Happy Birthday to AnnaMarie and Rebecca

 Dear Friends,

Yesterday AnnaMarie turned nineteen years old, whilst little sister Rebecca turned six.

It's always fun having a birthday twin, they tell me!

 To celebrate, we had a picnic and boat ride at a local nature area. It was perfect weather for an outing.

Little Hyrum tried catching a fish without a hook, but Evangeline was the one who was successful at catching a couple of minnows by hand~

Later on, we went to Grandpa's for dinner and cake, and then we had another gingerbread cake at home today. I think that's enough cake for now!

  Before long, AnnaMarie will fly from the nest, and little Rebecca might not always get to celebrate  with her birthday twin. May these times be cherished memories for them, always.

Love, Marqueta

Now We Are Six

When I was one

I had just begun.

When I was two

I was nearly new.

When I was three

I was hardly me.

When I was four

I was not much more.

When I was five

I was just alive.

But now I am six,

I'm as clever as clever.

So I think I'll be six

Now and forever.
