Rachel Hicks 2011


My dearest Rachel: Today’s the day, it’s finally here!
As of right now… YOU CAN OFFICIALLY DRINK BEER!!
You’re also one year older….and wiser too
So you’ll be staying away from that smelly brew! :)
But we can still party hardy all the day long-
With cake, food, and friends and even a song!
All for you – the lady everyone loves!
Who is even more special than 2 flying doves!!
Such a kind little lass, always thinking of others,
Offering everything you have – as selfless as a mother!
You’ll join in on the crazy, you’re sometimes a goof…
But the moment someone needs you… it’s like a magical *POOOOOF*
You’re ALWAYS there with a listening ear,
Giving great advice until given the “all clear”
Such a beautiful woman in numerous ways,
Also a brilliant student – especially on English Essays!
You’re the best of the best and I love you dearly!
But come April… I’ll be missing you SEVERELY!!
Hawaii will gain what Arizona will lose-
But what the heck?! We’re supposed to come in twos!
Good thing we have had wonderful memories galore!
Probably because living with you is the opposite of a bore!
I love you Rachel, have a fabulous day!!
Maybe consider going to the Chinese Buffet!
Just stay clear of the muscles – we don’t want you sick!
This day is for YOU – the one and only Rachel the Hick! Oh, I mean Hicks! :)
Happy Birthday Rachel!!!!!!! :) :)

Dallin Brown 2011


Dal Pal!
Another year gone, it’s birthday time again!
You’re getting kinda old… can I get an amen?!
Just kidding, we’ll save that for a later date.
Right now, celebrations are in order for this lad who’s top-rate!
So gather your friends round & round,
They’ll sing together and produce a mighty sound.
They’ll come with balloons & even a cake,
Waitin’ to dance the night away until feel start to ache.
Or maybe you’d rather have a night out on the town?
Just make it complete by wearing a birthday crown!
Any of these things I would definitely promote.
But wait? You say none of them float your boat?…
 Everything will be okay, you can do as YOU please
It’s all up to you because you’re seriously the bees knees!
I thought about getting you another potato off the floor,
But luckily for you, I’m not in Thatcher anymore!
So my birthday wish is simply this,
Have an enjoyable year full of good times and bliss!
Because you definitely deserve the best my friend,
Always thinking of others & giving a hand to lend.
With you many good times seem to roll,
& funny things happen – quite the opposite of dull.
Now today on this anniversary of your birth
I’ll shout out loud to my favorite dallin brown on this earth!
Happy Birthday Dallin!

Nicole Baldwin 2011


Oh Nicole, My dearest Nicole!!
I love you with my whole entire soul!
I am so happy that we did meet,
Because being with you is always a treat!
Even when sitting in that old anatomy lab,
or watching movies and playing games like mad gab!
Oh remember when you started a water fight?!
It was awesome! You made the end of that semester just right!
Lots of nights we were up late talking,
Laughing and storytelling, but definitely not facebook stalking! ;)
You my friend are great &I love you much!
That is why I wish you a happy birthday full of good times and such!
Today, I wish you an oh so happy life
Full of wonderful bliss and rid of strife!
Because that’s what you deserve my friend!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! The end!

Malerie Burr 2011


Mal Pal!
Rumor has it today’s the big 1-8!
So I’ll do my best to make it exceptionally great!!
In fact, I’ll deem today “The Big Malerie Fest!”
Because you my dear cousin, deserve the best!
Remember a long time ago, when I beat Tara in being your biggest fan?!
That still applies today – I’m starting the I <3 Malerie clan!
You’re a beautiful lass with a genuine smile,
& a talented pianist who runs many a mile!
Also a sweet & kind miss, the peacemaker sort..
With a personality so radiant, you’ve got the boys lining up, waiting to court!
I love you Malerie, have a wonderful day!
I get to see you in a couple weeks – hip hip hurray!!
Happt Birthday Malerie!!! :)

Cynthia Judd 2011


Oh Cynthia Joyce Judd
I am really glad that you are my bud!
Because you fill my soul with happiness and delight,
So I better be seeing you soon!... and that better be alright!!
There have been some times when we’ve done crazy things,
& I can hardly wait to see what the future brings!
Sometimes we meet creepy men or study at the river,
Sometimes we chalk parking lots and draw snakes that slither.
Although they’re fun, late nights don’t always do us well
We cut hair by moonlight and eat superfries… those never make us feel swell.
But whatever we do, we always have a good time
Even when we were both gimpy and wanted to die!
Now today there is an excellent thing to do..
& that’s celebrate the wonderful woman that is you!
3 cheers to the lass who is always happy
The one who makes everyone feel good – even when they were feeling crappy.
Cynthia’s the name and she’s truly awesome!
A pretty girl who lets her beauty blossom!
I love you Cynthia, now party hard!
Have a wonderful day & don’t get marred!
I wish you the bets with a future quite bright!
Do something fun… like maybe fly a kite?!

Megan Haymore 2011

It was 20 years ago; in a land not so far away
A spectacular event occurred, making it a wonderful day!
October 13.. hmm… does it ring a bell?
OH YES! Miss Megan Haymore was born - & all was well!
A gift to the earth, beauty to the eye-
She’s one of my favorite people & that’s no lie.
With a smile so radiant and a personality so great-
She’s always a joy to be around – even when traveling on the interstate!
She’s the kindest little thing – always caring about everyone she meets!
She’s musically talented & a beautiful baker – always making yummy treats!
Sometimes she’s cool, calm, & collected – while other times she’s just straight crazy!
We always have a great time - even late at night when our memory gets hazy!
We’ve floated down the canal in the day & in the dark of the night...
& had a dress-up dance party in the kitchen – oh what a disturbing sight.
We’ve found a humongous turtle and colored Easter Eggs..
Everything with her is always a blast – oh I love you Megs!
Today’s your birthday so let’s sing and shout!
Make a wish and it’ll come true – of that there is no doubt!
Party hard and do a little dance...
It’s only your birthday once in a year… so don’t miss your chance!
I wish I could see you in Thatcher’s cottony glory,
But alas, I’m stuck on Mesa’s hot summery floory!
So believe me when on facebook I’m left to say…
I love you lots and hope you have a most delightsome day!!

Seriously so blessed 2011


We were all sent to this earth trailing clouds of glory,
Trying to find perfection in the final chapter of our story.
This journey is shaping my character day by day.
Eternal life is my goal – and it’s not too far away.
Sometimes I’m needed to go to great lengths
To become better & make my weaknesses strengths.
Some days are easy, while others seem hard
I’m trying to stay focused and completely unmarred.
Life trudges on.. am I doing my best?
Then something happens and I’m put to the test.

It didn’t fair out like I wanted it to
I got caught up in the moment, my focus askew.
I said some things I already regret,
I’m sinking deeper and deeper into the Lord’s merciful debt.
I began to feel hopeless, but Lord you can foresee,
Will I ever become who you want me to be?

I pray for strength as tears well up in my eye,
I remember His words, “Things will get better as long as you continue to try.
Struggles will come but they will not last
Come to me honestly & agree to stay steadfast.
I am completely aware; I will not leave you alone.
It’s all part of the plan, that’s why I was sent to atone.
It’s not always easy, mistakes will be made
But turn to me and I will give thee aid.”

These words rush to my mind leaving a feeling of peace
He really was with me - making all of my doubts cease.
I feel so much emotion; it's hard to find rest.
It hits me again, i'm seriously so blessed.
I'm here on this earth with everything I need to succeed;
Prayer, the scriptures, & a loving prophet to heed.
I have a savior who knows me & lovingly understands my plea.
Ok, I really can do anything. Thanks for helping me see.

Tara Allen 2011


Tara my sweet, you are my cousin.
& I love you so much – like infinity times a dozen!
So today on this birthday of yours,
I’d like to fly to you and do all of your chores!
Unfortunately this can’t be done
But it’s not because I’m trying to shun!
It’s because we live so many miles away.
Thank Goodness I got to see you on Labor day!
Because being with you is a joy and delight
In fact, you keep my eyes shining bright.
With your witty remarks & endless movie quoting..
Cousin who knows the most lyrics? You definitely win that voting!!
Together we’ve had good times aplenty.
And to think.. it all happened before you were one plus twenty!
Remember flowers, babies, & gypsies as a child?
Or how about the many times on the couch we dogpiled?
We’ve sat in the back of Grandpa’s truck driving down the long, dusty country roads.
Set off fireworks in the driveway & even tried to talk in codes!
Family reunions are always a highlight of the summer.
But that one time in LOA when you got sick – yep, that was a bummer!
Maybe it was too much cookie dough that we ate..
While talking about boys and staying up late!
Thanksgivings at Grandma’s house are definitely the best!
With risk, rook, football ‘n food, & this family filled with zest!
So many times we saw Harry Potter in the cramped, gross then refinished theater.
It was always fun…. Even that one time in 20 degrees with a broken heater!
Sometimes we go to Tricia’s in hot, dry mesquite..
We laugh, tell stories, & take tons of pictures – the perfect cousin’s retreat!
Oh! And Aubry’s surprise party after the day at lagoon
Then we slept on the tramp in the ground – the perfect way to end that June!
Ha, and that time everyone came to play games in your backyard,
Then we dressed up in red & tried to sing & act proper – that was WAY too hard!
Remember when we ran that 4th of July race?
Then later that day filled up balloons and threw them at the runners on first base!
Or the time with Kyle and Matthew – up the canyon we went.
We played games and made spritey cobbler, definitely time well spent!
Remember that night we were awakened to the aroma of donuts frying,
We wanted to help, but Trish and Jeremy were not complying!
Oh and the wonderful times down Otter Creek..
We got roasted and met Phooey – a trip quite unique.
We’ve started words of the day and become connoisseurs..
Maybe our next step will be entrepreneurs!
Or maybe we should stick with parade planners-
We are pretty good at making banners!
I could go on forever and ever – there are plenty more!
& the best part is THERE ARE EVEN MORE IN STORE!!
That fact is just music to my ears…
And if you don’t have a good birthday… it will bring me to tears!!
So cut the cake, blow the candles, and make a wish!
Kyle, Rachel or your roommates will make you something delish!! ;)
Then party hard and celebrate lots!
Run around in circles while eating dipping dots!
I love you mucho and that’s a fact!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday… and don’t get whacked!

Marcus Fenn 2011


Another year has passed, it’s BIRTHDAY time again!
Do something crazy – don’t just sit at home watching ESPN.
This day is FAR too great for that!!
Sing a song, do a dance while wearing a homemade foil hat!
That is a quality thing to do…
So is dressing up as the characters in Winnie the Pooh!
Eeyore in particular – it will hardly be a disguise…
Ok, I’m making fun of you again… but is that a surprise?
You’re the master of that I would definitely say
But of course I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Alas, it’s still your birthday so we must celebrate!
3 cheers for the one known as Marcus the great!
Oh dear we must be aware of the inflatable head!
Just kidding!! I really meant what I previously said!
The sarcastic king you have become
I’m still glad to have you as a chum!
Many many times funny and witty words have left your lips..
Leaving us laughing so hard we can’t get to grips.
It’s safe you you’re a kind and clever chap
And the one who teaches how to properly snap!
Now for this birthday make a wish -
And hopefully it doesn’t have to do with killing fish.
If I were you I’d wish to get gain..
in the Disney section, so an amateur you don’t remain! :)
Haha, Marcus I hope you have a wonderful day!
May the good times last till you’re old and in need of a toupee! 

Decisions, Decisions 2011


I’m living my life, just trying to get by
Setting goals, trying to aim high.
I was sent to this earth with a specific mission in store,
But there are so many decisions to be made, I’m trying to find the right door.
The one that will open up the path that I need to take
Luckily my Savior is here and will not forsake.
People are here to give me suggestions..
But they still leave me with so many questions!
What should I do? Where should I go? Is this the right choice??
But it’s never too long before He urges me on with the still small voice.
Always a quiet feeling – gentle and subtle
But sent from heaven, so there will be no rebuttal.
A leap of faith He doth require,
Although long and hard, it will help me aspire!

Then there are days when my doubts start to flare
Down to my knees I go, starting a prayer.
That feeling I had, did it come from Thee?
Or just the confused, answer-hungry head of me?

For SUSY 2011


I have this friend - Susy's the name..
The more I got to know her, the funnier she became.
Sometimes she likes to make fun,
& she never leaves a joke undone
Yet, somehow she never manages to get the blame
.

One time together we found a beaver!
But it was hard to find a single believer!
Everyone thought we were making it up,
So we went on a quest to see it close-up!
We tried making beaver calls but just sounded like ms. Leaver.

A little later, neighbors were we!
It was the best of times – don’t you agree?!
We played and made noise through the wall,
With Brooklyn you almost had a brawl.
& it was all I could have dreamed it to be!

Right now this great friend I dearly miss…
Because being with her is similar to bliss!
Even if it’s just watching Bones,
Or going to the river to throw stones.
Another visit I definitely permiss!! :) :)

For MEGAN 2011


There is this sweet, lovely blonde miss..
Being with her is the definition of bliss!
She has a personality so great,
Always making you feel top-rate!
& we can sit for hours and reminisce!

Megan’s the name and she’s my favorite!
If I don’t see her soon I’m gonna throw a fit!
I’m sitting here impatiently tappin’
Waiting for the day I can make this happen
And it better be lickety split!

Idaho convincing :) 2011


Once upon a time there were 2 little ladies
They met in highschool and became the best of buddies.
Together they had the finest of times,
They even tried to save up a few dimes,
So they could go off to Thatcher and further their studies.

Thatcher was OH SO good for them!
Even though they both had to suffer through chem..
Sleepovers & dance parties they had..
They saw each other through the good and the bad..
& usually ended up talking till 2 in the am!

Some thought their friendship dwindled,
But looking back I think it really kindled..
They helped each other through it all,
They really had a ball..
& from the Chinese Disney dvds they weren’t swindled!

Now, in Thacher the brunette doth remain,
While the other is left in Mesa with a rotting brain,
Waiting for the day they will be united
So again she will be delighted
 & rid of the lonely, friendless pain!

Now wait! The brunette put in idea in red’s head.
Her face lit up as soon as it was said!
“Oh hey to Idaho I did apply”
The wonderful times won’t end.. oh my!!
“Please come freeze with me” red pled.

Sometimes little red has common sense..
If you come to Idaho our happiness would be so immense!
I need you and you need me..
THIS IS SOMETHING EVEN THE BLIND COULD SEE!
So say yes now and stop this suspense!

Let’s think back on the good times we’ve had
I sure think there are more to add!
Bigger and better things are to come,
& It would be so much easier with our dearest of chum,
In fact, without… it would just be plain bad!

Red needs brunette who understands
And listens as she goes through all life’s demands..
Brunette musn’t worry, Thatcher taught red a lot
And so focused on herself she will be NOT!
So let’s end this deal with a shake of the hands.

Brunette’s leaning towards Idaho.. at least that’s my bet!
Once that leaning is made solid we’ll be all set!
Red Says .. brunette’s decision she’ll allow…
Just remember.. I really don’t want to say ciao!
Ok I’m done.. have I convinced you yet?? :)

Kacey Bock 2011


To the wonderful and awesome Kacey Bock:
I love you lots and right now your name I will not mock!
For there are far better things to attend to..
Like expressing birthday wishes to a lass like YOU!
21 years, you’re freaking old…
Good thing you don’t always have to act it.. at least that’s what I’m told!
Pretty soon you’ll leave AZ and become Cali bound!
We’ll miss you everyday till another road trip comes around!
You see, we can’t be far from you for very long,
before our hearts start to break and out comes a sappy love song!
To our dearest friend always ready for a good time
To be away from you should certainly be a crime!
Because being with you is always jolly and swell!
Even that time in Raegan’s apartment when you slipped and fell! ;)
Remember all the times down the canal we went??
Then to the Thing & Laser Tag?! – definitely time well spent!!
A Disney scene it champ and marijuana expert you are,
As well as a magician and kite maker – although it didn’t go far!
You keep us laughing every single day..
With your crazy youtube finds and the things that you say!
You’re always willing to try new things – a quality I greatly admire..
Even smoking matches and burning your hair with fire! ;)
Everything done with you is sure to be a blast!
Which is why I wish it wasn’t all in the past!
Oh but wait, this subject is still taboo!
I guess it’s not yet time to bid adieu! :)
For now we’ll just stick with a solid happy birthday wish!
To my favorite Kacey… the one who USED to own fish!
I love you a whole heaping lot! Happy birthday Kacey Bock!!

Jannae Jestes 2011


Jannae: Another year down, you're on a roll!
Pretty soon you'll be all old, wrinkly, & dull.
That is my oh so terrible way..
Of saying happy birthday today!
Ha, just kidding - young, beautiful & spry you are
And will probably always stay – unless you get hit by a car.
Oh freak, I did it again!
Let me start over – with a different pen.
I love you Jannae – oh so very much!
For anyone to have a good time, you are definitely clutch!
It’s always a joy to be in your presence,
You constantly make us laugh with all of your nonsense! :)
Witty comments you commonly utter,
And to a great many people – there is nothing better!
Now unfortunately for me,
To the freezing cold NAU you did flee.
So I’m left in the Jannae-less Mesa,
To continue to miss your beautiful face-a!
Pity party over – it’s time to celebrate!
Jannae is 19 and still really great!
Bake a cake, do a dance, and sing a song!
Just make the birthday celebrations last extremely long!
It’s not everyday you turn the big 1-nine!
So let’s all take a toast to Jannae – who is simply divine!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOMAN! :):)

Remembering {9/11/01} ten years later


10 whole years it has been,
Since that awful day when many lost kin.
The twin towers were struck and eventually fell,
Trapping many, so claustrophobic they couldn’t even yell.
Terrorists were here invading our country
Commandeering airplanes and responsible for the deaths of so many.
The pentagon also was a hijacker’s hit target,
Making this day one we won’t soon forget.
Thousands of innocent lives were lost and countless more injured-
So sudden it happened, leaving a sweet, final goodbye completely unheard.

Another plane was taken, but the intended location a mystery.
Because those courageous passengers tried to take back the plane and avoid further treachery.
A Pennsylvania field is where they took their final breath-
But because of their bravery, they saved many from blameless death.
Heroes they are and will forever remain
Along with the many police officers and firefighters who went in unnamed.
Many went into the rubble, though not all came out
But their valor is still recognized – of that there is no doubt.

The nation was shocked, glued to the TV;
“Are we being attacked?” “How could this be??”
We united as one, together we’ll conquer
We looked to our nations strong past for a firm, sturdy anchor.
We’ve overcome so much, we’ll do it again!
We’re the United States of America and our land we’ll defend!
We’ve had God on our side, he understands our plea,
Our freedoms are needed, something He has helped us see.

As of today, a decade’s gone by
We remember that September morning when so much went awry.
There’s a prayer in our hearts to those who lost their lives,
Along with their children, friends, husbands and wives.
And all those affected – the numbers are great
This day will forever hold an emotional weight.
But we will also relish in our American pride
Our nation-giving liberties are something wanted worldwide!
We’re a blessed people, given so much!
So many people have and continue to fight to make it such!
Because of that I love this land!
No matter you’re ideologies, united we stand!
We’re the U S of A, we’re determined to win!
Simply put, I’m proud to be an American!

Rachel Gunderson 2011


18 wonderful years it has been,
Since you were born and we officially became kin.
A myriad of good times we definitely have had,
From spoon feeding baby food, to dress-up, and starting the “no wearing clothes” fad.
Then came playing irrigation softball, and doing tricks in the pool;
Pretending to be asleep and walking to school.
No matter what it was, it was sure to be a blast!
Although sometimes I think it happened way too fast!
Welcome to adulthood, isn’t it fun?!
Before too long your highschool career will be done!
This is something right now you think you fear,
But when it comes, WAY better things will be near!
But alas, today’s your birthday! it’s time to celebrate!
Let’s cut the cake now before it’s too late!
A birthday comes only once in a year.
So let’s party hard, all night till September tenth is here!
Gather your friends ‘round and around..
Because with them fun times are always bound!
Do something crazy, end it with style!
Maybe learn to juggle or do the locomotion on tile!
Whatever it is make it fun like playing twister!
Because you definitely deserve it my beautiful sister!!
                Love you, Rachel! Happy birthday!!



Jake Hicks 2011


Happy Birthday Jake!!!
I think it's about time you get a pet snake!
Oh wait, those things are way too slimy and gross...
And sometimes they smell bad so you have to plug your nose!
Hmm yep, I change my mind! That present would just not be suitable…
To a great lad like you.. me suggesting that is mighty unthinkable!
You deserve the best of the best of the best!
Because in my eye you definitely passed the test!
Of being a mighty cool, funny, and thoughtful fellow!
Now for this birthday let’s celebrate with a cake topped with marshmallow!
Or anything else, it really doesn’t matter..
As long as your happy and excited and involved in your family chit-chatter!
Happy birthday Jake, make it mighty and swell!
If you really wanna, “IT’S Y BIRTHDAY” you should yell! :)
And if it’s a pet snake you really really want..
I guess I would be wrong with what I previously thought!
So forget about this, do as you please!
You deserve the best because you’re seriously the bees knees! :)

Ashley Camille 2011

Ashley Camille, Ashley Camille,
You're about to read a rhyme so please sit still.
It's now 18 years that you've existed
I'm really glad I know you - & those words are not twisted!
You spice up my life whenever you're around
A witty comedian in you i’ve also found!
I’m so happy we’ll always be kin,
Because that means I get to see you every Thanksgiving din-din!!
Your music videos seriously rock...
Especially when it’s a boy you’re trying to mock!
18 years, you’re all grown up!
Moved out of the house, now forced to wash your own cups!
The first family cougar in our generation,
workin’ hard to someday have a great vocation!
I hope this birthday finds you happy and well!
I guess I could just call you – Thanks to Alexander Bell!
I’ll trust you’re partyin’ hard and celebratin’ lots!
Go to Sonic and partake of the tater tots!
It’s your special day, do something fun!
It doesn’t even matter if you leave your homework undone ;)
I love you Ash, have a marvelous day!
Happy Happy Birthday i am more than excited to say! :)

Arielle Haban 2011

Happy Birthday beautiful Arielle!
I love you more than words can tell!
I loved you when Mecham was how your name was read,
I love you now that Haban is more commonly said.
Sometimes I really just want to see your face
But then I remember… you’re in a different place.
Dan and Texas are what took you so far away.
Then to Utah you’ll go so “I’m a nurse” you’ll be able to say.
The Thatcher times have come and gone…
Fortunately, many good times were had with memories fond!
That’s simply because you’re always ready to have a good time!
Going on THE WALK with you was worth more than a dime!
A genuine woman I’ve always seen in you,
And also a fierce crawdad fisher, you’ve caught a great slew!
Arielle, you’re awesome and that’s a fact!
If anyone thinks otherwise, they’re obviously wack!
Have a wonderful day, partake of some cake!
Blow out the candles and wish something all for your sake!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIELLE!!!

Kelsey Brown 2011


Kelsey Kae, hmm what should I say?
It appears to be your birthday today!
The big 2-0 you have become
And I am quite proud to call you my chum!
Party hard and celebrate lots
Maybe even try pounding on pots!
Let the world know what day it is,
So they can be merry & happy and drink pop with the fizz.

It’s not every day we get to commemorate this mademoiselle
Who is wonderfully awesome – that’s easy to tell.
There’s always a smile genuinely upon your face
Down in the dumps? NO! That’s never the case!
You’re the sweetest chica I ever did meet!
Always kind and sincere, now that’s a great feat!             
To Idaho, in the future we’ll probably go…
To have the time of our lives and freeze in the snow.
It will be a grand adventure for sure
Although our most-used word will turn into “Burrrrrrrrr!!!!”

Now today when you get out of bed,
It’s off to Mexico to honor the sister recently wed.
But we must not forget about you
The one that is twenty now, it’s true
While off you go to that homey homeland,
We’ll be thinking of you…the really great fraaaaaand.
Love you Kelsey! Happy Birthday!! :)

Shelby Sherwood 2011


Shelby dear Shelby! Its birthday time!
Now you will find yourself reading this rhyme.
Woman, you’re awesome and that’s no lie
If I was in snowflake I’d bake you a pie!
The birthday kind, filled with lots of love;
Made from yours truly, not a flying dove.
But alas, in Mesa I do remain
So this little ode will have to accomplish the same.
Expressing my birthday wishes to a lass muy delightful and oh so witty:
When story time comes, laughter explodes… and not in spite of pity
You’re a little comedian with colorful tales
Hmmm maybe we should go swimming with whales!
That could be our next adventure,
But maybe not till we’re old and wearing dentures.
Remember how you were going to teach me how to rope?
But probably I’ll just end up looking like a dope!
That talent is all yours my friend
Along with many others…. You don’t have to pretend!
Shelby, have a wonderful day!
Party hardy and sculpt in some clay!
You’re simply great and that’s easy to see
Don’t forget about me when you’re in Vegas baby!
Happy Birthday Shelbs!

Raegan Elmer 2011


·         Raegan oh Raegan, you're birthday has come
Now it's time to go get some! :)
That's always a fun thing to do...
It's WAY better than being stuck in goo!
I miss you a lot times a lot...

Without you I just want to sit here and rot.

I love you a lot and that’s a fact!
Seeing you is something I have lately greatly lacked!
Let’s fix this soon
And maybe sing a tune.
Because Raegan is twenty
And just a little bit runty!

April Pollock 2011


 Your birthday: at last it has finally come,
How many have you had? It seems to be a great sum.
In other words, i'm saying you're old..
but that is something you dont have to be told!
You can figure that one out all by yourself...
20 is old... even if you are an elf!
But alas, that is something you are not
Unless you’re in hiding, trying not to be caught!
That would be funny... and I would still be your friend
To your rescue, myself I would send!
The moment of truth, it needs to be now!
Are you really an elf? Or maybe a cow?!
Haha just kidding, those things I don’t think!
But what I do know is that you love PINK!
April, you’re awesome and really smart!
Something that’s big is definitely your heart!!
Dang gorgeous is something you ALWAYS are..
And I love dancing with you in the car!
Happy Birthday, girl! I love you lots!
Even more than Sonic’s tater tots!
Have a good day, eat lots of cake..
Celebrate with lots of people, jump in a lake!
Or don't... because you can do whatever you want!
If it's your desire, be a debutant!
That could be funny,
You could make some money..
But whatever, just have a great day!
Let nothing stand in the way!

Cori Thomas 2011


Cori my beautiful, your birthday has come
Now that you're 16, GO GET SOME!
Just kidding, I don't approve of that advice
I don't want you to end up living with mice!
That didn't make any sense, but that's okay...
BECAUSE IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!   
Don’t forget to party hard and live it up
Eat lots of cakes and drink from a cup...
Make it fun and keep it real.
I’ll even let you know how I feel     
You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
When it comes to talents, you’re the queen
I miss you lots and that’s a fact
It’s being in your presence I feel lately I have lacked
You’re the best and always make me smile
You’re closer to my heart than stomach bile
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN AMAZING COUSIN
I LOVE YOU A LOT... TIMES FOUR DOZEN!
