Leighton is my baby girl and I love her with all my heart! She started life as my little shadow and as she grew we became a strong team! Our mantra was "Power Through." That's how we got through our toughest days! Having a daughter has been one of the most amazing blessings in my life and that's why she's the perfect person to stand beside me on my special day! I love my baby girl!

What can you say about a twin? We have been attached since before birth. We talk multiple times daily and share everything. You cannot underestimate the power of the twin connection. We have always called it our "Wonder Twin Power." We love each other in a way that only a twin can understand and would never let anything stand in the way of supporting one another.

One can only hope for a daughter in love like I have! Kayla is not only a beauty but she is kind, thoughtful, strong, determined and one of the most dedicated people I know. She will do whatever it takes to get things done and I can always count on her! I love our long chats on the phone and how she includes me in her life. It's the best! I also love how she trusts my opinion but still is able to make the best decisions for her and my son, Chandler. They are a great team for sure! It's fun to watch this girl! She is my heart!

My surprise bonus daughter that I didn't know I needed! Looking at life through her eyes brings me so much humor & joy! She's a beauty for sure! She's smart, thoughtful, loving, a great mother, daughter, grand daughter combined with her headstrong personality that won't take no for an answer! So when you need someone to sugarcoat the truth, you better go somewhere else. She tells it like it is, but in a loving way! She's refreshing and there is no one else like this one! She's easy to love!

This beauty has been in my life for many years and will be for many more! She's one of the most loyal friends you'll ever have! She will do anything for you and nothing is ever inconvenient to her. So rare! Stacie is also one of the strongest girls I know and has definitely had her share of ups & downs yet still keeps that beautiful smile on her face and keeps moving forward! I am so grateful to have her in my life! I love love my Stacie! She's truly is one of a kind!

Bestie is not a word that should be used lightly. In this case, it only scratches the surface of what our relationship covers. MB and I go all the way back to Highschool. There are few people that can impact your life in such a way that will never be forgotten. MB is that person. Through all the ups and downs, she has been a rock for me and still tells me like it is, even if I don't want to hear it. I love this one to death!

Jules is a diamond! She's been sparkling through my life for many years and is an amazing friend and confidant. She deeply cares for all her friends and always creates a world that is welcoming and feels like home. She has the most beautiful heart and I wouldn't trade our friendship for all the money in the world. She's has a deep love of animals and loves to spend evenings at home with her babies! She's such a loyal friend and I am so grateful God put Jules in my life!!!!

Everyone should have a best fried like Bob. Loyal, fun and a great person to hang out with anytime. Brother is a strong word and that is how I feel about him. We have been through many things and persevered through it all. That is what brothers do. From Powder Springs to Woodstock to Blue Ridge, there have been many a fun outing as well and will be many more to come with he and Spunky. We are lucky to have them in our close circle.

As friends go, Dominic is one of the keepers. 25 years go fast. From the pool in West Cobb, to Biloxi and Vegas, fun was had in all places. He and Debra make life fun and keep you grounded as well. When you have them as close friends, not much else is required.

If you could pick a son in law, you would pick one like Cory. He is honest, good to my daughter and a great father. He can also set a hair bow like no man I know. :) I enjoy our time together no matter where we are. I just need him to get to the golf course more often. I am very happy that he joined our family in 2021.

Friends can come along when you least expect it and become meaningful to you quickly. Carl is one of those friends. Our Marietta group is a great group and they have accepted me in as one of their own in a short time. There are great guys in our group and Carl is one of the best. He will stand with you when you need him and help you up when you fall. Truly a blessing to call him a friend.

There are limited times that you can add someone to your family and it just feels right. That is how I feel about Chandler. There was no tension when Lori and I started dating and this has grown into him adding to my relationship with Lori. As we have gotten to know each other, he has revealed what a great person he is in life. He is there when you need him and has a drive that is unparalleled. If you need to make it happen, just call Chan. That incudes fishing and golfing too!!

Being the oldest son, I was worried when I met Collin that he may not appreciate my feelings for Lori. That was far from the truth. I believe he was happy that his mother had found true love. Collin is a great musician, hard worker and loves his family without question. As a man, I want respect from others and I did not have to work for it with Collin. He gave it freely and understood from the beginning that my feelings were true. Our family is an incredible group and it all starts with this one.

Wyatt is one of a kind. I am not sure how he eats like he does and gyms like he does, but that drive makes him one of the most dedicated people I know. And especially at his age, that is not as common as you would think. He is one of those that you can call or text with a need and he is there for you. I cannot wait to see he and Leighton get married next year. What a celebration we will have.

This little horse loving cutie lights up our world! She's loving and sweet and all she wants is all the attention you will give her! When you need some sass and a little love, find Tinleigh and you will find all you can handle in one place. She is our little unicorn: A magical gift that gives more than she takes.

Jamison is our little princess! She's a spunky girlie girl whose usually wearing a dress and is always right in the middle of all the fun. This one always has a smile on her face everywhere she goes. She has such a big heart and is always a joy to be around! She's a little ball of sunshine!!!!

Maddox is full of character! He gets along so easily with others that you can already see his ability to be a good buddy to his friends! Not only is he handsome but he is full of sweetness! He loves baseball and loves hanging with his cousins! He one of those sweet little angels that everyone adores!

Anyone that knows Bubba can't help but fall in love immediately. This little guy brings unlimited joy, and a tiny bit of tractor love with him. When you need a fun time and a little bit of dirt, this is your guy. Playtime with him means you can end up anywhere: the floor, the yard or even in the barn.
