My Princess





Tomorrow she will be 8!

I was looking up a beautiful quote about having a daughter to start off this post & came across one of my new favorites:
"People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one." (Leo J. Burke)
This was how her life started - SCREAMING for 3 months straight. But all that "enthusiasm" has turned into one excited little girl who is usually screaming for joy.




She is one excited little girl. Right now she is excited about her first slumber party - they are upstairs & she is talking a mile a minute - that is how we roll around here. She LOVES her daddy & brothers. It will take one special man (in about 20 years) to measure up to 3 cool dudes. She has FUN with her cute friends, has perfect grades in school & is a role model to others.



We were so blessed 8 years ago when this baby came into our family. She brought joy, noise, but most of all love.

I admit that having a daughter to raise seems a little scarier to me than my 2 smelly boys. I am not sure why, but I think it has something to do with peer pressure, mean girls, boys, etc . . . So I guess I do know why it scares me - it freaks me out. I read a great book "5 Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter" by Vicki Courtney & was even more scared, but definetely more enlightened. So every night (& all day) I take to my knees & pray that God guides SuperDaddy & myself as well as guides her.



Bay, I pray love for you. I pray you have a desire to grow closer to Christ everyday & delight in Him who made you. You are beautiful & I pray you know that when the teen years get crazy. Love God first & know we love you!



Love, Mommy

Happy New Year 2025!

 Well, the end of 2024 caught us a little off-guard. So I am little late . . .  2024 started off with WFM5 turning 18! CRAZY! In the middle of 2024 Bay turned 21! CRAZY! Whitty is 17 & Baby Lee is in middle school! CRAZY! How can they be this old? How can 2 live in another city? How can the hubby be 50??! We had a lot of fun this year, we traveled & tailgated. We laughed & laughed some more.  We also grew this year inside & out, in times of tears & joy. We lost our sweet friend - Kim Haynes, our Auntie Kim. We had moments of telling her daughter that Mommy went to Heaven, we had hard conversations & times to say goodbye.  We had times of telling EK how wonderful her momma was. 2024 also sent another to AUBURN! Momma may have cried the whole way home. But to see him thrive brought Momma such joy.  Baylor (21) is studying education at AU & is having a blast with her cute friends, in her cute house. She stays busy with schools, concerts ...

HOW???

How is it time for Summer? How are we buying teacher gifts? How have I registered my baby girl for her senior year of high school? How have we had 5 days of soccer try-outs & we are only halfway through? How are we scheduling senior portraits & ordering senior jerseys? How are 2 of them taller than me with bigger feet? How do they make their own plans & inform me of what they are? How do we have 1.5 drivers at our house? How do they stay up later than me? How is all this happening so fast? HOW?
