Family Pics!

So we finally were able to get our family pictures done a few months ago and I LOVE them!!  I look at them and still can't believe how blessed I am to have these four amazing beautiful children and such an amazing husband.  I love how real these pictures are and how their cute little personalities come out in them.  I am so grateful for my little family and honestly feel so privileged to be their mom and his wife.  Seriously.. I'm a lucky girl. 

My little princess!  Brooklyn has been the best little girl I could have ever imagined.  I can't believe she is almost 7 YEARS OLD!!!  She is the sweetest daughter, sister, and friend.  She's doing amazing in school and has gotten 100% on every spelling test she's had this year!  She's definitely developing a little "attitude" as the months go by haha..but to be honest it's pretty mild and she has so many good qualities that when the attitude comes out all we can do is laugh about because it's so not like her.  She's the best big sister and even though she still asks for a sister...I think she kind of likes being the only girl and getting to do all of the fun girl things with mom!

I LOVE this picture..that missing front tooth and that smile, I can almost hear her giggling in this picture..Aww I love it!

Austin James, how I love you!! Look at how handsome this little man is..I might be bias but I'm pretty sure he's a studly 5 year old!  Not only that, but he has the kindest little heart of any 4 year old I know.  I get alot from people, "He's kind of sensitive huh?" (which drives me crazy) and yes he does cry here and there (what kid doesn't by the way?) but also is ALLLL BOY.  He's obsessed with the Wii right now (mario), LOVES every action figure possible, and is constantly wresting and fighting with his brothers all day long!  His teacher is always commenting on how awesome he's doing in school..already reading!! And out of all of my kids, he's the best with Dru.  He LOVES little toddlers and chases Dru around all day and plays with him constantly...he's the best big brother ever!

My boys..Love this picture!

Oh Talon..what to say about you.  Well, you're 3 years old....that should pretty much explain everything!! No, really he's a good kid, but alot to handle these days!  I don't care what anyone says about "terrible twos," three is way harder!! When they are two they are still to little to really know what they are doing, but when they are three they know..so it's just naughty!  Talon is a fun kid though, and even though he has definitely been the one to give us a run for our money.. we love him to pieces and love the spunk he adds to our little family.  The thing I LOVE LOVE LOVE about Talon is that he is a HUGE mommies boy.  All of my kids love me but out of all of them Talon wants me all of the time..never dad, never brothers, etc.. if mom is around, he's on my lap, laying on my arm and asking to be my "cuddle bug." He's definitely all boy, and right no LOVES Green Lantern, the Hulk, and Ninja Turtles like you wouldn't believe.  I love it and love his imagination.  He's so much fun!

Oh Dru B.  (what we like to call you around here these days.) look at those eyes...they're going to be trouble some day so please us them wisely.  I am always hearing from everyone that you have your own look and don't look like the others.  Honestly I think you look like mom and the older you get the more "Austin" I see you (which is all McSpadden) so we shall see! You have been so much fun little man.  I have been trying to engrave in my mind and heart that you are my last little baby, so I'm enjoying every little stage of your life and find myself staring at you wanting to stop all time.  You're growing up way to fast and I'm not ready for this stage of my life to be done so please slow down!  Dru is 17 months old and is EVERYWHERE!  He's into everything and I can't even begin to .

Me and my girl

Me and my boys

Mommy and my kids

(I laugh at this picture because I tell Ben all of the time that I feel like a single mom because of ho busy he is with church and work so when we saw this picture we called it my "single mom picture."  Really Ben hadn't showed up yet for the photo shoot and the photographer was just taking some random pictures and I liked this one!

And of course we can't forget Bella!! This is Brooklyn's best friend of course, so we brought her along for a few pictures!

Daddy and his boy!  Out of our kids, Dru loves Daddy like none of them ever have...or ever have shown it at this age I should say.  This kid follows Dad EVERYWHERE!  If it's between Dad and Mom..it's Dad.  If mom is holding him and dad walks in the room, he wants dad.  It breaks my heart!!! He even pushes my hands away when I reach for him if Ben is holding him and shakes his head No.  The one good thing about it is when he's crying...dad gets to take care of it!! haha!

Me and my hubby!  I still can't believe we are going on 7 years tomorrow!  Wow, crazy crazy.  Feels like yesterday sometimes I was set up on blind date with the most handsome  man ever and my life has never been the same!  Love you babe! 

My little family...need I say more??

This was as close as a kids picture of them all together that we were able to get...they did pretty good but once we got around to their pics they were SOO done!
