Abi Turns 8!!!

How did my baby get so big and grown-up? Abi is growing into a bright, beautiful, thoughtful, helpful, kind, articulate, and creative big girl. She is so excited to be 8 and be baptized soon,
( June 6th). She is also looking forward to getting her ears pierced after soccer is over. She is becoming more interested in clothes, hair and jewelry. Abi loves ballet and everything pink. She is a fantastic reader and excels in school; she is in the Discovery Program for Gifted and Talented. She enjoys reading, riding her bike, playing with friends, playing on the computer especially Webkinz, taking care of Leah and likes to help me cook. She is also becoming quite the little pianist and can play simplified Primary songs for us at FHE.
For her birthday she wanted a new bike and this one is awesome. It is a Mongoose freestyle so she can grow into rougher riding and tricks if she so desires. And of course it is a lovely pink for my girl. We took her out for pizza at Craigo's on Saturday then celebrated with family on Sunday. She requested a flower cake and also had a flower pinata'. On Monday, Nana and Papa Fife took her out to Leo's and shopping for some new clothes with her birthday money. She picked out the cutest top and skirt as well as capris. Nana said she was a great little shopper and with mom's coupon got an awesome deal on the 3 items. Abi says she's saving the rest for another Webkinz and some earrings.
Abi also competed in a " No Bullying" poster contest through her school. Out of all of the 2nd graders in Idaho Falls, she won second prize. She wrote a poem and then drew a very nice picture which she artistically outlined in marker and then shaded in crayon. ( At least that's what she told me. :) ( Spelling and capitalization as in original.)

STOP BULLYING!
Everyone can do it easy.
Keep you're hands to you're self.
Stop and think befor you say it
SO STOP BULLYING NOW!!!

I love you Beans!
