Quinn's First Birthday!

Quinn turns 1 tomorrow! I know it sounds cliche, but I can't believe it has been a year since little Quinner has blessed our lives. It has been a wonderful year full of learning, growth, and happiness. We had a little celebration at the Steadman's house with Christian's family, and Melissa and the girls joined us too. He got a lot of great presents and his first encounter with a cupcake. I especially love our gift for him (I am going to brag a little).

We went to a Real meet and greet (Salt Lake's professional soccer team, pronounced Ree-al) with Derek and Madison this last week at Scheels. I wanted to go to get out of the apartment and had not planned on meeting the team since I had nothing for them to sign and nothing to really say to them. When we got there I thought, hey, we were planning on getting Quinn a soccer ball for his birthday, why not get one here and have the whole Real team sign it? Sadly, while Chris and I were trying to pick one out the signing ended and most of the team left. I could've ran up to them in a desperate attempt to get some signatures since they were using a back door right next to the soccer balls, but I decided to keep my dignity. Luckily, for us and Derek, three players chose to stay a little longer and finish up the line of people (it wasn't very long) so we got three signatures: Wingert, Velasquez, and Watson-Siriboe. I know the names will wear off the ball once we start playing with it, but what other one year old gets a soccer ball with professionals' signatures on it?

Anyways, thank you to everyone for the gifts and helping to make Quinn's #1 a memorable day!
