Theme Songs

As you may know, Brianna was actually born in Texas. This means that to us, she will always be a Texan, whether we live there or not. Actually, Travis has often referred to her as his "Brianna Rose of Texas," which sort of naturally led to us deciding that "The Yellow Rose of Texas" was her "theme song." Which is a fitting song for her daddy to choose for her since part of the lyrics go:

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,

Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;

You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,

But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Which to me, sounds like what a Daddy would think about his daughter.

Here's Elvis's version and he's changed the lyrics a little bit, but they work too since Bree has some pretty blue eyes...



And of course, Noah was born here in Montana which has made Travis decide that "Wild Montana Skies" by John Denver is Noah's "theme song." And those lyrics go:

He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain

Wild geese over the water headin north and home again

Bringin a warm wind from the south

Bringin the first taste of the spring

His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing

Oh montana, give this child a home

Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own

Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes

Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies



I'm not exactly sure why both the kids' theme songs are country songs since neither Travis nor I is particularly fond of country music in general but there you have it. Just thought I'd share since I find it kind of amusing that we even have "theme songs" for the kids at all.
