Happy Birthday Abbie!

by Candi Evans

Abbie is turning 8 years old and is so excited to get baptized!!! She thinks it is so cool that she will be the first one in her primary class to be baptized! She is so excited that she gets to finally go to Activity Days too!

Abbie is so much fun to be around! There is never a dull moment with her! Sometimes Brad and I look at each other and shake our heads and laugh because she is so funny! You never know what she is going to come up with next. She has some pretty awesome dance moves already. Every time she starts in with her wacky dances it totally reminds me of Suzy's PJ dance! Sometimes some of her moves scare us a little and hope that she doesn't dance like that when she's 16!!! Ha Ha This picture of her is totally her personality. Noob captured her sassy little spirit perfectly!!

She has now outgrown Kessa by 1/2" & they wear the same clothes and shoes. So far Kessa is ok with that! Abbie also thinks that she gets to do everything that Kessa does & is more than a little put out when she can't. We have to remind her that she is two years younger!

Abbie loves school. She loves her teacher (they have the same personality) so it is a perfect match for her this year. She excels in math & reading & friends!! She has lots of cute little friends. She also loves to play sports. This was her first year to play soccer and she did fantastic!!! She was on Anita Lyon's team and she scored most of their goals. At the last game of the season, she said it was the end of the world for her because soccer was over!! She also played volleyball this year and loved it too!! Now she is gearing up for softball. She is getting really good at snowboarding, too. She got a snowboard for Christmas this year and last week when we went to Brianhead, she beat the rest of us down the hill most of the time! She has also been taking piano lessons from Grandma and is getting better and better each day.

Abbie is such a fun little dolly and we love her so much! Life definately would not be the same without her!!! Have a Happy Birthday, Baby! We love you!!!
