Happy Sweet 16 Rylee!


I can't believe that 16 years ago we became parents for the first time. Wednesday, February 24 ( exactly 3 weeks early) at 5:26pm.She weighed 7 lbs.15oz. and was 20 in.
In what seems to be just a few short years, she has grown into a beautiful young woman. In honor of the sweet 16, her family would like to list 16 reasons we love her and have some fun with old pictures.
1. She's our first born
2. She's loving

3. She's the best babysitter
4. She has a beautiful singing voice

5. She has a true love of the Gospel
6. She has confidence to be herself

7. She plays golf
8. She strives to improve her talents

9. She is forgiving
10. She's always willing to serve others

11. She's honest
12. She loves being a big sister ( don't mess with her siblings)

13. She is a positive and happy person
14. She talks kindly about others whether they are around or not

15. She always tries her best
16. She is a great example to our family

We love you Rylee! Have fun at Disneyland with Aunt Amy
