St. Patrick's day we celebrated pretty low key since it was on a Saturday and our day was filled with soccer games, football games and mama photo shoots.  But we had to at least eat leprechaun food for lunch.

Tyler Loses his 1st Tooth and the 2nd the next day

 Tyler finally lost his first tooth! Hooray !! He was so excited!  The bottom two teeth have been really wiggly for months, but he was not interested in anyone touching them.  So weeks and weeks went by and after eating an apple.... POP it was hanging by a thread.  The very next morning I was gone to a photoshoot and the other one was very very wiggly, so he let daddy grab ahold, and yank it out really quick.  So excited for the tooth fairy to come!!

Daddy Coaches Soccer- Morgan & Tyler's 1st Games

 Daddy decided to coach Tyler's 1st soccer team.  Tyler is so very excited to play and even more excited that Daddy is going to be doing it with him.  I am so grateful to have a husband that wants to be a good dad, and is willing to give up an evening for practices and Saturdays for games! Definitely BEST DAD award over here!

 Morgan was a great power forward and really caught on to the game.  She was beat red from running so much on the field.  I was so proud of her and happy that I got to be there.  I had 2 photo shoots that day, and was stress'n that I would miss it.

Brooklyn's 4th Birthday

Brooklyn's 4 yr Photo Shoot

My dearest little Brooklyn how I love you so much!  I hope you can try to slow down the race to be big. Enjoy the creativity of your imagination, and soak in all the joys of being a little girl! You are my baby girl and I want to cherish all the littleness that you are.  4 years old I feel is the year you say goodbye to so much of being my baby, but in my heart you'll be my baby girl forever!

 

My photographer buddy and sister in law Kelsey Claire Photography comes along with me on these shoots to be sure to snap a few of  me and them alone, and remember the special time doing these mommy shoots.

 As we started to play together, I got to see the joy in her eyes to have me to herself, and see her feel of my love. Since the addition of little brother, it has been a very difficult adjustment for this little middle child, and she has struggled to find her place and find reassurance that although things have changed.... My love for her will never change.

 As I held her close, my heart ached , questioning if  I am giving you enough.... do you feel or see the love I have for you,  do you know that you are not invisible to me, although you often feel you are?  

 I pray for her strength to get through this adjustment and trust that my love as her constant, she will prevail, and she will overcome the weight of trying to find her place once again.  You are my little Brooklyn, you are my silly comedian, you are the one that stretches my capacity making me stronger, you are the only one that gives me those spontaneous extra tight hugs that choke me, and you my sweet are the perfect center of my home.  I love you Brooklyn! xxoo Love Mommy

Happy 4th Birthday Brooklyn!!
