Don't Blink

              Don't blink....We seriously have life changing events happen every second of the day.
I can't hug you girls tight enough or laugh with you long enough..... BTW you're seriously funny kids and so polar opposites. All in a few short months Madisyn started junior high, Braylee started kindergarten I UGLY face cried for 3 days straight...AAAAAANNNNNDD, you're getting another SISTER.. OH CRAP, I will never have anything else of my own ever again.

             I can't believe my little saving grace is in junior high now. I'm not real sure when you grew up or how it happened so fast but, your hormones suck right now... There will never be another soul who loves you more than me so I can say that.  You have finally accepted the fact that we are not friends....I am your mama who is trying to raise a normal Christian human being...You often make me question my parenting skills,  but who said parenting was easy. The phrase " it takes an army to raise a child" is an understatement . I'm thankful you have God fearing grandparents who love you and pray for you just as much as we do. You are still great and I still love everything about you! If only I could see the world in your eyes...You are this worlds grace and don't see any bad going on in the lives of other or in the world. You're still the most positive, loving child I know. I asbsolutely love doing life with you! You are still breathtakingly beautiful and have surprised me with your determination to become a cheerleader. You don't have a competitive bone in your body. You have shown others what determination and practice will do for you and I couldn't be more proud of you. You continue to be the best role model as a sister ...I'm thankful they have you to look up to!

     

 

All in all, We always have way too much fun together. I cherish every moment I spend with you and tuck the moments tight.

We laughed for days about your horse cousin .

          

Tell me you didn't just die all over again..... You and I laughed hysterically about this while Bray was mad because snowball is a boy... I guess we can call him Snowball Jenner?      I love you, that's all!

                    On to the next bundle of joy. I can hardly wait to see where the wind is going to take you next... You are a free spirit with a gypsy soul....You have been our baby for 6 years now I can't wait until you become a big sister.... I know without a doubt you will be just as great as Madisyn is with you. I am so thankful for your close relationship with each other. I can't believe your're a perfect little school girl now ....well maybe not perfect , you've used the phrase "damn it" a lot lately. 

You are totally obsessed with school. You hate holidays and Saturdays because you would rather be at school ( seriously who's child are you) . My hopes are that you become a doctor and not a career student and can support me and daddy one day since you love school. 

 

     Months later you still feel this way about being a school girl!!! You also have wonderful teachers who make learning fun for you ( I'm forever grateful for Mrs Robin and Mrs Stephanie). 

 Dub has been your soul mate since t ball...he thinks you're famous bc your pop owns Piggly Wiggly . You both are just cute as pie 

Back to Pop........ I think he may be your favorite person.....he's a king diva and you're the queen. Although I think I should be your favorite person it melts my heart to see you with him.... My favorite person ever was my Pepaw too, so I get it!!!!! 

 I hope you girls cherish every minute with your grandparents because their prayers are the strongest and they will be the most influential people in your little lives !!

 On another note.... This was on my time hop this week ......yes, it's true we had our very own little Joe Dirt.... Real life baby Joe Dirt .....

 

I'm so in love with your little mullet here .... Seriously how does it not just tickle your soul...you favor your daddy so much here 

 

I guess you could say we have a little fun 

 

I'm just trying to make your childhood the best ever!!!!! Only you are giving me the best memories!

Bray, this is how you feel about being a big sister.... Talking about a pregnant meltdown....I fell to pieces when I was coming in your room to say prayers and found you like this ...

   Speaking of prayers.......Your prayers are one in a million....my stars, they are the sweetest most sincere prayers I've ever heard from a little girl. You never leave anyone out. 

The Lord truly blessed us with the most beautiful girls in the world....you are both flawless and I know your little sister will take after you and Madi... I mean check out her already perfect little features 

 She is our little miracle baby who has already been a diva just like her sisters. I spy your little pug nose and Madisyn's pretty lips !!!!!! I love you three girls so much!!!!! Before my feet hit the floor each morning and before I count my sheep I pray for you three girls.... I thank God daily for allowing me to be your mama, but more importantly strength and knowledge to raise you in a loving Christian home where you always choose to put God first!  

I hope you enjoy reading this one day, now on to the weekend....daddy is taking you two hunting, Good luck you three!!!!

 

Mama...have you blogged.......The sweet life of Madisyn & Braylee

                  Mama....mama ....mama...... Have you blogged????  So, here you go toots!!!!

We had such a very merry Christmas!!!! You girls light up our world! I know I say this often, but you girls seriously make my job as a mom so much fun.  Back to Christmas...

 

You girls were thankful for everything you received  for Christmas! It makes my heart so happy to know you are grateful for everything ....A THANKFUL HEART IS A HAPPY HEART... Always remember that ❤️

 Your smiling faces will light up any room!!  I seriously love you girls to pieces. There is nothing in the world that makes your daddy and I any happier than to see you girls happy. Like I've told you before, we don't want you to be rich , or marry into money  , we simply just wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Bray, you are still such a little bundle full of contagious belly laughs ..... Your laughter cures everything. Most of the time your sister is always behind the scenes while you and I act silly( I often find our comic scenes on snapchat😡) . I dread the day you grow up, I never want you to lose that little giddy personality you have! You still say when you grow up you want to be a hair dresser and work with Mrs Cole...without a doubt, I truly believe that will be your calling (your American doll is proof)! Each morning  you act like a vampire,  and refuse to get dressed if there are any lights on in the house... I have to lay your clothes by the fire, and turn off all the lights just so you will get ready for Ton Tons..( Ps .you get that from your Gigi ). There is a slight chance you may make it to Broadway (whether or not) 😫 gosh that was nerve wracking ... We seriously need to teach you the rest of that song ..  Your favorite thing to do is make believe ...and dance....you shake your cute little hiney 75% percent of the day. You are the funniest 5 year old ever, and I'm so thankful to be your mama. One of my favorite things to do with you is shop....you absolutely love shopping.Your sister is still your best friend. She is currently still playing dolls with you every day (sssssh we won't tell) but, you have to bribe her with a foot massage ...whatever works!!! You do such a good job at handling your sister.....she is sometimes this weird, hormonal, teenage brat who often gets mad at you for breathing ...... Lord help us, we just laugh it off because we know she can't help it and  we love her anyways 👹 . You do egg it on sometimes..... Like the time your squad placed first and Madisyn's squad placed second......and you rubbed it in her face .... Then you were known as Bratlee.

 

  Is this not the funniest facial .....Bray, you may hate me one day for posting this, but for now Madisyn and I will laugh hysterically about it😂😂

I love watching you girls cheer....what a milestone you both have come...thanks to your coaches!!

Madisyn..... Where do I begin? You love me, you hate me, and love me 5 seconds later!!!! Have I told you lately how much I love you? You're really not as bad as I'm making it out to be. You are still the most sweetest, selfless, caring, responsible child around.... You never ever put yourself before anything or anybody .....ever! I only wish to be half the person you already are. You are an amazing young lady! There's not a day that goes by that you don't make me proud..I never dreamed of life being this full of love and laughter until you came in and rocked my world. You make sure I read my devotion daily,and you love having morning coffee with me! Even when I'm not around to direct you on your daily walk you know what to do!

I love you....really really love you!  You always know what to say or do to make everything better ( how did your dad and I get so lucky)?  You sent me the sweetest message the other day, one  that I will cherish and tuck tight.... I read it at least once a day so I never can forget how blessed I am to have this beautiful family God gave me ... 

 

See how special you are and what you have to look forward to when you have kids!!!!!  I thank you for this sweet message even though it made me ugly face cry

 Ha, I just died a little at this picture.....I know you will do the same!!!!!

 You are now the cutest little brace face ever 

Psalm 139:14 " I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." I can't help but think of you and Braylee each time I read that verse. You two could not be anymore different, yet I love you both the same! Everything about you both is perfect and I wouldn't change anything about you (not even your 5200 dollar grill 😁) 

Snow day was so much fun with you girls ......minus the no electricity .

         Lord forbid us to leave the chickens out 😂 you really are the chicken whisperer ...they follow you around the yard just like a dog!.     On another note.... I'm so thankful for this hard working daddy of yours..... His job scares the absolute mess out of me, obviously for more reasons than one....but bless his heart for working out in the ice, snow , and cold restoring power......our lineman just don't get enough recognition .. But I'm thankful he has a love for his job , if he loves it I guess we will too!!!

 Good grief this is long, I swear I will do better next time and not wait so long to blog to you girls! How exciting will this be to read when you get older!?!  

 Well...... Madisyn, you had your first winter formal ....daddy and I was not as excited about it as you were....but what the heck ever, we made it through! You looked absolutely stunning.....I know I say this often but.....poor daddy 

Whooooa sister, you're rocking it!!!!! We had so much fun getting all you girls ready.....you have such a good group of girls with fun parents !

  What precious little souls you are.... Bray was so funny....I hope you remember daily she wants to be just like you.....so, I had to buy her a new dress, curl her hair, do make up etc. etc. etc.  She was determined to go to the dance with you and well......................................

                                                                    She did

                                   Here she is doing the Cupid shuffle with you.

 

I hope you know that no matter what you girls do, you will always have a support group with you

Ok....... I"m done💁 I love you girls more than you will  ever know...... My favorite job ever is being your mom....  I don't want you girls to grow up any faster than you already are, but I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you.

                                                Love mama
