Happy Holidays from Sheila & my “Gang”
*****
Violet Jean was last to come
On Mother’s Day she made her run
All smiles until you drive the car
Her squeals are heard so don’t go far
Pearl Catherine likes to paint and draw
And dance and sing and sip a straw
Her boyfriend Jace will be her groom
She picks her dresses from her room
Stacey busy mom with two
She takes great pictures not a few
Her little girls she teaches how
They know the songs of Jesus now
Kelly goes to school and work
He teaches scouts and doesn’t shirk
He writes as Dignan for the Jazz
And “Sports-Cave-Live” is real pizzazz
Kobe is the youngest twist
He plays football and shows his fist
With yummy cake he does approve
The treats lock now he will remove
Brooke loves fashion and the bling
At school her grades make teachers sing
She loves to dance and do her best
Just watch and see her pass the test
Now Mason is a funny Teen
His sense of humor is not mean
He loves baseball and has the knack
But in the winter snowboard’s whack!
The light of Jenny always brings
The little ones on running wings
She volunteers at church & school
She drives the car and is soooo cool~
Cory works all through the day
Then climbs upon a roof to play
He cheers the Jazz and BYU
He likes a slurpee, not a few
Michael now is total Two
On Buzz Lightyear he sticks like glue
He likes bananas, swimming, gum
His brother is his favorite chum.
TJ has kindergarten down
He likes to ride his bike around
He’s trying to make milk his friend
A Hershey bar helps it to blend.
Kaylee is reading out the door
Her mind and smile will make you soar
Her room as many ponies in
She wants to ride a horse and win.
Cher has patience well appraised
She golfs with Troy and crafts ablaze
She runs and reads with kids on knee
A soccer mom she cheers with glee
Troy busy with the Stoneridge Course
His lessons are the best on source
His PGA he has acquired
He teaches Cubs who all are wired.
To pre-school Derek goes today
He’s four and loves to laugh and play
He’s game for wrestling with his Dad
But eye gouge come on when he’s mad
Devin bikes and soccer plays
He’s fast as lightening, we sing his praise
He gives good hugs to all who ask
Nothing scares him in a mask
Britney’s soccer is Number One
Teammates like her are cute and fun
She cleans her room and picks up toys
And helps her mom to watch the boys!
Jill runs each morning rain or shine
The school crosswalk she guards on line.
The soccer car wash and yard sale
She gives her all without a yell
Jason works both south and north
He cheers on Brit and Dev…”Go Forth!”
He fishes in both pond and stream
His rod and reel are on the beam.
Kelsey likes to sit still, not
She skips and sings and likes to trot
She whips her hips to and fro
She dances high and dances low
Katelyn has those big brown eyes
She likes chocolate and French fries
Her ballet skills are coming fast
She always holds the babies last
Emma runs with hair a flying
Soccer balls are hers for dying!
She keeps her room and bed so neat
Her baptism was a special treat
Maegan flew with Peter Pan
But fell to earth and Austin ran
She marches down the Church’s aisles
Rapunzel gave her “Tangled” smiles
Jacob won the Football Crown
The news with picture in his town.
He helps his parents with the girls
He works at school and tends the rules.
Amy gets all five to school
She posts the job chart and the rules
She cleans the clothes, the dish and shelf
For treat she gets some time for self!
Austin works and grows the seed
His pumpkins are a sight indeed.
He helps the Young Men in his ward
Obey the Oath and love the Lord
Lindsey, Horton, Jewkes’ & King
Twenty-seven in my ring
And so you see why I’m so proud
They may be many and be loud
But Love I have for each one’s part
They are my Family and my heart~
Merry Christmas, Love Sheila
