Eleven years ago today, our family was completed as our little girl joined the ranks as the youngest, and last, little Klimek.~~~
Did you ever see a cuter baby girl--I think not!
~~~Our "baby" has grown into a sweet young lady--well, a young "lady" who likes to play basketball, golf, soccer, ride bike, climb trees, jump on the trampoline, chase dogs, get dirty, and wrestle with her brothers--and who scoffs at all things frilly, lacy, and dressy.
**SIGH**
A young "lady" just like her mom used to be!
:-)

~~~Abby celebrated turning eleven with a few friends this past weekend. Unfortunately, most of the boys ended up playing in a baseball tournament and were unable to attend the party. Only one lone boy (Alex--in the hat) was free to party with the girls.
Here is Abz with a few friends...
(l to r) Alex, Sara, Abby, Bailey, Kristin, Brenda

~~~Modeling her new shades--thanks, Kristin!
~~~After playing at the house for a while and opening a few gifts, we headed to Rice Lake to the bowling alley for some fun knocking down pins...
~~~Of course, I took some shots of everyone bowling. I will spare you the photos of Jamie and I throwing the ball, though...

~~~After we had some pizza, we played another game. Jamie "bet" Abby that she couldn't bowl a 100 on her second game. Abby kept the game interesting right up until the last pins...
See her final score?!? 100 EXACTLY! We all had fun laughing at Dad's expense when Abby hit 100!:-)

Brenda, Abz, and Bay
~~~Who let these dorks loose in the bowling alley???
~~~After our rousing games of bowling, we went to the AmericanInn in Rice Lake to do some heavy-duty birthday swimming. The kids swam ALOT and had a great time together. The girls spent the night with me, and Alex went home later in the evening via the Jamie Taxi.
~~~
The girls did a "Group Plunge"--check out their jumping finesse!
On your mark....
~~~Get Set...
~~~GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fun is that?!?

Here is the party gang all lined up on their noodles...

~~~Happy 11th Birthday, Abigail Jean-Catherine!
We love you!

Here's a memory--
Before Abby was born, Shana and the boys came to our first Rugby house. We then found out that Abby was going to be a girl because Shana brought floral fabric for Mom to make curtains (or something like that) out of. Anyway--I overheard Shana talking to Andrew about something and she was talking about how Alicia was such a nice, pretty name...I was positive that Abz was going to be an Alicia!
Happy 11th Birthday Abby!!
Happy Birthday, Abz! We mailed you a card....of course, it didn't go out until today so it will be late....sorry!
