Through the Years by Kenny Rogers



I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is

Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do



Through the years
You've never let me down
You turned my life around



The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you

Through the years
I've never been afraid
I've loved the life we've made


















And I'm so glad I've stayed
Right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know

Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years
Through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had
I've always been so glad
To be with you



Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away



As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years
When everything went wrong
Together we were strong
I know that I belonged
Right here with you


Through the years
I never had a doubt
We'd always work things out


I've learned what love's about
By loving you
Through the years

Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away


As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years











Since this is Valentine's Week, I've been thinking about the people who mean the very most to me and how we got to where we are right now. I've had this song going through my head all week. I am so thankful for the years that I've had with Hubby and the life that we have created together, for all the things that we have been through that have gotten us to this point and for each of the children who have joined our family along the way. As you can tell from the pictures, some years were definately harder than other but through the years, I have been very blessed.

Beautiful post! I loved the pictures, and that song is so sweet!

What a beautiful family.

Wishing you many more wonderful years together!!! :)

Wow, it is fun to watch your family grow!!

I must be off kilter lately. Every since Pres. Hinckley died, everthing, EVERYTHING makes me cry. I read something sweet as this, I cry. I read an old post of mine where my kids were driving me crazy, I cry. I read about soliders fighting in Iraq, I cry.

I am an emotional wreck, by the time Valentines gets here I'll probably be drained.

That is so cute. I loved, loved, loved the pictures. And "Good On 'Ya" as Australians say.

(I don't actually know why I'm quoting Australians...)

Very fun pictures. I can barely remember a time when you two were not married. I thin I was about J's age which seems so long ago. But way to have an awesome family.

I loved seeing all these pictures!

Thats is such an awesome idea. I loved it, I love that song and I too enjoyed the way you could tell exactly what decade your first picture was from.
I find it interesting that you say you can tell by the pictures that some years were better than others. I think that must be all th memories you have associated with each one, because I look at tham and they all look great! You are so beautiful.

It's amazing how time flies by. It seems like just yesterday we were having our first babies together! Now they are almost teenagers! I hadn't seen some of those pictures before, thanks for sharing! They are all great!
