Happy Birthday ANNIE!



It's that time again. Annie just (on March 7th) turned 15 years old!
Hard to believe she's 15 eh?


Here are 15 reasons why I LOVE Miss Annie Jones Fletcher King (self named)

1. Annie is hilarious! No really you don't get it. She is really ridiculously funny.
Por ejemplo...

When my dad first started dating his new wife Annie asked him if he was coming to her choir concert. He said yes and that Dianne was coming too. Annie leaned over to me and behind her hand said, "Uh-oh. Incoming."

The other day she said this while hugging the cat. "Oh Jane I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?" And then she proceeded to sing from "Just Friends"
"Forgiveness...is more than saying sorry."

2. Annie LOVES Disney channel. She can quote anything that's from "Hannah Montana", "The Suite Life of Zac and Cody", "Wizards of Waverly Place" or "Sonny with a Chance". She is so good at memorizing what the characters say we have seriously considered asking Disney Channel to start embedding things we need Annie to memorize into their shows like the Young Women's theme or the Articles of Faith so she can start quoting those things instead of the random lines from the TV shows.

3. Annie is an amazing dancer. She can shake it like nobodies business. She loves to come up with choreography and to tell everyone where they should be and what to do.

4. Annie also loves to teach people how to dance. If you're ever bored on a Saturday night and want some entertainment, come to our house and watch Annie teach me how to dance. Its like watching Justin Timberlake try to teach Steve Urkle. Kind of pathetic.

5. When Annie grows up she wants to be famous, a teacher, and a dress designer. She doesn't want to be a famous teacher or a famous dress designer. Just famous for being famous. Watch out Paris Hilton.

6. Annie loves America's Next Top Model. Tyra Banks is her idol and she has a FIERCE runway walk. Ask her. She would love to show you.

7. Annie is a great reader. Right now she is reading Twilight because "Edward is SO romantic" her words not mine.

8. Annie loves to learn. She is a fantastic student and always wants to get straight A's. If you want her to do well you just tell her that she needs to get an A and she will do the best she can. She loves to talk about school especially the units her amazing teacher Mrs. Schulte puts together. Right now she is learning about the human body and her favorite thing is to tell you about all of the different systems in the body and what they do. She retains so much of the knowledge she learns is science and loves learning it.

9. Annie is super excited to turn 16. She has been talking about turning 16 since she was 13. It started out with..."Next year I turn 14, then next year I turn 15, then after that when I'm 16 I'm going to go on a date and get driving lessons." Now that she is 15 she reminds us every day that she is almost 16 and that soon she can go on dates.

10. Annie is an amazing swimmer. She loved doing swim team at Mesa High last semester and really had a great time with all of the other swimmers. She is a really great at freestyle!

11. Annie really likes to learn sign language. She is going to take it at Mesa High next year and she is already practicing out of her sign book so she will be ready to go. She thinks it is so fun to talk to people by signing.

12. Annie is the most polite girl you will ever meet. She always says "please", "thank-you", "you're welcome", and "bless you" when she needs to. She is so nice to be with because she is always so polite.

13. Annie always compliments whoever makes the dinner. It can be macaroni and cheese and she will tell you that you are the bomb.com because it was the best food she has ever had. She seriously makes you feel so amazing because she always tells you whatever you made was fabulous.

14. Annie is afraid of our chickens. If you want to give her a heart attack you will make her go outside and feed them. She really freaks out if she thinks they are chasing her.
Annie+petting chickens = not friends
Annie+ eating chicken = best friends


15. Most of all we love Annie because she is such a sweetheart. There is a reason we have Annie is my BFF! bumper stickers. She always tells her friends that they are her BFF. Annie is great at complimenting others and is very in tune with others feelings. She is always concerned with how others feel and wants everyone to be happy. I love having Annie around. She really is my BFF! (shh don't tell Devin)

Happy Birthday Annie! We love you!!!
