It seems very strange that another year has passed! Time goes so quickly--it seems to be speeding up I think. Wednesday was my birthday and I got to spend the whole day with one of my very favorite people--Abby! We went to gymnastics in the morning and after class her teacher said that she thinks Abby should take the next level class that learns skills and the parents are not in the room. So next week we will be out of town for that class, but she will try the class out the next week and see how it goes. I do not worry about her skill level--I just hope she will sit and listen to the teacher and wait her turn. I am a little afraid that I will see her running across the mat to try something else all by herself! But I am excited to see her do a class all by herself! She is such a big girl now!
After gymnastics we played and did "school time" the rest of the day until we needed to go to the Church to help the Young Women learn some music and a scout court of honor. On our way we even went out to dinner at a great Mexican restaurant close to our house. 
I really wanted to go to the temple for my birthday and so we went Friday night! Grandpa Roger came and picked up Abby at the LA Temple and then Matt and I did initiatories and a session--it was so nice. Then we drove to Grandma's and Grandpa's for yummy pizza. We were pretty tired driving home though!On Thursday morning this week a great group of sisters from our new ward got together for breakfast. Abby had some pancakes that looked like Mickey Mouse and then we ran to go visiting teaching. We also had the missionaries over for dinner that night. It's been a great week!
This is a sweater that Aunt Tiff let us borrow and I thought she might want to see that Abby loves to wear it!
