Quincy's 9th Birthday!

Quincy's Birthday was on a Saturday...and it just so happened that it was the same Saturday that the USU Piano Festival in Logan was scheduled.  She didn't think she wanted to participate but after a little prodding from her parents and her piano teacher she agreed to go.  She had to get up early that morning and dress in her Sunday clothes.  She had asked for a new dress for her Birthday.  We thought it would be fun for her to open her presents that morning so that she could wear her new clothes to the Piano Festival.  She got a beautiful new purple dress and some fancy silver sandals.  She loved them.  She hurried and changed the dress she had already put on and it helped her be a little more excited to go.  (Good thing she did, because we found out later that of all the kids in her age group she got an honorable mention.  It was a competition with cash awards and this was the only level with no cash...bummer!  But her piano teacher said she is her only student to ever actually win a cerfiticate.  Good job Quincy!!

 On the next day we had her family Birthday Party.  We had dinner, which was Chicken Taquitos because they are her favorite with Cheesecake for dessert.  She got some sidewalk chalk, a princess activity book and another cute new dress from Grandpa Tom and Grandma Barb as well as some money.  She also got some nice cards in the mail with money in them from her Grandpa and Grandma Southwick and Grandma Wyatt.  What really mattered was that Ethan was at her party...her and Ethan are like twins!!!

We love you Quincy.  You are turning into a beautiful young girl with such a fun personality.  Quincy is our jokester.  She is always teaching Brinley some good 3rd grade humor. She is really doing well at piano and gymnastics.  She just learned to do a backhandspring all by herself if her teacher is there to spot.  We are sooo grateful that you are part of our family and we really do love you so much.

Some of the things Quincy likes to do at the age of 9 are...

* Watch TV - she still loves to relax in front of a good show or movie

* Do round-off''s in the backyard

* Play with her frinds Kaitlyn and Annika

*Swim - she got to take 2 friends swimming at the Nat for her Birthday and she was in heaven!

* Do anything with her cousin Ethan!

*Go to the Dollar Store - she is always asking to go.

* Play on the monkey bars during break at school.
