Awwwwwww! I never thought she looked alike at all before, but in this picture... WOW!
god broke my heart to prove to me, he only takes the best.
miss you everyday, rocky.
wow, they're all BEAUTIFUL! and all look alike, very pretty
Thanks for that Jeff. Very beautiful, the 4 of them! I'm familiar with many of the schools they mention so that was a really great read for me. Shanna is still teaching in Oklahoma I see, and Mounds isn't too far from Tulsa. I think Mounds is actually even smaller than Checotah!!

wow, mama underwood has a masters' degree, that's impressive! it's great to see carrie use her celebrity for a cause like this - too often these days, we celebrate the wrong kind of people in our celebrity-crazed world
If it was an ordinary picture and not Carrie, photographer can easily spot the lady in the middle is either a pro-model or a popular celebrity. the others are what we often seen folks posing for family snapshot.
aww, what a cute picture! a great family. if mr. underwood were there, it'd be perfect.
With friendship it doesn't matter how long
you've known each other, or how many fights
you got into. what matters is who said
"i'll be there for you"
and who proved it.
That was really nice to read, thank you for posting!



Teachers never get enough credit for the work they do.
My goodness do those girls look like their mom.
What a great article! It shows that Carrie is an excellent role model and would make an awesome teacher!
Thanks for the article. I didn't know that Carole and Steph also went to Northeastern State University. I'm sure that influenced her decision to go there.
They all have the exact same color hair in that picture which makes them look even more alike.
