Tara Allen 2009


Tara Velate! Oh Tara Velate!

I bet you didn't think your birthday rhyme would come this late!
So, now at the time when you're least expecting
Gather all your roommates round and and start to sing
For it is not everyday that you turn 19 and 2 months!
If you were in Arizona I would buy you a package of runts
But in Utah you are with all it’s cold glory                                                                     I want to fly to you.. but no.. I'm stuck on the Arizona floory
 Tara. I love you and that’s no lie   
I love it when we go to Thanksgiving and eat lots of pie                                             
 Reunions and cousins weekends are great                                                                          
 And I just can’t wait to take pictures on that graffitied freight  
 Now happy 19 and 2 month anniversary of birth                                                                         
To my wonderful cousin of great worth!

Ashley Allen 2009


ashley Allen.
It is now sixteen years you have been in existence
Congrats for going that long distance.
You are a fabulous cousin to me
in fact, you make me want to flee..
To utah that is.. to the great Pleasant Grove
to sing for you this interesting ode.
However, it seems that that cannot happen
So i will sit here impatiently tappin’
For that wonderful time when we will be reacquainted
When we will sit on a bench newly painted
That may seem weird to most
So maybe i’ll just give you a toast
To all the good times we’ve had
Like playing games with your mother’s dad,
Or going to grandma’s packed with a trunk
Laughing to hard people thought we were drunk
You sure are extremely witty
I bet you have choked on a cherry pitty
But that doesn’t matter now
For you are still cooler than a cow
As you know, you are quite wise
Unless it is all an evil disguise
But I suppose I would have to forgive you
Because I have sat with you in a canoe
But most importantly because it is your birthday so great
I will leave you alone to partake of your cake
16 candles, what a treat
That is way better than soggy wheat!
AHH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! I love you!!

That one day in sunday school 2009


An ode to all of those in a certain Sunday School Class:
Bring on the Trials
and Bring on the smiles
Once that is done
You're life will be full of fun
Just break the “I want to be miserable” fad
And see that life isn’t that bad
You can go find a believer
Who will think you are an over-achiever
Tell him to do the same
So happiness he can claim
Don’t feel sorry for yourself
That’s a first class ticket to bad health
Instead, put on a hat
And say, hey I can conquer that!
Go out and do something strange
Like make pickles out on the range
You don’t want to be like Bill
Who has no life experiences to kill
Go out and find a job
Then you will be more like Bob
I don’t know where this is going
It seems my mind is slowing
That’s the end of this rhyme
I’ll try again another time
Just break the "I want to be miserable" fad
and see that life isn't that bad
You can go find a believer
who will think you are an over-achiever
tell him to do the same
so happiness he can claim
don't feel sorry for yourself
that's a first class ticket to bad health
Instead, put on a hat
and say, "Hey, I can conquer that!"
Go out and do something strange
like make pickles out on the range
You don't want to be like Bill
Who has no life experiences to kill
Go out and find a job
then you will be more like Bob
I don't know where this is going
it seems my mind is slowing
that's the end of this rhyme
i'll try a

For JANNAE 2009

Jannae oh Jannae.
You're name kinda rhymes with "Iwanna eat hay."
You are so cool
Sometimes it leaves me to drool
Although sometimes you make me eat rotten fruit
You don’t need to worry because I don’t act like a brute
There once was a day that you almost died
Melissa and I wanted to dump down and cry,
It was a weight machine that almost broke your spine
But you never even sounded out a whine
Sometimes we go on adventures
Like we will when we are old with dentures
Last week we went to a baseball game so grand
but you wouldn’t even hold my hand
Sometimes when you talk about poop
I just want to leave the room and throw up my soup
but I don’t.. simply because
You’re wittier than I ever was
You my friend are super funny
We will soon go to the diamondbacks game to find your honey.
That is the end. This is goodbye.

Rachel Burr 2009


Rachel oh Rachel. you are oh so swell
As Anyone who meets you is sure to tell
now the big 2-0 you have become
I am quite proud to call you my chum
Rachel Gunderson says she agrees
and most likely so do the bumblebees
You make me smile when i am near
even though we don’t drink beer
You are always so very cool
And sometimes it makes me drool
Although i seem to live far away
We will be even farther when you go to China – hey!
But kindred we will always be
Because we share the same family tree
So since it’s your birthday go celebrate
And at the reunion we will meet and not hate
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I love you! Rough we don't ever drink beer
you are always so very cool
and somtimes it makes me drool
Although I seem to live far away
We wil be even farther when you go to china-hey!
But kindred we will always be
because we share the same family tree
So since it's your birthday go celebrate
and at the reunion we will meet and not hate

Aubry Burr 2011


Aubry.
Today is the day you have turned 23
It may seem like it has flown by as you see
You are now more knowledgeable in the anatomy section
now anyone can ask you, "Where is the rectum"
Many precious things did you receive
like a suprise party, we all tried not to deceive
You were given a purse
And to make matters the opposite of worse
The M&Ms were bought so don’t you pout
That brings to an end that long 4 year drought
Presents have come, maybe once maybe even twice J
But you would be wise if you listened to this advice...
Go eat some cake the kind without the sprinkles
And then..........go take a tinkle!
Happy Birthday AUBRY!!!!
