It IS great to be eight!


What a special month it has been around this house! Quincy turned eight and was baptized into our church last weekend. It was so special to see Chip baptize him. I was asked to speak on the Holy Ghost. The whole day was perfect!


Quincy has been so excited about starting scouts! He couldn't wait to put on the uniform and join his buddies!

The family- on the big day.


Basketball shoes were on the top of the birthday list! Quincy starts Jr. Jazz next month. You have to be in 2nd grade up here before you can play. It's no exaggeration to say he has been counting down the YEARS until it was his turn. Let's hope he has his dad's skills and not mine!

Breakfast in bed on a "tiny table" as he used to call it.

Quincy- what a delight you are! We sure love you! Thank you for being so obedient and sweet! We are so proud of you in every aspect of your life! You are an excellent student, brother, friend, and son! We love you! We can't wait to see all the wonderful things you accomplish in your lifetime!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

The first thing that popped to mind when I saw those photos was: "Are my son's feet going to be that big in just 4 1/2 years?"

I LOVE the costumes! So cute!
