Blog #4: Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the two best dads I know...Dad(Opa) and Bobby! I was extra blessed to get to spend the day with these two very special men. I know we don't tell you nearly enough, but thanks for all you do.....I hope you had a great day! Since Charla was in town, she helped make the day extra special by debuting a song to Dad that she and Clay wrote this week. (I tried to download the video, but couldn't get it to work.....I will try again in a little while) I have included the lyrics, because I wasn't sure how the sound was going to be! Oh yeah....for those of you who know my mom and dad...you may need a tissue! Love you Dad and Bobby....Happy Father's Day!

Sing To Me
©2008 Corn/Corn

The sun hangs low in the west Texas sky
In the distance I hear cattle low
This dusty old street is hot to my feet
As I watch the wind as it blows

And it just keeps blowing as it has for years
But today it welcomes me home
Carrying music and laughter and tears
Telling me I'm not alone

Through the front door I can see dad's precious face
Smiling as I let myself in
The years have been kinder to this sacred place
Than they have to his weathered old skin

And the low hanging sun pours through the room
As I sit down and I start to play
With dad sitting there in his ancient green chair
From somewhere I hear momma say

Sing, Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing me a song about what used to be
Sing me a song about Jesus and love
A song about hope and heaven above
It doesn't have to be
More than a melody
I just want you to Sing to me

I played and I played for hours on end
Just like when I was a kid
I was gonna go far with this old guitar
And God knows that I never did

Momma's been gone for two years on
And dad looks like he's on his way
As the hours roll on to the sweet by and by
I hear somebody once again say

CHORUS

Bla-bla-bla-blog #3

Since we were all together except for Uncle Clay....we decided to celebrate Uncle Clint's 26th birthday (Today) - and Brylie's 6th (June 3rd). Here are the pictures to prove it!

Blogable material #2

Okay so Opa got a new toy this weekend. Dispite the fact that our neighbors are a little worried about our sanity.....here is Opa's bicycle build for 2....no actually built for 4....or in our case, a BICYCLE BUILT for 8. Check this out!:>)

So there is alot to blog about this weekend to say the least!

Aunt Charla was in town opening for Kevin Fowler. She did awesome, and it is clear that the disappointing "Nashville Star" Episode is going to be but a springboard to something sooo much bigger. I know we are more than a little partial, however, she is really an amazing person and artist! Here are a few pictures and a breif video! If you want to check out more, find her on myspace, or go to http://www.charlamusic.com/.

Splish Splash!

So the one good thing about it being sweltering hot, is that we go swimming alot! When he is around, Opa is always the first to agree to take the big dip! Well, apparently this all started at a hotel pool somewhere with Kinsley and Brylie, and as you can see it has turned into hours of fun. Do you think playing frogger over Opa's head will ever be an Olympic Sport?

And then when you get really advanced, you can add it a stylin little head slap...which I know Opa really appreciated!
