Blessing Day

What a special day, today Naethanael had his baby blessing in our home! John's blessing was beautiful and a miracle struck! NaeNae sat on my lap and didn't move a muscle. I think he was in aww sitting around the circle of men. We also couldn't get him to smile for picture, but we needed a family picture to remember this special occasion. We love you so much Naethanael you are a special spirit and we treasure you! your smile radiates, your energy is neverending, you make us laugh daily, you are growing up way to fast. Jocelyn was nice enough to let us do the blessing on her Birthday so she picked the meal. BBQ feast!, and my friend Maren helped me make a Rainbow cake on the inside as JoJo requested! We're so grateful for all the family that came to support us. Love poured on us and the spirit was so strong.

Our masterpiece, as long as you didn't look at the back! I didn't take a picture of the inside, but it looked like a neon rainbow and tasted AMAZING! 

Officer De Young

Naethanael and I rode with Grandpa and Grammy to Carson City to watch Daddy graduate from the DPS Academy 71. He did it and we are so proud of him! I cried when he rose his hand and was sworn in as an Officer! I am amazed at his accomplishments, hard work, and dedication! This was not an easy 15 weeks for either of us but together we helped each other remain strong! It was an honor to pin the badge on Officer De Young! I love you so much honey and Naethanael was ecstatic to pick daddy up from camp! 

 

Lovin us some Lily!

We are huge fans of this little girl! We love lovin on Lily! Every time Naethanael see's her the first thing he says is "I hold you!" He is so gentle and sweet with her. We were watching her one Saturday morning and we were driving in the car and she was fussing in the backseat and he said, "Shh, shh, shh it's ok, you ok" I love how he repeats things he hears me or other adults say now. He's a smart little guy and so very loving! He loves to give lily kisses! We took lily to the park with us another Saturday morning while her mommy was at class and she was a little social butterfly! she was telling me stories galore! I sent John these pictures and I told him this is why we need a little girl! look at all this girliness! she is too stinking CUTE! We've also spent a lot of time at lily's house lately whenever mommy is feeling a little lonely we crash at Lily's place! She just brightens up my day! we love you Lily Jean! 

Frozen Yogurt Date!

John, Naethanael, and I met up with Aunt Coo Coo and Tiffany at town square for some scrumptious Frozen Yogurt! I'm pretty sure every time nae nae gets yogurt he picks out all the candy and leaves the yogurt! We had some good laughs! I love these girls! 

Families are Forever

Movie Date!

This little man has kept me company and mostly been sweet, sometimes grumpy and mischievous, while daddy has been gone! Tonight we enjoyed a night out to the Movies! we had popcorn and some candy and he thought it was the coolest thing ever! this is the second time he's gone to the movies and this time he didn't move a muscle! 

Toddler Proof egg dying

We successfully colored our eggs toddler style! Naethanael loved coloring eggs this year! he wanted to do it all by himself! he kept saying, "No, stop, I Do it!" Thank goodness for that whisk, thanks to Pinterest!! He wanted to make all the eggs green! i finally convinced him to make one blue one. I love watching his eyes light up when he tries something new for the first time... it brings me much joy watching him grow in to a little boy!

My little Artist!

We've discovered water color! someone loves to paint! it's a bit messy but I will take the mess in exchange for some smiles!
