SWEET SIXTEEN.......

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

BAPTISM DAY


HOW IS THAT 16 YEARS PASS BY SO QUICKLY!!!!! I REMEMBER THE DAY YOU WERE BORN LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. THE WHOLE FAMILY WAS SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO BE BORN BEING THAT YOU WERE THE FIRST GRANDCHILD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILY. EVEN GRANDMA WILMA WAS THERE WHEN YOU WERE BORN. SHE SAID "MONTANA-----WHAT THE HELL KIND OF NAME IS THAT?????!!!!!!!"

YOU WERE SPOILED ROTTEN FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS UNTIL FINN WAS BORN. GRANDMA ENGLAND, GRANDMA BRIAN AND AUNT DARIN ALL GOT TO BABYSIT YOU ON A REGULAR BASIS. YOU WALKED EARLY AND YOU WERE SPEAKING FULL SENTENCES WAY BEFORE MOST OTHER KIDS. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY INDEPENDENT AND CONTINUE TO BE TO THIS DAY. YOU HAVE ALWAYS DONE WELL IN SCHOOL AND TEACHERS HAVE ENJOYED HAVING YOU AS A STUDENT.

TURNING 16 IS A HUGE MILESTONE IN YOUR LIFE! DAD AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU DRIVING (kind of.....)! YOU WILL BE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND MOVING ON BEFORE WE KNOW IT! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT 16TH BIRTHDAY!
