Dearest Lindsey,I haven’t words to express the pride I feel in the young woman you have become. It seems like only yesterday you came into our lives, but soon you will be off to make your own way in the world. I wish for you all the success your mind can dream, all the love your heart can hold, and all the happiness your soul can contain. As you go forward always remember to be true, fair and forgiving, not only to others, but also to yourself. Never forget that your Mom and I are here for you, you are not alone. And lastly, call your father often! I love you, Dad

Trace, Wow, has time gone fast! I’m so lucky to have you as a brother. You are my best friend. You and I have been through it all. We have grown close, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. You are a great person, and I’m lucky to have you. Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me through everything. I will miss you very much, but I will always be here for you.

Love you,Callee

Trace,We are so incredibly proud of you! Wow has time flown by, from the binky days to soccer and baseball games to college visits it has been a wonderful journey! We were so blessed when you came into our lives and you have always brought us such great joy. We wish you all the best in all the adventures your life will bring, and we know that whatever you set your mind to, you will achieve. We will miss your smiling face and your sparkling blue eyes lighting up the room, Trace-man, we support you in your new chapter of life, and we are always here for you.

We love you dearly,Momma and Dad

Andrea,You are now officially done with high school and beginning the most important chapter of your life. Work hard, study hard and try to meet as many new people as you can. Even though you will be entering college and I will be leaving, I want you to know that I will always be here for you. I love you very much and want to be in your life as much as I can. Wherever life takes us we will always be sisters and that bond is unbreakable.

I love you little sister,Sara

Our love to you forever,Mom, Dad and Roxy Baby

Kaitlyn,

A senior at last! It seems you’ve been waiting for this year since the day you were born; always independent, always fol-lowing your own path, and always wanting to make your own rules. As you’ve become a young woman instead of a child, you’ve turned independence into strength, your own path into leadership, and your own rules into values and principles we respect and admire. Congratulations! We are all so proud of the woman you have become.

Love,Dad, Mom, Megan and Ryan

You’re gonna miss this.You’re gonna want this back.You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast.These are some good times,So take a good look around.You may not know it now,But you’re gonna miss this.”

Christopher,

It’s so hard for us to believe you are now graduating from high school; it was just yesterday that we took you to your first day of kindergarten! From then until now, watching you grow and become the wonderful young man that you are has been a true blessing.

Enjoy this next leg of your journey and know that we are here for you and wish you much love, happiness and success. We are, and have always been, so proud that you are our son!

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” Henry David Thoreau

It seems like only yesterday that we were admiring your artwork displayed in the grade school classroom or listening to one of your middle school concerts. High school came and went like a blur. Your volleyball games, track events and tennis matches always kept us hopping! It’s hard to believe you’re finally done - at the end of your SENIOR year. How exciting!

But really this is just the beginning as your life unfolds before you. Follow your heart and your dreams. Live in the moment but don’t forget to plan for your future.

WE LOVE YOU. Dad and Toye

Tabes,

Words can’t express the happiness, joy and pride that you have brought us. We are especially proud of the man you’ve become-a man whose heart is so big. A man who has a wonderful sense of humor-one that no doubt some of your teachers would have preferred to see a little less. A man who is competitive but level headed and keeps what’s most important in mind. A man who is a true and loyal friend and brother. We love you so much and are excited for this next chapter in your life.

Love,Dad, Mom, Cory and Chandler

A short 18 years ago we were given the gift of a lifetime, our first son. From that mo-ment we have treasured the time watching you grow into a caring, courageous man and being a part of your journey. You have a heart to help others and our hope is that all your dreams will come true. From the time you were a little boy you dreamed of being a firefighter and now you are taking the steps to make that dream come true. We know that you will succeed and make an incredible firefighter that is willing to always help others. In your heart always know that we love you, that we will stand by you, and that home is always home. As you have always said- “You only live once!” So go out and LIVE!

Haley,I am so proud of you! You are so thoughtful and caring. You are so beautiful and when you smile you can light up a room! You are becoming more responsible and making good decisions every day. I love your honesty and commitment to stand by your beliefs, even if it’s not the most popular idea at the time! Life is about choices and sometimes it’s hard to figure out the right answer. If you keep Jesus as your goal (people are imperfect!), you will always be headed in the right direction. It may not be obvious at the time, but it will be clear to you in the end! Always try to do what is right, not necessarily easy. Chase after your dreams with 100% dedication. Take risks, don’t be afraid to fail! Never be afraid to love someone. Never be afraid to care too much. I know you will do great things and I am so proud to be able to call you my daughter!! “For I can everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” -Philippians 4:13 (NLT)

Words cannot begin to express how proud we are of you. Seems like just yesterday, we were watching you from our back deck, playing on the kindergarten play-ground. We have watched you grow into a fine young man, who will make your own responsible decisions.

We have had great times over the years. including: us watching you play in numerous soccer games, going on awesome vacations, attending exciting sporting events, like the KU basketball and Chiefs football, and having family gatherings.

You have some remarkable goals and we don’t have any doubts that you will achieve them. Simply work hard, stay focused, stay true to yourself, and have fun while chasing your dreams. Don’t forget to enjoy life on your journey.

“A good life isn’t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away.”

Sara Hampton

Dear Aaron,The way you don’t let little things bother you and know how you attack all you encounter with a “can do”- “no problem attitude” will take you very far. It is wonderful to watch the enthusiasm you display when you are passionate about a new endeavor. The hard work ethic you demonstrate and your pre-severance will see you through almost any situation. God has a special plan for you and we can hardly wait to see it unfold. A perfect example of life through your eyes was the first year you attended your youth missions trip you volunteered to be your group director as a freshman. People explained to you this is usually done by someone older. Since you were up for the task, you completed it successfully that year and every year from then on. Con-tinue to keep the fun in everything you do!!! It is true, what is on the inside is what counts. If a person’s smile is a reflection of what is inside, yours lights up any room. Don’t ever let it fade. We could not be more proud of you!!

Love,Mom, Dad, and Courtney

Miranda Grace, Dee-Dah, Lo, Gracie -“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.” Singing to you as a baby, hearing you sing out for the first time, seeing how you love your brothers, watching you grow in your faith, sitting on bleachers for hours watching you play hard because that’s the only way you know how, butting heads, surviving hardships and this crazy family, worrying as you started driving, letting go as you spread your wings. What a ride it’s been! You are a beautiful young woman with a passionate and indomitable spirit which will take you far! Remember to keep your Faith, Family and Friends in your heart and you will never be alone. We love you and will always be here for you as you become the amazing person you were meant to be!

Dear Travis,It seems like only yesterday we brought you home to your three older siblings. We knew if you lived through your sister’s hugs and kisses and Kyle feeding you steak at seven months, you would grow to be strong, and you did.

Your patience comes from attending every school program, sporting games, 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts (everything times 4), starting at the age of 16 days. You learned to go early, often and fast. But most of all your caring spirit and heart comes from God. You have always been a voice for those who could not stand on their own. You have eyes that see need, a heart that feels for others and hands that take action.

Stay strong and loyal to your faith and always make decisions you can stand behind. We could not be more proud of the man you’ve become. May the road of life be a safe journey filled with God’s grace and mercy. We love you and are so proud to be your family!

Jerica, It seems like yesterday that we were bundling you up on a cold and snowy day and taking you home for the first time, or you were dancing in a cowboy hat for your first audience. You have accomplished so much in such a short time, and you have an exciting future ahead of you. We are so proud of you! Now is the time to enjoy the sense of accomplishment that is a result of years of having strong self-discipline and commitment to reach your goals. You are a wonderful daughter and sister and we love you very much!

Emilie,The first time we held you, we knew God blessed us with an amazing, beautiful “baby” girl. Thank you for the joy you have given to all of us. Your beautiful blue eyes and smile light up our lives. We love hearing you laugh and seeing your funny sense of humor. We are so proud of you. All you have accomplished was done with hard work and excel-lence. We love your passion for God. Our prayer for you as you go off to college is that God will guide, guard, direct and protect you. That HIS plan and purpose will be done in your life. Remember you will always be our baby!

Emilie - there has truly been no greater joy than to be the parents of you.Love you more! Dad, Mom and Brianna

To Our Daughter:

It seems just like yesterday,you came into our lives.Our hearts filled with joy;eyes tearful with pride.

The years passing by us so quickly,that we may have forgotten to convey,how proud we are of the beautiful young lady,you are today.

As you complete another milestone,and embark on something new,remember you have our support,and that we believe in you.

We’ll always cherish the memories,and continue to watch your life unfurl.And although you’re all grown up now,never forget you’ll always be our little girl.

Cassie, I look at your kindergarten picture and then to your senior picture. I am so proud of the young woman you have be-come. Every day of your life, I have been proud of you. You set your goals high and then reach them. This year when you decided to change almost everything in your life, I thought you had lost your mind. Now I realize how smart that was. You have gained so many new experiences by trying new things and by trying new sports.

You are an amazing daughter. Cassie, you are stretching yourself so much that I can see how much it hurts you, but you don’t give up, and then when you succeed, you don’t brag. When you were born I could not have listed more ideas of what I wanted for you to have for your life than the ones that you picked.

Madison, Our little Mavis,I will never forget the day...Matt was two and screaming to be fed, Kenz was a newborn screaming to be fed. You were hungry too, and I was out of hands and wits. Then, something magical happened. Your thumb found your mouth and kept me sane until you were five. Thank goodness you have always had an incredible sense of self and confidence (sometimes stubbornness) to do things your way.You are a loyal friend, dedicated student and athlete, loving, caring sister and amazing daughter. You have so much to offer all of the children that will be lucky enough to call you “Teacher.”Your beautiful smile will open many doors, and the people on the other side will be fortunate to know the brilliant young lady behind it. A simple smile from you brings happiness, excitement, serenity, courage, peace (and one cute dimple).Being the “middle child” just means that you are surrounded with love. Thank you for all the love and grace and pride you bring to our family.Love you,Mom and Dad

Love, Mom and Dad To my big sister:The one who laughed with me, cried with me, fought with me, and sometimes shared her things with me. You’re the best, usually. Just one question, you aren’t really going to leave me at home with only Mom and Dad are you?

Love, Haley

You’ve always had a smiling, happy, adventurous spirit. You always wanted to make sure that everyone was happy, so you would start laughing until everyone in the room was laughing right along with you.

When we took you skiing for the first time you flew right past us screaming, “Woohoo, I’m a rocket!” and never looked back. Now that you are at the summit, always remember we are still here supporting you, but it’s up to you where you land.

Congratulations!We love you so much,Mom & Dad

These attributes make you a wealthy young man. We are excited for you to share your wealth with the world. We wish you the very best with everything you do in life. We are so lucky to have you as our son. We are very proud of you!

I can’t believe we are writing your senior yearbook ad already. It seemed not long ago you were telling us that when you grow up you are going to live two houses down from us forever. You have made it through your high school years, conquered what most people will never know and you did it with determination and a positive attitude. For that, we consider you a hero! You have the biggest heart and contagious smile with that you can achieve your biggest dreams. I want you to know how very proud we are to say yes, that is our son! So with that we wish you the very best, stay strong, stay true and stay indestructible! We look forward to being your neighbor!

Love always,Brooke

Emily,You were the first great thing to happen in our lives. You made us a family and have been a source of love, joy and pride from the moment you ar-rived. The days of hand in hand walks, pushing you on the backyard swing, and rocking you to sleep with a bedtime story slipped away far too quickly. You have become a beautiful young woman, and we are so blessed to have been given the opportunity to help you grow, share in your successes and watch you bounce back from disappointments. We are excited for you and the wonderful future that awaits.

Always remember to plan and prepare for the future but also live in the present. Take time to enjoy the little things. Lay back in the grass on a sunny day, spend time with your sisters, laugh with your friends, and stop frequently to recognize and give thanks for the gifts around you. We have no doubt that you will find happiness and just as importantly you will bring happiness to others.

Your hugs and smiles brighten our lives. Your forgiving nature and compas-sion for others helps us love more fully and makes us better people. Always know that no matter where you are or what you do you will ever be alone. You are always on our minds and in our hearts. You are the best, and you are loved more that you will ever know!

All our love,

Mom and Dad

We love you unconditionally!Dad, Mom, Rheed and Madison

My Dearest JoJo,I am so proud of you! Your DETERMINATION to walk across that stage got you there.

Carly, you are one of the most beautiful people in my life. I admire your strength and your commitment to everything you do. You have absolutely AMAZED me this year!

When I see you look into his eyes, your love for him takes my breath away. You are such a wonderful mom!

I adore you. You are my treasure, my baby girl. I look forward to sharing your growth as a woman and as a mom. I know you will be EVERYTHING you want to be.

You are a wonderful little brother. I can’t wait to see where the world takes you. We have had some really fun times. Love you,Stacy

Dear Henry,How time flies! Can’t believe that you are a senior! We are so incredibly proud of you and your many accomplishments in and out of the classroom.

You’re off to a great start and the future is yours!

Dear Paige

A precious blue-eyed baby girl blossomed into a beautiful young woman, seemingly over night! It has been a joy to watch as you have reached aca-demic success with such motivation and determination.

In your own quiet and humble way, you have been an example to others. Continue to let Jesus be your compass and guide through the next phase of your life.

We will cherist the years you had at home. It is now your turn to go out into the world and capture your dreams.

We love you!

Cameron P. Eckardt,Senior year is over! Now you are off to bigger and better things. You are a blessing to our family. We think that life thus far has taught you that faith, setting goals, having a plan, hard work and not being afraid to ask for help can get you where you want to be. That which is beyond the horizon in Nebraska will be determined by you and God. We are so proud of you. You have set a high standard for your siblings to follow. Cameron rocks!

All of our love,Papa, Mom, Callahan, Gracie & Cahill

Kenzie,It is so hard to believe our little Kenz is all grown up (you know I’m tearing up as I write this). We are so very proud of you Kenzie; it is difficult to put it into words. So pretend we’re hugging you really tight to say “thank you” from the bottom of our hearts for bringing so much joy and laughter to our lives...you are awesome! And while Shelby may be excited about not having to share the bathroom every morning, and Shae is already moving his things into your room, we are going to miss you...a bunch!

Love ya Kenz!Mom and Dad, Shelby and Shae

Haleigh,You came into this world as a beautiful, tiny precious being, bright-eyed and smiling. Now here you are graduating high school, having become a beautiful young woman.

Excitement will fill your soul but never forget how extremely proud and over-the-moon excited we are to see you plan the next steps of your life.

Stay true to your morals, seek out success, always believe in yourself and never give up.Be happy, be positive and be the best version of yourself!

We love you with all our hearts!Your loving family,Mom, Dad and Mallory

Tori Couts

To our Lindsey,We have held your hand through life’s trials and triumphs. We have taught you about friendship, love, and grace. We have encouraged your com-petitive spirit, and embraced your quiet reflections on life. We have taught you all that we know and have held you close. Now the time has come to let you cross the street of life on your own; but trust that we will always be on the other side, watching and knowing you will persevere in whatever path you choose. Let your light shine, and let God direct.

Loves and Hugs,Mom and Dad

Throughout life I have marveled at your compas-sion and consideration of others. And, although I may not comprehend how you do it, you have taught me I don’t have to understand someone for them to be beautiful. Thank you for blos-soming into the selfless beauty that has a tear for everyone.

In Admiration,Your Brother

Dear Lauren,Congratulations, graduate! It seems impossi-ble that 17 years have passed this quickly. We can hardly believe our cute little toddler with her ponytail and “ugly shoes” has grown into the beautiful young woman you are today. Your graduation is only the beginning of the next chapter of your life. Although we will not be there to witness every step first-hand, remember we are always here if you need us. Never forget: we are, and will always be, your biggest fans. As you go off to college, we of-fer you the words of our favorite inspirational speaker, Kaitlyn Butko, “shoot for the moon, because even if you miss you’ll land amongst the stars.”

Love,Daddy & Mommy

Tori,Dateline July 3rd, 1993 -Tori Jo Couts was born today. “The world will never be the same.”And it hasn’t. Someday you will look back on this time in your life not as a chore or boring or busy but as a time you were carefree. Hold on to these moments because they are gone before you know it. As you move on to bigger and better things we will be here to support you. Remember family and friends. Remember all those that have touched your life. All the clichés in the world couldn’t describe how we feel about you. All the words in the dictionary can’t describe how you changed our lives. Our hearts are full of love and joy because of you.

Love,Mom and Dad

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Elise,We are so proud of you! You have become an amazing person. The world is a better place because you are a part of it, and you are only just beginning to make your way. Keep moving foward, remembering the words of a poet you have always enjoyed:

“The Voice”by Shel Silverstein

“There is a voice inside of youThat whispers all day long,‘I feel that this is right for me,I know that this is wrong.’No teacher, preacher, parent, friendOr wise man can decideWhat’s right for you - just listen toThe voice that speaks inside.”
