THE BIG 16.....I WONDER WHO HER FIRST DATE WILL BE WITH?

 I CAN JUST HEAR WHAT JANESSA WILL SAY WHEN SHE READS THE HEADLINE.....SHE WILL SAY, "OH MY" AND BLUSH......WE LOVE YOU LOU!

I THINK SHE IS THINKING...OH MY...IN THIS PICTURE OF HER WITH SAVAHANA.  SHE HAS STARTED TO DO HER MAKEUP FOR HER ON NIGHTS SHE DANCES WITH THE DRILL TEAM AND SHE IS GOOD AT MAKEUP.

JANESSA IS A CERTIFIED LIFE GUARD AND WORKED AT THE MANTI POOL (LONG HOURS) ALL SUMMER.  SOON SHE WILL START TO WORK AT SNOW COLLEGE AS A LIFE GUARD.  I WISH ALL OF MY GRANDKIDS COULD SWIM LIKE HER.  MANTI DOESN'T HAVE A SWIM TEAM AND THAT IS SAD BECAUSE SHE WOULD BE SO GOOD.

UNWRAPPING PRESENTS GOT A SMILE FOR THE CAMERA...SHE LOOKS SO CUTE IN EVERYTHING SHE WEARS.

JANESSA IS NOT ONLY AN EXCELLENT STUDENT.....SHE IS SO ARTISTIC.  MADELYN LOVES PENQUINS SO SHE DREW THIS PICTURE FOR MADELYN FOR CHRISTMAS.....AMAZING!!!!

THIS IS A HARD POST FOR ME TO WRITE WITHOUT CRYING BECAUSE THESE TWO ARE BEST FRIENDS AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHERS BACKS.  IT'S NOT LIKE ALLIE IS WILL BE GOING THAT FAR WHEN SHE GRADUATES....AND THEY STILL HAVE TRACK TO DO TOGETHER.......BUT THEY REALLY LOVED PLAYING SOCCER TOGETHER.  NEVER ANY JEALOUSY.....ONLY CHEERING SO HARD FOR EACH OTHER AND BEING THERE FOR EACH OTHER.  IT WAS TRULY A JOY TO WATCH THEM PLAY TOGETHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER.  MANY TIMES THE YOUNGER SIBLING IS JEALOUS....BUT NOT JANESSA.  SHE HAS A HEART WITH THE PURE LOVE OF CHRIST.  

ANOTHER THING THAT JANESSA IMPRESSES ME WITH IS HOW STRONG SHE IS IN KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS AND HELPING HER MOM.  SHE IS LIKE ANOTHER MOTHER IN THEIR FAMILY.  SHE IS GOOD TO HER PARENTS, SIBLINGS, AND CHOOSES HER FRIENDS VERY WISELY.  SHE IS PURE THROUGH AND THROUGH.

SHE IS THE ONE IN THEIR HOUSE THAT WILL USUALLY ANSWER HER PHONE.  THEN I WILL SAY SOMETHING TO HER TO MAKE HER SAY,"OH MY" BECAUSE I KNOW SHE IS SMILING WHEN SHE SAYS THAT.  WHAT A GIRL.  I MAY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO EMBARASS HER A FEW TIMES BUT SHE ALWAYS FORGIVES ME......SHE NEVER IS MAD AT ME....AND I KNOW SHE LOVES ME AS MUCH AS I LOVE HER......TO THE MOON AND BACK.  I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE 16 BUT I HOPE THIS DAY IS SPECIAL AND YOU HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.  LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!
