Mommy and baby

I never get to be in the picture since I am always the one taking them. Here are some cute pics that I found of Melanie and mommy.

Meuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuanie

She will be 7 months old next week!! She is growing so fast. Here are some new pics of my little Meuuuanie. She is just the sweetest baby. She is crawling and just enjoying life. She loves her big sissy and she loves to play.

Friends forever

Paige, Jillian and Emma moved to Texas on wednesday. It was so hard to say goodbye when we are so happy for them that they are finally with their family. We will be praying along the way for them and for Mark who will be in his last tour to Iraq for the last time before he leaves the army. Kim took a photoshoot of Jillian, Madison, Allison, Emma, Melanie and Ava. Here are just a couple of pics that we took while Kim did the photoshoot. We will post those when Kim is done with the session. We will miss you guys so much and we love you very much Shepherd Family!!!

Build A Bear birthday party!

So Madison's birthday party was at Build A Bear Workshop. She had a blast and we couldnt ask for anything better. All her little friends came to celebrate her birthday with her and she was just so excited. They all had a blast and everybody got a Build a Bear to take home. Madison picked out a white bear and she dressed the bear with a gymnastics outfit. She called her bear "Shawn Johnson" imagine that LOL. She was so excited. After the party we went to cut her cake and open presents at the food court.
Here are some pics!

Party Pics!

So we had a crazy birthday weekend... we had 4 birthday parties in 3 days. We had Madison's birthday on the 15th so we decided to take her to Chuck E Cheese. She loved it. We hung out at home with E and Talia and then we opened presents. She got her dolls and she loves them. She has been playing with them everyday although we dont have any names yet. Here are some pics of her birthday (well.. her actual birthday. We had her party on my birthday LOL I know.. very confusing). Enjoy!

Happy Birthday my sweet little Princess!

I cannot believe my baby is 3.. its 12:27 am and I am just thinking how fast time goes by. It feels like it was yesterday when I was 15 days overdue and so anxious to meet her and today... she is 3 and a beautiful little girl with an amazing personality, the cutest laugh, the most athletic talent on a 3 year old and my future little gymnast. I am so blessed to have her in our lives and Maddy... you have made daddy, mommy and your brother and sister's life so wonderful and so blessed that words cannot explain how happy you make us.
We love you with all of our heart.
Mommy, Daddy, Mafew and Meuuuanie
