My Little Girl

Performed By: Tim McGraw

Album: Greatest Hits, Volume 2

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go

Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know

Though you think you already know.

2010

               2004

I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.


September 27, 1994

Your beautiful baby from the outside in,
Chase your dreams but always know the road
that'll lead you home again.







2012

Go on, take on this whole world,
But to me you know you'll always be,
My little girl.






2002

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.

2007

Now look at you,
I've turned around and you've almost grown.






2012

Sometimes you're asleep I whisper,
"I Love You" in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say,
"Mommy Love You More".


2000

Your beautiful baby from the outside in,
Chase your dreams but always know
the road that'll lead you home again.







2011

Go on, take on this whole world,




2009









But to me you know you'll always be,
My little girl.


1995

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know,

2012

He's the half that makes you whole,
He has a poet's soul,
and the heart of a man's man.

I know he'll say that he's in love,
But between you and me,
He won't be good enough.

2011                                        2012

Your beautiful baby from the outside in,



2004

Chase your dreams but always know the road
that'll lead you home again.







2011

Go on, take on this whole world,






2012

But to me you know you'll always be, 
My little girl.

2001

You're Gonna Be

Today is my baby girls last day of high school, where has the time gone? Her Graduation Ceremony is on Saturday.

I Love You, Lindsey!!

6lbs and 9oz.  7lbs 10 0z. looking up at me,
Like I have all the answers.
I hope I have the ones you need.
I've never really done this, now I know what scared is.

(September 27, 1994)

Sometimes I'll protect you from everything that's wrong,

(2002)

Other times I'll let you just find out on your own,
But that's when you'll be growin',
And the whole time I'll be knowing, 

(Memphis - 2009)

You're gonna fly, with every dream you chase.
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay.
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you hang in there,


(Senior Pictures)

You're gonna see, that sometimes bad is good.
We just have to believe, things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees, 


(2011)

But always loved by me,
You're gonna be. 

(Smoky Mountains 2006)








I'm afraid you'll have to suffer
through some of my mistakes.
Lord knows I'll be trying to give you what it takes.
What it takes to know the difference,
Between getting by and living.

(Caricature from Smoky Mountains 2006)

‘Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way.

Just know you'll have to live with 
all the choices that you make.
So make sure you're always giving,
way more than you're taking.



(Thank Heavens this was only a temporary tattoo from her vacation with her Dad 2008)

You're gonna fly, with every dream you chase.
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay.

(Lindsey will be attending this school in the fall)

Sometimes life's not fair, but if you just hang in there,
You're gonna see, that sometimes bad is good.
We just have to believe things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees,


(Universal Studios 1999) 

But always loved by me,
You're gonna be. 

(Holiday World 2007)

Someone's everything
You're gonna see
Just what you are to me. 

(2012)

You're gonna fly, with every dream you chase.
We just have to believe things work out like they should.
Life has no guarantees, 


(With the Boyfriend 2012)

But always loved by me.
You're gonna be.


(summer 2011)

Always loved by me!!

Today Was A Fairytale

Performed By: Taylor Swift
Written By: Taylor Swift
From the 2010 Soundtrack Album: Valentine's Day 
(Taylor also had a role in this movie).

This past Saturday was my Daughter's Senior Prom. 

We spent most of the day getting her all dolled up and ready for the event. 

It has been a stressful process finding the right dress, shoes, jewelry, and flowers, but it was all worth it on Saturday when I saw the smile on her face and how beautiful she looked.  

Today was a fairytale,







You were the prince,
I used to be a damsel in distress.

You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six.
Today was a fairytale,

Today was a fairytale.

Today was a fairytale,
I wore a dress.
You wore a dark grey t-shirt Tux.
You told me I was pretty,
When I looked like a mess. And I felt like a Princess.
Today was a fairytale.

Time slows down,
Whenever you're around.

Can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there,
It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.

It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.


(Beautiful "Hilltopper" View)

Today was a fairytale,
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet.
Every move you make everything you say is right,
Today was a fairytale.

Today was a fairytale.
All that I can say,
Is now it's getting so much clearer,
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face.
Today was a fairytale.


(The Kissing Bridge)







Time slows down,
Whenever you're around.


(Under The Kissing Bridge)

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there,

It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.


(Our Front Yard)

It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.

Time slows down,
Whenever you're around.
I can feel my heart,
It's beating in my chest.
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down.







But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there,
It must have been the way,

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there,

It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.


(My Bedroom and Bath)

It must have been the way,
Today was a fairytale.


(In The Truck)

Today was a fairytale.
