No more Braces!

Kade got his braces off!!  He was pretty excited for this day to come. I think he is pretty handsome with that great smile of his!

Quincy's 12th Birthday!

Our Quincy girl turned 12!! This is a big birthday. The most exciting thing that happens when a girl turns 12 is that they get to advance from Primary to Young Women's!! She has been so excited for this to happen.

We celebrated her birthday with the Hadley family at our house. She always gets to share her Birthday party with Grandpa Tom. Their birthdays are 4 days apart. Her dream came true at this party...she got to eat lots of cheesecake!! 

Quincy is growing and maturing into such a wonderful young woman. We are so proud of her. She is really developing her talents in piano, theater and singing. She is very kind and compassionate and worried about other people. She thinks she is old enough now for texting and Instagram! She is also wearing earrings and looking more grown up every day. She has the cutest cackle when she gets laughing hard...we love it! She loves to play games and still loves to watch a little TV when she can. She loves to hang out with her 2 most favorite friends, Gracie and Kira! She also loves to be with Darci at school. Quincy is a good example and always tries to do what is right. 

WE LOVE YOU QUINCY!

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY!!

Em!

Emilee LOVES to relax outside! Almost every morning of the entire Summer she gets up, showers and then heads to the backyard to sun dry her hair while she reads a book. She decided to hang the hammock from the swingset and take a nap. She also made a chair swing. She bought the fabric and rope, found a pattern and sewed it herself. One thing about Emilee, she hates to be bored! She will always come up with some kind of a project to keep herself entertained. Good thing she has that wonderfully creative mind of hers!!

Quincy gets her ears pierced!

At our house you can get your ears pierced when you are 12!! Quincy turned 12 this year and that's all she wanted for her Birthday. The Friday night before her Birthday we went to the mall in Logan and she got the job done. She was all smiles at first, then got a little nervous. She was brave though and went for it. She thought it hurt a bit! It does! She was pretty happy with them when it was all over. She looks very cute and a little too grown up with her new earings!

Easter morning!

The Easter Bunny found us again this year! He left flip flops and candy. As you can see, Brinley still thinks a new pair of flip flops for Easter is pretty exciting!! Not sure Quincy agrees with her! 

What we love most about Easter is what it means to us. We are so grateful that the Savior rose on that third day and overcame death so that we might all live again with Him and our Heavenly Father. We are so blessed to know these truths of this wonderful gospel!

Happy Easter!

Easter Party!

We had the Hadley family at our house for an Easter party! We dyed Easter eggs, had a candy hunt and ate yummy food together. We even had Easter bunnies this year!!

Track season for Emilee!

Emilee ran the hurdles again this year. She is getting better! She doesn't really think so, but she is! Her times are faster and she likes it a little more. She does it to have something to do and to keep in shape. She's not too worried about her times or place, but always gives it her all and tries her best. She is great at whatever she sets her mind to!

Emilee's Jr. Prom!

This beautiful girl went to her first Prom! We rented this gorgeous dress, she put lovely curls in her hair and she even got to double with her two best friends! Brinley and I got to go watch her that afternoon at the Promenade. Fun memories!

You are gorgeous Em!!

Brinley's Chinese New Year

Each year the kids in the Dual Immersion program do a program for the Chinese New Year. This year Brinley was chosen to be one of the 4 kids to announce the program. She had to memorize lines and speak her part when it was her turn. She spoke in Chinese and did a fantastic job. We are proud of her. She was chosen because of how well she is learning to speak the Chinese language. She is a smarty pants and does well at whatever she tries! 

Great job Brinley!!

Quincy in Seussical Jr.

Quincy auditioned and made the play at ACYI this year! It was Seussical Jr. She was a jungle animal and had so much fun practicing and performing with lots of her friends. We have a great family and many of them came on the night she performed to watch her in the play. It sure is fun to see her developing her talents and having so much fun doing it!

Great Job Quincer Lou!!

Jazz Game!
