Quincee's "firsts"

Quincee lost her first tooth on Monday. She was more than excited til we started pulling on it. It finally came out and she cried. Not because it hurt, but because she was so excited! At least that's what she said!

Before

After

Wednesday was her first day of first grade. FIRST GRADE!! I still can't believe it! We've sent her to two years of preschool, full day kindergarten, and now first grade and this was the hardest time I had letting her go. I love having her home with me. But she loves her teacher and was really excited to go back today. She is such a good girl! I'm sure I'll get use to it and stop crying one of these days.


I don't know who missed her more me, Cait, or Aaron! Aaron was sure happy to have her home playing with him. We sure love our Quincee Ann!

Summer is coming to an end

I'm sad to say our summer is almost over. I'm not sure if I want Quincee going back to school. I love having her home with me. She is such a big helper. But she is way excited. We didn't get to do much this summer with Brian in school, but we were able to make a trip up to Bear Lake. So here's the story...every year we go up to Bear Lake with my mom and dad and my brother and his family. And for the past 4 years one of my kids have either thrown up in the car on the way there, at wal-mart in Logan, or at the cabin. So this year we thought we would get lucky and we planned on going up Thursday morning. Well Quincee wakes up with a stomach ache. We thought she was just excited, plus she always has a stomach ache, but a few minutes later she was throwing up and so sick. I felt so bad for her. But to make a long story short the next morning she was feeling better so we headed up and are glad we did. It is always so much fun.

Quincee's favorite things to do at the beach is find seashells.

Quincee and Graham taking a break to eat a sandwhich.

It wouldn't be Bear Lake without s'mores. Kris brought some peanut butter cups to put on them. Yummy!

The beautiful view from the cabin!

Aaron was so good there. We let him feel the sand and he actually liked it. He really doesn't like different textures but he is getting better and he didn't mind it.

Brian is such a good dad. He gets to go camping a lot with the scouts and the girls are always wanting to go. We never got to do our own camping trip so he pitched the tent and they slept out in the backyard. The girls loved it.

For FHE the other night Quincee thought it would be fun to have a water fight. Brian thought it would be fun to be boys against girls. Well us girls were soaked and Brian had a few drops on him. But it was still a lot of fun.
