Mindy turned 19 recently! Here is a birthday blog post for Mindy remembering her elementary years.
Mindy broke her arm right about the time she started kindergarten. She was jumping on the trampoline with an older brother and got injured because of his greater weight. Fortunately it was minor. Visiting Pumpkinland:
Snow Canyon:
Cross-country skiing at Aspen Grove:
End of kindergarten play. I think she got the part of the frog because she fit the costume. It is a pretty cute costume!
Silly faces contest:
Working on the Eagle project:
With her cousins Lana and Mika:
Mindy took violin lessons starting from age 5 to age 11. We faithfully practiced every day. She was mostly cooperative but it was not her choice and she begged to quit as she got older. I finally decided I didn't need the stress in my life of practicing with her and enduring lessons that she didn't want.

When Mindy turned 9, I made the mistake of scheduling a dentist appointment for her the day before (or possibly the day of her birthday!). She ended up getting up a phrenectomy which made her pretty sore and a little swollen.

When Mindy turned 10, she requested a watermelon instead of a cake. She's not a big dessert fan.
