River is 5 today and couldn’t be more second-born if she tried.
.
Wild, hilarious, all heart… and absolutely no middle gear.
Born on May 4, so the Force is quite literally strong with this one.
.
She’s chaos and joy wrapped into one, and I love every bit of her.
the last rodeo—for now.
.
she’s spent years in the small town fields. dust on her boots, building teams, taking care of people, and keeping things moving when it mattered most.
.
headliners get the spotlight. always have.
but the real ones? they’re behind the scenes—running the show and raising up everyone around them.
.
that’s the kind of leader she is. the people’s queen 👑
.
something tells me this ride isn’t over… just headed to a new arena.
.
couldn’t be more proud of you. good to have you home.
Happy 7th Birthday to my namesake, my heart, and the girl who first made me “Dad.”

Ryan Rose - you light up every room, every day, every heart you meet. You’re brave, kind, hilarious, and full of life in all the best ways. I couldn’t be prouder to watch you grow into exactly who God made you to be.
long live the queen - you are fierce, loyal, fun, kind, and stunning. a tender and caring mom. a loyal and fun friend. a fierce and thoughtful boss. and a dream of a wife. happy birthday @court.mccormick from the chair of your fan club. all my love.

11 years ago we danced to this song. and then we started living it out. and somehow our lives, our love, and you - just keep getting better. it’s the glow up that just doesn’t stop. it’s not always been easy. easy is overrated. but it’s always been worth it. every day with you is a gift C. I love you.
happy fourth birthday river. never has so much sass, funny, fire, opinion, love, personality been packed into a 4 year old. and I wouldn’t change one thing. I love you so much riv.
