I baptize you in the name of...

We recently had a several baptisms at church. Since then Tucker and Rylee have been baptizing each other. Yesterday afternoon Rylee baptized Tucker, "In the name of the son, the spirit, and Father Abraham." Nana, Papaw and myself almost died laughing at her!!!

Tucker Tells All

Most of you that know my dad know that he is hard of hearing, another words can barely hear anything. This is the conversation between Gramps and Tucker:

Tucker: Gramps, You need to get some ear and aids.

Gramps: Why?

Tucker: Because every time I ask you something you just say uh huh.

Gramps: Well Tucker

Tucker: Either you don't hear good or Don't understand me cause I am from Tennessee and you are from the country. (meaning we live in the city and Gramps lives in the country)


I told Tucker since Gramps says uh huh to everything to ask him if he will pay our utility bill. Unfortunately, Gramps heard the question and just sighed...

Happy Birthday to the "Old" Man in my life...

Today, my dad is celebrating his birthday. He would have nothing more to celebrate it with his family (especially his 2 grandkids), so that is just what he will get. Just so happens I came upon this song that so clearly tells of the love I share with my dad:

You're My Hero

I would ride on your shoulders

And look out on the world

Pretending I was big and tall like you

When you were there to hold me

I never was afraid

You made me feel there's nothing I can't do



If I'd spread my wings to fly

When I was very small

I knew that you'd be standing by

To catch me if I fall



You're my hero

Chasing the monsters from my room

Going on trips around the moon

The one who's always been there faithfully

You're my hero

And because you're my Dad...

I'm twice as blessed and lucky to be me



As I kept on growing

We often disagreed

But you let me find myself in my own way

And it's funny, how just lately

I've come to recognize

How wise you are becoming every day

There's so much you've given me

I hope I've made you proud

You're everything a Dad should be

And it's time to tell you now



You're my hero

You didn't have to say a word

Your love was the message that I heard

Inspiring me to be all that I can be

You're my hero

And because you're my Dad

I'm twice as blessed and lucky to be me


and I wouldn't change it for anything!
Happy Birthday Daddy and I love you!
