Abbott's Habits

Here we are coloring Easter eggs late Saturday night before Easter.  I wonder why we never do it earlier?  Well, maybe we did when the kids were tiny.  Katie and Cameron and Cameron's parents, Steve and Gigi Erickson, even joined the party.  We found out that Cameron's dad grew up and was friends with Nelson's cousin Mark in Sunnyvale.  Small world! 

Do you see the clock?  Yes, that's right...7:10AM.  We actually left a note for the Easter bunny to please not hide the eggs but he ignored us and did it anyway, crazy bunny.

David, Caroline, Katie and Cameron went to the Hari Krishna Festival of Colors today.

BEFORE:  so nice and clean, white shirts and all....

David and Caroline swam for Orem High this year.  Here they are with Coach Chris and their awards.  Caroline scored points at Region and lettered in Swim.  David got the Freshman swimmer of the year award.  You both rock!

David's whole life pretty much he has played soccer.  He has always loved soccer but done well at a bunch of other sports as well.  Give him a ball and he's happy.  This year he came upon a dilemma.  His club soccer team no longer had Spring soccer because the boys are old enough to play high school soccer which is in the Spring also.  He has been interested in playing tennis also which is in the Spring.  It gets worse.  Tryouts for both teams were on the same days, same times and he had to choose.  He had been working out over the winter with the soccer team and also had been going to some pre season tennis workouts also.  He came home every day with a different decision about which sport to play, tennis one day, soccer the next.  On the day of tryouts he decided that he was having so much fun playing tennis that he would make a big change in his life and go for a new sport.  I honestly was shocked since he has loved soccer for so long but excited for him to try another sport.  As far as I know, he hasn't regretted his decision.  He has a lot of friends playing tennis also and is having a great time!

A HUGE thanks goes out to the Holts for their blogger expertise and resolution to my blogger grief!  I am excited to get back to blogging now that I am a google+ person.  Silly how all this internet stuff works isn't it?  Life has been crazy and it's been so long since I have done this I need to remember how I used to fit this in.  I may be slow getting started again but here's a preview of what I have missed blogging...
