So blessed

Our 4th of July weekend was jam packed with activities! My brother got married (okay, it was in June, but close enough).

How cute are they?

Then we had the annual Rees family pool party. Luckily Deacon still loves the pool (he managed to jump in while I wasn’t looking – SCARY!) IMG_3962

Working on my tan is sooooo hard…

Our new nephew Nixon! He’s 6 weeks younger than E but almost bigger than him!

Then we blessed Evan.  He wore the same suit as Deacon (precious!).  We also continued our tradition of NOT getting a family picture on blessing day!

Deacon isn’t sure what Addie thinks is so funny…..

Of course we had to light some fireworks, Rees style (in the middle of the road blocking traffic)

Before…

After!

Poor kid takes after his momma – we hate loud noises!  I still remember freaking out at fireworks when I was little

Hugs from dad made it all better

Last but not least… 

Deacon’s new favorite thing is to “sleep” in my bed when E is in there.  How can I say no that cutie?

Do they get more adorable than this?!

That picture of your boys in bed together is too precious!! Loved spending time with you guys this weekend :) Evan looked so sweet sleeping on Terry in church in his blessing outfit. Loved it. I wish I'd gotten a better shot of the 3 kiddos together. Ah well...thanks for letting us be part of your day!

No, they really don't get more adorable than that! Evan looks like Deacon's twin! Do you guys think they look alike?

I wish I could have been there! The boys are so cute; that Evan is turning into such a handsome litte guy.

Deacon looks so cute in that new picture with Evan, it almost makes me want another one soon. I think giving your kids a sibling is one of the biggest blessings ever. You are such a great mom, I love how much you love your boys!
