Wow… It’s been so many years since I last blogged to my girls ! So many times I’ve heard “mom I miss reading your blogs “ . Now look at me , almost fooooooooorty years old ( not really) and can’t figure out how to upload a picture on the blog anymore … times have changed.
Cha baby….. I’ll start with you! I can’t believe you are a week shy of being 8 years old . And this picture is exactly how you have made me feel since you came into this world . Sis, let me tell you …. your testimony is already a testimony full of Gods grace . In your short 8 years of life you have survived the odds of making it into the world , overdosed on foot cream, broke your leg on the trampoline and broke your arm when you tripped and fell walking to the car 🫣
I refuse to upload the picture from the overdose … I’m still not ok… 7 years later .. by far the scariest thing we have ever experienced as parents .
Since the last blog… you are still just as fun, smile just as much and continue to shine in every room you enter. 
Oh I love your little personality so much ! I wish I could get time to stand still . Other than that, not much has changed . You still have the same best friend , still love to aggravate bray, still mad at sissy for moving out 3 years ago etc..etc…
And I wouldn’t change a thing about you! I love that we laugh as much as we talk, dance as much as we laugh and I hope that never changes ! Oh my girl you are so special! You’re the perfect little Carol Baskin…sassy, boujee, ratchet!
I have never found anything you don’t have fun doing ! You love church, cheer, softball, dog hunting and shopping! You love talking about God and boy do your prayers move mountains … you have what we call a “grandmothers prayer” it’s the sweetest sound . I long for the day you accept Jesus into your little heart ! I can feel it coming ! As your mom, that’s all I want for you is Jesus! 
Bray… you are the clone of your mama 🙃!
I love your heart for kids … you already plan to be a mama to 4 kids …. You long to give any special needs person your attention. Your eyes light up when you talk about them as if they are your best friend.. the world needs more hearts like yours. When you grow up you want to be a special needs teacher . That my girl is nothing but God who gives you a special calling in life .
You have by far been my easiest most laid back ADD baby. You are such a little spitfire … you say what you’re thinking and are as honest as it comes ( no idea where that you get that from) your sisters and Ethan are your best friends and I’m so thankful for the bond that yall share .
You keep me and daddy so busy . Trace Adkins tell us that we are going to miss this but I don’t believe that just yet .
Never in a million years did I ever think you would enjoy running . You surprised me . Papa Tim always called you free bird and that’s just what you are ! He loved your little personality (maybe it’s bc you reminded him of your mama 😊 . I can’t believe you are about to be in high school and trying out for high school cheer … you were just a young little Oc cheerleader living your best life! 
You won your first state championship in cheer. It was bitter sweet since you have put so much love into that sport for so long
Don’t ever let the world change you !
This is real life …. We had a high school graduate and pre k graduate in the same year ….. what were we thinking?!?!?
This is what we were thinking . Precious memories …Don't let the age difference fool you ! There are no 3 sisters with tighter bond than these girls ! Madisyn has set the bar high for her sisters to look up to and has been the best role model to them . I can remember leaving for work in the summer and she and bray would be reading their devotion book drinking coffee on the back porch .
I can’t believe you are about to start grad school. I haven’t told you so I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but I’m kind of having a hard time with the thought of you being hours away . You are so special ! You are the most determined selfless person I know and i wish I could be more like you. Daddy and I could not be anymore proud of you.
You have worked 2 jobs, maintained a high gpa, always found time for your family and more importantly have continued to grow in your walk with the Lord! As a parent, we always fear that college would change our babies bc we have protected you for so long from this cruel world but not you sis ! I have seen the Lord shine through you in so many ways since you have been an independent college student . I love that you have a heart for geriatrics . I never knew the impact of going into nursing homes and loving on the elders would have on your life . I’m so thankful it did ! You have changed the most . You like pizza … you will finally try new things and you live for road trips …
A couple of things that haven’t changed about you is the love you have for your family especially for your sisters ( you’ve cloned cha to be just like you) and Ethan! I’m so thankful he still puts up with you 🤣! Daddy and I love you both so much! And we are so proud of the both of you!
To my girls ….. I hope you know that everything daddy and I do … we do it for you ! Poor dad has to work so hard to keep up with each one of you …..the one thing I’ve always wanted for you girls was a father… earthly and heavenly . That’s one of the most special gifts you can have in life !
