Blessed
My life is so blessed. I am have such a fun life. An adorable little girl that although makes me stir crazy makes me so so happy and keeps life fun. I have a great hardworking husband aka the most handsomest husband of the world. Wonderful families who love us. We get to go to Utah in a few day and boy are we ready! I am so excited! I am grateful for the young women who love me and Quincy, who keep me thinking, problem solving, driving around and busy. We are grateful for work and projects and all. Thanks to my Father in Heaven for everything. I am excited to be able to go to the temple a couple of times in the next few weeks without it being a 9 hour day and having great babysitters for Q, and I am grateful to be able to be apart of the temple blessings. I am so happy and happy I can smile throughout everyday.

Dear Quincy,You are the funniest little goober, pill, princess...baby girl ever. Life is so fun with you around, we get to laugh from one Quincy moment to another. Yesterday you were sitting with daddy on the couch, he set you on your feet on the floor expecting you to turn to him or sit down or something, but no. You put your hands in the air and walked aver 80 inches! (My sewing measuring tape was out so we measured.) It totally caught us off guard. Go baby go! you keep getting more and more daring. At church you kept walking & walk-falling the few steps between me and daddy on the pew. After you squealed with delight multiple times daddy took you to the foyer. Since Sunday it seems that every time you are standing you want to throw your arms up and try to walk, or you try balancing. You get so pleased with yourself, like you know you are working hard at learning a new trick. Mommy is proud or you. Grandma Jill told me it seem you are a very determined girl and it is true. When you put your mind to something you are going to do it! (If you are unable to accomplish what you want-like opening a bathroom cabinet that has been rubber banded shut you get very upset.)
A couple of things:
When daddy is putting on his socks and shoes before work there is no place you would rather be then on his lap or sitting between his legs.
You love to put blankets, shirts or whatever on your head and then you keep on playing with them there.
When my phone rings or someone knocks on the door you get startled in a funny way. You look at me and crawl to me just as fast as you can.
Yesterday you decided to eat straight off the ground no hand to mouth or anything just face down on the carpet trying to pick up a pea lost at lunch. Each time you got it in you mouth you let fall back out though. Silly Q. I dropped some cheerios on the ground and you continued your game, but you paused each time I tried to capture a video of you.
Awe. Sunday morning.
Q found my box of stuff for Utah and decided to play dress up.

I love you to pieces!
Love,
Mommy
PS your smile melts my heart

The Week of July Forth
It rained Saturday June 29-Wednesday with only some let up. I desperately needed to grocery shop but didn't dare try to juggle Quincy and groceries in the down pours.
We also had a coconut party
Scott, Quincy, and I had a fun, relaxing weekend with Scott off work Thursday and Friday for the holiday. Thursday morning, July forth, the YM/YW were in charge of a ward party-we did a pancake breakfast. It turned out pretty well considering how much I didn't want to be in charge of a party and how more than half the presidencies were going to be out of town and only mediocre communication in planning the party. We were only stopped by a little rain which made for a very nice instantly fast and willing clean up crew.
Later on the evening of the 4th we headed downtown to watch fireworks. We left at Q's bedtime so she easily fell asleep in the car. On our way we stopped at Piggly Wiggly and bought a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and got some forks from the deli counter. After parking near Battery Park we walked to Waterfront park to join the masses. Water front park is on the opposite side of the bay from the Yorktown, an aircraft carrier, on which the fireworks were shot off of. The view was great, the bay full of baots, aircraft carrier, the Arthur Ravenel Bridge. Beautiful weather and no rain. We enjoyed our ice cream and moved a few times to get away from people smoking. ugh. Fireworks were just okay, Quincy liked watching people more (she woke up on our walk.) May not do it again, but I would recommend going to waterfront park at dusk. Here we are waiting for fireworks.
The next morning we went to the church where to girls (new YW!) were baptized. Sakia and Sharida, sisters will be great to have as part of my group. including these girls there have been 7 new YW in our ward in the last month! Crazy! Hard to stay on top of but exciting. It must be summertime-the time to move.
In between all the comings and goings Scott and I have been reading The Serpent's Shadow together, the last book in a Rick Riordan series we listened to on our DC trip.

Bananas and Q don't get along
June 24, the test: Before eating a banana for breakfast
Later that afternoon. :(
and a few other pics throughout the day
she escaped...and got up! surprise to me.
up and down, up and down.
Later in the week:
Quincy had been resisting her afternoon nap during the last week of June. I found her playing in her crib a couple of days before falling asleep. After a couple days of this. Q wouldn't go down at all but this happened or almost happened 3 or 4 days.
I think we mostly have adapted to a 1 nap a day policy now.

The Heat Win...
(Yes, this has to be included on the blog because it is such a big part of our (Scott's) lives.)
