Quinn's Letter 2015
Dear Quinn,
Wow! You turned five this week. FIVE! That is a pretty big deal. I mean you are now old enough to go to Kindergarten and your age takes up one whole hand. Official big kid status around here these days. I have to admit, while I do sometimes miss having a sweet squishy baby around, I really love this stage in our lives. You are pretty agreeable and we can basically do anything we want at anytime with little notice. It is pretty awesome. You are pretty awesome!
Here is a snapshot of FIVE year old Quinn.
- You are super smart. You can basically read anything with little effort. Example- at Costco, you read a sign that says, "Get cash back" while eating your hotdog, and instantly want to know how you can get cash back! I think you were just born with the code for reading in your brain. It is amazing. You are also working on your number sense and are doing a great job with adding and subtracting numbers, as well as, counting in different ways (by tens, fives, twos, etc.) You can write your name like a champ and you are branching out to other words as well.
- You love babies. We added two new babies to our family over the last year, and you are totally smitten with both of them. You love to tickle them and play peak-a-boo. And you love to try to comfort Olive and breast feed her. You will probably be really embarrassed about that one day, but you shouldn't be. It's sweet and natural and so loving.
- You have never met a stranger. You make friends everywhere we go. I can send you into any new situation and you will come out with a friend, and possibly trying to arrange a play date. You are the queen of hugs!
- You are creative and imaginative. You have an imaginary friend named Megamort, and he is pregnant/has a baby named Susan. And while, Megamort drives me a little nuts, I love to see you using your imagination. You asked for and received an Animal costume and a set of drums for your birthday! That is pretty cool.
- You love preschool and you are a big helper to your teacher and classmates. You have grown and learned so much this year in school. We are really going to miss your preschool teachers, but we are so excited for you to start Kindergarten.
- You love to draw rainbows and suns. I truly don't think you have one favorite color (and that is why it changes all the time), but rather you love the rainbow of colors. And you almost always put it in ROYGBIV order. I told you- you are smart!
- You weigh 30 lbs and are 40 inches tall.
- You love all things Disney. You love princesses. You love villains more. I think The Little Mermaid is still your ultimate favorite, but it changes from time to time. \
- You love Legos. You especially love building The Simpson Legos with Dad.
- You are still a picky eater. You do LOVE tuna though. It is your lunch of choice.
- You love your dance class, and we are excited to see you preform at your recital in a couple of weeks.
- You are funny. You are kind, You are bossy. You are caring. You are nurturing. You are silly. . You are easy going. You are smart. You are hilarious. You are friendly. You are helpful. You are beautiful inside and out!
love you!

The Rest Of June- Part 2
We continued to cheer on the US Men's National Team in the World Cup.
We finally went swimming at our pool. First time this year! Quinn was a swimming fool. She loved it.
We have been hanging out and playing.
Quinn painted with pudding and did a little swimming starting at 8:15 pm. I live summer.
Quinn went to Princess Summer Camp with Ariel and Jasmine. She loved it. She made a sand art necklace that she loves.
For Ladies Night, my mom, Ali, Quinn, and I went to Training Table and to Taylorsville Dayzz. It was rainy, but Quinn still hit all the kiddie rides. And for free- it was Frozen night. So if you wore a costume, you rode for free.
We went to the zoo with Becca, Isaac, and Sam. Sam and Dalan are buddies for life.
We went and watched Despicable Me in the park!
We took Quinn downtown to play in the fountains. We also walked over to the Disney store, and Quinn found an Ursula and Eric "Barbie" doll. Best. Day. Ever.
Diet Coke gets me.
We played hopscotch.
Julia and Steve had their reception! And I hardly got any photos. :-(. Boo! Quinn was a handful to say the least. But trust me when I say it was perfectly lovely. A truly beautiful evening in the mountains.
