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
