SWEET SIXTEEN......JACEY!!!!

Our little girl Jacey is 16 years old....I just can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday when she was running around the house in some crazy outfit she put together from the dress up clothes with her beautiful blue eyes and her strawberry blonde hair. Singing a little song to herself and reading books.

Jacey has always LOVED books and reading and school. She has always done well learning. She is an incredible writer too. She doesn't let too many people read her poems or her writing, but when you are lucky enough too, it's pretty incredible.

Jacey has such a tender heart and is so good with animals and kids. They love her. Our little dog Joonie whines at her door when she is gone and we can usually find her curled up on Jacey's lap.

Jace has a great sense of humor and usually has me laughing at something...even if it is her one liner texts with lines from Monte Python or Benchwarmers.

Nate started throwng a ball to Jacey in my parents back yard on the day after my mom's funeral and he is a coach of the girls softball over in Payson. He turned to me and said..."You should get this kid playing ball"...we did, and she got to go down and play for Nate and has NEVER stopped. She is a natural athlete, and it is so much fun watching her play. She did play soccer and basketball on teams as well, but her true love is SOFTBALL!! She plays a mean football and wished they had football for girls...her Jr. High band teacher bragged to everyone about how good of a football player Jace is when they play as a class. Oh I love to watch her play, it is so much fun to see how quick her mind thinks out there, when my natural reaction would be to run and hide from balls, players or anything coming towards me. She is not afraid to slide, crash and burn and I have cleaned many a blood stain from her uniforms. ( SEE JACEY...I didn't call it your costume...are you proud??)

She LOVES music and you can usually bet she has her ipod earphones on or her stereo blasting in her room. She plays the trombone in band and is very good. She also has a great voice IF you can get her to sing for you.

Jacey is such a beautiful girl, inside and out, and I am so proud of her. She is sporting a "discoball hair style right now, where last month it was blue hair. She can pull these off because of her beautiful face.



WE LOVE YOU SWEET SIXTEEN!!
