Quinn's 11th Birthday has to be one of my favorites! She wanted lots of things, but the most important was being in Sandy, Ut. with Grandma Sally & Grampa Ed. She wanted Grampa to make one of his famous chocolate cakes - he even had a layer of cheesecake in the middle, yum - and guess what? I didn't have to cook, frost, or decorate a single thing! I do love making fun cakes, but just enjoying it was even better. We shopped for opals (Aunt Mindi showed her one this summer and since they're the official gem for October - Quinn couldn't wait to get one), earrings (Jessi even got hers pierced!), and lots more girl stuff.
One of the other fun thing we did was go to "Jungle Jim's" funland. They have quite a few indoor carnival rides that we were afraid she might have remembered being lots "bigger" than they actually were. But everyone loved it.
Josh's smile tells all - Bumper Cars all the way!
We let Quinn bring a friend with her, Cassidy Swanson, and they had a ball together. Josh even gave her a kiss on her cheek! I couldn't get my 11 year old to want to try on any clothes, she just wanted to save all her money for a "Build-a-Bear." Mom reminded me that soon enough her stuffed animal craze would fade & I would miss it. So we compromised, I bought her this new sweater and she bought this cute little outfit she has on "Lily" for a "Build-a-Bear" Puppy she named Delilah. She was ecstatic when she got home and found all the clothes (even the little bathrobe with a hole for her tail) fit her 2 kitties. She even carries the poor cats around in the little purse she bought for Delilah. I teased Joaquin we should start praying now that she'll find a good man who'll love her or she'll become that crazy old woman with 30 cats in her home and be blissfully happy. I wonder how many times my Mom said the same things about me?!?
