Visit to Grammy and Grandpa's House

So my family recently moved from Nevada to Idaho so John, NaeNae and I planned a trip to go see them and the new home.  It was a long drive (6 1/2 hours) and we arrived super late but besides the drive we had a blast in Idaho! John stayed for the weekend and went back home to work while Nae Nae and I stayed and played for two weeks!  What a beautiful place! Plus, I got to talk to Megan when she called from the airport on the way to Oklahoma that was a BIG BONUS.

We had so much fun at Rigby lake over the weekend! and it was a bonus getting to see Heidi and her boys before they move to New York! the Lake was very cold, but we had a lot of fun. We even rented paddle boards, that was an experience, I think John swam the length of the lake twice to help the kids! Nae Nae loved the sand especially.






 We went on many ranger rides! Nae Nae loved the ranger a lot. Every time the driver would stop driving he would say "Go, Go, Go" 




We played at the Park... and look at how Naethanael ate his fruit snacks! can't believe my mom caught that in the picture. Silly boy! 



I pulled out Andrews first loose tooth and he was so PROUD he grinned from ear to ear for the rest of the night and ran around the house "Look, my tooth it's gone... wanna see my tooth it came out!" My mom and I also snuck a treat when we went grocery shopping! I haven't had a creamie in ages!  Yummy! 

We tried lots of new recipes and made yummy treats! Including, no bake cookies, brownies, scotcharoos, pumpkin cookies! and Honey Lime Enchilada, Carne-asada in the Crockpot, Root-beer Pulled Pork, Homemade Mac-n-cheese! When I took the picture of nae nae eating this Cookie I had a mommy moment... Look how big my baby is! he's looking like a little boy! Please stop growing handsome man...



NaeNae loved playing with his Uncle's and all of his Uncle's toys! especially the superheroes and dress up clothes! He soaked up all of the attention from his Aunts and Grammy and Grandpa just adore him! he loved watching a movie and snuggling with Grandpa on the couch.





 
A couple days before my birthday my mom and I went on a date and she spoiled me! She treated me to a Pedicure and took me to lunch at Cafe Rio. I also got a manicure and we ran a couple errands! JoJo watched Naethanael for me so I could enjoy some time away. I felt so very loved!

Family Home Evening, June


We've had a couple fun FHE lessons this month. We talked about being Happy and having a Happy face! and we talked about Jesus is happy when we choose the right! FHE with a toddler is difficult, but I know it is most important that we spend time as a family! We also went to the indoor swimming pool one Monday this month and had a lot of fun swimming together and we got ice cream afterwards!

Picture Perfect Father's Day

These pictures capture the love and admiration they have for each other perfectly! He is Naethanael's favorite Super Hero by far! they are best friends! John glows every time he talks about NaeNae and when they laugh together time stands still. 





This Father's Day I got to spend it not only with my Husband who is the sweetest most patient daddy to our little boy, but also my dad! I haven't done that since I've been married. We were so excited to be in Idaho with family! and my mom's Father's Day dinner was delicious! I was impressed with her meatloaf wrapped in bacon. We ended the day with all the kiddos tucked in and turned on McFarland!
