Maelie's 13th birthday, Hudson's blessing, and Deacon's 4th birthday

On June 4th, Maelie became a teenager. Ahhhh!  

Kristen and Gary and fam came to visit for Hudson's blessing, which happened to  the same weekend as her bday.

The kids get crazy when cousins come to play!

We used the candles that relight.  Hahaha

Hudson was blessed June 5th.  We had a lot of family come.  We invited our neighbors to come and they did!  Just for the blessing and then left, but at least they came.

About Deacon:
   He is a sweet boy.  He has always been really good, busy, but good.  When we get home from picking kids up from school, Maelie calls out, "I'll get Hudson" (meaning out of the car seat and into the hosue)  and then Deacon calls out "I'll get Mommy"  :)  He has my heart  <3 .="" him="" i="" love="" nbsp="" p="" pieces.="" to="">
