Happy Birthday Jamie!

   
I can't believe you're 16.  
   
Angie and Alana did some great birthday post with lots of pictures so I don't want to compete.  I'm taking a different approach.   We've gone to some neat places together over your 16 years.   (Unfortunately I only have pictures since we got our first digital camera.)
   
Thought I would share some pictures to remind you of some of these places.
  
Utah  2003
(Notice the shirt she's wearing)
    
Disneyland 2004
   
Disneyland 2004
(notice the shirt she's wearing)
      
The Calgary Stampede 2004 
(Could it be the same shirt?)
    
Banff 2004
(Notice what she's wearing)
   
The Logan's Pass in Montana (that's a huge dropoff to her right)
   
Shave Ice at Matsumoto's in Hawaii

(Pose based on picture of a famous Japanese movie star on the wall at Matsumoto's)
   
Hukilau Beach in Hawaii
    
Back to that shirt.   She did have other shirts but this seemed to be a favorite.  Here's a better picture of that shirt.  It says Basketball and it has a bunch of basketballs.   
(This picture is of Jamie and her friend Jessica at Disneyland - we just happened to run into her family there.  Another coincidence - Notice they are both wearing red shirts.  They also had matching shorts and shoes.)
  
Fast forward to Dec 2008.   Here's Jessica and Jamie at the airport going to a basketball tourney in Victoria. (Notice the matching outfits again.)


   Jamie played for the High School Jr. Girls team this year.   Her team made the Div 1 playoffs.   She did great.  I wish I had some good video of Jamie playing basketball but when I tried to video I got so much into watching the game that I would forget about the camera and would miss all the good stuff.   I have lots of video of Jamie driving or shooting but we don't see what happens.    Some time I'll have to figure out how to edit some of that video and post it so you can have a good laugh.   Here are some screen shots from the videos.


   
Jamie, you've always been original.
Love Dad
