warning: maddux overload.

before we begin, I know that this is out of control. but there were too many good pictures that we wanted our families to see. so this post is for those who are not opposed to obscene amounts of pictures of the maddux family.

val and mike came down again with there cute kiddo's and we were thrilled to get some new family pictures! we decided we had to do some at the red rock to document that we live in st. george. so the first half were there and the second half were at the airport...just for fun.

and we are obviously very happy with the way they turned out. the funny thing is that every time val has done our family pictures and our kids have been well, kids... I think, man I hope we get at least a few that aren't a disaster. and then I spend forever pouring over 20,000 good ones wondering which ones to put up in our home. she is good.

so let's begin the picture fest.

how cute is he? he turned it on as soon as the camera was on him!

he loved having stuff to climb on, that's for sure.

he reminds me of a lizard with his pose here.

I can hardly stand how perfect this one turned out...hence my posting 3 versions!

we were shocked when we saw what val got out of her...considering what we thought ali had given her was a bit crazy!

I love her 'lil smile

a lot.

I LOVE this little moment caught on film. it totally looks like she is telling him a story and he is laughing away. they are so dang cute to each other.

haha...she did not hold back on what she thought of this whole thing.

ok, justin loves this because he says it looks like cole is trying to explain his crazy girl friend like "look guys, she's not that bad, just give her a chance." haha

melt.my.heart.

(as chandler bing would say:)

could they be any sweeter?

she was giving daddy kisses.

and then it was father-son time.

again...melt.my.heart.

I love his little expression here.

and then daddy decided to put cole in a rock.

really high...which he didn't mind.

must be a guy thing...

oh but wait...ali got in on the action too...look at this proud dad face.

and mom hiding her terror.
