)
• Mashed potatoes
• Corn off the cob (on the cob is fine)

Happy Birthday

Quinnlyn!

Friends

These people are the reason Brett was meant to go to school in Indianapolis, IN.

(does it look like I am smiling funny??? That’s because I am. I am trying hide my braces )

We girls get together about once a week for Book Club, Recipe Group, Craft night, Play dates, & just plain old Girls Night (which is anything but PLAIN!). I seriously don’t know what I would do without these girls! It’s so nice to have friends who are in the EXACT same situation as us!

Brett sees these guys more than he sees me . And half of them are his ‘Call of Duty’ buddies (when his games aren’t lost). I am so glad he has so many great friends!
