My little girl.

You Can't Lose Me

Faith Hill

A little girl, a little small for her age
A little too slow for the field day race
Momma's waiting at the finish line
And wipes the teardrops from her eyes
She says, "You did just fine honey, that's okay
Sometimes life's just that way
You’re gonna lose the race from time to time

But you're always gonna find...

You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever you go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me"

Momma use to say "Girl it won't be long
'Til it's time to go out on your own
Chase your dreams find your place in life
I know you'll do just fine"
When that day finally came
There were things she needed to but could not say
So I whispered softly as I wiped
The tears from Momma's eyes...

"You can't lose me
Bet your life
I am here and I will always be
Just a wish away
Wherever I go
No matter how far
My love is where you are
You won't be lost if you believe
You can't lose me"

Cade

age 7

This boy loves skunks, writing, blueberry muffins, taco pizza, a fierce game of hide-n-seek, and a great story. He has broken the world record for the number of times a person can ask "how do you spell..." in one day. He is a great big brother to Landry. He butts heads with his lil' brother Cannon and has been known to complain from time to time. He is brutally honest and calls things like he sees them (which is refreshing at times). He is handsome and tender-hearted. He has a short list of who he shares his affection with. I am thankful to be on the list. He is my sunshine.

Cannon

age 5

He loves lions, the color green, bananas, popsicles, sports, anything dangerous, and being funny. He is the kid that manages to look dirty by the time he takes his towel off from getting a bath. He is passionate. He can be hugging you and in a split second be having a complete meltdown over his shoes not going on as easily as he thinks they should. He is confident, strong, and handsome. He doesn't like anything that is "girl stuff." He can tell you about any ACC team and their mascot. He also holds a world record for asking "who is winning"the most times while a ballgame is on. He is cuddly and sweet. He is my chocolate cake.

Landry

age 4

She loves changing her clothes, wearing her "fast shoes", eating apples, and brushing her teeth. She loves pigs, pink and baby dolls. She really loves boy stuff just as much as her babies. She is sweet and loving. She also can be a little bull-headed. She likes to go places and see people. She is smart and fast. She is pretty and charming. She has a cute sense of humor to go along with her stubbornness. She is just what I needed. She is my twinkle.
