Halloween in February!

We had a couple of lions at your house today! Quincy has been into this lion costume that he "borrowed" from school this week and wants to wear it everyday. Preston was over today and of course, he wanted a costume too, so we pulled out Quincy way-too-small lion Halloween costume and they played in them for hours! Silly!

Happy Valentines!

Today is Valentine's Day but Quincy has been celebrating all weekend! He had a party at school and then had his playgroup friends over to make cookies and cards. Fun!

Frosting cupcakes at school.

This is Quincy's class. His teacher Celeste is in the middle sitting down and his teach Brooke is in the back. They are great teachers and they love the kids so much! Not all the kids are there everday but everyone showed up for the party!

Making cookies......

Showing Ruby how to stir the frosting!

Decorating the cookies...there were sprinkles everywhere!

Playdates and Nieces!

Quincy is so lucky to have so many great friends....and two cute nieces with one more on the way! It seems like our house is always filled with kids laughing and playing....what a joy!

Here is Quincy and Kolbie. They have been friends since Quincy was 5 months old. Kolbie's mom was Quincy's first daycare provider. They have a special bond! And...check out Quincy's outfit...nice! He had to trade socks with Kolbie so he could wear the pink Minnie socks. Wait till I pull out this photo when he is about 16 years old and introducing me to his prom date!

This is Quincy's good buddy and cousin Kaleed. They have so much fun together!

And of course, Lilly. She has been having sleep overs with us so this is the two of them eating breakfast together. Lilly is lots of fun and the two of them are so silly together.

Funny that Quincy and Malaya (6 weeks old) would both be very interested in the mobile!

Quincy did great holding Malaya. Big boy! Except when his brother Kenny had some chips that Quincy wanted...then Quincy lost all interest in the baby! I guess we know where his priorities are!

Trip to Utah!

We had a great time visiting family in Utah! Quincy got lots of fun time with family and even got to play in the snow!

Pulling his cousin Wyatt in around the house. They had so much fun together!

Shoveling snow at Grandi's house!

Walking Uncle Brent and Aunt Karen's dog KC.

Seeing the cows at the farm!

Christmas 2009!

Well, Christmas has come and gone....what a fun time we had. Its pretty great to be Quincy right now....birthday and Christmas all in one week! He has lots of new toys to play with, a few favorite movies for us to watch over and over and lots of great memories of good times with family and friends.

A couple of days before Christmas, we strolled down Peacock Lane, a famous Portland street that really does it up for Christmas....it was cold, and fun!



We spent Christmas Eve with Quincy's buddy Preston and his family. Lots of fun. The boys both got Mickey Mouse pj's!



We could barely get Quincy to stop running around long enough to take a photo!



Christmas morning was amazing! Quincy just couldn't get over the idea of Santa coming to our house. He was so excited that Santa ate the cookie we left him and actually brought him Choo Choo Express (the toy you see on the floor).





Here is Quincy checking out all that Santa left in his stocking...fun!

Quincy's new niece Malaya came over for Christmas breakfast. Here she is with her grandpa.

We had Christmas dinner at Quincy's brother Brandon's house (far left). Here he is with all his brothers and dad....what a good looking bunch of boys!

Quincy's Birthday Bash!

Quincy's birthday party was a blast! We hosted all of Quincy's friends and their parents for a Friday Night Dance Party with Quincy's dad as the DJ. The kids danced it up! We all had a great time!



Dancing and running around!

Singing Happy Birthday to Quincy!

Opening gifts....that was overwhelming!

Mickey Mouse Cake....yes, Quincy's mom and her fantastic friend Maria made this cake!

All the kids checking out Quincy's gifts!

And to end the night, Quincy's niece Lilly got to sleep over! So much fun!


We are also pleased to announce that Quincy's niece Malaya was born....on December 17th, just 10 minutes before midnight and Quincy's birthday!

Here she is!

Christmas is coming!

The activities are just beginning for Christmas and Quincy's birthday! The rest of the month will fly by with fun things happening. We had our first trip to see Santa this weekend. And enjoyed a sleigh ride too. This is Quincy's friend Hannah below, (second from the right) and some of her friends.....they are all five! Notice how Quincy is almost as big as them!
