I forgot to mention earlier…How cute is it that the boys are wearing matching outfits!

No matter what Britney does, someone is always going to criticize her for something. There will always be someone to tear her down. She’s come a very long way, and I for one am happy to finally see her healthy and well. From the pictures I’ve seen, the boys were very happy. Plus, it’s unfair to judge a situation based on pictures, when 1) You don’t really know the situation, because you’re not in it and you don’t know the circumstances, and 2) The stalkerazzi most probably were shoving cameras in their faces and being annoying, like they usually are. I wouldn’t be too happy either, if I were them. Britney can’t win either way, but I am very proud of her. And, it’s like someone else said. Kevin doesn’t so much shield them, as he just doesn’t go out with them in public much. Maybe that’s considered shielding, maybe it’s not. But, he’s not nearly as famous as Britney is.

Preston’s smiling in the picture in this post. But Go to a fansite like britneybabies.com. There were hundreds of pics from the pumpkin patch. Both boys look like they are having fun & more than comfy w/ their mom & situation. There are several nice pictures of Preston with a big smile on his face, while pointing out different things & looking around. They also looked happy riding in the wagon & going into the Jumpin Pumkin thing.

jayden is clearly reaching for the little pumpkin.

it’s great to see britney has made a change for the better! i wish her well.

Oh, and I’m confused by SeanJay’s comment that Kevin “is not a celebrity”. Isn’t he a musician, like Britney (granted, he’s nowhere near as famous as she is)?

lilith- Like dely said, maybe Jayden was just tired. Or maybe he’s going through the “terrible twos”.

Also, if you look at the pictures, it looks the paps got pretty close to them. I doubt you’d be smiling if a bunch of strange men were sticking cameras in your face!

Sean shouldn’t have a Paci in his mouth, he is 3

Izhira,
I don’t know which photos you’ve seen of them, I followed the link to JustJared and in NONE of these photos does JJ look “completely satisfied and happy”. The faces he makes, his body language, to me he looks like a child who’s uncomfortable with the situation.
Sure, this is just a small caption of their day, maybe the rest of the day he was all happy and smiley.
But judging from the photos provided here and on the link, these boys, especially the younger one, are far from looking like they’re having a good time.

That girl will never win with you! you’re judging by one photo! at least do it good and watch the whole set. In fact this photo look posed because her bodyguard was photografing them and of course a lot of paparrazzi were there too. As izhira said jayden was simply asking for it’s own little pumpkin and if you look the others photo you will see that preston was having a very good time (jayden however seems a little tired).
I’ve seen too that she picks them up from school on that same day but we have no pics because her team was hiding them with umbrellas.
Sorry my post is a little long but she’s really improving and there a ton of lovely photo with the kids kissing and hugging her so i thought it was good to notice.

AWWWW! It warms my heart to see Britney with her boys again, as well as finally looking happy and healthy. I subscribe to PEOPLE Magazine, and when I saw the picture of Brit at this year’s VMAs, I thought “Whoa! What a difference a year can make!”

That was the first time in more than a year that I had seen Brit looking healthy and happy like she did before her downword spiral. I’m not kidding, I just about started crying for her, out of joy!

As other commentors have said, it is clear that she was struggling IMMENSELY for nearly two years (her downward sprial began very shortly after Jayden’s birth in 2006), and especially last year.

When I look back at pictures from what I call the “culumination” of her downward spiral (i.e., from just before her first hospitilization to just after her second one), she truly looks like a lonely, lost soul in them.

In particular, I remember one picture of her from just days before her second hospitilization. She was sitting on a curb, holding her Yorkie puppy London, and crying. My heart just broke for her when I saw that picture. Sad as it is, London was probably her only true friend at that point.

Anyway, my point is that it makes me extremely happy to see how far Britney has come. I also have to give HUGE props to her dad. I truly believe that Jamie literally saved Britney. Had he not stepped in, I hate to think of what would have happened.

I hope that she will be able to regain joint custody of those sweet boys soon (just a note, though, the conservatorship was extended through the end of the year. There is a hearing next week to check on Brit’s progress, but I doubt the conservatorship will actually be dissolved until the end of the year)!

Britney, if you’re reading this, I’m very, very proud of you!
