Happy 16th Birthday Presley and Evie!

 Sweet 16 (Presley)

Here we go

The day is here!

16 years old already

Time to cheer!


yesterday you were my little guy

Playing with Ninja Turtles and cars

Now you are getting ready to drive for real

But you'll have to settle for a minivan this far


At 15 years old,

You really grew up

You are now a sophomore in high school

And that's just a drop in the cup


You made the high school baseball team

Although you didn't win many games

But you made new friends and had fun

And that is anything but lame


You still play baseball with the Stars

And every year keeps getting better

You pitch and play 3rd base or shortstop

Your team plays good in any weather


You got your first job this year

You worked at Heap's Pumpkin Farm

You did a little bit of everything there

And earned some money using your charm


A big event happened this year too

You asked a girl to the Homecoming dance

You came up with your own little hoco proposal

And you were so nervous, you about pooped your pants


Your poster said you weren't Morgan Wallen

But that you wanted to spin her around the dance floor

You bought her flowers and went to ask her

She said "yes" shortly after she opened the door


Her name is Allie and she's a doll

You had fun at the dance together

You hung out a few times after that

You wanted to be her boyfriend so you asked her


You're doing well in school

But you could get your grades up a bit

You're smart enough to be in honors classes

So go on, study, git!


You have a lot of friends

but sometimes you are shy

Your hair got a perm

You are such a handsome guy


I know you are excited to get your license

And be able to drive yourself around

You want to head to B Dubs first

Drive safe and keep the music on low sound


16 now but the years will fly fast

Take the time to soak it in

Work hard, play hard, and have fun too

Be yourself and do not sin


Always know that I am behind you

Go be the best you can be

Chase those dreams and live big

Happy Birthday to my Bubby!

Love, Mom


Sweet 16 (Evie)

Happy sweet 16 Evie Beanie

16 years old already

My how the time does fly

Yesterday you were just my little baby


But you've grown up these last few years

Your wit, your brains, your beauty

You are turning into a beautiful young woman

Your friends all think you are a cutie


Cheer is a big part of your life

You just finished your second football season

You love being out there on the sidelines

You were the first picked for Cheerleader of the Week for a reason


You work hard at what you do

You always give 100% and it shows

You practice hard and do it with a smile

And you neve give up no matter how it goes


You are getting ready to start another comp season

And I know it's a long season ahead

But I know you're going to nail it

And then rest in your nice new bed


You got a new room makeover this year

We even painted it yellow

You got a new bedroom set too

And now it's the perfect place to mellow


You got your first job this year too

Working at Heap's Giant Pumpkin Farm

You are so responsible

You even wake up to your own alarm


You have many friends

And you love to hang out

You are caring and sassy

But sometimes you pout


You study hard

And get good grades

You work your little tail off

And even get straight A's


I'm so proud of you

You have the biggest heart

You're beautiful and fabulous

And most definitely smart 


You love to eat

And all things food

Eating our is your favorite

But baking always puts you in a good mood


You're crafty too

And always making things

You even learned how to crochet

And man do you love to sing


I hope this year brings you happiness

That's what I want for you

Go for your dreams-big or small

And don't be afraid to make those wishes come true


Happy 16th birthday to my darling girl

Go out and seize the day

Put yourself out there and have fun

And I'll be behind you all the way!

Love, mom
