My sisters wedding

On July 30th my little sister, Keekee got married! It was just so perfect in every way.  She opted to go more low key without all the expenses and hoopla that are usually attached to a more "traditional" wedding and I have to say it was just amazing! 

 But most amazing is she and her now hubby decided to do it Gods way and she and Kenzie lived seperately from Jeff for a month prior to the wedding.  Yes they still spent time with Jeff but at night they would pack their bags and come on over and stay with us.  It was so awesome to see how God can work in peoples lives!  Here are some pics of my lil family on Keekee's big day.  I really can't post many of the wedding pics b/c Keekee hasn't even posted them yet but I will sneak in a few of my family by the amazing photographer, Annie Jane! :)

Sophie's special day...

As I momma of 4 little ones I do struggle with giving each of them the attention they need and desire.  So during the summer each one of the kiddos got to spend a day with Momma going to a place of their choice.  Sophie picked the Butterfly Emporium.  Sophie loooves nature.  She loves any little creature she can find!  It was definitely not my kind of place but it made me happy to see how much Sophie was enjoying it! 

Mommy and Sophie before our "date"

Then Kennie needed to be in the picture...

And then Ella...

Then before you knew it every girl in a 10 mile radius was in the picture...

It was such a great day with Sophie.  Of all my little ones she is definitely the one that gets most jealous that she has to share her momma... it was soo nice to have a happy Sophie to myself for the day!

My lil guy and his blankie

I LOVE how much my baby boy loves his blankie. 

He is my first baby to have a "blankie" and I just think it's the cutest thing.  I love to watch him just dive into it when he sees it on the floor

Just another thing about my sweet lil Levi that makes me love him even more!

Summer fun

The Whitacre (and Soto) clan enjoying the summer heat!

Here is the "Soto" part of the equation...sweet lil kennie

Sophie catching some sort of bug...she certainly didn't that love of bugs/insects/butterflies/rodents from her momma!

Oh my...I'm not kidding I could really eat him up with a spoon!

Oh how I LOOVE summer!

Levi's first hair cut...

Levi's First Haircut! 

He was such a good boy just hangin out in momma's lap as Melissa was busy tranforming him into a clean cut little man!

And there he is with his new do! 

Momma loves it!

HOLD THE PHONE!!

Yes folks it is true...my dear little Abbie has said Good Bye to her beloved binkies.  Before heading to bed Abbie nicely packaged her binkies into a plastic bag

(leaving one to suck on until the binkie fairy arrived of course!)

...At approximately 11:32 PM EST the Binkie Fairy landed at the  the Whitacre household and only several minutes after landing she flew away into the night with a baggie full of Abigail's beloved binkies... but not before leaving her a stuffed Nemo and some squinkies. 

Yes that is a bowl full of Dunkin Donut munchkins...this momma had to do something to help subside the ever so powerful binkie withdrawal!

love...

I love that my sweet little Abbie is as happy as a clam that she put her flip flops on all by herself...

And I love that she has no idea how wrong it is.



Yes...mommy fixed it to avoid blisters...those middle toes aren't used to a flip flop thong between them!

4th of July

Some 4th of July cuteness!

Lovin Daddy!

Levi loves to ride on the tractor with his Daddy...but not as much as Daddy loves spending time with his little boy!
