Weekly Camera Dump

 Just wanted to share a few sweet shots I captured this week.  My sweet little doll baby is so photogenic, especially in her favorite shirt!

 These two pictures capture what our life is really like.  We are always posing our children and having them smile pretty for the camera, but lets face 95 percent of the time this is what our lives look like.  I think it is nice to have pictures of what life is really like and that is why I love these!  Poor Gracie!

 Oh Weston!  Even when he is being naughty he looks adorable!  Gets me every time with those eyes and that sweet smile.

 Sweet sleeping Maddie!

Weston doing what he does best, getting into things!

Great day to be a Godfather!

 We were off to a very special event today.  James was accepting his First Communion. 

 Tim is quite honored to be James Godfather and honestly I think he is the perfect man in James life for the job. 

 Even little Miss Maddie got all dolled up for the occasion. 

 We are so proud of James.  Grandma has worked very hard to raise these 2 kiddos in the church and I hope one day when they grow up and understand just what a gift there Grandma has shared with them.

 Gracie had to of course jump in for a few pictures and then they were off to devour some cake and cookies at the reception held afterwards.

Whats up with Weston!

 This little boy has been keeping me on my toes lately that is for sure! 

 Weston is 15 months old now. 

 He is crawling around and pulling up on the side of all the furniture.

 Did I mention he is getting into EVERYTHING!  His favorite thing to do these days is empty out all the cabinets.

 Always smiling, laughing and so loveable!

To Gigi's house we go!

 

We were off to see Gigi for the day.  She has been patiently waiting to meet Miss Madison.  She couldn't believe we had done it yet again.  3 beautiful babies!

 Madison gives Gigi a grand total of 5 great-grandbabies!  Weston was a little to affectionate when it came time for pictures.  He loves his baby sister, unfortunately he loves on her a little to much sometimes.  Never the less it was a great trip and a wonderful visit!

Sweetest Birthday Party yet!

Gracie has been counting down the days until her Cupcake Birthday Party 

and it is finally here!

 The girls got to decorate and personalize there own cupcake boxes.

 I thought Halle's box was so sweet!

 Even Weston got in on all the partying!  He couldn't decorate any cupcakes with the girls but he settled for eating a few and playing with the balloons!

 The McNeese girls hard at work decorating!

 Here are a few of Gracie's cupcakes!

 Little Miss Madison just couldn't hang.  After she got passed around and loved on she was out!

 Even Daddy got in on the sweet fun!

 After the cupcakes were all decorated and packed up to go home it was time for some cake!

 She said she made a real good wish!

 Love that sweet face!

 

 These girls were ready for some sugar after all that work!

  

The party was so much fun and I am so glad Gracie had fun with her friends.  I still can't believe my sweet baby girl is 7.  She has already started talking about what she wants to do for her 8th Birthday.  I wish she would slow down and quit growing up so fast on me. 

A new cadigan!

"Stitches By: Laura" sent over a darling cardigan for Miss Gracie to model.  One thing this girly does not mind doing is modeling clothes.  She also had fun accessorizing it.  Gracie can always figure out how to work a cute bow into an outfit.  My little fashionista hard at work!

We have visitors!!!

 I love visitors that come with sweet little voices saying "wachael you have a cookie" and "I want to hold you".  We were quite excited to see Emma and Caleb for a 3 day weekend stay.  They were quite excited to see Gracie and Weston again and of course meet baby Madison. 

 Melted my heart seeing Caleb hold Madison so sweetly.  He is sure ready to be a big brother again.

 Emma was to busy to stop for a photo op with Madison.  Miss Emma is ALWAYS to busy doing something.  Today it was playing in Gracie's jewelry and having a tea party!  I kept hearing her say "woo pretty" every time Gracie pulled something else out for her to wear. 

 Lots of time to relax and let these guys play! Weston tried his best to be right in the middle of it all!

 There is my cheesing boy!

 I do believe Weston was a little more excited about pictures than Caleb!

 Looks like Caleb managed to teach Madison a thing or two while he was here.  He already has her calling the Hogs at 1 month old!  We will have to note that in the baby book! ;)

I love this picture of the kiddos!  Here they are, all 5 of them!  Mine and my sisters pride and joy!

Say "cheese"!

Look at this sweet big brother!  He is just precious with baby Madison.  He tries to love on her by nuzzling his head against hers.  It is so sweet!  One of his new things is to give a big cheesey smile when he sees a flash go off.  I love it!  Think it is safe to say this little guy is a trained pro at picture taking! 

This is what a pretty normal night around our house looks like.  I should probably add this is what the good side of normal looks like, when everyone is happy!
