I love my Abbie!

Abbie turned 9.
We spent her birthday at Lake Powell. She loved being at her favorite place with her favorite people. Ray made her a makeshift birthday cake and candle on the boat and we all sang to her. That night we celebrated by eating at Strombollis. The day before we left to Powell we had her special birthday date. We ate lunch at Cafe Rio and then went shopping at the mall. She was trying to decide whether wanted to buy a pink electric guitar or a skateboard. She ended up with a pair of black Vans shoes. But she would still like to be a famous guitar player and skater. :) Abbie ROCKS at everything she tries. Everything seems to come so effortlessly. She has loved playing softball, basketball, & soccer this year.

Abbie you make our family SO happy!

*Your dad is always telling me how much he loves your tender heart, and what a kind sister you are. Lucy thinks the world of her big sister.

* Max loves how you will go outside and throw the ball with him. You would love to play football with him this year but your mom won't let you. I know you could hold you own just fine, and could out throw and out play most of the 5th grade boys. But you are still my little girl.

* You have Beiber Fever and have his posters all over your room. You are boy crazy and hope to be MRS. Justin Beiber someday.

* You are our best babysitter in the house. Responsible and Jayne adores you!

* You are happy, easy going, fun, confident and can always make me laugh.
You will always be our Sunshine!!!!
