What\’s Wrong with this Picture?

Why would this picture bring me to tears?

Because after almost 9 years, Quinn decided that he\’s done with his special chair.   It\’s totally OK with me (sniff sniff!).  

I remember buying this chair in Seattle when we lived in our temp housing downtown.  A little flashback of cuteness in this chair.

The chair is designed to grow with the child and can hold up to 300 pounds.  I have so many happy memories when I think of this chair and all the meals, crafts, and fun we had while he was parked in the chair.  I think we made the most of this chair and it will go down as one of our best baby purchases!!  

Quinn\’s 9th Birthday Party!

Quinn had his birthday party at this awesome place called The Stadium.  It\’s a huge facility and we happened to be the only party there.  Wahoo!  Quinn invited all the boys in his class plus a couple of friends.  There were 13 boys in all.
The main attraction was laser tag.   Even Don got in the action.

The boys were fired up and ready to go.

Can you tell they were going wild?

After a couple of rounds of laser tag it was time for PIZZA!

Quinn wanted a Terraria cake after one of his favorite video games.

Eyeball cake pops for party favors.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Our birthday boy is 9!!

After cake, the boys went in to the video game room where there are huge screen tv\’s and lots and lots of video games to play.  The boys did not want to leave.  We may have run over the party time by about 45 minutes but everyone was having so much fun!  Yay to a very fun birthday party.

Apple Store Field Trip

Quinn\’s class had a field trip to the Apple Store.  You  might say the kids were pretty excited.  His class was the only 3rd grade class that makes this trip (not sure why).  Moms & Dads taxi\’d the kids there and back.
The purpose of the trip was to create an iMovie based on a book they read.  The Apple store employees gave them a quick demo and then they got to work.  Here\’s Quinn and his buddy Dan.
