Look out Young Women.....a STAR IS COMING...

Our little princess is in student government in her school and was also the emcee for a program.....I tell you she can do anything!  Yesterday  the music dept. in her school actually made up a new award....just for her!  She was CROWNED...AND GIVEN FLOWERS...FOR BEING THE "PRACTICE PRINCESS".  She practiced over 1000 hours on her flute this year.  Oh how we would have loved to have been there....but we are hoping to facetime with them and see her graduation, and all of the awards the kids got!

One thing that we can really bond over is shopping.....oh it is so fun to take her shopping.  I love it because she loves it.....GREAT TIMES TOGETHER!

Abigail is so multi-talented!  She plays the piano and the flute!

She is actually able to hear a song and then play it beautifully on her flute!

She is such a good sport to support her siblings in their activities...especially because she is so busy with her own.  Sometimes she will take her knitting to do while she watches.

She is so cute with her sisters, and she is a huge help to her mother.  I find myself relying on her when I am there.  She just knows what to do and how to organize the kids and get them going.  She is also very creative in making banners, signs, and cards.

I wish I could have gotten a good picture of her at gymnastics.  Besides her love for music, this is her favorite hobby to do, and she is so fun to watch!

Here's a throwback picture....look how cute she is and she even helped out then.  She is very much the "adult" in her family.

A picture of Allie and Abigail at Grandma Ilynn's funeral.  They are the best of friends.  They have a lot in common and they are such good girls.

Abigail loved preschool...and she has always been very creative and artist.  She could do better than I can do on any craft and at any level.

We miss these times when we got to see their family more.  It is hard to miss all of the things she is involved in and watching her receive the many awards that she gets. (and all the kid's received yesterday)

Oh the days when it was easy to find matching pajamas...and order El Bambi rolls.  They have always had the best times together since they were tiny!

Abigail really is 12.....going on 24.  She likes to sit and talk with me...like and adult would.  I already mentioned how she likes to shop.  She is very fashion conscious and I really can't buy clothes for her ever unless she is there to pick them out because she has a definite style of her own.

She is an organizer ,and she does so well in school and anything she participates in,  She is all feminine.  She isn't much of a tomboy.  She is so kind to watch out for kid's that are being left out and she will make sure she includes them in her group.  She can surely run fast.  Wow..she is quick!

Most of all I am so proud of the way she reads her scriptures daily, and works so hard to achieve all of her goals in the church.  You are such a wonderful Young Women!  The years have gone too quickly but we will love you FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!! HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!  I can't wait for you to be in Beaver and I can take you to Young Women's with me.....wow that make's me feel old!
