Life Is Good.

Sometimes life sucks. But honestly, how can I not be happy and go on when I have these two beautiful faces to look at?

Life is GOOD. Doesn't she look like her daddy? (Below)

I love taking a bath with her and then smothering her in baby lotion. I especially love golden, curly, wet locks.
I love waking up in the morning and hearing a happy little chatter box going on for minutes. We always bring her into our bed with us and she luvs to snuggle with her daddy. I love spending time with this little girl. Now I have a girlfriend to take shopping with me, go get lunch, paint my nails with, and watch curious george. ha ha. And how can I not mention following me around when I mop the floor, tugging on my shirt when I'm trying to do my hair, clawing the keyboard when I'm blogging, and tooting during young womens each sunday. Ha ha what a cutie. I wouldn't trade any of it for anything. And Matt, don't feel left out. I still love you more than her, don't worry :)

This is my new favorite song by Taylor Swift. I'm sure everyone knows I'm obsessed with her. This song always makes me cry. Today I was listening to it in the car and my eyes got so blurry I almost had to pull over to wipe them. How ridiculous. This song reminds me of my mom and I, my sisters and I, and one day this will be Addi and I.


The Best Day
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
For staying back and watching me shine
And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today
