Jamie Lynn Spears is giving a peak into the Spears home.
In a tribute celebrating her daughter Maddie's 16th birthday, the Zoey 101 star shared some rare throwback photos that featured her older sister Britney Spears' sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17.
In the June 19 carousel, Sean and Jayden—Britney's sons with ex Kevin Federline—are photographed smiling alongside cousins Maddie and Ivey, 6.
"16 years ago I fell in love for the first time, and loving that sweet baby girl saved my life in so many ways," Jamie Lynn, who shares Maddie with ex Casey Aldridge and her toddler with husband Jamie Watson, wrote. "It wasn't always easy, and surely farrrr from perfect, but I have always been so proud to be her mama. She's everything I prayed for, I thank God for every birthday we get to celebrate her, and won't take a second of it for granted."
While Sean and Jayden have remained out of the spotlight in recent years, including moving to Hawaii with their dad and his wife of 11 years, Victoria Price, the All That alum has occasionally shared snaps of her nephews—including on vacation in Louisiana, at a baseball game and during family vacations.
And despite a strained relationship with Britney in recent years, Jamie Lynn's love for her older sister runs deep.
"I say, ‘You should be so proud,'" she told Variety last year. "‘Look at what your family's done and accomplished. We came from a small town, and now everybody's fascinated by the good and, especially, the bad. But look at what an example of a strong female you have. You have something to be proud of, and you should have pride in that.'"
