I had a great time with 

Marlene {Nanny}, Makonnen, Marley, Maddox, Megan and Meah.

{M names are a tradition in their family - for generations}

Makonnen, Maddox, Meah and Nanny are visiting from Illinois.

This photo shoot was their last night here.  

The weekend was filled with so much excitement.

Birthday Party. Toy Story 3.  LOTS of fun! 

The kind of fun that kids don't want to go to sleep 

and wake up early in the morning to see each other. 

SO... {there were a few breakdowns}

but nothing a little {mommy time}

and baseball

so sweet. i could just eat them up!

baby Brady {3 months}

his beautiful blue eyes are a bit intoxicating! 

I love when I see baby Brady and he throws me his big smile.

OR... his starting to CRY face.

he's adorable either way!

this photo session he was in a more serious mood

 here are his baby Vogue shots :)

if you're wondering what that little thing is... 

so were the people in the restaurant when it started singing.

It's Hilarious!

Usually it makes Brady bust out into laughter...

Not On Baby Vogue Day :)

what a little stud in his vest

he LOVED these mirrors

so cute to see him try to figure out where these look-a-likes came from

I had no clue Steve was afraid of heights

{I totally relate - so I tried to push the limits on being brave}

sweet little monster hat. 

{given to me by one of my best friends}

when I saw it I KNEW Brady had to wear it first!

showing Brady - bravery at it's finest. 

looking something you're afraid of...

{uncomfortable with}

straight in the eye.

and stepping on it...

LONG ENOUGH TO GET A PICTURE

such a sweet moment 

Brady wouldn't stop looking at his Daddy.

I love taking pictures of their family!

You can feel the love that they have for each other. 

It's palpable!  Their smiles and giggles are contagious.

They're in this together!

Can't wait for our next shoot!!

Nicolas {7 months}

When I walked into their house - Nicolas was just finishing his breakfast.

I fell in love with his big blue eyes and smile!

He definitely is a mover!  So much fun to follow him around.

I absolutely LOVED their green wall.

look at those eyes.  SERIOUSLY!

sweet family time together! 

I need this book someday when I have kids.
